You must consider whether it is serious enough to see an emergency vet clinic. One of our kitties had an intermittent cough and was sneezing for several weeks and it was getting worse. We doctored for it but it was not getting better. We believe that the clay litter we had been using had some...

So happy for you. We too started our life with cats by a relationship with a feral. The sad part is that at any time they can disappear and you never know the reason. That happened to us and so we ended up adopting a shelter cat and now have three. I agree that The Cat Site is the best cat...

These could just be the openings of her anal scent glands. They are on each side of her anus. Is she rubbing her butt on the floor? Is there any visible soreness or blood or any signs of discomfort? You might just take her to a vets office and ask them to have a tech look at it to see if I am...

We have three long haired Ragdoll cats and keeping up with the fluff is a daily challenge. We love the Tineco A11 Hero EX cordless vacuum cleaner. The best thing is that it is very low noise in the standard cleaning mode. The cats don’t seem to mind. Amazon The Chom Chom roller furniture...

We have a Leewakia Ceramic Cat Water Fountain 71oz that we got on Amazon. It is the smallest ceramic fountain we could find. The bowl is 3 inches high and it is 4 inches or so in total height. Two cats will drink from the bubbling top but the third will only drink from the bowl. The downside to...

Has your kitty ever shown interest in drinking at the sink with the water running. That could be an indication that she finds the look and sound of running water appealing. Two of our kitty’s like to drink from a held Dixie cup while the tap is slowly flowing. Every night before bed!

We have seen color variations with Cloud Control from time to time. We have seen the brown color on occasion. I don’t think it is an issue. We use the regular, non platinum version. The platinum product had stronger scent that we felt caused our cat some eye irritation. We cleaned and changed...

Hello Clary, I don’t have an answer and am replying to show support. We adopted two kittens and they both ended up having similar types of viral infections right around the time of their first vaccinations. It was this time of year and the vet said that unfortunately it is very easy for them to...

On floppycats.com there is a review of a DNA test. I was mistaken, it is a cheek swab and not a blood test. 😁

Did the kitty come with papers? If not you could do a genetic blood test. In any case he looks adorable.

You mention that the kitten is being isolated in your master bedroom. If your resident cat normally spends time in there with you and if it regularly sleeps with you it could be a source of a lot of stress. We isolated in a spare bedroom/office. Cardboard on the door gap for a week. Started site...

I agree with Alldara. Hissing is perhaps more of an expression of displeasure than overt aggression. We integrated two kittens to a adult resident cat and although there was hissing through the gate there was no aggressive behavior and when we let the kittens out the adult cat hissed some but...

Nori Ragdoll Blue Bicolor 15 months old and 15 pounds of joy!

This is easy. They are called Adorable! He has a strong muzzle and what looks to be big ears, which he will grow into. He also looks to already be developing a chest main. My feeling is that he may have a strong helping of “big cat genes”. I bet he will be a fluffy, Bigga Boy when he grows up...

OXO Tot Mash Baby Food Mill We have found this to be indispensable in making canned food into a texture that our gravy loving kitties will eat. Small and easy to use. Plastic, with several parts to clean, but has been durable with 2 years of use. Works on all of the Fussie Cat that we use as an...
