Ok! So! I don't want to start celebrating just yet, but we tried eliminating dry food and chicken from their meals by switching them to a turkey canned food and it seems to have worked!! Consistent solid stools for the first time ever. (I'm not sure if it's the elimination of chicken or the...

(to clarify, he does like to be petted, and seeks out petting, but he consistently "playfully" bites fingers, which he doesn't seem to realize hurts, though I've discouraged him (yowling, saying "no!" Loudly, ignoring him after he does it)

It's a long-term thing, I think, though the looseness of the stools varies in intensity. Please no judgment, but do you think that Merry would suffer if Pippin were to leave? I thought about not having both anymore, but I realized recently that it's really just Pippin who's like this. Merry is...

Yep :/ we've tried several different foods, wet and dry, slowly transitioning the dry food, and it hasn't helped - or has even gotten worse with the change. The enzymtic cleaner hasn't helped, either.

Additionally, the location doesn't seem to matter much to him - he'll poop on the carpet, in the tub, on the floor, in the grass in the yard, and as mentioned, on the washing machine, apparently.

He also bites my fingers when I try to pet him and chews up my things and has caused hundreds of dollars worth of damages, and frankly he makes being a pet owner really unenjoyable. I wanted to give them a better life, but I didn't realize that it meant making my own life unhappy in the process 🙄

*live. Sigh. This website is really annoying to navigate on mobile.

My cat Pippin pretty consistently poops outside the litterbox - but sometimes he doesn't, so I think we're in the clear, only to find, like today, a huge gross puddle on and in my washing machine. We've taken him to the vet, nothin'. We've given anti-diarrheals. We've given probiotics, multiple...

The vet put him on antibiotics to see if we could get rid of the blood and mucus that I saw in his stool (which only happens occasionally, though he has had soft stools for as long as I've had him... About 2 months now). I haven't seen any since. I have tried trimming his rear (and he's a...

...until it's too late, and he's spread it everywhere. Hi! My cat, Merry, was born with back legs that aren't quite right. As a result, he walks and runs at a squat and can't jump quite as high as his brother. I've been told it doesn't hurt him. When he uses the litter box (or worse...
