Dental check-ups are the trickiest because it doesn't look like we have enough equipment/experience where I live to deal with dental problems or even cleaning. This worries me the most because my cat does seem to have poor teeth and bad breath. I will talk to the vet about it, see if there's...
I live in a small city in southern India and the veterinary care here, mainly for cats, is mostly sub par. I've tried different vets in my city and it's usually the same and I don't have much hope on finding a good vet. The one we currently consult seems like the best option and he does house...
Really long post, but please read through. I need help very badly.
Timeline: On Dec 11th night my cat stopped eating all of a sudden. She gets dry food twice a day at 5:15am and 11:30pm, and wet food at 11:30am and 5:30pm. So when I gave her night portion of dry food, she turned her nose up at...
I brush her very thoroughly every other day with the love glove (a different brand, but same concept). Do you think brushing her every day would stop her from doing this? She's done it one days she's been brushed as well.
I wouldn't be so worried if she was dust bathing in a more 'natural'...
I get that, but I was just... hoping for some reassurance that she would use it when needed, perhaps? Like I said, the box is placed in an area she wasn't allowed to go before. So I'm worried she won't KNOW she has another spot to pee or poop when needed - like when we are out of town or when...
Since the usual location is my small bedroom, I can't keep them together. There just isn't any space and the boxes are large. Also, I want one outside of my bedroom so that I have the option of closing and locking my bedroom door occasionally. Right now, my cat has 24/7 access to my bedroom...
You could buy/DIY one of those cat grooming brush arcs and see if your cats will use them and self groom.
If your cats won't let you use the furminator, you could try a grooming glove. Because you'd basically be just petting your cat, it could be easier. It has helped reduce a lot of fur flying...
I've started talking my cat on regular walks for 30 mins a day. We live in an apartment (1st floor) and there's a cellar (I believe is the right term?). It's open on all sides and used for vehicle parking. Surrounding that cellar is a concrete walkway with plants on trees on two sides. This is...
Every since we've had our cat she only had the one litter box I bought before bringing her home. For the most part she uses the box well and there aren't any real litter box issues. But I know it's a good idea for there to be 2 litter boxes, even if it's just one cat, so I got a new one. It's...
I live in India and the local pet stores don't provide a better selection. All that's available in my city is Royal Canin and Whiskas. I order Orijen off Amazon, though it's unavailable there now so order it from 'Jawsnpaws'. And from all the extensive reading I've done on cat dry food, it seems...
Definitely stress related, but you seem to be doing good. I'd only add: have a schedule for her, if doesn't have one already, and stick to it. That really helped my cat when she first came in, and like yours, started pulling her fur out. Lots of playtime too. Let her have safe spaces with her...
Aww... That's so cute. My cat does that a lot as well, just not every time. Obviously, you are very lucky to have such a loving cat. With my cat, I think it's a combination of her loving me the most and also being a social creature. She wants to be where everyone else is at. Even though we've...
Hi, guys. Thanks for your replies. It seems her tummy fixed itself. She's pooped twice and peed thrice today, at the times of the day she normally does. So I guess I don't need to give her Farmina (although I had a 0.3kg packet ordered, in case I had to). Now, she's still not cleaning her plate...
My auto-feeder came with the instruction that I should manually feed my cat in the feeder's bowl for a while until it becomes 'his' bowl. That is what I did and it worked. Have you tried that? Before getting a feeder was your cat fed on a regular schedule and at a specific spot? If so, try...
