Hi all, I have 3 cats who have coexisted together for a minimum of 4 years. 4yo Ragdoll male, 6yo DSH female and 8yo DSH male. We moved to a new house 6 months ago with not much trouble, they settled into the space a lot quicker than expected. We have been letting them outside supervised. Today...

Hi everyone, My kitten is 4 months old and is 3.2 kg. He is very lean and tall and significantly larger than my other cats at his age. I got him from a shelter and his father is ragdoll and mother is siamese X. Although I think he looks predominantly Siamese. Does this mean he is going to be...

Hi everyone, Just adopted a new kitten from a rescue organisation. He was surrendered as a ragdoll and/or siamese cross according to the rescue organisation. Just wondering what you guys think? I am not familiar with either of these breeds. I am also wondering what your best guesses are for...

Hi all, I have a 2.5 year old male neutered cat. Due to his separation anxiety we decided to try and introduce a young female kitten. We did the introduction slowly (different rooms, through glass, through cage and face to face). Because of his anxiety we expected a very long process that may...

Hi all, We have decided to get a new kitten for our 2 year old DSH male after he has been displaying separation anxiety. After looking at kittens today we are concerned that they may be too playful for him, and this may annoy him and cause more aggression. If we got 2 female kittens would this...

My partner works full time and I soon will be as well. My cat (2 year old male) suffers from separation anxiety. We have tried feliway and rescue remedy to no avail. We cannot get composure in our country. He is a good cat with us, but stresses a lot when we aren't around. He hates new people...

Hi guys, I adopted a beautiful black rescue cat almost 3 years ago. He had a rough start with a lot of illness and vet visits but is now fine (besides carrying the cat-flu and shedding it but this hasn't happened for almost 2 years). He loves my partner and I, but does not like visitors at...

Hi all! Noticed my 1 year old kitty Nox was straining in his litterbox with nothing coming out. Thinking his uretha may be blocked I quickly got him to the vet. His bladder was empty but apparently it was inflamed, making him think he had to go use his litter. He got an anti-inflammatory shot...

Hi all, My cat just turned 1. He had quite a bad past. I got him really young from a dodgy shelter and he was malnourished, had a bad URI and ringworm. It took about 3 months of round the clock care before he was back to good health and eating normally. He isn't a very affectionate kitty - he...

Hi guys, My kitten had a bad URI when we first got him at a few weeks old. He is now about 8-9 months and has had one bad flare up that required antibiotics, but often gets quite sniffly/watery eyes and I feel bad for him. We had him on l-lysine during the URI but now that he has had some...

Hi guys,  I just wanted to make sure I'm on the right track nutritionally. Good cat food is hard to come buy in Australia so i'm feeding my kitten the best i can find here which is Holistic Select. He gets mainly wet food with a bit of dry if I'm going out for longer than expected, and during...

Hi everyone!  I've recently switched my kitty onto premium food. He is getting majority wet food which I've managed to find a really good brand in Australia (Holistic Select). I am now torn between two brands of dry food. Holistic Select Chicken Meal: Chicken Meal, Ground Brown Rice, Chicken...

My 7-8 month old kitten was put on doxylamine tablets for a flare up of a URI he got when he was really young. I've noticed since we have been giving him the medication a massive increase in the amount of water he drinks. There are no other side effects and the sneezing seems to be clearing up...

I adopted a very sick kitten when he was only a few weeks old and nursed him back from a shocking URI. Because of that and his hydration he was always on wet food. He has recovered and been stable for a few months and gained all the weight he needed (he was originally 300g at a few weeks old...

My kitten suffered a bad URI when he was young and we nursed him through it. My partner just took him to the vet to deal with a flare-up while I was at work and get some more antibiotics (he is now about 7 months). The vet said his lungs are actually quite damaged and my partner said 'should i...

I've got a kitty, Nox, who is about 7 months old and when i got him he was suffering from a really bad URI and malnourishment. I had been told by the vet that URI's can stay with some kittys for life and flare up in stressful situations. Over the last few days he has started sneezing again (the...

Hi guys, I have a kitten who is about 5-6 months old. Over the past month or so i've noticed him start to pant at times with his mouth open and his tongue out (just like a dog). The first time it happened was in a car and i've been told cats can pant when they are in stress so i thought this...

Hi guys, So i adopted a beautiful black kitten that I named Nox about 4 months ago now (we don't know his exact age probably about 5 months now). Long story short, we got him in very poor shape from a shelter. Came down with a severe URI, ringworm, malnutrition. Was on antibiotics for about 2...

Hi guys, I would really like some advice on this, im sorry its a bit of a long story. I was in the process of adopting a kitten from a shelter when all the cats came down with cat-flu. because of this he was placed with a carer, and about a week later he got the all clear and i went to pick him...
