    Need Legal Advice To Keep Abandoned Cat.. Please Help

    Hello all! I apologize for this looooong story but I tried to keep it short and sweet but couldn’t! Anyway, in September 2017, this little adorable kitty started showing up to my house. She wasn’t in good shape - skiddish, skinny, cuts all over her face, ears completely scanned up and bloody...

    Cat Suddenly Super Cuddly? Should I Be Concerned?

    Yeah it’s been rough. Grandma, whose 98, just moved in and she’s not doing well at all. My parents put majority of it on me and my younger sister but I have two classes left until I graduate so I’m trying to get a job lined up and everything planned so I’m sure my fur baby sees that. I got...

    Cat Suddenly Super Cuddly? Should I Be Concerned?

    Thank you she’s my little princess!! I was thinking that maybe bc she lost her favorite room and there’s someone new hanging around all day everyday that she wants to stay safe by being right next to her mommy. She knows I’ll protect her. It’s crazy bc I only got her s year ago and she trusts me...

    Cat Suddenly Super Cuddly? Should I Be Concerned?

    I didn’t even think of the weather thing!! She only adopted me last fall so I’m still learning about her and how she reacts to each season. This summer, she was super uncomfortable from severe allergies and the horrible heat and humidity. She is very allergic to mosquitoes and they were HORRIBLE...

    Cat Suddenly Super Cuddly? Should I Be Concerned?

    I emailed her vet and she said as long as she’s eating and I don’t see any other changes, that she’s probably fine. I torture my poor vet over every single little thing but she’s wonderful! There’s been times where she’s told me to come in ASAP, times where she called medicine in without making...

    Cat Suddenly Super Cuddly? Should I Be Concerned?

    I emailed her vet and she kinda said the same thing. As long as she’s eating and active, she’s probably fine. I’m extremely in tune with her and I don’t see ANY other differences in her. There was multiple times when I felt there was something going on with her and my family said I was...

    Cat Suddenly Super Cuddly? Should I Be Concerned?

    Hello everyone! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted on here about Arabella so I’ll give a brief history of our situation. About a year ago, a neighbor’s cat started coming over and we fell in love with her. Her family, I think unknowingly, neglected her and she was not in great shape (licked...

    Please Help!! Kitty Keeps Coughing/sneezing!!

    Omg I am so sorry!!!!! I got her a year ago (she adopted me because her owners, my neighbors were pretty neglectful) and she was an outdoor kitty so as much as I HATE it and stress every day she’s outside, I’m kinda stuck with it because I’ve never seen a cat love the outdoors as much as she...

    Please Help!! Kitty Keeps Coughing/sneezing!!

    Hey everyone!! Here’s an update on her condition... She’s still coughing but not as much. I just finished a 5-day course of antibiotics. I’m hoping it worked and she’s just slowly getting over it. I have also stopped keeping my AC so high at night (I like it to be frigid when I sleep) and I’ve...

    Please Help!! Kitty Keeps Coughing/sneezing!!

    Hello everyone!! My 7 yo American Shorthair female has been with me for almost a year now and she’s only once coughed a few months ago. Friday, she coughed/sneezed (not sure!) 2 or 3 times. She’s been having a lot of trouble with allergies so I chalked it up to that! But, Friday I brought her to...

    Maggots In Cats Food - Help!!

    I certainly will!! She seems fine so far. After being over in the neighbor’s yard, she came home and hung around our yard before I tricked her into going into the Catio I built attached to the garage and locked her in, much to her dismay. After about an hour of sulking in the Catio, I got her...

    Maggots In Cats Food - Help!!

    The problem is that in the morning she’s soooo fixated on going outside that she doesn’t eat her breakfast. I tried keeping her inside until she ate half of it but she refuses and stands by the door crying. So I sometimes have to feed her a snack or lunch out there and since today was SO hot, I...

    Maggots In Cats Food - Help!!

    Ugh she really hates it :( the only time she really goes in is in the evening time. I usually bring her inside between 5-7pm before it gets dark and then she’ll stay in the catio pouting and refusing to come into the garage and go inside the house. So now when I bring her in, I let her hang out...

    Maggots In Cats Food - Help!!

    Thank you so much!! I’ve been seriously worried sick! And yes, I’ve been doing wet food with extra filtered water 3-4 times a day with a little bit of kibble out overnight. She seems fine but lethargic, which is pretty typical when she goes out when it’s hot and boy is it hot!! I have work...

    Maggots In Cats Food - Help!!

    So I fed my fur baby a can of Fancy Feast today and added plenty of water because I finally let her go outside today and it’s brutally hot. ((((Side note: I don’t particularly like her going outside but I got her as an adult and she was pretty much left outside to die by her previous owner. I...

    Fur Baby Hates Catio - Help!!!

    Whenever I would ring the bell and call her name and she came right home, I would give her pets and tell her how good she is and give her treats. But since the Catio or the nice weather or combination of both, she doesn’t answer when I call for her or ring the bell. I think I need to put the...

    Fur Baby Hates Catio - Help!!!

    Yeah I think not letting her out would only further make her feel confined and want to go outside more. She is infact spayed. My sister suggested she found a new family :( but I don’t think so because when she left her old family and came to us, she was skinny, timid, didn’t really know how to...

    Fur Baby Hates Catio - Help!!!

    My 7 yo (who adopted me this past fall) hates her new Catio I put together for her. I only did a small section for now because I’m at the end of my last semester with 7 classes so I didn’t have much time to put the rest together. Right now, it’s up against the garage door that she goes outside...

    Fur Baby Hates Catio - Help!!!

    I’ve heard great things about the Come With Me Kitty harness! At a first glance, I’d think the vest would be safer but the more I think about it, the more I think it would be easier to slip out of. I can’t believe Demi got lost in the woods for two days!!!! I’m sure you were going NUTS...

    Fur Baby Hates Catio - Help!!!

    I literally JUST picked out another activity tree for her catio that has a few levels to climb that I’m ordering today. She loves the scratching posts on her indoor tree but won’t use the cat condo, so I thought I’d try one without a condo and just large landings since she’s a bigger medium...
