I have a very fussy little semi-feral, Autumn, who refuses to eat wet food. The only daily meal she'll accept is raw chicken necks... I've had her checked out for things that could cause this kind of food aversion, and there's nothing medical going on. The official diagnosis is that she's very...

My mum's cat has always been an over-eater, always pestering and begging for seconds, but over the last, I suppose year and some, she's turned it up to eleven! She's now getting 4x 85g pouches of wet food a day and she'll still ask for more. She's 12 years old and has been wormed recently, and...

My new kitty Toddy seems to have a vendetta against anything made of paper/cardboard. I've ad him for 3 weeks and in that time he's torn up a book, several loose pieces of paper, a carboard envelope, and annihilated 5 toilet rolls. Just now I caught him in my wardrobe chewing on a hole in the...

Last night I noticed my flatmate's cat has some teeth/gum problems. It's the tiny front teeth on the right side of her lower mouth; the teeth are out of alignment and the gum is red and swollen. The tooth at the front has a slight brown discolouration around the bottom.  My flatmate suspects it...

I've adopted another stray, this time a very handsome little male. He's probably about 8 months old, one of a litter we think was dumped when they stopped being cute/started being work.  He's a little timid but super affectionate. In good health except for some chapped/cut paws... and he...

My grandma's cat is allergic to fleas. Poor Tabby gets driven crazy by them the second they start to get a foothold. She'll scratch the inside of her ears until they scab then scratch them some more. She gets twtichy and miserable and it's so painful to see.  We were giving her a comfortis pill...

One of the cats peed on a pile of clothes in my bedroom. Before anyone gets on me about taking them to the vet and checking for UTIs etc, I know why it happened. My flatmate's boyfriend moved in and brought his cat with him (without telling me or the other flatmate ) and they just let it loose...

I know it's relatively common in dogs, my grandma's last 2 dogs have had it. But my flatmate says that when I'm not home, my cat wanders around the house meowing. She doesn't stop until I get home. (She may have also peed on the bath mat in protest of my absence). She's normal when I am home. ...

Hi there. I took my cat in to the vet today and while she's fine, the vet did point out that her teeth were in pretty poor nick. My cat is only 2-ish years old so her teeth shouldn't be as discoloured/covered in tartar/plaque as they are. They're not beyond hope or anything - the vet didn't even...

And before you say 'spay her' - I already have. That's the problem. I spayed her within a week of adopting her and her 2 babies off the street, because she was pregnant at the time, and the last thing the situation needed was a second litter of kittens. But because she was pregnant it was a...

Hi there. I'm a bit of an amateur carpenter, and I've already made a cat tree for my kitty. Now I'm thinking of making an enclosed little box, because it would solve quite a few of the problems that comes with having inside cats in a house shared with other people. Namely the smell, which I...

For the last two days she has been desperately trying to get out of the house, up to and including attempting to open my window, because of this tomcat calling outside. He's been circling the house calling and she's been following him around on the other side of the wall, calling back. All night...

Hi there - not sure if this is the right topic to post this under and I'm sorry if I got it wrong. I'm going away for 3 weeks to visit my family in another country. Which means leaving behind my kitty cat :C I took her in after she had been abandoned and I've only had her for not quite 5 months...

Hi there. I have 2 cats, a mother and het 7-month old kitten. They're inside cats ofr a couple of reasons, the main one being we live right on a corner of quite a busy road. When I first got them the plan was to let them in and out by leaving my window open, but because of the road thing and...

I bought some cat/kitten milk a while ago, and the cats really seemed to like it! I wouldn't mind giving it to them every day, as another something they can enjoy (seeing as they're inside kitties so I feel bad for them and I want to spoil them to make up for it). But is that okay? How often can...

Hi there, it's me again... Recently my friend and I took in an abandoned/neglected cat and her two kittens. I am keeping the Mama cat, we found a home for one kitten, and my friend is keeping the other kitten, Phil. Phil was the more quiet and reserved kitten, but she wasn't really shy or...

Hi there. A little while ago I posted about my cat Mama, and her insistence on messing on the bathroom floor even though she had access to 2 litter trays in the house. She had no problem with the trays, but the bathroom floor was her 'first choice' when she needed to go, for some reason. I...

Hi there. I have recently moved in to a house with 3 other girls. Me and another girl in the house have adopted cats - a mother cat and her kitten - and things are going well. Except this house has a bit of a pest problem. We have cockroaches. Now, they're New Zealand roaches, so they're not as...

Hi there. Mama has been living in the house for about 10 days now, and she's been doing fine. I put her litter tray in my room, on a tarp so even if she missed the box it wouldn't be a big problem. But the tarp doesn't reach all the way to the bathroom! My friend has been letting the kittens...

Hi there. Mama's been off her food Saturday and Sunday, and Sunday night and this (Monday) morning she was just nibbling. I put down some fresh food (Dine turkey in sauce or something) and she had a little taste. It hadn't been down her more than a couple of minutes before it came up again. I'm...
