Good suggestion - we haven't done this since prior to the pandemic, so it's definitely time!

Astragal - this is great info, thanks. How do you administer fish oil to your cats? Do you just put it in their food? This cat is a very picky eaters so sometimes it's hard getting him to supplement. Any supplements you could recommend would be great! Yup! He has watery, drippy eyes pretty...

It's not, which is perplexing. We have a/c and keep windows closed and change air filters often. Have HEPA air cleaners running 24/7. The only thing I can think of is dust, as our house does seem to generate a lot of dust. Thanks - this is kind of where I'm at too. The only time he ever open...

We have a 6 year old DSH neutered male who has on and off respiratory issues. He was a semi-feral now turned indoor cat and we don't know what his medical history was prior to the age of 2. He's had every test in the known universe and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him. But...

Hey there, we have dealt with this ourselves with two cats of similar temperaments to yours. We are much further down the road from you and these two cats have been living together for two years now. We've learned that chasing isn't really the problem. The question is what happens AFTER the...

Keep reintroducing them for short supervised periods a few times a day, and giving them high-reward treats like tuna water and churu when they are around each other. Initiate group play if possible. Hissing without fighting is okay. They are just redrawing boundaries with each other. It sounds...

Just chiming in here. I would also suspect a health issue, and a 20 minute exam isn't anywhere near enough to rule that out. Was bloodwork done? There should have been a follow up phone call from the vet to confirm results of labs if they did their jobs properly. I'd definitely be talking to...

We adopted this cat from the shelter when he was two. On bringing him home, he had a severe URI where he stopped eating, drinking or moving for about two weeks. We syringe fed and watered, did antibiotics, and he made a full recovery. Since then, he's always had eye drainage and been minorly...

We have three cats, and this involves our 3yo neutered male. This kitty was an outdoor cat the first year of his life, and we've struggled with transitioning him to being an indoor cat. After two years of indoor life, he still is clearly depressed and tries to run out the door any chance he...

I'm home all day, the cats get >90 minutes of active play a day, have every toy imaginable, a fully cattified house and multiple window bird feeders that are kept stocked with seed. I'm willing to try the catio but I'm worried we are going to spend 2-3k on something that doesn't do anything to...

We have two cats, both prior strays. One loves their lot as an indoor cat and despises the outside. But the other...the other yearns for it. We live in an area that has a very high coyote, owl and falcon population. Cats and small dogs disappear every day. A coyote climbed our neighbor's 7'...

Is your guest gone and she's still acting weird? If so, then I would definitely look to her health. But if the guest is still there, that's likely all it is. Maybe the guest has a dog or there's some smell on the guest that the cat associates negatively with.

Part of doing proper cat introductions is getting your resident cat 100% comfortable with what is going on when moving to the next step. This introduction has been rushed and your resident cat is stressed. I would suggest that you go backwards in introduction steps. Separate the cat and the...

We have two of the CatIt daisy fountains that we use without flower. Both cats took about a week to adapt and now they are champion drinkers.

You can move the litter tray all at once. Pick her up and place her in it so she knows where the new location is.
