@Edwardthefirst she has actually gotten quite a few teeth extracted. She's missing ten teeth, some of which I assume fell out (I don't have very much history on her). But I clean & check her teeth regularly. @Columbine I've actually figured it out. I usually have curtains surrounding my bed...

She was overweight when I adopted her, and she began losing weight before I added wet food, at a rate that my vet said was very good. Thanks!

I give her fancy feast chicken pates and chicken soup for the soul dry food. She isn't a picky eater and the large packs of friskies here all contain beef, which I'm not going to feed to a cat. She's 10 and healthy other than osteoarthritis, which is being pretty well managed by supplements. We...

I feed my cat both wet and dry food because it's too expensive to feed her exclusively wet food. Doing this means I'm splitting the serving sizes so she gets the right amount of calories (calculated by my vet). My only worry is that she may not be getting the right amount of nutrition. My vet...

My cat is ~11yrs old, and her behavior has changed recently. She's eating more slowly/a little less, not quite as eager to play, and she's started sleeping in her carrier instead of on my bed sometimes. My bed is about waist height, but she's got a perch so she can take it in two steps and she's...

My cat Luna is about ten, and I've only had her since January, but she's got toys like this. The first one was an old sock of mine stuffed with scrap fabric that she carried everywhere. We lost it somewhere. Now, she's got a little Mickey Mouse toy she used to completely ignore. It's her...

Luna HATES her carrier. I go to a college 8 hours away from home, but since I have to have Luna in a carrier, it usually takes ten.

She may not want affection unless it's on her own terms. Some cats are far less cuddly than others. If she isn't trying to take a chunk out of you with her teeth, she probably is just more independent than most. A lot of cats don't come when they're called! As for the litter tray, she may like...

Is he microchipped, and does he wear a collar with an ID tag? I know a lot of cat owners don't put collars on their cats, but if he does run off, visible identification is extremely important. I don't really know how to prevent door darting. Can you talk to your housemates about closing the...

Luna sleeps on my bed, usually at the foot but sometimes on my pillow and sometimes I curl around her. When I'm not in my bed, she naps right in the middle. She's an ESA, so her sleeping with me is actually a huge part of her job. If she's purring against my chest, I can always sleep. It helps...

ENTRY I woke up this morning with Luna on my chest, purring. It was the best morning all week :)

ENTRY Luna and are playing fetch. Well, I'm stealing her toy and throwing it across the room. But she keeps bringing it back to the bed. I think she's started enjoying it :) now she drops it and stares at me until I throw it

ENTRY Luna keeps my roommate up scratching at her cardboard boxes, so we started turning them up at night. She figured out how to turn them over by jumping inside! I'm not sure there's a single side of a single box without a hole in it

ENTRY When I go to class, Luna likes to take over my bed for napping. You wouldn't think a cat could take up the whole bed... She sits right in the middle. I never want to get into bed and wake her up!

ENTRY Luna's been on a diet to make things easier on her old bones. We've been exercising and going for walks- we've worn out so many toys playing chase! She's always had a teeny lil head compared to her plump body, but she finally has a little kitty waist! We're just a few ounces from her...

ENTRY I have a class this semester that requires a lot of reading. Luna will be very content napping or playing with her toys- to the point of completely ignoring me- until I bring out a book. Then, she sits on it. Without fail, every time I try to read, I have a cat on my book.

I think vertical play space may help him a lot. Also, if you can, plenty of interactive play time would help too.

ENTRY My roommate has taken to meowing at Luna. Luna will meow back. They go back and forth until Luna decides she has better things to do, and my roommate (a 20yr old engineering student) pouts until she gets distracted too.

Is he fixed? If he isn't, getting him fixed may help. If he is, you might want to take him to the vet. Does he eat constantly? How's his coat?

ENTRY This morning I woke up to find Luna asleep at my feet with one of my socks between her paws. She's a momma's girl :)
