If I were to guess, I'd say that your cat more than likely had some kind of problem that went undetected. This happens all the time. A cat can seem fine and then all of a sudden, symptoms arise that surprise us. The supplement, even in a higher dose than warranted, probably wasn't the reason...
I have to agree with the others that this certainly isn't normal for a feral cat to kill another. Coyotes, on the other-hand, are known to boldly kill cats as well as dogs. We had an incident near where I live of a fellow walking with two of his dogs in the woods and a coyote came up from the...
I can't even imagine how you are feeling right now. What a horrible reality! My only suggestion is to keep your other cat indoors. When I had cats that went outdoors, I had a rule that if I weren't going to be at home even for a short period of time, I would call the cat/cats and they would...
You've received some excellent advice and comments here and all are definitely worth consideration. May I suggest if you are going to go through a shelter that you think about getting a black cat/kitten. They are often the last ones considered and yet, I've never met a black cat I didn't...
Sorry, forgot to mention...Presently have three cats living with us...The old male white and black long haired and another older cat (beautiful female grey tabby, also long hair). The third is my sweet kitten, Lily who is a short haired black sweetheart. The old fellow and my Lily get along...
In my humble opinion, it doesn't matter. I've had multiple cats living with dogs and I've found that the sex doesn't matter assuming all are fixed. I had 6 cats living together peacefully...3 male and 3 female. The first 4 were acquired within the same year. First a male long haired black...
No matter what her background, she is beautiful...just like my little girl... I must post some recent pictures of Lily assuming I can get out from under the Christmas tree...Her new favourite spot!
Jupiter is gorgeous!!!!
Some kittens have times where they simple seem to go nuts and run around like mad fools, as you probably already know having had a cat before. Having said that, a trip to the vet to ease your mind wouldn't be a bad idea. My daughter had an overweight cat and when he...
Oh it definitely was Bach's and back when we had the problem with our cat (about ten years ago), we weren't aware that we couldn't give it by dropper directly into the cat's mouth. There were no instructions on the packaging other than for adults and our vet didn't tell us otherwise. Our...
I had a similar problem with an old cat. He wasn't as possessive when he was young, it was when he got old and actually got dementia. We tried everything starting with Rescue Remedy. I have to tell you, this does work for some cats but it did absolutely nothing for mine. It got to the point...
That is very noble of you Ibiscribe. When going for a pair of kittens, generally, if you are getting them from a rescue, they will tell you which ones have bonded together which will make it easier to make the right choice for what you are looking for. Just because two cats are rescued at the...
It has been my experience that some cats prefer to be the only one and others like to have another cat or even a dog companion.
If you are considering a kitten and only want one, then just get one. Play with it in a kind gentle way. Give it lots of love and you will get it in return. If you...
I'm new here and for me, I guess I find it surprising that one would not come to the forum for advice first, before hitting, nose popping or using Tabasco on their cat's tongue. I joined because I thought it would be fun to be involved in a site that was dedicated to people who love cats like I...
