Another update. I always wonder “what happened in the end”’when I read posts like this so providing another update. Heck, I’m not sure anyone who helped the first time is still here but in case this helps others who are reading this post in now and in the future. My aggressive cat, Rudy, was...

Remember to check your local shelter pages everyday. They usually have daily intakes listed. Also, many communities have Lost & Found Pets of “insert name of town, community, county etc”. Post on there as well There are also many chapters of “Community Cats of (insert town,county etc community...

Two stories: 1. Cat #1 didn’t come back because neighborhood strays kept her away from yard after chasing her out BUT. she wasn’t far, a neighbor across the street spotted her and I was able to trap her. 2. Cat #2 ran out front door when visiting friends left it open. He eventually ran back...

I had this problem with our 4 cats this Fall! what a nightmare. DO NOT IGNORE AND HOPE THEY GO AWAY, THEY WON'T! You need to kill the adult fleas before they lay eggs (flea treatment, we used Revolution). Once eggs are laid, they will fall into your carpet or anything with material and they...

OH, I feel your pain. I had a cat last Spring with a blockage (you can read my posts from last March? on here). Turns out it was stressed induced. I honestly thought he had adapted to living with us and our other cats after his owner passed away and he was left alone in the house for a month...

Happy Spring! Another update in case anyone wants to read the ongoing trials of an aggressive (formerly) cat. A cat I inherited about one year ago due to a death in the family and the saga of him attacking me that sent me to the ER and his continuous attacking of another one my other cats...

Just thought I’d post: a quick update. My formerly super aggressive cat has chilled immensely. I feel somewhat foolish for never realizing the amount of trauma his life has consisted of and thinking he was okay so soon after coming in our lives. It really is sad knowing he doesn’t know how to...

Aw, thanks. I also should mention that in addition to the medicine, I read the advice everyone gave. I did start him over with no access to other cats, his own room, his own feeding area, adding another litter box (we have 2 more than the # of cats we have), more playtime (he doesn’t play with...

Thank you so much to everyone who responded. I apologize for the long delay in responding, it’s been a heck of a month. So the cat bite sent me to the ER. I had called our local healthline who scared the bejeezus out of me about cat bites. Of course, I also “googled” and freaked, esp...

Hello, I know there have been a lot of aggressive cat posts and I tried to read through them but still feel at a loss. We inherited an approx. 8yo male (neutered) cat from my hubby's grandmother after she passed away. Grandma got Rudy as a small kitten and Rudy lived with two small...

I have a cat that has this problem as well. Usually hard little balls, but occasionally really icky stuff :0 He is also tail-less, whether by birth or accident I'm not sure. He was found in the woods when very small. A vet told me that he may not have proper nerves "back there" and can't...

I don’t know a lot about it but our newest cat, Rudy, had the same. I do believe his was 100% stress induced, due to his owner (our grandmother) dying in her home unexpectedly, him most likely seeing her body for a bit, and then living there almost a month alone (someone did feed him) while my...

Thank you everyone for the kind words and encouragement. Bandit crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday. Our vet was kind enough to let me come in the office and be with him, even during this pandemic. Bandit’s normal tech was there as well. It was very peaceful, but I’d be lying if I said I...

Thanks everyone for your responses. Grea thoughts and echoing what I know in my heart, sometimes just need to hear it from others I guess. The downturn was so, so fast I think I am in shock as I thought, even last week, he might make it thru late summer. He woke from his stupor last night...

Today has been rough. I’m not sure this belongs here but..... My old man, Bandit, 18 yo, was diagnosed with the beginnings of kidney disease last November. Our vet recommended a course of renal food, B12 and sub-q to get ahead of it. Bandit really wasn’t showing any signs of anything wrong...
