I want to tell you a horrible tale. A tale that is gross, but with a happy ending. My male cat had been scratching his ears for a few days now, but not seeing anything amiss with his ears I thought maybe he was fine. Mind you that he is a very hairy eared cat so its hard to tell whats going on...
My kitty has been worrying me. I saw a large brown spot of fur on his chin that I only just noticed. The skin under the fur is black. I've been examining it, it doesn't seem to hurt or bother him, doesn't look scabby, just looks like a pigment change. But it scared me because I'm fairly sure...
I am now the proud mommy of my second cat. She's a darling black and white long haired mix with a tiny meow and a large purr. She's still acclimating to my apartment, but she seems to be settling well,
My other kitty, Jessie, is not. He's hissing at her when she gets to close, sometimes he...
Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I have the opportunity for a second cat. Jessie is one year old, he's been living with me for a year without any contact with other cats. I want to get him a playmate, a friend, and maybe another companion cat for me, since I live alone with my cat. I think...
My cat doesn't scratch walls. Barely touches my bed, and has lots of carboard and scratching posts to play with. But he still likes to dig his claws into me. I know I've spoken of this problem before, and I've talked to a vet, so I'll update you.
I am 1 year of cat ownership down and no matter...
As it turns out, I'm allergic to my cat. He started shedding and my nose and eyes haven't had a rest since then.
Thankfully, I love my cat more than I love allergies, so its the allergy symptoms that will go, and not my cat. He stays. Allergy goes.
So how do I treat this allergy? There must be...
Hahaha, I am now calming down from nearly three days of psychoville. Nerves, anxiety, an onslaught of my personal fear of hospitals, and one cranky cat later, and I have come out on top with a neutered, micro chipped, vaccinated cat. And lessons learned.
So as the big day was finally coming...
I'm so frustrated right now. I've been trying to stay patient and form the habit of putting my cat in another room from me when he attacks me, to show him I don't approve and calm him down.
This time he literally drew blood, a lot, and I'm just tired of it. I may have to start wearing long...
I have been trying so hard to keep Jessie from biting and scratching. Using a spray bottle just seems to antagonize him further. He will literally look at my unmoving leg (with pants on), then latch onto it with his teeth and claws. Its always when he's in that playful mood, he doesn't care...
I came home today from errands to notice that my cat is limping a little. He's not crying out in pain and he's even really playful, and he doesn't mind me looking at his foot, there's no pain when I touch it so maybe his muscles are hurting him. Nothing looks swollen bloody or crooked.
So I did...
Yes, I read the sticky above.
But even reading through that I'm confused as to why my cat is attacking me at random, climbing up my back suddenly, and ignoring toys in favor of biting me. :/
He's only 6 months, he could be playing, but I have so many scratches now that its starting to worry...
Doesn't work with the Van Ness sifting cat pan. I find that Swheat Scoop does not dry quickly or even at all, especially as my cat likes to pee in the same place every time. Therefore when you sift it the urine cakes in the holes and on the bottom pan and doesn't get sifted out as designed. I...
I have to point him right at the food in his dish for him to find it. He'll bug me all night to feed him, he's hungry, but there's plenty of food in his bowl. Does he have a problem with his sense of smell maybe?
He's here, and he's adorable! ^_^ My little fellow is so cute! He's still shy to be touched, extremely active, and so pretty and fluffy!
Now I have a to do list: switch him from dry food to a proper quality wet food, (how do I do this, and which foods should I look at switching him to?) and get...
Hi everybody! My name is Lee and I love cats. I don't have a cat of my own right now, but I'm in the process of possibly adopting one. I think this'll be great! Its been so long since I've had a cat, I'm so happy that its going to come true! Not until end of April through, argh, adoption feed...
