Poor baby, There are some pretty bad animals he could have tangled with. Letting this go can turn into a more involved and more expensive problem. It is better to get him seen. You have no way of knowing if this happened early in the week or just the day you noticed it. Smelling the wound can...

With just this one episode I would not worry. Just watch him and see how he does. Sometimes my cats will have bouts for a couple of days until they pass the hair. Then they are back to normal.

HA, I've never seen those beds before. They are funny Was Charlie saying he thought the judge was delic?

Thank you for explaining the differences of these two cats. GoldenKitty In the photos you posted, is one of the cats an OCI and the other a Bengal? They look alike to me but the addy says OciBengal? I've looked at those photos three times now and I can't see a difference. I guess its a good...

Ask her if she is prepared to lose her. If she has health problems being pregnant will stress her health. Her body will give all it can to that litter even if it takes what she needs. Regarding not altering her. You should make her aware that unaltered Siamese females are at greater risk for...

My vet does the early spay/neuter (2 lbs). In cats, mammary cancer is the third most common cancer. Waiting until 6 months increases the risk. Early spay is the single most significant protective factor. Spaying before age 6 months results in a 91% reduction in risk for mammary cancer...

What do you mean when you say she is off? Sometimes after vaccs my kitties will sleep more and feel a bit warm but after a couple days they are back to normal.

I think this can be a common problem when switching to a new food. once she was okay at the 25/75 mix I would not fall back to the old food. When you moved to the 50/50 how long did you give her to adjust? Did you try to make the progressive jumps smaller?

My sisters cat developed a food sensitivity and the Vet told her it was an allergy to the protein in the food. Of the foods you have tried what is the main protein ingredient? One food that has worked for me is dry Nutro Natural Choice Complete Care Adult...the all green bag.

From your other posts on TCS it sounds like you already have your hands full.

Welcome Tyler, I'd love to see some photos of your fur boys on the Fur Pictures Only! board in the future. Mia

Is he doing a good job? There are household things my guy will do but he does them so badly that I sometimes wonder if he is hoping I will say he shouldn't do them. LOL

I have been wondering if playing with mylar krinkle balls as kittens makes cats want to chew plastic bags. Has anyone else had this experience? Two of my cats did play with those balls as kittens and they are the only cats I have that like to chew bags. I have thrown out all my krinkle balls. A...

Does he have a favorite interactive toy?

Brandon is asserting his dominance and it sounds like Kabou is taking up the submissive posture. As long as he is not hurting Kabou you should let them work it out. By interfering you may be making it worse. He may feel he is unable to be dominate. Rather then saying no and breaking it up try...

With all the work you have done to get to know these cats you may want to ask the owners if you can stop by and visit with them once a week....especially if you think you will be pet sitting them again. I remember you saying they are owned by an elderly couple. The couple may enjoy your visits...

Consistency is key. You must remove your cats from the desk every time you see them on it. Do this with a firm low toned "down". If you ever allow them to stay they will get a mixed message that says sometimes its okay so I'll do it anyway. Its like children. They test us when they can and its...

My experience with timid personalities is that the more you allow them to withdraw the worse they will get. At this point he may not want to be touched for multiple reasons and the mats in his fur being number one. It may just plain hurt. You need to get his fur taken care of. Taking baby...

This isn't going to help you today but I have learned that getting the carriers out a couple days before the vet appt helps a lot. My cats know when they see the carrier to hide. So by getting them out earlier they get used to them sitting out and lose the desire to hide. Some people leave the...
