Just wanted to hear other people's thoughts on this - my cat just went in and had lab work done. He doesn't have CKD now but I guess there is a high chance he does develop it within 2 years according to some assessment (he's 12). The vet told me to put him on CKD food but I'm wondering if I...

I would like to add an update. So interestingly the feeling of my cat’s rib sticking out went away about 2 weeks after posting this. Then it came back yesterday. Very odd. Had appointment with vet today and they took labs and x rays. No lab results yet but the x ray was abnormal. They are not...

Yes, although my cat is chunky so can’t see it pronounced like yours. But yes that area at the back of the rib cage feels like it’s more pronounced than it used to be on his left side. I have an appointment on the 21st but will try to move it sooner. Please update when you get feedback from your...

is Mr Captain only more on the left side also? And was it always that way or something you seemed to notice one day as being more?

I wasn’t aware that the last rib on cats is a floating rib and I’ve noticed that my cat’s left one seems to protrude more than the right. Certain positions he is in I can’t feel it at all but if he is just standing there not turning or looking to any side if I run my hands down both sides it...

My cat lays at the end corner of the bed a lot and tonight I noticed what looked like a dried blood spot or something. There are a few other smaller marks also. This is the third time I’ve seen this appear seems to happen maybe once every 1-2 months. I didn’t think much about it before but this...

So I noticed today that when playing with Da Bird toy Snuffy’s stomach started contracting/spasming a few times when he got ahold of the feathered toy and really started chewing on it. I’ve never seen that happen before but honestly he also doesn’t usually get it and start going to town on it...

smell seems to be gone and almost dry. I’ll do the vacuum in an hour and let him out thanks.

I’m having trouble finding info online I saw that for dogs they recommend 3 hours to let it dry. I live in an apartment and they had professional cleaners come and do a carpet clean. They sprayed some solution in the carpet then used the big hose and vacuum thing to clean it. Anyone have any...

Yes my cat usually goes every 2-3 days. I only give him wet food apparently it’s more common with wet food.

Appreciate the feedback I got quite a few toys from the lists and your suggestions will see how it goes with them!

He was just at the vet last week and everything is good health wise just has his ongoing IBD but it’s under control. I got him going last night with Da Bird again I just had to do a really different action with it than I had before. I don’t leave toys out I keep them in the closet. He doesn’t...

No he doesn’t act restless or anything - in general he’s just become a bit lazier and less interested in playing it seems.

I have quite literally spent over 1,000 dollars on toys for this cat and he’s seemingly sick of everything. I could really use some ideas of things others have found to entice their bored-of-everything cats to play again. And yes I actively try to play with him and have as long as I’ve had him I...

Thank you for posting this, it will help me make the decision to do it and unfortunately I think the time may be soon.

No he just does it after any sort of movement for a little bit then starts deeper breaths after a few minutes. Think he has always done it. I took a video and will show my vet when I see her in a couple weeks

So if your cat was having breathing issues due to something like heart failure it would affect their breathing at any time sleeping or awake right? When sleeping my cat Snuffy’s breathing is fine and even when he’s been sitting for a while, but if he’s been moving around and sits (not playing)...

So trying to find what a cats respiratory rate range should be seems almost impossible because there are so many different conflicting values given online. Here are just a handful I found in 10 minutes of looking - breaths per minute - 15 to 30 - 15 to 40 - 15 to 60 - 15 to 30 (when resting or...

Pill wrap called Vetoquinol CARE pill wrap oral paste. I gave my cat some first without the pill and he loved it. Since then never had a problem again I just wrap the pill and he eats it right up. Before that I had major problems

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions on specific cat carriers that your cat naturally seems to want to spend time in? Like maybe you leave it around the house and they sleep in there or eat in there, etc. one that is comfy for the cat.
