    Cat jumps on me while I sleep

    I'm not awake enough to be coherent. I haven't actually slept in a week so I'm pasting this from a cat group I originally posted this on on fb. Apologies for the long post ahead. I'm very sorry if this is incoherent, I've just been woken out of a dead sleep after a week of not getting enough...

    Fur Loss And Excessive Grooming

    Well, I'll be dipped! I picked up chamomile today, along with a calming collar. I braced myself for what I thought would be a battle of a grooming, bu he was surprisingly chill about it. He even purred as I applied the liquid. Usually, he runs whenever I try to put anything on him. He's still...

    Fur Loss And Excessive Grooming

    You didn't come across as harsh at all. I had realized that I explained the situation poorly because I was rather anxious about it all. Thank you for your advice, I will be looking for calming products tonight and grabbing chamomile asap :) I actually need to follow up with Banfield (I have to...

    Fur Loss And Excessive Grooming

    I actually tried rabbit a few months back. Some sort of rabbit with no grains. It ended up tearing his stomach up. I stuck with it because people said that sometimes it would give their kitties the squirts no matter how slowly they transitioned and that it would eventually even out. His itching...

    Fur Loss And Excessive Grooming

    I'm sort of grappling with ADHD, so my perception of time is really screwy, but yeah, it has been more than 9 months for sure. I suppose that seems recent to me though it is logically not recent. I apologize if that came off poorly. I meant that it was the same in being those places. His paws...

    Fur Loss And Excessive Grooming

    Hello all My cat, Gigi (Male, neutered, 2 1/2 years old, indoor only, domestic shorthair) has been dealing with something strange for a while now. Every vet I go to always says something different. He's loosing his fur to overgrooming. Not just calm overgrooming, frantic overgrooming. Almost...

    Gigi- The Floor Sh*tter

    I'll try my best to get him there. I'm going to look into any programs that might help with billing. My poor baby

    Gigi- The Floor Sh*tter

    It was slightly runny before because he was eating wet food only for two days (we were waiting for the new food). My partner is telling me that it has been runny since the new food, but not consistently (he says that sometimes it will be solid, but it's mostly just liquid when he goes...

    Gigi- The Floor Sh*tter

    I started giving it to him, and the vet said it was okay, but it doesn't seem to help much? And I think it also gave him sores on his tongue. I'm starting to wonder if his allergy is actually anxiety or something else?

    Gigi- The Floor Sh*tter

    I've asked them, but they told me no despite telling me yes before (which was the whole reason I went to them in the first place).

    Gigi- The Floor Sh*tter

    The FAQ of the food said that it would change their color and make it very very stinky. The food is very dark in color (which they said was also normal) Yes, that is why he's wearing the cone. He has given himself sores before from overgrooming. I'm trying everything I can to try and figure out...

    Gigi- The Floor Sh*tter

    He was avoiding the box before, but I'm not sure if that was his own choice or if he was mirroring his brother (who was unahppy with the new litter). Now it's just Gigi. The vet did not tell me what his allergy was. She dismissed the test after telling me it would be expensive. He has ear...

    Gigi- The Floor Sh*tter

    Thank you for this. I will try that. I need to take him to the vet because of his allergy stuff, but I've recently fallen on hard times so money is a bit tight. Sometimes I feel like such a bad pet parent. Once his calming spray arrives, I'll order another box. Until then I'll try the pads

    Gigi- The Floor Sh*tter

    My cat has been having some recent problems. No matter how clean his box is, he will shit in the floor. For background: -He wears a cone because of his overgrooming and had been wearing it for a while. He used to go in the box with it on (I have removed the lid) -We're using his favorite litter...
