I got an extra box yesterday, he hasn't used it yet, but he is using the original box now, and even used it while I was in the room! I also changed the litter to a more sandy type ( was using the white crystal type litter before) and I think that was the problem. I got the "cats best green...

Thx, I will try getting a second one, that might be the problem :p He is not really anxious, he was scared the first 2 days and hid under our bed but now he is very confident and walks around like owns the place lol, he even likes tummy rubs which is a new one for me, all my previous cats would...

Hi everyone, I got my kitty about a week ago and he has been using his litter box fine until tonight. The litter box is quite big, but it's covered, I clean it twice a day at least or as soon as I realize hes used it. Yesterday I didn't realize he was using it and walked into the bathroom and he...

sorry if this is a stupid question :P but can I just give him some chicken/meat that I make myself? I could give him canned food during the day and then just make some chicken etc separately for him in the evenings, or are there other ingredients in the canned food that he needs?

Thanks for all the info, that was really helpful! I'll check if I can find the brands you mentioned here or otherwise will just look for a high protein/low carb one. I've been giving him wet food in the evenings and it seems like he is just waiting till he gets that and avoiding the dry food :P...

Hi all, I recently got a new cat and the vet recommended the "Iams Healthy adult" food. I don't think he likes it though, he doesn't seem particularly happy about eating it and this morning when I put him next to his bowl he sniffed it and scratched around the bowl like he would in the litter...

Hi, we got him yesterday so he is still a little scared, he hasn't tried to get out so I don't know if he would even want to go outside. With the "how" I kind of meant changes we would have to make in the house to make it easier. (I live in South Africa and it gets quite hot in the summer so...

Hi all, I adopted a 1 year old cat yesterday, so far he seems to be doing well, he is still a little scared and has been sleeping under our bed for most of the day, but comes out to eat/use the the litter box. When I sit next to the bed he will come out and he seems to want attention and will...

Thank you for all the kind responses, it helps to know that there are people that understand how much these little kitties can mean to a person. He was a very special cat, he was very fearful when I got him as a kitten and it took many months, almost a year for me to gain his trust, but once I...

It was much harder than I expected, I miss him so much, I know people say he was "just a cat", but he was my best friend and a piece of my heart died with him today.

Thank you for your kind words, I know its the right decision, he is obviously in pain and has very poor quality of life at the moment. Its just hard knowing that today is the last day I will be with him, Ive been through alot the last couple of years and this cat has always been there for me. I...

I found out my cat has FIV a few months ago, the vet suspects he has had it for a few years now but the symptoms slowly started showing the last couple of months. Ive taken him to the vet a couple of times when he was doing poorly and they give him a drip and some vitamins but a few days later...

Thanks all for the advice, I had some baby food in the house, he gave it a lick or two but didn't eat anything, will ask the vet tomorrow about syringe feeding him if hes still not eating, he did drink the tuna water though but I had to put a little bit on his mouth before he started drinking...

My 11 year old cat stopped eating about two weeks ago, he would still meow for food and jump up to his bowl but then just sniff it and walk away. We took him to the vet and he tested positive for FIV. He was put on a drip for two days and he started eating a little bit again, they gave him some...
