    My cat likes to eat paper when she's hungry. Is this normal?

    Or at least safe? She's about 11 years old now. She usually does it as part of her routine to try to beg for food. It's 2.30pm now and I fed her half a can this morning at 8am. Thoughts? Advice?

    Roomie wants to feed cats raw, but I'm not sure.

    Hello! My roomie wants to feed the two cats he and his girlfriend share raw meat. From what I gather from the girlfriend, he had done this before. Spending about $200 a month in raw meat and leaving them out in portions for hours. His "plan" now is to lock them in the kennel with the raw food...

    My sweet, sweet Oscar...

      My dear, darling Oscar... I held you so close to me as you crossed the bridge. I cried on your soft fur as your still warm body laid limp in my arms.   In your last living moments, you laid on my lap as always; purring softly as I rubbed behind your ears and scritched under your chin.   I...

    Oscar's at it again

    Oscar's taken to wetting my bed again. Usually while I'm sleeping in it. I'm thinking it's inappropriate urination rather than marking since it's a rather sizeable puddle. He always does it near my legs for some reason. I have a litter box in my room for him to use that I ensure is always...

    Oscar seems to love the broth and jelly...

    ... but doesn't touch the actual bits. He goes at the food I just laid down for him and licks any of the broth/jelly (depending on which food I am feeding him) and just leaves the actual bits. He eats the bonito flakes I top his food with, but he's not eating the actual food. Needless to say...

    Oscar is really, really sick...

    Some of you may already know Oscar. He was a stray that was abandoned by his previous owners around May 2015. I adopted him just before it started snowing. He's been to the vet a few times since. He's FIV positive, FIP positive (we suspect it's clinical FIP, though I can't confirm it yet) and...

    Oscar's a real jerk when he's hungry.

    And he demands to be fed about every 4 hours. Recently, we've found out that Oscar has diabetes. The vet has told me to feed him twice daily before his shots. Each meal is about 66kcal. She's seen what I feed him and approved of it. However, Oscar is very unhappy about this change in his diet...

    Help! My cat is aggressive but not playful.

    Hello! I had made a post about my cat Oscar's eating habits in this thread. Since he hasn't been neutered yet, he has a habit of spraying everywhere. That will get more and more rare after the surgery. He does get very aggressive when hungry, though. He will claw and bite at my fingers, even...

    How do I feed my cat?

    Hello! A couple of weeks ago, I adopted a stray that has been living off my porch for a few months and named him Oscar. He's a ginger DMH and was very skinny when I brought him in! After several baths (and a professional grooming later when I couldn't get the mud out of his paws and tail), he's...
