Our darling cat, Emily Dickinson, was found as a skittish feral 5 month old kitten. Now, 3 years later, she is the sweetest, cuddliest, most beautiful, purriest cat in the world. She is still a little shy with strangers, but is an absolute darling. She is an indoor cat. She has only seen other...

Here is a complicated situation: 1.5 years ago: found feral kitten: 4 months old?, took her home 1 year ago: young cat is fully tame, purring and cuddly and able to be picked up. She is fixed. Early August: move from Europe to Midwest to Granny's attic. Feliway had been plugged in for a month...

We found our cat alone in a warehouse as an extremely timid 4-ish month old feral. Over the past year and a half, she has made leaps and bounds and is a total cuddle bunny. But, I'm feeding a neighbor's cat this week, and realized that all of the other cats we know are less claw-y. Our little...

It looks like we are moving from the UK to the midwest in the USA in August. It will require 2 flights. Our cat is coming with us, obviously. But I am really worried about how to do it to minimize the stress. Please help! Here are my concerns: 1. In cabin or in the hold? 2. Hire an expensive...

Our cat is an indoor cat and will be nearly 2 years old in August. We are relocating and it will require 2 flights taking about 12 hours total. Our cat has only traveled short distances to the vet. We are anticipating this being a horrific experience for all involved. But what can we do to make...

Our cat is about 14 months old. Lately, she has been gnawing at our ikea shoe racks.

Nearly a year ago, we trapped a kitten at my work. I work in a warehouse that, at the time, was adjacent to two massive construction sites. No other cats or kittens were to be found. We assume she was about 4 or 5 months old. My husband and I took the terrified cat home to our small flat and let...

We have a bit of a sweater eating moth problem that needs to be fixed . It seems that mothballs are toxic to cats. Any effective but nontoxic solutions? We live in a small flat and the top of the moth infested wardrobe is kitty s fav resting spot.

I have resolved to start trimming our dear cuddle bunnys claws. I will use food as rewards, obviously. But what tool do you use? Links to pictures please. She has light coloured claws so it is easy to make sure that I dont get the quick.

Do you? Not declawing, but just trimming. Our cat is an indoor cat.

We found our kitten in the spring, when she was stray and/or feral and very hungry. Now she is tame and cuddly. We think she will be a year old in December. She seems to be eating a lot these days and is generally looking a bit thicker. We feed her 1/3 of a can 2x a day. She always has some dry...

Our dear cat/old kitten is about 10 or 11 months old. Both my husband and I have noticed extra gnawing in the past week or so. Could she be teething?

Emily will sometimes play bite. I always move my hand away and ignore her, but my husband thinks that she knows that this is just play. What your thoughts on the matter?

This evening I got a scratching post off of freecycle. Emily was very confused by it. I'm assuming it smelled of the cat that used to use it. But then, she started rubbing her face all over it. At some point we noticed a pool of liquid on the floor by the scratching post. We were terrified she...

When my husband and I found and took in a feral kitten, we were at a loss. A local Animal Advice Charity has been SO helpful and supportive. Two of their volunteers have come to our house twice to bring cages and traps, and they have been great at reassuring me. We don't have much money, but...

Our dear, but uncooperative itty bitty, is in heat. Weeks ago, I made an appointment for her to get fixed this Thursday. Can she be operated on? She is rather stubborn about getting in the carrier to be taken to the vet, so trapping her is another matter. The poor thing looks so bewildered.

We found our cat as a 12 week old feral several months ago. We think she about 9 months old. We managed to get her to the vet once, he deemed her too feral to treat without being knocked out. She has since become rather tame and sweet. We'd LOVE to get her to the vet again, but every attempt is...

We left our cat at home for a week while on holiday. A friend popped in to feed her daily. When we returned last night, we discovered that the birds eye peppers that were on the counter top had become her favorite play thing. She had dragged them from our kitchen to our bedroom and had chewed...

Our young cat (7 months? ) was originally feral but is now pretty tame and sweet. She has not been fixed as we are not good at getting her in the cage to to go the vet. We currently have food in there and she eats all meals in the cage with us near. Hopefully, we'll be able to trap her and get...

We've had our feral kitten for almost 3 months exactly. We think she is 7 months old now. Things have drastically improved since finding her and bringing her home. She has gone from skittish and hiding most of the time to sitting on the chair watching us as we sit on the couch. We could pet her...
