    Cat poop issue

    Thanks for the advice! She actually does have arthritis, I didn’t know that could contribute at all. I will bring it up with the vet!

    Cat poop issue

    Thank you! They are soft! When she finally goes it’s a normal poop. No food changes at all. Peeing normally, eating normally, acting normally. She actually got blood work recently and the vet said she had a few things a little off but she wasn’t too concerned yet. She is scheduled for a...

    Cat poop issue

    She gets a combo of grain free dry and fancy feast wet. She actually just got a check up/blood work and had a few values that were a little off but I guess the vet wasn’t too concerned about it.

    Cat poop issue

    Hey! So my 12 year old cat has always been great at using the litter box. But recently periodically she will squat around the room like she’s trying to poop and will squeeze out like one drop of poop, and then go to another part of the room and do it again. If I try to approach her she will...

    Explain your cat's name

    Curly’s name isn’t exactly the most creative cat name ever. She was born with a kink in her tail which makes it.... curly. To be fair I was eight when I named her.

    Hissing and growling after getting spayed?

    Hello! Today I brought in my foster cat and her kittens to be spayed. Before they were spayed, they were all sleeping together, playing together, and eating together without a problem. Mom cat was super affectionate. Now it’s been about seven hours since we got home and they are all growling and...

    Emergency vet?

    Hello, so about five days ago my cat started straining to poop wherever she could around the house. (Which is very unusual for her, she never goes to the bathroom outside the litterbox) nothing would come out, except for once in a while a single tiny drip or two of liquid poop. I usually give...

    Can cat litter cause lung problems?

    I was thinking today that inhaling that dust when dumping or scooping the cat litter probably isn’t very good for you. It probably doesn’t do much on an individual basis, but after years of having cats are there any health/lung issues associated with cat litter? Are cat owners more likely to get...

    Not eating before birth question

    I know it’s expected that pregnant cats stop eating leading up to giving birth, but the mama cat I’m fostering (first time fostering a pregnant cat) is supposed to give birth any day now and still has a strong appetite. Is that normal?

    How important is it to weigh kittens?

    We are fostering a pregnant mama cat who is due any day now. We got all of the supplies we’d need from the shelter, but don’t have a scale that can weigh in grams/ounces. That’s not something we can really get right now due to coronavirus unless we order online and pay a lot of money for express...

    Question about metacam

    My 10 year old cat was prescribed metacam for a week at a 1.5mg/ml concentration with 0.08ml per day. One of her ears is inflamed, and she has some arthritis. We have tried glucosamine for her arthritis, and it helped a bit but we wanted to see if something else could help as well. (Aka this...

    Can a cat live in a dorm room?

    I have been reading all of these comments from the beginning, and I apologize for not responding to all of the well constructed and thoughtful comments. I get overwhelmed sometimes with so much different information. I have a lot to think about, but I’m thinking she is coming with me. She is...

    Can a cat live in a dorm room?

    Hello I am going to college next year and my cat is a certified ESA so she would legally be able to go with me. I’m just worried that she would become depressed in a dorm room, which I am required to stay in my first year. Is a dorm room too small? My other option is not to go to a four year and...
