    Cat won’t stop spraying all over my stuff outside

    SPCA has paper collar downloads. Can you affix one to him to see if you can get in contact with the owners? If no one contacts you, he could be abandoned/stray and you can contact a rescue group to trap him...

    Featured Help! Vet wants to sedate my OA cat for nail trimming

    We would really need more information.... I would state that many members find Solensia a big quality of life improvement for an older cat. But what's the reason for a 7 year old to have it? Does she have arthritis? Is there someone in your community who could volunteer to help you with...

    Almost 7 month old kitten is already 10lbs

    No one can say for sure without assessing his body condition. Cats have individual metabolisms and activity levels. :) If you look at the chart and assess your cat, does he have hips? Can you feel his ribs easily? Does he have a small pouch on his tummy but not too much? If yes to all...

    Freeze dried food without water

    Definitely okay as long as you are keeping an eye on hydration. Just like dry food, the freeze dried food will absorb water in the tummy when eaten dry. Not usually an issue but each cat is an individual.

    Pure grey cat with a few long white hairs on the back of the neck

    Stress can also result in a few grey hairs. Calcifer was so stressed from his move from foster home to here that he developed a few, poor little guy. Just on his neck like that. He was born in that foster home and had a good easy life there. So of course a move and all by himself was a big...

    New Carrier and our adventure to get Calcifer into it

    He's still side eyeing the fan frequently but hes moving about on the main level again. He had some treats in the carrier today.

    Wet food portion

    Most things state 10 to 30 calories per pound depending on activity level and metabolism of the specific cat. You need to watch based on body condition. If he's under the age of 2, he may still be growing as well. So that could be why hes gaining weight, if his body condition looks good.

    Finding a Dry Food for Picky Cat

    The ones you have tried sound like they are all along the "grain free" trend. I'd suggest trying a regular food with either rice or oats as the fibre, rather than peas or legumes. Any dry food is highly processed, regardless of whether it is grain free, grain, low or high cost. You could...

    My kitten won’t eat breakfast

    Also please let us know if it's been hotter out. The day might be too hot for him to feel like eating. He might need a cooling mat 🤔

    Introduction next steps? Cats growling at each other?

    You're not going to know anything until there's some gated times. They were doing fine with the doors, so a little set back doesn't normally hope. Don't throw the towel in with one little bump. Just keep at what you're doing with the doors until you have the gate and that gives them more...

    New Carrier and our adventure to get Calcifer into it

    Ps. He is not scared of normal rotating fans and neither of the other two are even remotely nervous of the ceiling fan.

    New Carrier and our adventure to get Calcifer into it

    ...we installed a ceiling fan. Cal stayed through guests, the drill, everything yesterday. Ate in the carrier again (open). We turned the fan on, he casually left the room a bit later and then when he went to come back in, he realized it was moving and is terrified of it. So now we are...

    Cat surrender

    Nobel had deferred aggression at me once and it was from a neighbour's cat coming to our yard. I also had a hospital trip and antibiotics. We worked on his anxiety, and with the neighbours in keeping the cat out of our backyard and he never did this again.

    Neutered male humping female in heat?

    Caspers Human covered it. I'll just add that even if she is pregnant again, her spay will be able to move forward.

    things escalating with my senior, Milo...yowling/confusion?

    Some cats work hyperthyroidism have normal T4 levels (what the blood work tests for). There are some other tests for hyperthyroidism. Thyroid Hormone Testing in Cats | VCA Animal Hospitals The behaviour changes really do point to medical and not behavioural. Big change in personality and...
