Hello all! My cat, Oliver, has been dealing with a slight skin issue. I'm about 98% sure that it's just a healing scratch of some sort. Anyway, he has a tiny bald patch on his left front leg, and is keeping the area very clean (possibly scratching an itch from it healing?). He is acting...

Hey guys! I am moving into a new apartment in a few weeks and have a tricky situation to deal with. My current place has a lovely mud room at the entrance, so when I open the door to enter, I can close it behind and then enter the main house before I'm greeted by my little guy. He is a darter...

Hello all! Since day one, my little stinker of a cat has LOVED his scratching posts. He has one huge cat tower with sisal and one smaller post that is carpet. He has always preferred the carpet scratcher and uses his tower as his napping spot. The problem is, he loves biting things (he has...

Hello all! My 5 month old kitten was placed on Otomax ear drops last Friday for an ear infection. A few days after we started the drops, he began having very loose stools. I called his vet to tell him, and he said that the combination of the antibiotic, anti-fungal, and steroid in the drops...

Hello all! First off, I'd like to apologize for my frequent posting on here. Anyway, I had my 5 month old kitten neutered yesterday (he also received his shots). He was released this morning, and I noticed that he is scratching his ears and shaking his head. When they did his pre-surgery...

Hello all! Tomorrow morning, I drop off my little guy to get neutered. His surgery will be sometime during the day, and I will be able to pick him up early on Thursday morning. Will he be able to stay home alone in a kitten-proofed room for a few hours on Thursday? Thanks!

Hello all! I adopted a 5 month old kitten last Monday. He is picture perfect and all was well at his vet visit. He is eating like a horse, drinks water regularly, and is using his litter box wonderfully. However, the past few days he has been sleeping an awful lot. I'm thinking that it is...

Hi guys! My new kitten was used to having a half can of friskies in the morning and afternoon, and a measured amount of friskies grillers during the day to free graze on. The previous owners mentioned that he frequently vomited after eating the wet (and they presumed it was because he was...

Hello all! My 5 month old kitten has discovered that he can fit under my couch (which is one of the reclining sofas). I am afraid that because of all the mechanisms in there he will get hurt. What do you suggest I could do to prevent him from going under there? (I have already tried aluminum...

Hello all! I adopted my 5 month old tuxedo cat on Monday. I knew from the start that I needed to get him acclimated to being by himself during the day. So, on Tuesday I left him for 1 hour increments and played with him for about 30 minutes in between each 1 hour time slot. On Wednesday I did...

Hello all! I recently adopted a 5 month old tuxedo kitten named Oliver. I will need to leave him home during the day while I work (I'm a school teacher) but won't need to until the end of August. I am already getting him used to being left alone by gradually increasing my time away from him...
