Hi there, I live in a basement apartment and around this time of the year, all the garden spiders find their way into my home as they seek warmer temperatures. I've been waking up with random spider bites which while not threatening, are annoying and itchy.  My usual go-to to repel spiders is...

I have a friend staying over for 6 nights and we're only on the 3rd night. My cat has been so terrified and I explicitly told my friend not to let her into the closet because it's undeveloped. Well, she was careless and didn't close the door properly and my kitty got in. She's in the rafters...

Hi, My cat, Frankie, is displaying what appears to be paralysis on her hind foot on the right side. We noticed she wasn't acting as she normally does on Wednesday, but was fine the day before. She just stayed in one spot the entire day Wednesday and wouldn't move from where we picked her up and...

My kitty hasn't been using her litterbox the past 3 weeks. I know that she's had a lot of upsets lately and I'm trying to work through them with her. My partner, who usually works out of town and is only back every 3 weeks was back for the entire months of April, May and June and kitty was just...

Hey all, I've started to try to carrier train my cat after a unfortunate incident where when I tried to get her in her carrier (twice) in one night, she ended up peeing because she was so frightened. The time before that when I successfully got her in her carrier I took her on a noisy bus, and...

My partner and I recently adopted an approximately 5 year old cat from the local shelter in August. Unfortunately...we don't know much about her such as the type of cat she is, where she came from, etc. The shelter even initially made a mistake and told me that she was fixed, and she wasn't so...

An update: I just got home about an hour ago and my kitty (Frankie) was so happy to see me. Usually the first thing I do when I get home is pick her up and cuddle her a bit while she purrs. I was anticipating her giving me the cold shoulder, but she was so happy to see me. I worry I might have...

Yeah I guess retaliation isn't the right word to use. I heard back from my friends who are dropping by to visit her and she's doing fine, purring, wanting to be pet, etc. My landlords, who are feeding her, said that she's her usual cranky self though. Which is talking about her...

Wow... thank you so much for the informative response. I'm a still a pretty new cat parent so I'm trying my best. I love my kitty, and I just hate that I made her so scared....twice. I have read about the same thing for kennel training your dog, so I will do the same when I get back home by...

A long story short, my cat is a rescue and I got her in August. She's lovely and loving, and generally a really chill cat who is quite needy (follows me from room to room, sleeps with me every night). My boyfriend works a rotation where he's away for 3 weeks and back for 1 week so she's taking...
