I don’t think it’s residue - I bathed her today because she had poop on her leg but the markings are still there. Her fur there is white.

I wondered that because I truly can’t remember if the skin on her belly was originally pink or if it had those colors but the fur on her belly is white, so I assumed her skin on her belly should be pink.

My 2 year-old cat has had discoloration on her belly for the past 3 weeks and I’m hoping someone can help identify the cause. It started after my cat came home from surgery (for intestinal blockage). For a week after the procedure, she was required to wear a dressing (which looked like a large...

Good to know, thank you!

I found a tick crawling around on my cat today, around his neck. I killed it and no blood came out. It was flat (see photo). I used revolution plus until recently, when I changed to broadline (rev plus is not available in my country). I applied broadline only about 3 weeks ago so my cats werent...

That sounds like a good idea, I’ll bring up lawyer when I call them next time. Unfortunately, any laws here that purportedly protect animal rights is superficial and just for appearances. There is no such thing as animal rights. But I know there are organizations fighting for animal rights so I...

Thank you for the suggestions. A nearby vet is visiting today to take their blood samples for the rabies titer (the titer takes 2-3 days here, hence why I said my cats will be released Monday). I’ll ask him to do a checkup and IV if necessary. In fact, I was able to get permission to visit again...

I flew to korea with my three cats on Tuesday. It was a sudden and unavoidable move (probably permanent) and I didnt have time to get their rabies titer results, which meant they’d have to be taken to a gov facility for quarantining upon arrival in korea. I briefly saw them at the airport in...

Thank you for this. The licked wet finger trick sounds fascinating - I’ll try it next time. I really do hope things get better.

Noted - we’re actually at the vet right now to get travel certificates (we are moving).

I realized I never posted photos of my beautiful cats on this site! Here’s Mochi (lazy boy), Tuna (princess) and Tofu (the devil).

Will do!

Didn’t see this for a couple days - just replied to your DM!

I have two cat wheels but he does not use them.

A while back, I adopted two DSH cats - a 3 yr old male and 2 yr old female. The female always wants to play but the male is very laid back and calm. Feeling bad for my female DSH, I recently bought a bengal kitten to be her play partner. The bengal is an 8 month old male. All cats are...

I understand the frustration but scaring your cat will ultimately take you a step back, not forward. My cat used to have an awful food sensitivity and would get diarrhea almost every day when she was a kitten (lasted several weeks while we ruled out parasites and other health problems). During...

What is it with vets and toys? My vet gave my cat a different mouse toy and both my cats have played with it so much I had to restuff it and sew it back together. Many mouse toys later, I still havent found a mouse toy good enough to replace the one that’s falling apart.

My cat who loves the spring toys also is obsessed with q-tips, stoppers from starbucks, the handles cut off of paper shopping bags, and both my cats ESPECIALLY love slapping around these fluffy toys (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08S748JXQ/?tag=thecatsite ). Of course, some of these things...

Okay, my cats are still young but I was worried it would be bad for them in the long run as they get older. Sounds like no one has seen this become an issue in their cats, which is good to hear :)

Hi, I have two cats who will not run after toys during playtime but love jumping to catch them. This means about 30min-1 hour of intense jumping every day for each cat. Can this affect their joint/bone health?
