That is good advice. I will install a bird feeder outside of my window. Once the weather clears, I'll start leashing him again. Lately he's been a runner, so we will have to slowly retrain on leashing. I like the idea of special treat! I'll incorporate some of that so he knows it is time to...

I have not tried a cat wheel, but it is now on my radar! Do you have any brand recommendations?

We live in an area that is country-ish so I'm sure there are other animals that cross through our yard like raccoons and oppossums. When we have visited in the past, we do let him wander with supervision here and there, but it seems like it's an every day occurrence. This is fine, we take him...

Hi, yes! He's the only pet in the house and is well loved (and spoiled because he's the only one) and I moved back about 4 months ago and he really started showing these signs about 2 months ago. He still has the same brand food and litter. I have recently bought Feliway for him, but I'm not...

Context: I've had my Kirby for about 4 years now, it's always been just us with the exception of roommates for the first 2 years. We visit my parents every break (winter break/summer vacation etc). Recently, I graduated college, got a job, and moved back in with my parents. When I first got...

Thank you so much! These are wonderful solutions and I'll get in contact with my landlord. Hopefully something works out in my favor lol

I'm not sure if that is allowed since I do live on the second floor of my building, which is a hard to reach place. I will look into a pet stroller though, but I'm not sure how that would work since he has an aversion to his harness.

Lol, yes I'm unfortunately the poor sod, but he's been "out" on the balcony/catio and since my parents live in the countryside when I visit we let him "out" on our patio with supervision (it's outside but fenced off super well). I'm probably going to look into building a window perch and just...

Hey all! So recently (about 2 months now) I moved into a new apartment and my Kirby has been acting up! In my old apartment, we had a balcony and he was able to have supervised outside time and essentially a catio where he was able to lounge outside. A new change in life led us to have to move...

Thank you both, I forgot to follow up but the vet ensured that it was probably dirt in the eye. Thank you so much for checking in

Out of the blue, my Kirby's right eye just got watery and a droplet fell from it. I was wondering if there is anything I should be careful of because we have a vet appointment coming up in a couple of days. The liquid is clear but it's only one eye and I'm afraid he might have an infection. He's...

Not at all! I appreciate your frankness and honesty. Thank you so much

Aww, thank you so so much. I honestly have felt so alone through this whole debacle, but I'm so glad to have a community here to talk this through. You all are amazing. I appreciate you so much

Yes, I was told not to give him food before the visit. I was instructed by my vet to give him the probiotics in with his wet food (because that's all he can eat right now) but I do feel bad because he is currently taking 3 medications right now and i'm afraid it's overwhelming his little body...

Right!! I was so scared because I kept pressuring the vet to explain to me why this was happening because from what I heard neutering were supposed to be an easy procedure. I was told these 3 different things on each time i asked. It was either "his age" which is bullshit because he's only like...
