Hey! So my 12 year old cat has always been great at using the litter box. But recently periodically she will squat around the room like she’s trying to poop and will squeeze out like one drop of poop, and then go to another part of the room and do it again. If I try to approach her she will...

Hello! Today I brought in my foster cat and her kittens to be spayed. Before they were spayed, they were all sleeping together, playing together, and eating together without a problem. Mom cat was super affectionate. Now it’s been about seven hours since we got home and they are all growling and...

Hello, so about five days ago my cat started straining to poop wherever she could around the house. (Which is very unusual for her, she never goes to the bathroom outside the litterbox) nothing would come out, except for once in a while a single tiny drip or two of liquid poop. I usually give...

I was thinking today that inhaling that dust when dumping or scooping the cat litter probably isn’t very good for you. It probably doesn’t do much on an individual basis, but after years of having cats are there any health/lung issues associated with cat litter? Are cat owners more likely to get...

I know it’s expected that pregnant cats stop eating leading up to giving birth, but the mama cat I’m fostering (first time fostering a pregnant cat) is supposed to give birth any day now and still has a strong appetite. Is that normal?

We are fostering a pregnant mama cat who is due any day now. We got all of the supplies we’d need from the shelter, but don’t have a scale that can weigh in grams/ounces. That’s not something we can really get right now due to coronavirus unless we order online and pay a lot of money for express...

My 10 year old cat was prescribed metacam for a week at a 1.5mg/ml concentration with 0.08ml per day. One of her ears is inflamed, and she has some arthritis. We have tried glucosamine for her arthritis, and it helped a bit but we wanted to see if something else could help as well. (Aka this...

Hello I am going to college next year and my cat is a certified ESA so she would legally be able to go with me. I’m just worried that she would become depressed in a dorm room, which I am required to stay in my first year. Is a dorm room too small? My other option is not to go to a four year and...

Great news! Cats Can Keep Their Claws; New York Bans Declawing

One of the only wet foods I can currently afford is the 12oz Friskies cans, but I recently learned many canned pet food products have BPA. How worried about it should I be? I know dry food isn’t very good for cats but is it worth mixing some in to lessen some BPA exposure? Thank you!

Hey guys. I’m feeling stupid for this one. :headshake: I broke some glass today and the sound scared my cat. She started to leave the room and walked a bit through the glass at the very edge. (No big pieces) My dad tried to stop her to see if she had any glass in her feet and she ran away from...

She is using regular soap to wash her cat which isn’t recommended unless your cat is no longer grooming herself at all. This way they don’t accidentally lick up some toxic soap. She is using regular soap because her cat doesn’t lick himself anymore.

Do you think cats will become more popular than dogs in younger generations due to living in smaller homes and having different lifestyles? Do you see a rise in cat popularity in general?

Hey guys! This June I am going on a week long vacation with my family, and I am thinking about bringing Curly to this really good boarding facility in my town. I usually just hire my regular cat sitter to come check on her once a day but unfortunately since we are moving soon after this trip we...

Hey guys! Okay hear me out. If we continue spaying our own pet cats and nice outdoor strays and therefore the population having the most kittens are the more aggressive/people avoiding feral cats, will the cat population as a whole become more aggressive or feral? Say in 50 years will cats as a...

Hi guys. A few days ago I switched Curly's litter box after her old one developed a crack in it. I had an extra one in the garage that is top entry that she had used before no problem. I filled that one up and then she was using it perfectly for a day or two. The next day I found a poop about...

Hey guys! On Tuesday at my after school play rehearsal, I was waiting for my scene in the prop room off stage. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a kitty hiding in the corner. She appeared to be friendly, so I scooped up the kitty and was going to put her outside (we have a ton of outdoor cats...

Hey guys! What do you do to make having a cat better for the planet? What products do you use? Extra points if it's not too expensive. :) I was thinking recently about how much waste my cat creates and I want to try to reduce it. I'm trying to help the planet in every aspect of my life, and I...

Hey guys! I just got back from my cat's dental. This is her third in three years. I have been told by multiple vets that she has genetically bad teeth and probably will need a dental every year to clean and remove more teeth. I'm worried that a dental that often will be too hard on her...

Hey guys! I’ve been doing a lot of research about how to TNR and help community cats. What’s the best way to get into it? Should I get my own traps, or try to find another program to go through? Also, how do you find cats to TNR? I do know there are many cats in my city that need to be...
