I do not have a car so if I need to evacuate or some other kind of emergency, a backpack type carrier would be best. I am concerned about a mesh or soft backpack because she gets very anxious and I don’t want her to rip it if she starts trying to get out. I would prefer a hard shell that expands...

My cat has asthma and I have tried a few types of litter. For the first time ever, after seeing several vets, a new vet said clay is not good in general and recommended I switch to corn-based or yesterday's news, something other than clay. I currently use Purina Tidy Cats Free & Clean and find...

Also she will get 200mg of gaba and is 6.5lbs-ish. Idk if that's a lot for a little cat.

When my regular vet sent the referral she noted my cat will need sedation with dexdomitor on top of gaba

My cat is super fractious and gets so stressed out going to the vet. I have to give her gabapentin before and once the adrenalin hits it's like she's not on anything. It's like she's possessed. I have an hour car ride to the vet to get the CT scan and X-Rays, much longer than her normal vet...

I always know when my cat poops because she runs around the apartment like a crazy kitty. I thought it was just a quirky thing but I recently read it could mean the poop was uncomfortable or even painful. Her poop looks normal. Are poop zoomies normal? (I plan on asking the vet but curious of...

Sometimes they are so cute I hate to just toss them, but saving until next year doesn’t seem worth it, or sanitary (to put away something they’ve been chewing on…maybe this is just me?). At the same time, I don’t want to look at the Christmas pickle or Santa mouse in July.

I know this is from a while ago but what happened?

My cat is 8 and was diagnosed about 3 or so years ago by looking at x-rays. She had the coughing fits like she had a hair ball but nothing came out. She's currently taking prednisolone every other day and Flovent via inhaler 1-2x day. She still coughs sometimes 😿 I feel like I've tried...

May I ask what kind of litter you use? I'm considering trying a new litter for my asthmatic cat.

I am looking for a camera to keep an eye on my kitty when I'm away. Preferably with a treat dispenser and/or laser light. There are so many out there, I just don't know.

I second this. I try to play with my cat right before bed, give her a little snack, and get into bed while she’s eating it. When I get into bed I actually go to sleep, or at least pretend to sleep (no reading or watching TV or anything), so she knows we are done for the day. Eventually we got...

My cat actually likes red wine and will lick the drips on the side of the bottle if I don’t keep it away from her. She goes after it every time she sees the bottle. I have to hide it. Doesn’t go for white though. :lol: But she doesn’t seem impaired after so I think a tiny bit is not to worry...

Maya’s toys are in a plastic drawer at the moment. I guess it’s my bad, but I might forget about some toys that are in there. I think having a bin or something open might be better, but curious what others do. I have a small apartment so space is limited.

Curious to see your kitty highway! I think that would be a great idea and would be so good for her. I wish I had space to something like that for my Maya. She’s 7 and still keeps me on my toes.
