Last Thursday my cat went in for dental surgery and they found a mass under her tongue, after doing a biopsy they diagnosed her with squamous cell carcinoma. I am devastated. She is also not even 9 years old yet. The vet said that it was local and has no lymphatic invasion, and her best chance...

I am switching my cat to crystal cat litter but stumbled across some articles that list it as being unsafe and would love some other opinions. I know that some forms of silica are extremely unhealthy but I didn't think that form was in the litter.  Does anyone have more information, or have...

I recently purchased an essential oil diffuser and started using it on my office, where my cat often sits with me. I stumbled across an article that said essential oils are bad for cats but all the research I find is about placing the oil right ON the cat. Is it safe to diffuse oil into the air...

I volunteer at an animal shelter and recently they asked me to take in a 10 day old kitten to care for. This is the first time I've done this so I'm very nervous, I just want her to be happy and healthy. She's now 15 days old. I've been keeping her in my bathroom because it's the easiest room...

I was wondering if it's possible to socialize a cat you've already had for a while? I got Lily when she was 5 months old and she was so scared she didn't come out for the first two weeks I had her. After lots of patience and progress she now trusts me and acts great when I'm the only one around...

I just got a new cat and am having issues with my first cat. I have had my cat for two years and just brought in a new kitty. I have followed everything I've read about keeping them in separate rooms, rubbing a towel on the new cat and giving it to my old cat to smell. Every time my old cat...

I volunteer at a local animal shelter and have recently fallen in love with one of the cats there. I currently have one cat at home and am wondering if she would be okay having a second cat come in.  In August I moved in with my boyfriend and I feel like she is now fighting for attention a bit...

My cat is two years old and has been an indoor cat since I got her. Recently I moved into a new apartment with a backyard and decided to take her out into the yard on a leash. I can tell she's enjoying it but now when we come back in she sits and meows by the door. Sometimes she'll cry right...

Hello Everyone, I'm sorry for asking this because I know it's been asked before but I couldn't find any recent threads and I know there are some new products on the market so I figured I'd ask again. What is the best harness/leash to get a cat? I would like to start training my cat to go outside...

I am moving into a new apartment where my cat's litter box is going to be in my office and I'd like to get a litter disposal system to keep the smell down. I've been doing some research and am not sure what the major differences are between some of the things I have found and was wondering what...

   Hello Everyone, I'm Marina, I've had my cat Lily for a little over a year now. I adopted her from a local shelter that I am now volunteering at. She was found outside with no mother at a couple months old and I've had her since she was about 5 months. Though she was skittish at first, now...

Hello All! This is my first post on thecatsite.com. Lily's second birthday is coming up and I'd like to buy her a cat fountain but am stuck between two. With her current water bowl (just a normal one) she often sticks her paws in and moves the water around, plays and also drinks the water...
