Hi everyone
My cat Whiskey is a 9yo neutered male. I’ve had him for 7.5years. He’s had asthma when I adopted him that spontaneously resolved about 3 years ago. He was on flovent for asthma from 2016 to 2020. No meds since then except occasional flee preventatives. He is an indoor cat but we...
My cat Whiskey started to refuse to eat FF pates during the last 3-4 weeks, even his favorite flavor “tender liver & chicken”. I thought he just got tired of FF but now reading this thread - it makes much more sense. The reason I started looking for similar experiences from others is that...
I’m not a vet, but ears as well as nose and paws are areas that help kitty regulate his body temp. You said there is no signs of him being sick and he is playing a lot he is probably hot from all activities. My cat’s ears get warm and then get cool. If he runs around like crazy for half hour his...

If mama cat doesn’t accept him you can use rubber hot water bottle or even regular plastic bottle filled with hot water and wrapped in a towel. Place it in kittens nest under blankets. Just a thought.
It took me about 2 months to get my cat to like brushing, now he wants to be brushed all the time :kneading: I took it slowly, brushed him when he was relaxed and calm, limiting sessions to only few minutes at a time at first, bribed him with treats. Alternating brush strokes with pets also...
Hi, to get rid of smoke smell saturate a towel with slightly diluted white vinegar (like half water half vinegar) and swing it around in the air, should eat all the smell up or at least make it better. Bring the cat into the room with the best air flow and try to keep her/him there for a while...
Hi, congrats on new kitten! :happycat: Good thinking on getting her to the vet! You can call the vet first and ask about your kitten’s symptoms as well as if you should bring the stool sample with you. Hair in poop is usually normal, they groom themselves and ingest hair which is not digested...
