Hey all, Its been a long time since i wrote on here. My beloved Otto (see pic) passed away 9 month ago and i wasnt on here since. Quick recap of happened then: I moved recently to another flat and as fate wants it, on the very first day, while moving stuff into my flat, a curious young cat...

hey hey everybody, i need some advice. I have to leave the city for christmas and new year. i will be gone for about a week. it will be the first time i have to leave Otto alone. here is a quick back story. Otto adopted my about 5 month ago. he was a stray but very friendly. since then, we are...

hey hey all, hope you are all doing well. as some of you might know, a stray recently adopted me and we are having a great time. :)) around the block i discovered recently a young mom with 2 tiny kittens. they seemed very shy so i just saw them from afar. they seemed healthy enough. 2 days...

hey hey everybody! i hope you are all good! i observed something funny about ottos eating behavior. i guess its quite common but i would like to know why that is. when otto gets his dry food, he immediately digs in but only in the center. once he finishes it and successfully has pushed all the...

out of curiosity, i just played Otto some animal sounds from youtube. i wanted to see what sound triggers a response. dogs=no response at all. tigers, lions, ect=no response. cats meowing=no response. crickets=no response. birds=he jumped up ready for anything. he looked more focused then a...

Today, for the first time, a fly entered the apartment. Otto was a stray, so i thought he knows what a fly is and does! but the way he reacts is just hilarious to me. he makes this noise, i cant explain how it sounds. its a combination of hissing, meowing and a stutterer. he wakes up whenever...

hey hey everybody, i hope you are all good! i just made a nice beef stew. i boiled the beef separately just with a bit of salt. is it ok to give the left overs to Otto? its basically a bit of boiled beef with juice (?). thanks for your time and input.

first off, im not sure if this is the right forum but somehow it will fit into behavior. as Otto and i get to know each other further and further i realized that he needs an adventure every couple of weeks. the first time it happened i almost fell apart and signed up to this page to ask for...

im not sure how to interpret this. otto just threw up his lunch 4-5 hours after eating it. it was undigested and still in chucks (sorry for the detail). it was his usual wet food (no change in diet). he is eating now his dry food. he seems content and wanted to cuddle. we went to the vet...

hey all, this is just a quick for all of you who helped Otto and me. today was vet day (finally). he is a strong healthy cat. nothing wrong with him at all. hurra! the vet couldnt find any chip and is not aware of any missing cats. again: great site, great people, great support!

i live in a country now that gets seriously hot during summer. today morning was already 39 degrees Celsius (102.2 fahrenheit) and i dont have any aircondition. what can i do to make it more endurable for my cat? or does it not matter that much?

quick backstory: Otto is/was a stray cat. he is male and not neutered yet. he came into my life recently and we bonded instantly. we are in the process of adopting each other. it took him less then an hour in my flat to relax and have a nap. a couple of day and he jumped on my lap for cuddles...

hey everyone, i was wondering what breed my Otto might be? its for sure a mixed bag of many since he was a stray.

this is not really a question, more a funny anecdote. another precious moment from otto: as a stray cat he just learns now how to play care free. its adorable. i made all kinds of toys for him. (home made, since there are no pet shops really with good toys around here) what he seems to enjoy the...

hey hey everyone. its chris and otto. :) i was just wondering what that bold spot might be? is it the result of an old injury? it seems well healed and he doesnt mind me touching it. (no pain or anything) i will go to the vet anyway tomorrow for a general check up but i thought i might ask...

i'd like to take this opportunity to say a big thanks to everyone. you guys have helped me lots in the last 2 days since im on this site. you have helped me to find answers that would have taken me hours to research. (not sure if this is grammatical correct) and otto would like to say thanks...

i am not sure if this fits in here, but its sort of a behavioral question. where is best place to put a litter box? obviously not in the middle of the room but do cats have a general liking to where the box should go, or is it from cat to cat different? shall it be more in the bathroom so we...

what see many different cat food (wet food) brands here. sadly i do not speak the local language and i can not read it. i buy right now Purina cos i know this brand, but what are the mayor differences between off brand and brand foods? is it like human food. or are of brand cat foods less...

i am not sure this classifies as health but i think it will. i recently took in a male stray cat (otto). he is the most well behaved stray cat i have ever met. never scratches never jumps on table even if there is food on it. only after a few days he jumps up on my lap for a good cuddle session...

hello all, i just signed up to this site and this is my first post. i have to elaborate a bit first, before i can make my point, so bare with me. (sorry for my english). so, i live in a country that is not yet very developed when it comes to stray/feral animal. the neighborhood im living in is...
