A friend of mine has a cat who is a little bit of a handful. She doesn't like strangers but doesn't run away and hide, she will sit there and growl and hiss and swat. My friend's mother was there a short time ago and when the mom got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night the cat...

My cat, Rumble, got sick about two weeks ago. He had previously had a urinary blockage and although we still have him on the prescription diet all his behaviour seemed to indicate he was blocked again or retaining urine - so off to the vet we went only to find out he had an anal gland...

We have had a rough week here. My cats are all indoor cats and we have not fostered or introduced another cat into the home recently. One of our cats is FIV+, he also has a heart condition, HCM. On Thursday he seemed fine, Thursday late evening he was coughing a little. We thought it was a...

One of our cats stopped eating gradually over a few days until Friday he wouldn't touch food or water at all. He went to the vet, and then was transferred to the emergency clinic. They can't find anything really wrong with him, there is nothing in his blood, x-rays or other tests that show...

My indoor cat got out on Saturday.  He was gone for less than 24 hours.  The short story is that he was acting very cranky about 12 hours after he came home, growling, unhappy, not drinking.  Off to the vet on Sunday.  Vet thinks he is fine, may have pulled some muscles, mildly dehydrated, runs...

We took in a kitten on a temporary basis (adopter was allergic, long story).  I have had kittens here before but never had any issues with them peeing in inappropriate places. Kitten is 8 weeks old (so they say, he seems small).  He knows how to use the litter box but has also peed on blankets...

I have three boys.  Pootie, Rumble and Raspberry.  They are all roughly the same age, between 2 and 3 (or 4) years old.  All are neutered. Pootie was the original cat.  He is about 2.5 and was adopted by my daughter from the shelter when he was about 5 months old. Rumble is between 3 and 4. ...

We brought in an unneutered male stray two weeks ago. He gets neutered this Thursday. He has been kept in the spare bedroom. We spend as much time as we can with him and some nights I go in and sleep with him. He generally is quiet and calm when he has company but the rest of the time he cries...

I guess I didn't introduce myself last week. Hello from Toronto, Ontario.  I am a human cat beacon. We have a lot of cats.  I might be a crazy cat lady.  We have Pootie (also known as the white devil) who technically belongs to my youngest adult daughter.  She promised she would take care of...

I feel like an abusive jailor. We took in a stray tom.  He is lovely, affectionate and the most well-adjusted cat I have EVER met.  He is also FIV+.  We have other neutered male cats in the home.  It is my intention to introduce him to our resident cats but the introduction must be done...

In mid-June we took in a momma cat and her babies after she gave birth in my yard.  In late August she went into heat right before I got her fixed.  The windows were open because it was lovely outside and her scent brought a male around. He is definitely stray, dirty, starving and covered in...

We took in a stray 8 weeks ago. She gave birth in my yard and we were able to successfully capture mom and her kittens when the babies were about 24 hours old. I am not sure of her age but I am guessing about 2, maybe less. Mom is quite affectionate and lovely. She enjoys being pet and purrs...
