Thank you!

Andraste - female, mixed breed, 2yo, indoor cat, spayed - is being a handful. Now she wants to scratch the keys from my keyboard off, scratch the screen of my computer, and can spend all day seated in front of the screen. I work from home and I need to work, so I carefully pick her up and put...

The vet said the last time she was as healthy as she could be. Then today she did it all again, a lot of poop, a lot of crying, she was panting a lot... The vet just asked me to keep an eye on her. I'm worried again. I put some pressure on her belly to see if she was having some kind of...

Yes, she's spayed since she was a little kitty... Yeah, I thought that or she was having bad cramps, or she had some other pain that was so strong she pooped. The vet will see her today, hope there's nothing wrong.

My little one gave me such a scare yesterday. She started to cry, yowl really, and I found her crawling on her belly, in the weirdest position, and she had pooped on the floor - you see, she was in my bedroom, really far from the litter box. Her vet said I should "wait and see" and that it...

I guess every cat is a completely different universe! I have never met two cats with the same personality ^_^ When I was about 14 years old, I adopted Juju Beetroot. Now she lives with my mom and sister and is a respectable old lady. When I met her brothers and sisters, Juju was hidden under a...

Andraste loves paper. The only toys she ever pays attention to are crumpled balls of paper. And cardboard boxes sometimes, but mostly paper balls. When I'm working, she lays down on my files and books and start pawing and nibbling the corners of the paper. When I tear off a page of my...

My cat is like that sometimes. When I throw a ball to my cat she will sprint like mad and usually "loses her brakes" and crash into the nearest wall. She's also capable of throwing herself from high places to chase moths (she forgets she's not able to fly!). Late at night I can hear her...

If making her poop outside don't work, have you considered changing her food? There are brands for indoor cats that promise your cat's poop will not smell that much. And she needs a secluded, calm place, where she will be able to bury her business. Do you have some place in mind?

I give Andraste dry treats made by Whiskas every day - one or two pieces a day.... I guess I will change brands... I stopped giving Andraste whiskas' wet food right after the first time - she got sick just after eating the stuff. I should have taken that as an warning and changed the brand of...

Thank you, Caseyv, and thanks for sharing your story! You are very helpful, in more than one way... Information + empathy are so important :) I live in southern Brazil, veterinarians are hard to come by, and most people treat their pets with home remedies and superstition, true veterinarian...

The vet said she was in pain 'cause her third eyelid was showing too much. Andraste also assumed a weird hunched position many times while walking or sitting. I said "non-localized" 'cause the vet couldn't find the place that hurt specifically. The first symptoms appeared almost four weeks ago...

Hi! I posted here a while ago about my cat being diagnosed with dry FIP. My heart broke and I was ready to put her to sleep, 'cause she was beginning to feel pain and was only losing more and more weight. Now I don't buy the hypothesis of FIP in her case. Her viral score was medium-high (the...

First and foremost, thanks for all the replies... I read the links and it made me so sad but... It's something I'll have to deal with sooner or later. Like I said, it's my first cat (my mom has a senior cat, but Andraste is the first I care all by myself) so it's terribly overwhelming for me...
