So sorry you're dealing with this issue. I've been there with several of my foster cats and my resident cat. A few weeks after we adopted Coco, she started peeing out of the box. I took her to the vet where she was cleared of any medical issues, so I started analyzing her litter and litter box...

My cats also love a rotating menu. In addition to their homemade food, they get a rotation of canned food from Orijens, Instinct and Tiki Cat After Dark, frozen raw from Stella & Chewy's and freeze dried raw from Instinct and Stella & Chewy's (photos attached). I don't feed them any kibble, and...

:yess: I got an extra tall pet gate (42” high) and I put it at the very top of the stairs which adds the extra height of the stair rise (7”) to that. I’ve seen our cats easily jump over the gate when set up on a flat entryway. But with the added stair height with the door partially closed behind...

Hi! I'm going through a similar situation. For over three years, my two cats (Coco 7, Harry 3) have loved each other, been so playful and affectionate toward one another. It was nothing but love and they never had any aggression issues. Until two weeks ago. A stray cat started showing up in our...

First, I would have the vet assess her condition to rule out any medical conditions. It could be food allergies, it could be a fungal infection, it could something else. To answer your question, yes, chicken and turkey are both poultry, so our one cat who's allergic doesn't get any chicken...

Does anyone have a quick trick for catching, grabbing and killing one flea from a kitten without bathing him in liquid detergent water? We just adopted one of our foster kittens. He went back to the shelter for neuter and came back today with fleas. We've given tons of flea baths for our...

Itchy ears which looked like recurring ear infection. Our cat would scratch them violently. We took her to a cat-only vet and she suspected food allergy, not ear infection. We did the elimination diet, and it worked. She only eats novel proteins - mostly Nature's Variety Instinct rabbit wet...

Hello all! We recently picked up three 4-week old foster kittens. One of them purrs non-stop and VERY loudly. I have had many foster kittens but none purred this loud and this much. It's sometimes unsettling. He also suckles a lot - my shirt, my neck, the blanket, his food bowl - which is an...

Wow, good to know! Sea grass never again!

Right. Note to self and everyone else... maybe research further before purchasing anything made of sea grass. We have two other cat trees and their posts are made of sisal rope, and no indication of mold on those. No mold on anything else around the house, even all the rattan baskets placed...

You're correct. That was Amazon's crappy description of it. I just googled it, and the material is actually "SEA GRASS." I wonder where it was sourced from.

We got the tree just after last Christmas when we moved into our newly built home. So not long at all. Windows are always closed as we have at least 1 Dyson air purifier tower going nonstop all day every day in each room. We have 10 total around the house. LA doesn't have a humidity problem but...

Thanks all for your response. I've left a message with the manufacturer of the Versa cat furniture (which is Catit). We'll see if they respond. The condo was sitting next to an open stair case. No water or moisture. We have another cat condo (different brand) next to where this moldy piece was...

Yep. Right after I took the photos we threw them in a bag and dumped them in the dumpster.

Our whole family, including cats, have been sneezing up a storm the past few weeks. The cats have been scratching their ears a lot and grooming themselves more than usual. We chalked it up to allergy season, kept all the windows closed and bought another Dyson air purifier which helped. None of...
