    Recurring blisters/sores on cat's nose

    I haven't posted in several years, but I'm remembering how very helpful it was in the past to receive feedback about issues with my formerly feral kitty, so... I'm back! 😻 Disclaimer: I absolutely will also speak with our veterinarian, but am interested to hear other cat guardians' experiences...

    Small red growth on cat's gums; can't reach vet & starting to worry

    Hi, All -  Wondering if this is a familiar sight to any of you?  This is a 2.5 year old recovering feral shorthair with a small red growth on his gums, right on top of where his incisors should be visible (but aren't).  Took a LOT of effort to get this pic, and this is the closest look I've...

    New, sudden onset of inappropriate urination... help!

    I have a ten month-old, neutered male, recovering-feral cat who has been living strictly indoors for six months.  He has always been absolutely perfect about using his litter box... until tonight!  It is extremely cold here (Ohio), so I placed a heating pad under my cat's bed on the floor.  He...

    Frequent, well-formed bowel movements from 6 month-old kitten . . . is this normal?

    I recently took in a semi-feral kitten who was treated about three weeks ago for intestinal roundworms.  He is using his litter box beautifully (such a good boy!), but I am noticing that he has on average about four well-formed bowel movements per day.  This seems pretty excessive.  His stools...

    Can my young, semi-feral kitty ever adjust to indoor life?

    Hi, all. My partner and I have been caring for a 6-month-old semi-feral cat for about 4 months now.  I had him neutered at 4 months, and have been working on socializing him outside since that time, with occasional indoor visits, and overnight stays in his cage after vet visits.  He does allow...

    Scared stray I've been socializing for 6 weeks is regressing, and I don't know why . . .

    I'm so glad to find this forum, and am so very open to any thoughts/feedback/ideas about my kitty problem! Here's the scoop: A little kitty about 3-4 months old showed up in my yard about 9 weeks ago.  At first I thought he was feral, but then his behavior made me think he was maybe a scared...
