I adopted Charlie six months ago. He was about one year old and had come from an animal hoarding situation. As I understand it, his basic needs were met but he didn't get much human socialization. I have two other cats and they all get along very well with lots of mutual grooming and play...

I apologize for the nastiness of my topic. One of cats is dropping small "poop droplets." These are small liquid-y bits of poop about 1/4 of an inch in diameter. Sometimes just one, sometimes a "cluster" of a 3-4. I have three cats but I think the culprit is the one who has a farting issue...

I hope I can get some advice about my kitty, Charlie. I adopted him about 3 months ago, and was told by the rescue that he had come from a hoarding situation and had not been well adequately socialized. I found him very shy but if I sat with him, he would come for pettng and rub against me...

My kitty, Ollie, was diagnosed with asthma soon after I adopted him. He was put on oral prednisone initially and it worked well, but my doctor did not want him to continue on it long term. Ollie is only about 15 months old. We switched to fluticasone delivered with the aerokat. He does not...

I have three cats, all of whom love to sleep on the beds in the house. They particular favor the guest room where the bed has a white duvet cover. Today, I went into to tidy up because I have a guest coming, and noticed that the duvet cover was covered with little black particles, very small...

This is not strictly a behavior questions but I wonder how to handle it. I originally had two cats and then each one had a tray in the kitchen with a bowl for dry food, and a bowl for the wet food they get twice a day. They share a water bowl in the kitchen and there are another two elsewhere...

A few days after I adopted my first cat Ollie, I noticed that he was coughing a lot. He took two courses of antibiotics and when it didn't clear up he was put on prednisone for chronic bronchitis/feline asthma. That stopped the coughing, but my vet said it couldn't be on it indefinitely so now...

Is there some good way to determine if cats are play fighting, fighting for real, or harassing/bullying each other? There is a good bit of chasing and pouncing going on, but no hissing or use of claws, but while both cats seem to be equally involved, one tends to be on the floor with his tummy...

I am a bit embarrassed to ask this question, but one of my kitties farts a lot, and they are silent but extremely smelly. I have never had a kitty with this problem before. His poops are normal looking and he seems otherwise ok, but the stink bombs are stomach turning. He gets wet food...

I adopted a kitty last week. I prepared a room off my kitchen for him to live in while he got acclimated and so that he could be gradually introduced to my other two cats. Unfortunately, on day 3 he ran out of the room and into my basement, where he has been hiding ever since. I am feeding...

One of my kitties knocked over the trash can in the bathroom and apparently ate a piece of dental floss. I found two puddles of vomit with little pieces of thread in it. He is running around as usual and not acting sick. Do you think he needs to be seen by a vet?

My one year old kitty Ollie has feline asthma. I am supposed to use the aerokat inhaler to deliver his medicine, but he runs and hides every time he sees it. I watched numerous videos on youtube and have tried offering him treats before and after but nothing is working. In desperation, I tried...

First of all, I want to thank everyone for advice about integrating my two cats. As you can see from the attached photo, Charlie and Ollie love each other now. One thing that concerns me is that Charlie continues to be very timid. If I sit on the floor, he will come and be petted and rubs...

I adopted Charlie, 3 weeks ago, and have been working diligently to help him adjust to his new home and his new brother, Ollie. Both are about 1 year old and both were rescue cats. I was told when I adopted Charlie that he is shy and will need patience. I prepared a room for him, with a...

I adopted a 1 year old kitty about 6 weeks ago. He had been picked up by animal control a month or so before I adopted him (unneutered) and then was taken in by a rescue and fostered. Ollie is very active and playful, uses his scratching post perfectly and is generally super sweet. However...

I recently adopted a one year old cat, Charlie. After a few days, I noticed that he had discharge coming from his eyes, so yesterday we went to the vet. She gave him an antibiotic shot and I have a small tube of cream to put in his eyes 3 times a day. He's had 4 doses of the cream but now he...
