    Can cats throw temper tantrums?

    My cat Venus is an incredibly chatty cat. Sometimes they're cute little chirpy meows, ones that sound very happy and chipper. I have no problems with those, but recently her meows have been sounding... Distressed? Bothered? I will throw in there that I recently moved (a little over a month ago)...

    "Cat Proofing" Closets That Don't "Close"?

    Lots of quotes in there, I know. So I don't know if this is the correct forum for this, but I figure it's honestly the best place for it. So I have a very sweet, very lovable tortoiseshell named Venus. She's a big ball of love, but she is also incredibly mischievous. This cat can open ANYTHING...

    needy cat?

    So my cat Venus has been a lovely addition to my family. She's probably around a year and a half old now, so still plenty of spunk left in her. However, recently, her spunk has just been... Too much. I notice she's been exhibiting a lot of attention-seeking behavior, like counter surfing (which...

    Preventing UTIs In Cats?

    Anyone have any advice in helping to prevent UTIs in cats? After having a few days of straining, I brought my Venus into the vet. The urine test came back positive for a UTI, and with the amount of bacteria in her bladder, she seemed to have thought she had the UTI for a while, even before I got...

    How much playing is TOO much playing?

    I don't know whether to put this in the behavior or health section of the forum, but I think health makes more sense. So my cat, Venus, is a little over a year old. Since she's just out of the kitten stage, she still has a lot of energy. She normally gets three play sessions a day - just before...

    Ragdoll? Doll faced Himalayan?

    Anyone have any guesses got what my cat may be? I figure he's not likely to be 100% purebred but he definitely has a LOT of something. I did some googling and he is almost a spitting image of many seal point ragdoll cats I've seen online. But he does look a bit like a doll face Himalayan as...

    Mild Aggression During Grooming?

    Hello there! My cat, Adonis, is a long haired ragdoll (presumably, he looks a lot like one, though he was just listed as a domestic longhair when I got him from the shelter) cat, and is overall a very sweet cat, though he is a bit solitary and does like his alone time and time away from people...

    Separation anxiety? Or just anxiety from being new?

    Hello everyone! Welcome to my first post ever on TCS! I have a few questions about the little bugger of a cat I got a week ago from the humane society, named Adonis (because he's a real lady killer). I am not at all new to owning cats, HOWEVER, I AM new to owning cats by myself, on my own, as my...
