Yup, URI. She's on meds now and should be back to normal soon.
Funnily enough I had my other cat in about 2 months ago for hacking like he was hacking up a hairball, and they ran all sorts of tests, etc. The vet didn't find a thing wrong with him except that he was mildly constipated. But now...
Hi all. In August, my friend got me a cat. For my birthday. Ever since we've had her she's been really sniffly and sneezy, but I never really thought much of it. I thought she might just have a little cold and it would go away soon. She's had a sneezing fit before where she sneezed maybe 7 times...
I'm trying to catch a video but he doesn't do it often at all. In fact I've only seen him do it three times in two days. And it's over so quickly. Hopefully I can get a video. The vet said they'd call back and give me some advice since I really don't have the money to bring him in for just...
My cat Hunter has been to the vet twice for this. Actually, he never actually formed crystals, but he did have trouble urinating and the vet suggested we switch to a primarily wet, low carb diet to help him get more fluids. it seems to have helped.
Well, they do say sometimes people come out of being anesthesia different. Personality changes, cognitive changes, etc. Maybe it can happen with animals, too? I know that's not a helpful reply but it's an interesting thing to consider definitely.
My cat Hunter has been gagging for the last 2 days, like he's trying to get rid of a hairball. He's a short hair and doesn't get hairballs often, but he has before. I've only noticed him gag/hack three times, and this time some slime dribbled out of his mouth.
We haven't switched cat foods, but...
I don't think it's a jealousy thing. When I lived at home, we had 7 cats (I count 2 feral, outdoor cats we take care of in the winter) so he was around other animals all the time. Dogs, too. We initially moved out on our own for a few months, got Hunter, and then when Hunter settled in we...
Has he seen a vet recently? Any changes in the household? Anyone take up a new job, home less often? Sometimes it's not being cold but they'll shiver when they're scared or in pain. Might want to make an appointment eventually. It's probably nothing because cats, like people, are all unique and...
My SO and I live with our 2 cats, Hunter and Louie. We got Hunter together, but I've had Louie ever since he was born, when I still lived at my parents house. So he's pretty much grown up with me. He was a typical kitten. He's not a super affectionate cat; doesn't like to be picked up and only...
Since I was out at the store a few days ago, I picked up some wet food. Even though I already had bought dry food for the month (d'oh!) and I've been feeding them wet food for breakfast and "dinner" with a snack, usually a few kibbles each, of the dry food. So far I'm noticing my one cat is...
Well no, not really. I usually buy a smallish bag that lasts about a month, give or take. I do most of my shopping at Meijer and they carry brands like Fancy Feast, Iams, Whiskas, Beyond, Sheba, Cat Chow, etc. I'd prefer to pick the cat food up there since I do all my shopping there, but I guess...
Any recommendations on brand? I've considered before but I usually just give them wet a couple times a week to change things up. What about feeding plain chicken too for snacks?
When we were introducing them we tried everything the websites said. Kept them apart, fed them at either side of the door so they could get used to each others smell and associate a good thing (feeding) with each other. But ultimately it wasn't working, so we opened the door and just let them...
This may be a situation where kitty xanax may be helpful, have you asked your vet? Also, not trying to sell or promote anything, but I've heard good things about Feliway for anxious cats.
Hi everyone. I have 2 young male cats, one who is a chunk at about 20lb and the other who is lean and fit and a healthy weight. Our overweight cat has always been small, until he reached about a year, then he suddenly put on a ton of weight. He's been to the vet who said he'd like to see him...
If there's no issues at the vet I wonder if it's just a behaviour thing. Cats get stressed really easily. Our cat was like you described, anxious, running, always cowering/hiding/hissing. It took a LONG time for my fiance to be able to approach him for pets, and even now sometimes he skitters...
