And have no idea where to go from here. We have four cats and are done with adopting but we just ran into a stray tonight while buying gas.  I called him, he came straight to me, I picked him right up and he and purred and kneaded in my arms the entire way home.  He's dirty and not neutered and...

My 9 year old cat has apparently decided that playing is fun.  Is this a symptom of hyperthyroidism, or did she just finally figure it out?

One of my cats almost constantly flutters her eyes back and forth - so quickly that you can't tell unless you look at the whites of her eyes.  She is a long-haired seal point with blue eyes - can I just chalk this up to the nystagmus that Siamese are prone to or does she need to be checked? ...

We recently adopted cat #4. We're told she's a little over a year old. The problem is, she's VERY relaxed.  She sleeps all day, in the same spot, if I move her, she goes right back to her spot.  She doesn't care about the other cats.  Never plays.  She eats and uses the litter pan, and we've...

My husband and I just welcomed our fourth cat a few nights ago - an impulse adoption, but that's how we roll. :-) She was doing so well today that we decided to introduce her to two of our cats - the third (that I've posted about here) is so aggressive that we keep her apart.  Anyway, the new...

One of my cats has lost her appetite - she's been to the vet and checks out fine, so the vet thinks it's stress caused by a new cat, moving, and my husband (her favorite) being gone.  She's still eating every day, but losing a little weight and at 7 pounds, she just doesn't have much to lose. ...

One of my tenants has pretty adopted a stray cat that's been hanging around (his owner left him when he moved).  HOWEVER, she refuses to make him an indoor cat (oh, but he's so happy outside) and refuses to have him neutered (she's too broke and too busy).  I am planning on writing it into her...

We have now had cat #3 for about 10 weeks, and she is worse with cats 1 & 2 than she was when we got her.  I am almost at the end of my rope.  We have isolated, swapped clothing, towels, swapped rooms, used Feliway, fed in crates next to each other, and everything else and she is just violent. ...

My husband is in the military and is currently away from home more than home for the next few months.  This has upset one of our cats to the extent that when he's gone, she barely eats and sleeps almost the entire time.  Took her to the vet and they couldn't find anything, so we can only assume...

We've had cat #3 for about 5 weeks now and no luck integrating her. I just came back from a two week business trip to find my husband had bought a dog crate and has trained her to go into it (on her own!). He brings her into the living room to sit with him and hte other cats - who she still...

My new cat is a long haired seal point mutt and she's the most talkative cat I've ever had. She's still in isolation, and whenever I go into the room, she screams at me. I know Siamese can be very vocal, so how do I tell if she's just talking to me or if something's very wrong?

I don't know what to do. Maybe we're rushing, but I can't even remember it taking this long before. We've had a new cat isolated for two weeks, started room swap and all. The vet told us my husband could probably start introducing them, so my husband did. It did NOT go well. She was ok with...

We just had a horrible cat fight and one of my cats is bleeding near her ear - more a scrape than a puncture wound. I can't tell if it's a scratch or a bite, but I'm very worried about infection. Does this need an emergency vet or can it wait until morning? Everything I've read online talks...

My current cats are pretty low maintenance. I rarely even brush them and they have wonderful coats. I chalk it up to the Blue Buffalo - it's certainly not me grooming them. Anyway, the medium hair cat I am bringing home later in the week is recovering from her (last!) litter and was...

I mentioned in my intro thread that I am adopting a new cat soon, after she is spayed. Anyway, one of my good friends decided to adopt my new cat's kitten. Since my friend is not local, I went and picked the kitten up at his foster home yesterday and filled out her paperwork from the rescue...

I have a former feral who has been a health nightmare from almost day one. She was close to dying when an emergency vet asked to try a steroid shot. I figured it would either kill her or cure her, but amazingly, it was the start of a huge improvement. We've now narrowed down her issue to...

Need advice! I have a nine year old who simply cannot stand to be confined in a carrier while traveling (tortoiseshell - go figure). If I use a hard sided carrier, she scratches her nose off, and if I use a mesh one, she chews through it. Even tried a carseat, and that didn't stop the...

Hi all! My husband I are in the process of adopting a third cat to add to the two I brought into the marriage. Just waiting on her to be spayed by the rescue, then she's ours! I haven't brought home a new cat in four years (last one was 100% feral), so I'm excited and nervous at the same time...
