    My cat breathes very strangely after playing

    She is one year old. Always wants to play. But when she does, she walks away panting and breathing like this. Anyone know what it could be? For context, she plays with my 10 year old cat and he does not walk away panting. here is a link to a video of her breathing: November 25, 2023

    Anyone know where to buy newspaper litter for cheap?

    I've found that newspaper pellet litter works the best for me and my cats, but it's $20 for a 25lb bag, and we get through a bag every week! I cannot afford to keep buying it, so I switched to pine pellets, which are awful. Anyone know a way to get the newspaper pellets on the cheap? Thank you :)

    Do you think reintroduction would help?

    Hey, I have two cats- one is around four years old and the other is five. When we got the younger one, he was a really tiny kitten. He wanted to be friends with the older girl, who is quite skittish but not aggressive at all. Nowadays, he bullies her and she spends most of her time hiding. She...

    Ringworm Coming Back?

    Hey, My cats and I have been ringworm free for almost a year, and I think it maybe coming back... somehow. I noticed a tiny spot on me the other day and my cats are itching their ears a LOT.

    I scruffed my cat I feel awful

    Hi everyone. My kitten (9 mo) escaped outside and it was dark and he ran right for the road. There were cars and people drive 60mph on this road so I grabbed him by the scruff and I feel so awful about it. I could have potentially just tried reaching for him and grabbing him but I didn't want...

    I terrified my kitten

    My mom was just vacuuming and my kitten was about 10 feet away. He immediately started running around like crazy and it's been an hour or so by now and he's still very on edge and isn't even eating. Is there anything I can do? I feel horrible :(

    Do we worry too much?

    Maybe it's just me, but I am constantly worrying about my cat's feelings (especially my older cat, because we got a new kitten, and I think she was happier without him) Anyways I sound crazy, but am I the only one???

    Huge pupils at night, is this normal?

    Okay I am super anxious when it comes to my cats so please bear with me if this is a stupid question or I'm just worrying too much, but is it normal that my cat's pupils always get huge every night?

    Re introduction after new kitten being away for 3 weeks

    Hi everyone :) I got a 8 week old kitten about 2 months ago and sadly he had ringworm, which we didn't know about prior to his adoption. The shelter we got him from said that they would treat him and then return him to us, because we didn't want to risk our other cat (almost 1 1/2 years old)...

    5 infections, all at once.

    Hello cat people :) I recently adopted a 2 1/2 month old kitten from the shelter. He has been so calm and cute and cuddly, but not very active. He also came home with a respiratory infection, which our vet told us to just let heal on it's own. We took him back to the vet today and he was...

    Brought a new kitten home, feeling guilty

    I have a precious 1 1/2 year old cat named Gemma (female) and I brought home a male 2 1/2 month old kitten today. The kitten needed a home and he is so sweet, but my Gemma seems to be scared of him. I feel so guilty because I don't want Gemma to feel abandoned; I have been giving her extra...
