Sorry, I should have clarified. The outdoor cat is one of my neighbor’s cats, not a stray. His “territory” would overlap with my cat’s. I believe he is both neutered and vaccinated.

About 6 weeks ago, I moved from an apartment to a duplex and I’m not sure if I should let my indoor cat outside. I adopted Charlie at 8 months old (he was a stray until 6 months old and then in a foster home until I adopted him) and he has been with me for 7 months now. He keeps trying to escape...

I took Charlie to the vet and they have no idea what’s wrong with him (still). He tested negative for FIV and heartworm so they’re trying putting him on steroids because asthma MIGHT be a possibility.

***It’s a squishy lump on his belly right in between his back legs. And to explain the twitching more, he doesn’t do it after running around like a maniac or anything, I’ve noticed it when he is relaxed and laying down on my lap.

The little stinker drives me crazy at night but then he falls asleep holding my hand and I forget how much sleep I lose

Thanks Margret! I have seen him poop (he likes to wait until I’m in the bathroom to use his litter box that’s also in the bathroom) and he doesn’t hang on the sides of the box. He just squats down in the box with his butt in one corner. I’m going to try buying a new box with higher sides and...

Thanks for your input! I forgot to mention, when I adopted him he had a runny eye and the shelter thought he had an upper respiratory infection and sent me home with a few days of antibiotics. The infection appeared to be gone once the medicine was done so I thought nothing of it. His eye...

There are multiple things happening with my cat and I don’t know if they’re related or what they mean... Charlie is a neutered 10 month old domestic shorthair that I adopted from the shelter about three months ago. He’s super sweet and affectionate and very very attached to me (he follows me...
