    My Cat Just Went NUTS?! Food Aggression?! Help!

    Well, nothing like the onion ring incident has happened again, although she is noticeably more aggressive and hostile if there is food anywhere in the room, even if it's something she doesn't like, and growls when she eats.  I'm not sure what to do other than to just make sure we don't leave...

    My Cat Just Went NUTS?! Food Aggression?! Help!

    Oh, I should have been more clear: She is on her old food now, because the special food was just for some stomach problem she had. The problem started on her special wet food from the vet, but has continued when I put her back on the normal food (the Wellness). I have been considering a raw...

    My Cat Just Went NUTS?! Food Aggression?! Help!

    She seems to be doing okay... she has calmed down a little but I don't think she's lethargic, because I have been able to get her to play a little. I have not found anything suspicious in the litter box. This did start right after the new food. Right now she is doing a little better, but...

    My Cat Just Went NUTS?! Food Aggression?! Help!

    That is bad news, and exactly what I was afraid of when I was trying to get it away from her with the treats. I thought of another factor last night: We moved about a month ago, and I took their sentry collars off a few days ago (they had been put on just before the move, so they should have...

    My Cat Just Went NUTS?! Food Aggression?! Help!

    I have two cats; Ursula (a little over a year) and Buffy (just under a year).  Both are spayed females.  Lately, Ursula has not been wanting to play, and has been more aggressive toward (but still mostly friendly with).  Recently, the vet gave her some special wet food for indigestion.  Ursula...

    My cat has play aggression, but refuses to play?!

    I have two cats, one a little over a year old and one a little under.  I got them a couple of months apart, and did the whole gradual introduction, site swapping, etc, and within a couple of weeks they were playing together (mostly) without any complaints, napping together, grooming each other...

    Question about Declawing and Cat Anatomy

    Ah!  The first link helped to clear it up... And I agree that x-rays done over time would be an excellent resource.  My friend thinks her cat was "just fine" and has no pain even though she's old, but not only are cats good at hiding pain, but this cat in particular is very small and doesn't...

    Question about Declawing and Cat Anatomy

    Hi!  I was just wondering if anyone knows if cats ACTUALLY bear weight on the part of their feet that get amputated when they are declawed.  I know there are lots of reasons to not declaw your cat, and I'm very familiar with them, but I have read some articles that say cats don't actually bear...

    Teach kitten to like water?

    Hi!  I have two kitties; one likes to play with water, but not in it, and the other doesn't seem to like it much at all.  However, if I let her in the bathroom when I'm showering or taking a bath, sometimes she will bat at it.  I have some old corks I float in bowls or the tub sometimes, and she...

    Blood in Litter Box (and I think my cat may be eating litter)

    oh, that is scary!  since i don't know what kitten it is, should i try to make an appointment for both?  we don't have a ton of spare money, but i wouldn't want to wait and observe them to see who is eating it just to save money if it is serious enough that that could hurt one of them.  do you...

    Blood in Litter Box (and I think my cat may be eating litter)

    They eat Purina indoor cat chow.  Every once in a while they get Purina whisker lickin's cat treats.  I used to supplement the dry food with Friskies wet food, but I stopped that a few weeks ago because I was doing it just while they were getting used to each other.

    Blood in Litter Box (and I think my cat may be eating litter)

    I have two female kittens, about three to four months apart in age.  One is nearly a year (10-11 months) and the other is about 7 months.  The older one is not spayed yet and the younger one is.   This morning, I found a pile of damp litter outside the litterbox.  At first I thought one of them...

    One of my cats ate a mystery plant - Not sure if poisonous! :(

    I have two kittens and today I discovered that one of them has eaten the better portion of a large leaf (and a few pieces of some smaller leaves) of a succulent I have.  I got it as a gift and don't know what kind it is, but it looks like this big one: It was whole yesterday and today it is...

    Cannot Figure Out Why My Kitten is Freaking Out

    Hey guys I posted on here a few weeks ago about my kittens Ursula and Buffy who have a few months in age difference (Ursula is the older one).  I took some advice and they have been doing really well lately.  They spend most of the day together... I hear a hiss maybe once a day at most.  But...

    WHY does she INSIST on biting noses?!

    Actually, Ursula was weaned early.  Some friends of mine found her by the road one night and could not find any other kittens or her mother anywhere (despite checking back in the same area for a few days).  The vet estimated that she was about 4 weeks, give or take.  What Mickey did / does...

    WHY does she INSIST on biting noses?!

    Oh, I didn't know there was such a thing as a "love bite" with cats... Now I feel a little silly.  Is there a reason that it is always on the nose, or is that that is just how cats are?

    WHY does she INSIST on biting noses?!

    Hi guys, I know this isn't a super critical issue, but I am just hoping someone can explain to me why my kitten Ursula (around 8 months, maybe 9) seems obsessed with biting mine and my husband's noses.  This is especially true when we are petting her and she is purring / happy... which is why it...

    Did my cat eat plastic?! Help!

    Ursula threw up the plastic tonight -- I have never been so happy about cat vomit in my life!  It was a pretty big piece, also.  I think she may still throw up some more, but that was a significant portion of what was mission, and now that I know she can throw it up, I feel a lot better.  Still...
