We just picked up our 4yr old male today (4hours ago) and he's not acting normal either. The vet wasn't too helpful either, and I am getting worried. He doesn't make it to the cat box at all. When he starts to relax (i.e. lying down, sprawled out) he urinates. It's quite bloody, and he was...
They were both microchipped when we adopted them. I had collars with bells since they love to sneak up behind me and sprawl out right behind my feet. I heard a rumor that most places don't actually scan for the microchip unless you take the "stray" to a Vet and ask them to scan it. Is that...
When we adopted our two year old, he wouldn't go to the bathroom either. But since we already had another cat, I brought a little of his litter and mixed it in with the new cat's litter. The new cat went to the bathroom right away. I was told by my vet that if a cat doesn't eliminate in 24...

How can you put one cat on a diet when the other cat doesn't need to diet? They eat from the same bowl, that is filled in the morning and they graze on it all day/night. I switched then to weight management food about 6 months ago, and have keep the proportion the same, and they actually seem...
Yes. Meeko was fixed as soon as he was old enough. But I'm not sure when Buddha was fixed. When we adopted him he was already fixed, and the shelter had no information on him. I should also mention that Buddha loves to talk. Meeko is a rez cat, and Buddha was a rescue cat. I've never had...
We have to keep the windows closed because Buddha and Meeko figured out how to pop out the screens (they run and jump at the screens, eventually knocking them out).
Hello,
Last summer my cat started urinating outside the litter box. We took them to the vet and got`em checked out, made some changed based on the advice of our vet. And it stopped (eventually). But it's recently started again. According to the vet records (yes I keep every bill and I even...
