    Moving cross country with cats in a sedan

    Yeah I suppose it usually is only once or twice. Usually in the morning and then in the evening. I suppose I'm probably overthinking it.

    Moving cross country with cats in a sedan

    Thanks, everyone. I think I'll do individual crates as I don't think they would be nice to each smooshed together. Is 9-10 hours too long, do you think? If I don't need to do it in 3 days I'd rather not, I just feel like 10 hours without peeing would be bad for them.

    Moving cross country with cats in a sedan

    Hi! I always get great advice here so I am back. Next month I will be moving cross country by myself with all my pets. All I have is a little sedan. I've been debating how I should go about this. I'll be moving with 2 cats, 1 dog, and some reptiles and I only have so much space. The biggest...

    Urgent - Question on non-recognition aggression

    Well that was simple. Got back from work today and everything is fine now. Tank went from a growling, yowling, very stressed boy to being perfectly normal in the span of the last 12 hours. Thank god.

    Urgent - Question on non-recognition aggression

    Thanks so much for getting back to me fast. I wasn't going to bring the dental cat (Padfoot), I was maybe going to bring the aggressor (Tank). Part of me feels that getting him out of the house and covered with the same smells would make him feel less like the other cat is an invader, but part...

    Urgent - Question on non-recognition aggression

    I'm really hoping to get an answer within 2 hours so I know what to do. One of my cats just had a dental and since bringing him back home, my other cat hates him. I have since learned about non-recognition aggression. It's been 2 days and it's not getting better. I actually have 3 cats and am...

    Urine Smells Very Weird

    Figured I would just go ahead and update this and close it out. She's fine. Did another UA which looked 100% healthy. Did a CBC, full chemistry panel, and T4 which was beautiful, not a value out of place. Even did x-rays once in the morning and once in the afternoon just to see that things were...

    Urine Smells Very Weird

    Update. Kitty started vomiting at 3 am last night. She vomited about 5-10 times in the space of 1 hour and then stopped. Behavior-wise she is doing okay this morning and hasn't vomited again, but that was extremely unusual and now I'm really concerned. The last time she had vomiting issues, she...

    Fiv Risk From Feral Cat

    Thanks for your input! I guess I'm nervous because my ex had a cat (neutered male) who would fight constantly with the neighborhood cats and was always getting abscesses and stuff. My ex eventually had to force him to be an indoor only cat but he was a door dasher and hated being stuck inside. I...

    Fiv Risk From Feral Cat

    Thank you for the helpful reply! That is interesting, I had read that it was fully discontinued. The vaccine sarcoma thing does scare me a little too. Nonetheless, I'll call a few other vets and see if I can find someone who carries it. The main reason it would not be feasible to install a...

    Fiv Risk From Feral Cat

    Hey all, I need help with another thing. A while ago I made a post about my mom's cat (for context, I am an adult getting ready for grad school and live with my mom to save money for that. We have a combined household of 3 cats. 2 are mine and 1 is hers. Her cat does not get along with my...

    Water Fountains To Stimulate Drinking

    I wish you luck! I didn't realize how difficult it was going to be to even tell if my cat is using it. I work full time so don't have a lot of opportunity to see her drink. I haven't seen her do it yet. But I haven't seen my dog drink out of it either and I figure he must be doing so when he's...

    Urine Smells Very Weird

    I haven't done a blood panel yet, no. Figured I would first try the simplest explanation; a UTI. Didn't do a culture either. The behavior hasn't stopped but it does seem like it's gotten better after the antibiotics. This cat has a history of urinating outside the box. Honestly I always thought...

    Urine Smells Very Weird

    I've been having an ongoing issue with my 8 year old female cat urinating outside of the box. Naturally, when I find the wet spot I smell it to be sure it is cat urine since I also have dogs. Twice now (once a few weeks ago, and once just now) when I've smelled it, it smells downright weird. I...

    Water Fountains To Stimulate Drinking

    I got my preferred fountain (with option to return if it doesn't work out). I just set it up this evening. So far she really couldn't care less. Is there anything I can do to encourage her to try drinking from it, or do I really just need to wait it out and she'll use it if she wants to or won't...

    Water Fountains To Stimulate Drinking

    Good point! I'll be buying from Chewy, so no problems returning things there. :) I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't drink from it. She's afraid of the running water in the sink. I'm just hoping she will like it because I don't want her to be dehydrated all the time. I always figured I was...

    Water Fountains To Stimulate Drinking

    Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I actually have a spare filter reptile just lying around. I think I will go ahead and use it to find out if she will even be interested in drinking moving water. If it's a success I'll probably be going with the Pioneer Pet Raindrop one. That's the one I...

    Water Fountains To Stimulate Drinking

    Thanks for your replies! @silkenpaw This is exactly the sort of feedback I was looking for. Can I ask if the Pagoda is quiet? It will be located in my bedroom. How long have you had it and have you had any problems with it? @Azazel I guess I could do that, but she only gets fed 2x a day so I...

    Water Fountains To Stimulate Drinking

    Hi all, I'm back for another question. My 8 year old female cat has been peeing on my stuff, so I took her to the vet. Her urinalysis revealed a very high specific gravity (>1.050) and a small number of red and white blood cells in her urine. The vet said she may have a minor infection or it...

    Severe Hair Loss

    Hmm, okay. You're right, all of the varieties contain liver or meat by products. Food is a frustrating topic to me. It's difficult to find food that is high protein, moderate fat, low carb that doesn't empty my bank account. I'll have to look around and see what I can find.
