I actually just did it once and gave it a few days and that was enough for me I didn't want to put too much on her

I have a long haired semi feral cat and there is no way she would allow me to brush her. I had read that olive oil applied to mats help to eliminate them and isn't dangerous if they lick it. So I took a syringe filled with olive oil and squirt it on her mats while she was eating because I was...

I had a rough time introducing my first cat to the others as well and to be honest it took a good couple of months. My first cat acted as if he was possessed and in desperate need of an exorcism, he was lashing out at everyone not even just the new cats, but slowly it finally got better and now...

Thank you for the article. From what I gather a lot of these diseases progress quickly once symptoms begin which was why I was interested in doing a blood test in a couple of weeks for peace of mind and potentially catch something early but they're saying they don't do that which I guess is...

I totally understand waiting for a little bit first to allow things to show up but they tried to tell me that illness from ticks is rare and they don't test for it which didn't sound right to me. The tick did not look engorged from what I could tell it still looked pretty flat. The head was...

Hi all, I found a tick embedded in my cats neck. He is indoor only and am guessing he picked it up from the Christmas tree. I brought him to the vet and they said they got it out and gave him an antibiotic. I told them I wanted to have a blood panel done to check for tick Bourne illness but...

Thats crazy I guess you always have to do your research thank you for your feedback!

Thank you I think I equated the price of hills as being a better food but I was leaning towards the purina

They eat primarily wet but I give them dry at night they seem to like the variety

Any opinions on Hills Science Diet perfect weight dry cat food? I know chicken is the first ingredient but it seems to have a lot of fillers after that. I was looking into the purina naturals dry food which seemed to have more natural ingredients listed first. Any thoughts are much appreciated

You don't by any chance have cat nip toys laying around? I had a similar experience and my friend asked me that same question and I did in fact have a cat nip pouch on the floor and when I removed it the one that was acting like a psycho went back to his old self but he seemed possessed for a while

I agree with the suggestion above I believe that my cats having some down time to be alone and decompress helped them get acclimated. As far as your concern about not being able to handle your cats if needed to bring them to the vet, I have one who I cannot touch at all but I leave her carrier...

I am sure they will come to appreciate all the work you are doing to give them a safe and loving home! :redheartpump: I did work with my mama cat for a while before reintroducing the babies, but that was kind of accidental. I regret keeping the babies and the mama totally separate because I...

Hi Koda, I am by no means a cat expert but I saw your post and I have a very similar story. Don't give up! I have gotten a lot of good advice and encouragement on this site. Like you, I had a mom and babies pick my yard as their home. The mom had been coming around for a couple of weeks and I...

Well one of my cats is very particular about things and even though I tried to switch over gradually he expressed his dislike for the new litter by pooping on the couch ☹ i switched back to the original litter and he's back to pooping in his box so I guess that is we will be sticking with our...
