    How to put a cat on a diet

    I'm aware about the pouch but I asked the vet and they said he really needs to get a bit lighter. I will try the kicker. Also been talking to a friend today about getting him a harness and training him to a leash to give him some outside time. We don't have a garden but a nice big lawn in front...

    How to put a cat on a diet

    Vet didn't say how much he should weigh, but from my own experience and guesstimates I'd say about 4-5kg. He's a pretty big boy, but he also got a big tummy. He's currently about 4-5 years old, no exact age because he's a rescue. I'm gonna see about the kicker, maybe I can make something myself...

    How to put a cat on a diet

    Greeting fellow cat-enthusiasts! Now it's actually been four weeks since Haku moved in with us in our comfy little apartment in Germany, after we adopted him from a rescue who picked him up from Bulgaria's streets. So far he's been doing good, slowly getting to know every corner of his new home...

    Which Choice of Cat Food is Best?

    I took a quick glance at the options and I think the 4health would be the best due to the lack of wheat, corn and soy. I'm not an expect though. Not really a big fan on dry food, when I buy it I make sure to get grain free with high % of actual meat. With the 4health I'm a bit iffy about the...

    Putting a collar on my cat

    Thanks for your interesting answers. As far as I'm concerned in german pet stores you only get those break-away collars for cats. I'm gonna watch him but so far he doesn't mind at all about the collar so I guess he's fine.

    Putting a collar on my cat

    Good morning fellow cat-enthusiasts! I'd like to hear your opinion on putting a collar on a cat. My cat Haku is an indoor cat, he is chipped but I still put on a collar on him, i guess it's more for the human's eye than for him. He doesn't seem to mind at all, putting it on was no problem...

    Scared he will not eat enough

    The rescue advised me to introduce him to the vet after 4 weeks of him living with us, so that'd be in about 2 weeks. They say the vet in Bulgaria had to remove his teeth due to them being in terrible condition, they basically got him from the streets and got him the full treatment. At the...

    Scared he will not eat enough

    Hello fellow cat-enthusiasts! About two weeks ago I adopted a lovely 5 year old rescue from Bulgaria we named Haku. Over the course of the last two weeks he got relatively attached to us, which makes me very happy. He comes cuddle and will sleep on the bed next to me. We adopted him from a...

    Very anxious and always hiding

    He used the litter box last night! I checked it this morning and he peed in it, twice. No additional poop I think, at least I didn't find any. I checked every corner but he also didn't poop on the ground, I feared he'd poop again in the hallway but the trash bag is gone. But no, he sees the...

    Very anxious and always hiding

    Dear lord he finally ate something. Got me a little worried but he was sitting under our bed (he moved to the bedroom i think because the living room was very warm) and started munching on the dry food that were lying under the bed (we dropped them there yesterday in hope to get him eating). My...

    Very anxious and always hiding

    Mayor breakthrough! He let me pet him, he was very comfy and purred, even booped my hand with his face to say "more please". I'm so happy right now. Even though he still doesn't want to leave his hiding spot, at least he's warming up to us some more.

    Very anxious and always hiding

    Actually just noticed that he in fact did poop last night. On the trashbag that was laying in the hallway with the pee pad and poop from his carrier box inside. I did take the scoop and placed the poop in the litter box to show him that this box filled with wood litter is in fact for pooping...

    Very anxious and always hiding

    Thanks for your reply! I put the food bowl next to his hiding spot, the litter box is on the other side of the room. We try our best to give him space. He seems a bit more calm (noticed him napping a bit and still returning our slow blinks). We talk to him but also make him get used to our...

    Very anxious and always hiding

    Good Evening fellow cat-lovers! Yesterday was finally the day! My little rescue cat from Bulgaria moved in, we named him Haku. But he is very anxious and keeps hiding. The moment the carrier box opened he ran out and searched for a hiding spot, quickly found it under our bed in the bedroom. I...
