    Hot water

    He’s been pretty calm since it happened, which I take as a good sign. He didn’t hide anywhere, just licked the water off. He didn’t get soaked, just a splash. I still don’t see any redness and definitely no blisters. I’ll continue to check periodically and be on the look out for anything unusual!

    Hot water

    It seems like it’s a first degree burn according to that. There’s no redness or blistering. I’ll keep an eye on it to be sure but hopefully it doesn’t develop further or anything

    Hot water

    I feel so horrible right now :( i was making mac and cheese and was going to drain the pasta. My cat tripped me up and some of the hot water sloshed out of the pot. It landed on his back leg/thigh area. I don’t really see redness or anything like blisters. He licked the water off but didn’t...

    Urinating issues…

    Also just want to say this is the first time he’s had trouble with peeing (except prior to being fixed he did spray a bit). He’s fixed now. Also slightly overweight. The amount he urinates seems like a normal amount (aka not little bursts here and there like a typical uti), no super strong scent...

    Urinating issues…

    Hi! Lately, we’ve been having trouble with our three year old cat. He’s been urinating on our carpet :( at first we thought maybe he didn’t like the litter boxes/too many cats were using them (we have four total) so we switched to the Breeze litter boxes which we like a lot better (the ones...

    Essential oils!

    Hi everyone! I recently have thought about starting candle making as a hobby. However, I’ve heard that essential oils can be harmful to cats. Is this ALL oils or just certain scents or if they’re used a certain way? The brand I’m looking at is Eternal Essence Oils on Amazon and I’d obviously...

    Trimming nails

    I think we are going to take the vet’s advice and have it removed as long as she can keep her fingers thumb lol. I’ll be calling to get a quote on the cost and hopefully schedule it. At first it horrified me because it sounds just like declawing which I’m 100% against but they assured me it...

    Trimming nails

    Hi everyone! I have a polydactyl cat who grows an extra nail between her toes and thumb (like between the pointer finger and thumb for a human). It tends to grow and curl in on itself, into her paw pad. Obviously this is uncomfortable for her. I want to learn how to trim this nail myself at...

    Allergies or something more…?

    I made a vet appointment for Thursday. I don’t get paid before then so that was the quickest I could get him in. The other three aren’t sneezing or anything and I haven’t heard him sneeze today but he still is getting eye boogers. He’s eating and acting normal, so I’m hoping it’s just allergies...

    Allergies or something more…?

    Since yesterday morning, my cat has been sneezing somewhat frequently. It slowed down this morning but he’s doing it again this evening. He’s also had eye boogers that I’ve had to get out of his eyes. Could this just be seasonal allergies or are these symptoms something more? He’s my only cat...

    Squinty eye/ointment

    He didn’t say what was wrong with his eye, only that there wasn’t a scratch and that his upper respiratory sounded good. The ointment is neomycin and polymyxin b sulfates and bacitracin zinc ophthalmic ointment (triple antibiotic ophthalmic ointment). So I’m just assuming he’s treating some type...

    Squinty eye/ointment

    Hi everyone! Recently our cat developed a squinty eye. It was watering and eventually forming some crusties. We took him to the vet and they said his heart and lungs sounded good, they also put some dye in his eye and didn’t see any scratches. They gave us some ointment to apply twice a day for...

    Different sized pupils

    So I know that different sized pupils are a sign of injury in cats. I just looked at my cat and could’ve sworn one of his pupils was a little bigger than the other but it was hard to tell. So my question is, is it noticeable when they’re different sizes? I looked at images on google and all of...

    Imitation vanilla

    Does anyone know if imitation vanilla is toxic to cats? I was making whipped cream and flavored it with imitation vanilla. Some got splattered on my toaster and one of my cats decided to help me clean it. The whole batch of cream had about 1.5 to 2 capfuls of vanilla and he licked up probably...

    Houseplants and cats

    just as I suspected, getting a type of cactus didn’t deter my cats at all lol. One of them took a chomp right out of the zebra cactus lol.
