Hello everyone, I haven’t posted on here in a couple of years but I’m hoping some of you could provide some advice for me. I have two male cats, they’re 5 & 4 ish. Happy as can be and get along great. I live with my mother, and that’s where they have lived their whole lives but they are very...

It’s hard to say about the urine amount, and I think I might just be being paranoid. I have 3 litter boxes in the house, and they only use one 😩 I scoop 2-3x a day and I’d usually get 5 clumps a day I think, but that’s with 2 cats. One being a big guy, who eats a lot of wet food and drinks a...

As far as stress goes I find it hard to believe that’s what would have caused this although who is to say? As I’m typing this he is bouncing off the walls with one of his rattle toys. I have many cat trees, a wall in my house that has custom cat shelves covering it, bird feeders in windows...

I’ve got 2 water bowls out and 2 water fountains. Unfortunately he’s always preferred dry food and as “high quality” as the brand is I was feeding him it’s still dry food. You name the brand of wet and I’ve tried it. Before this incident I would leave dry food out all day (now I leave the royal...

Hello all, Last week I posted about my sweet baby Simon who seemingly overnight developed FIC. Initially he was put on antibiotics bc his urine showed the start of an infection and an anti inflammatory, he finished those and when things still weren’t completely better he was taken back in...

Good idea! I’ll call them tomorrow morning to have them do that. I usually ask them to do right away if I’m ever at a vet different than their usual, but forgot this time.

Thank you! I bought the feliway spray and that actually just came in the mail so hopefully that helps him some. I bought a new water fountain too that should be here any day now. Good idea about the bird watching! I’ll turn that on the tv when working to see if he likes it, he watches the birds...

Do you have lysine? I would suggest just trying that at the very least as it wouldn’t hurt. If she’ll eat the treats those are easy to give, if not there is powder you can mix in wet food. One of my cats was bottle raised as well and developed symptoms like you described after one of his first...

How to Help Kittens with Ringworm — Kitten Lady Ringworm can be a real pain in the butt, idk if you’ve heard of her but Kitten lady has a great article and YouTube video all about getting rid of ringworm that I’ve linked above. This article is specifically talking about kittens, but I would...

Hello everyone, I don’t think I’ve posted on here since Simon was a kitten and I’m sad that my first post back is going to be like this but just looking for any advice I can get. On 12/18 Simon started repeatedly using his litter box only peeing a small drop or two at a time. Other than this...

My kitty is on Pregabalin for his hyperesthesia and it has seemed to help. My vet has to call it in to our local pharmacy because he doesn’t have it and they compound it into a liquid. It was about $22 dollars but its suppose to last about 2 months. He also has had zero side effects from it...

Thank you guys, I will ask my vet about the consult. Before these other symptoms started I was convinced it truly was just stand alone hyperesthesia. In fact I didn't know that hyperesthesia could even be a symptom of something else until my vet mentioned that it is a clinical sign of...

Hello everyone, I'm going to apologize in advance for how long I know this will be. My cat is suffering from a mystery illness that my vet can't figure out. Quick background, I have an 8 month old male cat named Norman. Indoor only, neutered, up to date on vaccines, tested negative for FeLV...

I carry him out and I carry him back in. I took him out again today for about 45 minutes while I drank my coffee. When I brought him back in the house he only meowed for maybe a minute! I think maybe he just loved it so much he wanted back out yesterday, if he realizes it happens frequently my...

Hi everyone! It was so nice today and I decided what a perfect first day to take Simon out on his harness around our yard.. omg he loved it!!! We have a really big yard in a quiet area and he just took to it right away and was so comfortable out there. He’s never been a door darter, he sits...
