I'm not sure how to describe my kitten's facial tic other than a glitch. She does this whenever she is curious, excited, purring, or stressed. So basically, unless she is just chilling, her face is glitching. Phoenix was 10 days old when the Lahaina Fires broke out and was in the burn zone...

I need advice on emotionally healing a very special kitten. We adopted a kitten that survived the Lahaina fires - she is estimated to have been two weeks old at the time of the fires (we named her Phoenix because of this). We don't know much about what happened from there but was rescued from...

About 6 months ago this cat showed up in my yard. I got the chip scanned and it turned out the owner moved and left him with a young woman a few weeks prior. We returned the cat to her but this guy just kept running away and returning to my yard. So we agreed he could stay here. So I fed him...

I'm getting kind of worried. She had her 2nd booster of the FeLV on Saturday and she has been sleeping all week. She eats, drinks, and uses the litterbox. No inury on vaccine site. But prior to the vaccine she was full-blown kitten rampage pretty much non-stop. She will bat at a toy once or...

I took my very sick cat to the vet and he was diagnosed with pancreatitis. They gave him fluids, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory and sent him home. He is not eating or drinking and I am trying to feed him water by syringe every hour. The vet here is slammed because they just reopened a couple...

We moved our cats to our new home. 3 have settled in nicely, but Sephy won't stop meowing unless I am holding her. She has taken a couple short naps and that is it. Otherwise she is running around meowing. I have feliway collars and diffusers throughout the house (diffusers had been going...

Merlin disappeared 2 years ago and a month ago I got a call from the shelter saying my cat was found. He was living in a colony 20 miles away but the person who feeds them realized he was way too friendly to be a feral so brought him in to be scanned. He is still super sweet and affectionate...

On Friday my cat was cowering under the couch and had a fever so I took her to the vet. She could not find the underlying cause and gave her an antibiotic shot. Four days later she is still under the couch - fever is gone but she is not eating or drinking. I have had to force feed her...

My cat was missing for 2 days and I finally found her trapped in a neighbor's garage in a 12" x 6" space behind their water heater. What we figure is that she was chased by their "visiting" cat (who is now gone) and she tried to get up high, overshot and landed in the corner. She doesn't seem...

How do you guys manage multiple cats and their requirements?  I have 3 cats: 1) Sephy - indoor/outdoor  somewhat overweight. I worry that if I don't leave food out all day Sephy will go elsewhere for food and not come back (this happened with Merlin who has been gone for 3 months now). 2)...

I've been fostering this kitten for 6 weeks now and she has gone from 1 lb 2 oz  to 1 lb 8 oz. (6 oz gain).  When I got her she was full of energy, fully weaned, and using the litter.  The humane society didn't do an age estimate upon intake.  She just hasn't grown at all. We foster until they...

I came home early from work today. Merlin got so excited he tried to jump on the banister but over shot it, falling from from the second to first floor.  He is now limping, but will let me touch it and he seems to push through the pain to leap to his favorite perch.  He tries not to put weight...

I've heard of gifting dead things to owners, but lately my cat has been bringing in LIVE things for the other cats!  Every night Sephy comes in with a calling meow.  The other two (Belle and Merlin) come running up to her.  Sephy drops the live thing (gecko, giant cockroach, or mouse.. I prefer...

I foster kittens for the humane society and ended up adopting one of my fosters.  After much arguing, my husband has agreed to let me keep Merlin if he is an indoor/outdoor.  We also have 2 indoor.  I know it's not ideal, but Merlin was not likely to be successfully adopted from the...

My three year old cat has recently been nipping at my husband any my ankles (not our kids').  It seems to have begun when we switched brands of food (vet recommended c/d).  Anytime we are in the kitchen she nips very gently, but it is getting annoying.  I'm not sure it is "feed me" behavior...

Hi.  Newb here.  Just wanted to introduce me and my kitties.  I've never owned cats until now due to childhood allergies.  We have 2 cats (both adopted at 10 weeks).  Saphy and Belle (Saphy is short for Saphira a dragon.  I really want another cat and name it Merlin so we have a dragon, a...

Hey guys.  I need your opinion on something here... I took my 2 year old cat to the vet for urinating everywhere and the vet diagnosed her with crystals.  But during that I mentioned that my cat had problems with her hips so I requested an x-ray.  She has hip dysplasia.  But my issue is that...
