So I went shopping last week, and picked out a dry food for my cats. In the store, I passed the dog food, got to cat food, and picked one that looked good for them. Brought it home and fed as usual. I just put a heaping tablespoon mixed in with their canned food. I was busy, so my husband fed...

Quick background: last November, took in a very young mother (Bandit) and her kitten (Venom) who had been living outside. Our other cat (Lion) likes other cats, and was happy to meet them. Bandit, understandably, was not thrilled with him. We did the usual keeping them separate, changing places...

So we have Lion, approximately 8 years old (give or take a couple of years)…who likes other cats. He was the newcomer a couple of years ago. Our resident cat at the time was not happy with him, but within 3 months, could tolerate him without supervision. That resident cat passed away almost a...

Hi! Long story short…we asked our neighbor’s permission to take in their cat who seems to be about 6-7 months old (though I’m no expert), who has a kitten. im judging the kitten to be about 8 weeks. The cat had been outdoors only, and I don’t think they were feeding her. We fed her a few times...

Hello! Our cat Lion…we’ve had him almost 2 years, and are not sure of his age. He was found as a stray, and had bladder stone surgery before we officially adopted him. He is on a prescription diet, and doing well. He is an indoor cat in a small but long ranch house (1 floor). We have 2 litter...

We’re looking to build a catio this summer, and would love to build one that is flea/tick free to avoid topical meds, if possible. At its lowest point, it will be a foot off the ground (or maybe more, so that a lawn mower can go under to get the grass near the deck…which is a foot off the...

Dobby is almost 16 now. At her last checkup (November), the vet took a blood draw, and then called to let me know it looks like she’s having kidney issues (no surprise…she’s had only one functioning kidney since she was 7). We switched her to a prescription kidney food (canned as always). She...

So we have a new cat, who is getting used to our house little by little. He mostly stays in my teenage sons room, which is his “homebase.” He mentioned that he thinks the cat might be afraid of the fan, because even though his is not on, he keeps looking at it. Today he was with me in the living...

Lion has been with us for just about 2 weeks...approximately 7 year old male rescue. We think he has some Maine Coon characteristics. He seems on the smaller end of the MC range, but he does have that mane, and tufts of fur between his toes. He's very laid back, and doesn't mind being picked...

Making a long story as short as I can...about 6 weeks ago, I discovered a cat was living in our cellar. Tried to find his home, managed to lure him to a dog crate, and found a rescue to get him...in the meantime, my son was literally in the dog crate with this cat, who seemed mighty pleased with...

i had brought our 12 year old Winkyand Dobby (sisters) to their annual vet appointment in August, and it was recommended that they have dental surgery. They got the blood tests for it, which were all normal, and had successful surgery. Skip to November, we start to notice that Winky seems to be...

Hi there! We are currently renovating our house, to put it on the market in a month or two. Our 2 girls, Winky and Dobby are very friendly, and wouldn't hide from any visitors...they would probably be underfoot trying to be pet the whole time. We got them when they were 3 years old, and they...

History: 6 1/2 years ago, we adopted 2 sweet 3 year old sisters, who we named Winky and Dobby. Aside from an occassional spat here and there, they get along very well, cuddling often. They are spayed since we got them, and are indoor only cats. Every once in a while, a strange cat (different...

Not really sure if this is behavioral or medical, and I will be calling the vet to make an appointment tomorrow. Background: Adopted 3 year old sister kitties (spayed), almost 4 years ago. They were overweight dilute calicos.  While still a little on the heavy side, they are a much better...
