    construction and anxiety/fear

    They are building a new house next door to mine. The process is about 2 weeks in and still will have many months to go. Ever since they've started my cat has been terrified. She hides under the bed in an anxious crouch pretty much the entire time they are working (which is all day). She will cry...

    GI distress

    Yesterday my cat developed bad diarrhea that progressed from slightly soft to completely liquid with some mucous and blood. She then also regurgitated her food and later some water. At this point she was otherwise acting normal--bright eyed and still playful. But, we made a visit to the...

    Underweight cat

    My 4 year old cat is underweight (2/5 body score) but not alarmingly skinny. She has plenty of energy, is bright eyed, and her coat looks healthy, so I don't think there is an underlying health condition. But I'm wondering if she needs more calories. She currently gets a 3oz can of wet food...

    Cat Suddenly Hissing At People

    My cat is 1.5 years old and has always been very friendly and affectionate. She still is with me, but lately has been weary of visitors and has begun to hiss at my boyfriend. She's always really liked my bf, we adopted her together, and used to pick him over me when it came to snuggles, but...

    Fever Of Unknown Origin / Fip?

    My 1 year old cat was not at all acting herself yesterday--lethargic, not wanting to eat, etc. I took her to the vet today and she had a fever of 104, but she has no other symptoms and the blood work came back normal. The vet gave her sub-q fluids, a fever/pain reducer (plus pills for the next...

    Litter That Tracks The Least

    Anyone have any suggestions for litter that has low tracking? My current cat tracks litter around far more than any cat i've had in the past and I'm not totally sure why. And so, I'm on the search for something that is relatively low tracking. I'd of course prefer something that has good odor...

    Assessing Correct Calorie Amounts

    My 10 month old kit-teen currently gets wet food twice a day and has free access to dry food. It's important to me that she has access to the dry food because my work schedule can be unpredictable and I often have to unexpectedly work quite late. So, I want her to have access to food if she gets...

    Number Of Litter Boxes--how Many Do You Have?

    I'll moving out of my roomy 1-bedroom apartment to a 2-story house. The house is not that much bigger in terms of square footage, but it is two stories. I've been in 1 or 2 bed apartments for a long time now, so I've always had 1 litterbox for my cats. But, I'm wondering if I need more than...

    Recommendations For Foods With Gravy

    My 7-month old kitteen loves, loves food with lots of gravy. I know many don't consider it as healthy as pates, but I'd like some good gravy options to at least be part of the rotation. Her favorites seem to be options with the gravy and smaller pieces/shreds-- think fancy feast's 'grilled'...

    "safe Room", Traveling, And A Kitten

    Hi, New member here. I have a 6 month old kitten, who is social and playful and all things lovely. When I first got her a couple months ago I designated the bedroom and attached bathroom (of a 1-bedroom apartment) as her 'safe room' to be in while I'm at work and out of the house. Her food and...
