    Neutered male spraying and now yowling

    Thank you for the responses! Outdoors is not an option, we live in a subdivision with a small yard and fairly busy street. I've been feeding a couple of ferals outside recently that I plan to trap and take to a rescue. He could possibly be smelling those, but the spraying behavior started...

    Neutered male spraying and now yowling

    Yes. The vet didn't find anything physically wrong. I have been reading the threads about Prozac helping the spraying issue, so I will discuss that with the vet.

    Neutered male spraying and now yowling

    I have a 7 yr old male that was neutered at a young age. He has begun spraying in some places, especially the sides of plastic storage storage boxes or trash cans. Now he has also started yowling at night, and aggravating two of our other cats (spayed females) by stalking them. I've taken him...

    Food suggestions for renal diet?

    Thanks for the links and suggestions. Mine sounds a lot like your picky cat, he may eat something the first time and stop. My vet only carries the Purina NF. They are fine with me ordering online, I just hate having to blindly order a case of something not knowing if he'll touch it. The vet...

    Food suggestions for renal diet?

    Starting a new thread since the new diagnosis. My picky eater senior kitty is confirmed to have kidney disease. They sent me home with Purina NF wet and dry, but he won't touch it. I know this is partly due to needing to get his toxins down. But is there another brand of food I could rotate...

    Picky eater losing weight! Any advice, supplements?

    An update on my picky eater. Thanks for all the suggestions! However we have found the problem. His blood work a few months ago was normal, but yesterday tests showed his kidney numbers have skyrocketed. The toxins are so high it is affecting his appetite and he could even have stomach...

    Picky eater losing weight! Any advice, supplements?

    He poops fine, I finally tweaked his megacolon meds to a combination that works. He hasn't been diagnosed with arthritis. Really I haven't suspected it until he started losing weight. Blood work done, nothing unusual. Had a dental in the fall and his teeth were fine. He acts hungry when I'm...

    How to tell if cat is constipated?

    That's good! I have five too, it's hard to tell who's doing what unless you separate them.

    How to tell if cat is constipated?

    How's your kitty doing? If they still haven't pooped, a little Miralax mixed in food helps. I have a cat with megacolon, so I'm VERY familiar with constipation issues. And I'm on constant poop watch!

    Picky eater losing weight! Any advice, supplements?

    I have an older cat who has normally been a big eater. He still is always the one waiting by the bowl when I feed them (free feed wet food several times a day), but lately he will eat just a few bites and walk away. It's to the point he is noticeably losing weight. He has been to the vet...

    Female cat suddenly becoming dominant

    I ordered one of the Feliway diffusers. Reading the reviews, I'm hoping this might help the aggression, as well as a few other issues that may be stress related ......the senior cat's random howling, and the 7 yr old male spraying (that has been neutered since a kitten!)

    Female cat suddenly becoming dominant

    I did try that first since she was due for shots. Nothing found out of the ordinary with a regular exam. Of course she was super sweet to all the techs, so their opinion is she does not have a physical/mental issue.
