    New cat has changed from laid back to aggressive

    Hi all, I have four cats: 1 4yo female, and 3 males: 3yo, 8yo and a new 9yo. They have all been altered. We got this new 9yo male on July 20, and we kept him in a room by himself for over a week, and did slow introductions with the rest of the crew. There was no aggression at all - it was...

    Yowling and ball play

    Hi all, Our cat has recently developed a behaviour where he will play with those little squishy soccer ball cat toys (batting them around and chasing after them, biting them, etc) and then start yowling (meowing loudly, uncharacteristic of his other vocalizations). He's always played with toys...

    Kitten playing too aggressively with us

    Hi guys, About 3 weeks ago we got a 8 week old ragdoll kitten, and since then he has been biting us on both our ankles and our hands. He was an 'only child' as it were, and our 5 year old domestic kitty will have none of his play advances. I think he's just trying to rough house with us but we...

    Water thief

    My cat Stan is a water thief. Any time anyone has a glass of water, he will notice and meow like crazy because he wants to drink out of it. If you leave your glass of water on the table - beware! It will have little kitty paws in it within 30 seconds. We provide him with at least two water...

    Hypoallergenic foods

    Hi all, So we've been dealing with an itchy cat for some time, and recently have decided to assume it's a food allergy. We weren't able to find any hypoallergenic food in the big-box stores (petcetera, petsmart), so went to the vet and got some Medi-cal Hypoallergenic food for Stan. He's been...

    Red eyes from onions?

    Hello, Not sure where to post this, so sorry if this is the wrong place! I have noticed that whenever I am cutting up onions, my cat Stan gets extremely red eyes and he is squinty. It seriously looks like he was the one cutting them up! It doesn't matter where he is in the apartment when I'm in...

    "Paws in the printer" game

    Our cat Stan has recently become obsessed with our printer! I think he's watched it working, and is now very interested in the internal moving components. At first, he would bat at them through the small opening where the paper goes and they would move when he touched them because we had left...

    Feline AIDS/Leukemia test

    Hi everyone, I have a question about the feline AIDS/leukemia test. I was wondering what the benefits are of having this test done. I only have one cat, which I obtained from the SPCA. At the first vet visit, the vet reccommended it, but I declined because I thought "what's the point in...

    Blister-like sore - allergies?

    On Tuesday night, I was writing a paper late into the night, and my 3-yr-old cat Stan likes to sit on the table with me as I write. Well, he was grooming himself as usual, and then focussed in on licking at a particular part of his arm (The inside of his front leg, near his armpit). I didn't...

    Scratching old incision

    Hello everyone, I have a question that I hope someone might be able to answer. We got our cat from the SPCA in early September, and almost a month later, he developed an abcess on his face. We took him to the vet, got antibiotics and a bit of a shaving, and were sent home. Unfortunately, the...
