My cat Smokey is a sweet, mellow, loving grey fluffy FIV+ DLH from a cat shelter. He is indoors only, but I exercise him daily with interactive wand toys. I am autistic and live mainly independently with supports (caseworkers who help me on some errands, advocate for me with doctors or...

Hi all! I have a *tiny* livingroom in a tiny apartment, with low windows open most of the time. Today I planted marigolds outside my windows. Tonight I think I might smell cat spray-- not outside, but here indoors! Smokey never sprays. He's neutered and 5 years old, and mellow. I just read...

My friend started feeding neighborhood strays. One of the originals in the stray cat group is a Birman that a neighbor left behind. (neighbor said the cat was expensive to purchase, but left him when she moved) My friend allows several of the strays, including the Birman, to sleep indoors. As...

Has anyone had success using alternative methods such as homeopathy, rawfood diet, etc. to help a cat who overgrooms due to stress?  Smokey is 3, a fluffy grey lion-like friendly DHL. He used to be indoor/outdoor, but for the next 6 months or so, he needs to live indoors in the small room we are...

My sweet, wonderful new cat Smokey is a gorgeous longhaired grey tabby, rather like a floofy bedroom slipper with an agenda. ;) He's very loving. However, he came from the shelter with a shaved-to-the-skin (Bald) look on parts of his hindlegs, backs of thighs, and lower belly. It looks like he...

My sweet new shelter cat, Smokey, is an absolute love. He has flea bite dermatitis (from the shelter-- a clean, well-run shelter.. just many cats in one building, even with flea preventative, fleas can happen anyway) which I am treating with week 2 now of Clavamox pills hidden in food or Pill...

I am unsure  but I suspect my new shelter cat may possibly have mange. He is sweet, FIV+, I absolutely LOVE him! I will ring the vet tomorrow. The bald patches were noted on his discharge sheet from the shelter by the vet, so whatever the condition is, is something the vet was able to see. Maybe...

Hello all, I am new here.  I newly adopted a very loving shelter cat. I am considering prepared raw types and brands. I'm unable to manage Frankenprey due to visual disability. I know cats are such individuals, but I wanted to ask: Which commercial prepared raw brand or type does your cat love...
