    Abyssinian coat?

    An Abyssinian kitten was abandoned at a local pet store and I adopted it, he's a very sweet boy and I already love him dearly but his coat is very stiff which I thought to be the opposite in Abyssinian cats. He is a blue Abyssinian, I don't know if that makes any difference, and he's about...

    Strange bites/scratches? (Should I see a vet?)

    That was my mindset for a while, but she is apartment hunting at this point because the apartment her and her SO were supposed to move to changed their terms, so I no longer have a definite time during which she will come to take her cat. I can't, in good conscience, give the cat to someone else...

    Strange bites/scratches? (Should I see a vet?)

    Okay, so to kick off, I began cat-sitting for a friend and now that cat has been with me a few months and lowkey is something of a weirdo. I know cats get overstimulated and the like, but I've never had a cat quite like this. Like, I don't understand her behavior at all anymore. The owner says...

    Lip abrasion?

    Should I be panicking? My big boy vomited this morning and then, later on in the day, I noticed his upper lip had what I thought might be a scratch on it, but it doesn't quite look like one. I also have this video that shows a couple different angles because he wouldn't stay still for more...

    Cat approaches, stares, then bites/claws me

    I've ordered some feliway spray to see if it'll help but IDK what's upsetting her. She is 8 years old, lil black female, spayed, all her shots, just a healthy lil gal. I just can't seem to figure her out. I made another thread before about her, I am cat sitting for a friend atm and she's been...

    Tail always going?

    Honestly, if she isn't reading as in pain, that is a relief! Like, I mainly got alarmed because the puffy fur and tail going are like usually indicators there is something hurting or bothering my cats, so seeing her like that had me concerned, but tbh if she is just a little oddball or a...

    Tail always going?

    I took a couple more videos of her this morning. One is of this little rolling thing she does whenever she cleans herself and the other is how she reacts to an over-the-head-down-the-back pet Rolling video Pets video So the tail injury occurred when she got her tail caught in my friend's...

    Tail always going?

    I added a second video to the main post, but yeah! I was thinking the same, I was gonna pitch her owner the idea that I might take her to a different one in my area because it seems a little disrespectful to take her without permission. But yeah, idk she seems to be a little odd to me too :C

    Tail always going?

    I have been given a small, 8 year old female cat, spayed, all her shots, healthy girl to watch for a couple months but I was told that she's broken her tail in the past so it's sensitive. That said, her tail NEVER stops moving. Like unless she is asleep, her tail is lashing. Like wagging one...

    Easily spooked kitty?

    I have two cats, one 10yo female and a 2yo male, both fixed. They get on well most of the time except when he has a whoole lot of energy and she can't keep up, but they play and cuddle and the like. The boyo, though, is very highly strung. He's loving, he'll come for pets and cuddles and then...

    Cat Doesn't Wanna Cuddle.

    So I have a male cat, he's really affectionate, but he like won't stay with me unless I'm petting him constantly. Like I can keep him in my lap for 15-20 min if I'm petting him, but the second I stop petting him, he jumps right out. My other cat will sit on my lap as long as she likes even if...

    Contest Share A Spooky Cat-related Anecdote To Win!

    ENTRY: This was about four years ago, when I was still living with the rest of my family in a big, family house at the edge of some woods. All the other members of my family had gone out to some party or whatever and intended to spend the night at a nearby relative's house after. I didn't want...

    Shaving A Longhair Cat?

    One of my longhair kitties' fur is really thick and lovely but she sheds SO much and while I brush her either daily or every other day, she's still shedding up a storm. She gets hairballs, her fur is everywhere--when I brush her she lets out like four brush-fulls of fur at least. It's crazy. She...
