Hey, I just found out that I have a mouse living in my car, and so I put one of those noise makers and also sprayed my car with peppermint essential oils. I figured since it was in my car I didn’t need to worry about the cats, but my friend said I smell like peppermint even when I exit my car...
Hello, my little kitty Lexa likes to chew wooden corners. This normally isn’t a big deal because it’s usually only her wooden cat ledges that she chews. But the other day I looked up and saw she had also chewed the corner of the window sill. This is an older house so I began to worry about lead...
Hey, For a little while now I've been noticing a lump of sorts on my kitten's belly. I would have thought it was a muscle if it was symmetrical on both sides of her belly. When she was healing from her spay I remember her having kind of a lump on her incision site, the vet wasn't concerned when...
Hi I like to insure my pets with pet insurance. I originally had healthy paws for a couple years and didn’t have any huge problems with them but they did keep increasing my premiums and so I ended up looking elsewhere for a different company. I settled on PetsBest and have really not liked them...
Should I be concerned, or is she just stupid? Lexa sometimes does this thing where she leans her neck on the side of the cat tower and then coughs. This one went on longer than usual which is why I thought she was going to throw up. But she did not and instead just recovered and tried biting the...
Hey, I just got a new kitten two days ago and she’s soo tiny and I’ve never had a kitten before since my other cat I got as an adult.
See I’m worried because she has not been eating much at all. I have gotten her to eat tiny bits of wet food off my finger. But yesterday and the day before she...
I have one very loving, very needy 6 year old kitty and I love her so much. Historically she's gotten along fine with other cats that my housemates had. But right now I am living with someone who does not have a cat. I work from home, so she's not alone much at all. I would love to get another...
Hey so one of the cats may have eaten half of a chicken wing. I say may have because I just found half of a chicken wing tonight on the floor. The thicker part of the chicken wing. And I’m afraid that one of the cats might have eaten the other half.
I could scrounge through the garbage to see...
Hello fellow cat people! I am just looking for some reassurance.
My housemate and I found a stray cat outside, we fed him and brought him inside (into a room separate from the other cats). But then my housemate took the bowl that he had eaten from (and still had some food in it) and put the...
I am paranoid and I have avoided essential oils like the plague ever since I learned that they could be bad for cats. However, my house mate just got some essential oils and an essential oil diffuser for a gift and I feel like I can't just tell her not to use it at all. Are they okay in...
Hi, I just recently moved in with some people and one of the cats that was previously at the house has a weird thing that’s been going on with his leg.
He occasionally will kick/thump his leg like a rabbit and bite and lick it as if it is bothering him. He will also sometimes run around and...
My house mate wants to get a Christmas tree for the living room. I have heard that they are toxic to cats so I was not a huge fan of having a Christmas tree (unless it was a fake Christmas tree) but then my other house mate said that he wanted a Christmas tree too. So I am out voted.
I could...
So I just moved into a house that already had two cats and we’ve been doing the slow introduction process. And we’ve gotten to the point where cats are meeting now.
Key: Mia is my cat, 4 years old. Binx is a 10 year old cat and Felix is a little under 1 year.
Things I think are going pretty...
So I just moved on Friday. I set everything up Friday and brought Mia over on Saturday. I made sure to not clean any of her stuff (her cat tree her beds ect) and didn't even clean her litter box because I read that it was better if things smelled like her from the start.
I just want to know if...
My parents are getting the roof done and Mia is scared and hiding and it’s gonna take three days for the roof to be finished and I am wondering what I can do to help Mia feel less scared.
Right now I’m laying on the floor talking to her. I know she likes when I talk to her and I actually was...
Hi, I’m not sure what’s going on with my cat.
This behavior started yesterday and I suppose it’s my fault for introducing two new things On the same day.
First I took her outside on a leash which she really liked. And then right after I administered her monthly flea medication.
Shortly...
Mia doesn’t like turkey. And yet I decided to try a different brand of turkey raw food for her because it was on sale. And turkey was the only flavor left other than one bag of lamb which I also bought.
And Mia is just not a fan. I should have guessed, but she had only tried one other brand of...
I’m currently feeding my cat a raw food diet so this question isn’t for her, I don’t mind spending most of my money on her... she’s my child after all lol. But I have heard this saying that the best dry is still worse than the worst wet cat food. So like Ziwipeak or Origen are worse for your cat...
I know that smelly substances are often bad for cats, and sharpies have a very strong smell. Well I’ve been using sharpies a lot lately (black out poetry) and was wondering if I should keep my cat out of my immediate area while using them? She doesn’t seem to care but then again that doesn’t...
