She started to exhibit another strange behavior: specifically pooping inside the water bowl (wherever I put it, it gets targeted)
Any idea why? advice on what to do?
No problem, however, I don't know what substance the vet used.
Next time I take her for examination, I would ask the vet to check for these viruses, thanks for clearing that, I thought cat viruses are like the human flu/cold/covid19 that is if she's in total isolation she couldn't get them...
I didn't say it cannot be removed, I said that they told me removing it is very dangerous due to the presence of huge amount of blood vessels in the area(and the mass itself) as well as the intestines have to be cut then re-attached.
The problem is where do you think she could get that virus...
The veterinary hospital that she visited is the veterinary school, as mentioned above at first (august 2021) she was seen by the surgeons team, afterwards (september 2021) by the Internal medicine team,still no diagnose.
Also (Something I didn't mentioned in my post): I involved 3 more vets ,In...
Hello I apologize in advance for the long post:
I have a 5 year old female spayed cat that has strange condition/disease:
Background history:
She was born and abandoned by her mother at late may/early jun 2016, I've been taken care of her ever since, got her spayed early (mar)2017.
It's also...
Thank you all for your comments, sorry for not being able to reply earlier.
The cat has wandered off yesterday, we tried searching everywhere but couldn't find her. (made us really worried)
However ,despite expectations, she returned to us in the morning.
I was able to lure her into an old shed...
Sorry ,my bad, you misunderstood and I think that I misunderstood too. I just didn't understand that the whole "grabbing" was meant to get her inside. And my question about the food was that if her appetite is diminishing how to get her to eat. Not telling you that I dont want to tempt her with...
There is this feral cat I've been taking care of since almost 3 years. I spayed her at 8 months of age, give her vaccines every year.
About 3 days ago she started limping on her left rear leg. 2 days ago she began getting lethargic and losing appetite. She continues to get more lethargic and...
It's hard soil actually, but I do intend to make a floor that would be covered with synthetic grass.
We own the lands, and no the cage isn't considered a house/house-extention
The kitten is feral too yes, however I can't really post the picture of the area for safety reasons. (Nothing...
Your right about your concerns, I'm concerned about it too, that' why I started this thread.
As for you questions:
"Are you ever going to let them out of the cage, perhaps during the day?"
No, I don't think so, if I let them out, they may not go back inside. Unless the whole thing entirely...
How long did it take for your cats to adapt? and how big do you think should the enclosure be?
(I intend to put inside it a 4 month old kitten and a 2 year old cat)
Thanks for the link, however, many/most of these enclosures have access into the house (something that I cannot allow as stated in my post).
The one I intend to build is outdoor only, so, it has to be big enough because there wont be an access to the house.
What I'm asking is that do you think...
First of all, thank you for the reply.
You were wrong about one thing though, maybe I didn't mention it clearly. She was left by her mother very early (which means her mother didn't teach her almost anything) she just took the rest of her siblings and left her.
I know you said that she knows...
*About 2 years ago a kitten was abandoned on our balcony, we began feeding her and caring for her, since then she continues to live around the house.
*At the age of 9 months she got spayed.
*She isn't used to humans picking her up or holding her.
However, I've been facing some problems:
*We...
