    Opera shows in the basement

    I have a multi cat household. Since we rescued Skooma he would go into the basement and just yowl and sing his fool head off at night. We chalked it up to him being a feral cat and he has slowed down his Opera performances. However, Tormund has started screaming like he is on fire in the...

    Very unique face shape features

    Hi all, I just adopted two adorable kittens. However, the tabby and white one has some very unusual features.. He looks more like a kitsune mask, pointed and angular with very almond eyes, than any other kitten I've ever seen. It's hard getting a picture of him because he goes 100mph. His...

    I have a cat that was just diagnosed with idiopathic hypercalcemia. We were told to look for wet food with under 1% calcium, high protein, low carbs, moderate fat. But for the life of me I can't find calcium content anywhere online. We bought all sorts of different foods to entice her into...

    Cat howling at me when I go outside

    Hi all. I have a just turned 1 year old cat named Tormund. He is absolutely the sweetest and happiest boy I've ever had. I rescued him at about 12 weeks old.

    Years of vet visits with no answers

    So I'm a bit at my wits end with Athena's health right now. 6 years ago I found her on the side of the road with no hair and yellow scabs all over her. Initial visit said she had some type of allergic dermatitis, gave her a steroid shot, and her hair started to grow back. We've had this...

    Kitten Confused About Litter Boxes Not Being Every Box

    A couple of months ago I rescued a feral kitten. He is about 6 months now and neutered. He has had some problems with inappropriate urination. Usually peeing in anything plastic or box shaped (I think he is confused as to what a litter box vs any box is). He has also been gathering up his...

    Separation Anxiety, But Only Towards Me

    I have a 1.5 year old neutered Male I've had since he was 11 weeks old. He has other cats and dogs (he is bonded to one of the cats and one of the dogs) and my husband who isn't his favorite person, but he likes him well enough. When I leave the house for work, go to the store, or even to go...

    Hi. We have a neutered Male, 4 years old, that was reverting to a feral state from years spent on the street. I thought he could be a happy indoor cat so we decided to open our home to him 4 months ago. He was very scared and spent much of his time hiding and pulling his hair out. He has since...

    The Cat Pee Problem

    I have a new foster and it's really messing with my younger boy who is a bit dominant and a bit of a scardy cat at the same time. While they are separated, any time my youngest sees the foster, I end up with pee in my shoe. He has a clean bill of health, and the feliway difusers and my normal...

    Cat Dunking All Of His Toys In Water

    I have a 1 year old cat who constantly soaks all of his toys in the water bowl. I know some people say they store them in water bowls as a means to keep them safe. But he takes it right out and carries it to somewhere else once its soaked. He does this to all of his favorite toys. Never to ones...

    'feral' Cat Is Indoors

    Id like to give some happy news to the group. Thank you all for your suggestions on Skooma, and helping the community cats that were being poisoned.

    Relocating At Risk Community Cat

    My co worker lives in an area with many community cats that were a part of a TNR program. Unfortunately, not everyone is happy about these cats being there and has left a letter on everyone's door saying he was going to 'dispose' of the cats if no one did anything within a week. (We have no...

    Neutered Males And Humping

    Last night my 8 month little boy became a man...with my husband's leg. I've had several neutered males and while they would get excited if an intact female was around, I've never had one just hump things. He was neutered before I got him (12 weeks old) and is an indoor cat. While I actually...
