    Sudden Fear?

    We actually think they have a small dog, that could be it! She never barks but we hear her running around on occasion. With her food, we've had to up to three ¼ cups of the vet prescribed food, which she barely finishes. Water is added to every meal she eats, she never has just dry. We've...

    Sudden Fear?

    We have zero access to the landlord's house, we're an individual unit. The fenceline is directly parallel to our window, but there's about a three-foot gap, so I guess it's possible other cats could climb our fence and wander. It definitely doesn't happen often though, we have quite a few...

    Sudden Fear?

    (Photo for tax!) Hello all. I'd like to preface this post with a few things: Jane is actively seeing a vet. Her last appointment was May 17th. She got two vaccines and was prescribed a diet food and we were given a kit to collect urine (unsuccessful thus far) for a urinalysis. She is 17.8lb...

    Last Resort

    I got my cat, Jane, on August 24th, 2017 at 8 weeks old. She was feisty back then, and that's something that hasn't changed. I moved away for college, and left her with my grandmother, who is now threatening to get rid of her because of her behavior. Had she been well-behaved, this wouldn't be...

    Nictitating Membrane Showing-- Causes?

    I ABSOLUTELY forgot to reply..... Beast (the cat in mention) was taken to the vet, looking awful; received two steroid shots and, after a day or two, was completely fine. Nothing cancerous, nothing ultimately serious; she just had an abrasion at the roof of her mouth after we'd administered...

    Nictitating Membrane Showing-- Causes?

    We have an update to the situation: we just left the vets office. The doctor came in and examined her, and she's got a lot of swelling in her mouth. He isn't sure if it's a burst salivary gland, or if it's cancerous, but the swelling only started within the last ~24 hours. The only options...

    Nictitating Membrane Showing-- Causes?

    My partner wants me to ask-- do you think burning incense could harm anything, or be a possible issue / amplifier to her illness? It's not a kind you absolutely shouldn't burn around cats; we're concerned either way, though. Thank you for the advice...We're going to try our best to find a vet...

    Nictitating Membrane Showing-- Causes?

    About a week ago, my girlfriend's seven-year-old cat, Beast, starting to get lethargic. When we looked at her, we noticed her third eyelid (or, nictitating membrane), was showing. She was an indoor-outdoor cat (until this happened, and we made her a permanent indoor cat) and we believed she...

    Bad Behavior, Or Playful Kitten?

    I tried the baby hold, and then I tried putting her over my shoulder. She seems to like laying over my shoulder best! If I'm close enough, she'll also jump onto my shoulders and lay across them.. I only got her yesterday but she seems to warm up quickly! :kitty:

    Bad Behavior, Or Playful Kitten?

    I've decided to name her Jane. The name they gave her at the shelter was Calamity Cat, and it made me think of Calamity Jane. I think Jane suits her pretty well. Here are some pictures of her from this morning; it's hard to get them because she doesn't sit still! Don't be fooled.. There are...

    Bad Behavior, Or Playful Kitten?

    I definitely do it any time she jumps onto my side table, walks over my laptop (though that's not a huge issue), scratches up the rug or the wooden posts on my bed. I remove her or tell her "no", or redirect her attention. I don't think I'd ever use a spray bottle, just to avoid the stigma...

    Bad Behavior, Or Playful Kitten?

    All of this is very helpful. I have realized that she is indeed just being a playful kitten, and that it's nothing to worry about. She's more of a joy than a terror! I'll be sure to read the articles provided as well as introduce myself to the community. Thank you! :angel3:

    Bad Behavior, Or Playful Kitten?

    I'm new to owning a cat, so new in fact that I just got my first ever kitten around three o'clock today. She is very wily, and loves to play. She has stuffed toys, a mouse on a string, multiple bell balls, and a wheel + scratcher with bell balls inside. Now, because I've never had a cat...
