    My Morning Monster is Driving Me Insane.

    The automatic feeders are set to go every 4 hours. For example: 12am, 4:30am, 8am, 12pm, etc. He only gets wet food once a day in the morning. If he's peed on the bed, than I clean that before addressing the wet food. I try not to reinforce the behavior as best as possible.

    My Morning Monster is Driving Me Insane.

    I have a household of 6 cats, and one of those is a 3-year old handsome grey dilute named Nimbus. He is an absolute monster for wet food in the morning and it's causing me sleep deprivation. Nimbus will show up on my bed by 4am wailing for food and checking to see if I'm awake. This has...

    Cat Marking Bed

    That’s a good idea! He doesn’t sleep on the bed at night. But, he does come lay with me. He likes to sleep under my legs if I’m watching a movie. I’ve been researching waterproof blankets today as well. Thought about getting a cover to protect my sheets.

    Cat Marking Bed

    hey! Yes.The litter boxes are all top entry and in different rooms. One is in line sight of the bed in my bathroom. A couple in the guest bedroom with their food. There is a gate so my dog is restricted from that room. It’s only for the cats. And a couple more in our other bathroom. I have one...

    Cat Marking Bed

    He’s done it while I’m on the bed and not. When I’m not on the bed, he pees exactly where I lay. It’s like he’s sending a message. I only thought separation anxiety because there were a couple days I was home and then returned to work. While, I was home everything was fine. Then he started back...

    Cat Marking Bed

    Hey everyone, I am so frustrated. I have a 2 year old cat who is marking my bed repeatedly. He has been checked out by the vet and no signs of a UTI. (She did remark his bladder was small.) I feel like I am doing all the “right” things and this still continues. I am really not sure what I am...

    Next Steps in Socializing

    so, I had to just come here and tell you what happened this weekend. I’ve been giving the girls access to my bedroom while I’m home during the weekends. Well, I guess they know how to jump a gate now. Because, their Mom strolled into the living room in all her Calico glory like she owned the...

    Next Steps in Socializing

    Earlier this year, I took in two feral cats that I had been feeding and caring for. (They are the mother + sister to two boys that I own. Long story.) The girls and I have made significant progress. They have a setup in the guest bedroom right now with a cat tree, litter box, food, water, etc...

    Should we take the Stray/Feral Cat when we move

    Some days will be better than others. Just remember to give each other space + grace. All their actions are rooted in fear and will slowly get better over time. The two girls posted up in my guest bedroom have been very difficult some days. I just take a breather and we try again. The progress...

    Questions About Supplements/Probiotics to Help Chronic GI Issues

    I put in 1/3 of a cup in a huge bowl full of his GI formula to start. His stomach is just incredibly sensitive. I hope it's as simple as gut flora. He was 4 months old when he came inside in September. Was diagnosed with Giardia around December/January. Part of me wonders about intestinal...

    Questions About Supplements/Probiotics to Help Chronic GI Issues

    He's fine right now! That prescription diet works for him. So, that is the big reason why I am so reluctanct to switch him to anything else right now. Also, because we just don't have a name for whatever is wrong with him. His GI panel was totally fine. But, if it was something like IBD then I...

    Questions About Supplements/Probiotics to Help Chronic GI Issues

    Yeah, RC is having a shortage and we had a winter storm here in Texas. So I tried normal kibble because I couldn't find his GI formula last month and he was pooping gray. As soon as I got him back on RC, he was fine. It's so weird. His GI panel said that everything is working properly. So it's a...

    Questions About Supplements/Probiotics to Help Chronic GI Issues

    To answer a couple of your questions - we have run a GI panel via Texas A&M and it was perfectly normal. The only thing that hasn't been done at this point is the Ultrasound. Right now because he's not having diarrhea - he gets one a day.

    Questions About Supplements/Probiotics to Help Chronic GI Issues

    Royal Canin GI formula for the last 3-4 months now. Like I said, it's been the only thing that has worked for him. I wish I had some idea why.
