My Carlton resembles and acts very much like a Bombay cat! He is vocal, playful, affectionate, and very dependent. I adopted him a few months ago, and have very little information regarding his previous owner. This is why my ENTRY is needed- as I would love to determine if he is a bombay!

Hi all, My cat recently had his second monthly dose of frontline flea/tick medicine behind his neck and once I gave it this past Saturday, he immediately began trying to lick off every bit of it that he could reach and scratch. Just for some background, again this was the second dose I gave...

I will certainly not look into that brand then. Thank you. My vet recommended blue buffalo (which I’m giving my cat now) and natural balance. But, I would like to try some more, as he is not super into most of the flavors of tried, in those brands.

Thank you all for your suggestions! I definitely want to slowly transition him to just wet food. I usually put out maybe a little over a spoon full (not much) three times per day for him. So for a smaller can that’s 3 oz. maybe 1/4 ? Or less- not good with math lol. I’ll keep introducing and see...

I’ve recently been reading a lot about how a wet or raw food only diet is the most optimal for cats, and am thinking of switching my cat to a wet food only diet. He is a picky eater, and normally eats more of his dry than wet. This could possibly be because he may have only been given dry food...

Thank you:)! As is yours! I think the best thing to do is start young, if you can, like you've said. He will most likely be fine once he is used to that. You can also spray feliway spray in his carrier to help calm him prior to taking him anywhere.

Hi Wenda! I think it may just depend on the cat and their personality. My cat, for example, is very adaptable, and I often bring him with me when I’m going on weekend trips to see my parents or staying at my boyfriends house for more than one night. He isn’t a huge fan of riding in the car in...

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond :)! Not happy to hear your babies have had to go through that, but pleased to know they recovered quickly and were able to eat dry food soon. The closest dental specialist according to that website (thanks for sending this- I did not know this was...

I agree- maybe she was just being overly cautious? I’m a first time cat owner, so I honestly have no idea myself but glad I can ask people here so thank you for your feedback :) makes me happy to hear he may be okay with gentle play after a few days/maybe not the entire two weeks. His kibble is...

Hi all! My newly adopted cat, Carlton, needs to have some pretty heavy dental work done (cleaning and multiple extractions). I am worried because not only is he super playful and my vet said he won’t be able to play with toys for at least two weeks following the procedure, but also because she...

Thanks for your response! Luckily, that behavior just lasted the first night. Sometimes he'll still wake me up early in the AM with meows, but that's totally fine as long as I can at least sleep through the night lol . Right now, I'm just feeding him wet food as per my vet because he's having...

Hi all, So I just took home my new cat, after having to give my previously adopted cat back to her foster as she wasn't adjusting well,and the foster felt she would do better with other cats (slightly annoyed that I found out much more of this sort of info after adopting her, but at least she...

Hi all, I have good and bad news regarding my previous post. The bad news is, Daisy’s foster felt she would be best back with her, with her cats, as she was not adjusting well being my one and only. The good news is, I will be bringing home a cat this week who is extremely outgoing and...

Hi Jackie, Thanks for your input!!! I am happy to hear your new kitty is starting to adjust and is now cuddling:) I am looking forward to getting there with my cat, too. She was in a foster home for almost a year and was well adjusted after a little while, so I'm sure that is making it a bit...

Hi Lari, Thanks so much for your response! Hearing your story makes me feel a lot better. I'm going to try the sock suggestion (lol) soon to see if that helps. I am definitely getting inpatient, but will try to stop showing that to her by trying to pet her/interact with her. Thanks again...
