We had a cold front move through today, and I noticed that my cats, especially Leo, are much more snuggly. I started thinking back, and realized this is a pattern of behavior every time it gets cold out. He is not usually a lap cat, but every time I sit down when it's cold out, he hops up on my...

I trimmed Leo & Lilly's nails last night before I went out for dinner. When we got home, there was blood on the floor. I checked, and I had clipped one of Lilly's back toenails too short. I was so irritated with myself- this is the first time I've ever done that to one of my cats! I confined...

I have 2 cats, Lilly & Leo. Lilly is a spayed 2 year old, and Leo is a neutered 1 year old. Lilly has never had any litter box issues; she is almost OCD about using the box and covering her business. Leo, on the other hand, has had numerous issues. He started peeing outside the box, straining...

Leo had PU surgery on Thursday. He was able to come home from the vet Friday, and I've had him confined since then (and will until he goes back to get his sutures out in 2 weeks), so I'm carefully monitoring his litter box usage. His appetite hasn't been too great since he's come home. I think...

After several bouts of blockage due to cystitis and struvite crystals, including 2 blockages in the last 36 hours, Leo is having PU surgery today. I went and visited him in the hospital yesterday, and he looked *so* upset and stressed. It just breaks my heart. I'm hoping this does the trick for...

Does anyone have an explanation for this? Lilly *loves* the hair dryer. She is usually pretty reserved and likes to be "around" but not right with me. However, every day when I turn on the hair dryer, she comes running to sit on my lap. I have long curly hair that takes forever to dry, so I sit...

Leo ended up at the vet yesterday after peeing on the floor. He had some (but not complete) blockage in his urinary track. They catheterized him and kept him over night, and diagnosed him with struvite crystals. Today, he urinated on his own, but didn't empty his bladder all the way, so they're...

My cat Leo has been acting strange since Sunday: racing around, frenetically cleaning himself, "bristling" his fur, panting, hiding, etc. I took him to the vet Monday. He doesn't have fleas, ear mites, etc. or anything else they could find wrong. They suspected it was in response to something...

I'm not sure if this fits best here or in Health & Nutrition... Leo has been acting really strangely today. He is frantically cleaning himself, panting, and racing around. It seems like he feels like he has something on him. We had fleas in the fall, but they're on Revolution now. I flea-combed...

So, I found out yesterday my cats have fleas (probably from having the windows open, as they are indoor only). They are on Revolution, and I have started the washing/vacuuming process. Sigh! As I've read back over previous threads about fleas & getting rid of them, I've seen a few posts about...

A little background: I have a cat, Lilly, who turned 1 in March, and now eats adult cat food. This weekend, I adopted a little 11-week old boy, Teddy, who obviously eats kitten food. Teddy is currently isolated, and both cats are doing fine. My question is in anticipation of when they have...

hi~ Lilly & I are new to the boards. Lilly is an adorable little gray & black tabby. She'll be 1 year old on Monday. Glad to have stumbled upon this site; it's a great resource!
