    Suddenly violent towards other cat?

    Out of the blue, isis has been attacking saki anytime saki gets close to me while isis is sitting on me. This has never happened before, and the only change is that they had a bath the other day with a new shampoo? Is a trip to the vet in our horizons?

    the little weirdo....

    quick question: does anyone's cats go around the house meowing to themselves?!?!? My little Isis seems to like to play with toys and meow while she is doing it, but she doesn't seem to be calling to anyone, which is usually what is happening when she is meowing.... I'm just confused and...

    keeping kitty out

    So here the current siituation: We have two cats, isis and saki, and two indoor house bunnies, rusty & elias. The rabbits live cage-free in the spare bedroom, but I always have to fence their entry off with baby gates and screens or just shutting the door completely, thus segrating them from...

    tongue stuck on itself?!?!

    So i come home from class tonight to find out from my sister (she's living w/my husband and i) that Isis has decided to get her tongue stuck on itself. as my sister described it, it was like when a human rolls their tongue back on itself to touch, but since a cat's tongue has all those barbs for...

    will they ever get along?

    so I've had Isis and Saki for over a year now, and they have not decided who's top cat in this house. They co-habitate most of the time, but almost every morning, when cats are let out of their respective rooms (saki sleeps w/my sister, Isis with my husband and me), Isis will go and try to bite...

    keeping cool

    so summer has finally hit where I live, and I'm wondering how to keep Isis and saki cool through this heat. neither are overweight, and they have been choosing spots in the shade to rest and such. I have a couple of 14"x14" tiles set on the ground for them to rest upon, should they choose to...

    aggressive at meal time

    so Isis likes to smack Saki when it's time for dinner and I'm preparing their meals. she will try to block her from getting to me (and the food) and will hit and bite at Saki to get her to stay away. how do I avoid this? lock up Isis before dishing the food out, setting the dishes in place, then...

    tongue got stuck on collar

    so tonight, Isis was doing her usual grooming regimen, when she started struggling for some odd reason. on closer inspection, i noticed that her tongue was stuck under her collar. i removed the collar, thus freeing her tongue, and checked her out, and she's fine now, but it was very scary. her...

    wellness or Blue Buffalo

    so I've decided to forgo the raw diet for now, at least until I can talk to a cat nutritionist. I've actually found out (out of boredom really) that both the Wellness brand and the Blue Buffalo are only a few dollars more than the Purina Pro PLan that my cats have been eating, and obviously much...

    should I bring her to work with me?

    My kitty Isis is verrrrrrrry attached to me, and practically clings to me while I am home. Last night I had gone to some friend's house for dinner, and my sister texted me, saying that Isis was being noisy and looking for me, and didn't want to settle down with her really. I'm wondering how she...

    Are these tear stains?

    sneezing and wheezing

    I swear, everyone is getting sick in my house. I came home tonight and Isis has sneezed a handful of times in less than an hour, and when we played, she started making this wheezing sound. There are no boogers or excessive eye discharge, just the sneezing and wheezing. We did bring a new foster...

    random meowing? just curious

    so it's not a behavior problem, I'm just curious as to why my kitty will go to my bedroom and start meowing there (or the bathroom, or at the bottom of the stairs). it doesn't seem to be tired to any particular thing, she usually does this after meals, sometimes hours after eating. it's not...

    eye crusties

    so Isis has always had the tiniest little eye crusties (always meaning, since we got her a year ago. dunno what she was like before then haha). but now they have changed color to a darker almost bloody color. is this something that should worry me or will it go away on their own? I've seen those...

    swallowing noise

    So Isis and I are currently lying in bed, with her on my chest, and I can hear her make a swallowing noise every few minutes or so. Is this just her swallowing saliva and is it normal? Also, she's purring, and I can hear air going in and out of her nose occasionally. She seems healthy, but I...

    are they getting enough?

    So my two kitties get fed twice a day, a 1/4 cup dry food in the morning, and half a can of wet food at night. They are 8 lbs and 10 lbs, respectively. Neither one feels bony, but they will start meowing for dinner a good 2 hours before I usually give it to them. Are they getting enough to...
