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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Let me say first, YES we have seen (and are seeing) a vet. 2 vets, actually. On general practice vet and one veterinary behavior specialist. I have posted about this cat before, concerned about the thinning of the hair on his legs and the base of his tail. But it seemed to really improve so I...

One of the three cats in my household has a thinner coat than the others. 2 of the cats are mine, one is my mom's. It's my mom's cat that has a thin coat. I'll include some pictures at the bottom. I thought maybe he just needed more food. I feed them 20 calories/pound of body weight of...

Hello all, haven't been here in a while. Just busy. But I am back for some advice. I suspect my 8 year old female cat is getting blocked up with hair. It has happened once before and it was awful. She was so sick, and we almost had to go in for surgery. I do NOT want it to happen again. But I...

Hey all, I live in a desert and don't usually have a lot of tick or flea problems. But this year, there are so many ticks. I think I've only seen a tick once here, but this year they are everywhere. I found 3 ticks on my dog and some fleas. So I put fipronil on all of my dogs. I didn't put it...

My strategy for feeding my cats has been to hunt sales on Chewy to make buying the higher quality brands possible. I find a sale, buy like $50 worth of food. When I start to run low, I look for another sale. If I can't find one, I buy Fancy Feast Classics. Well this time around the food that has...

Hi all, I'm here to get advice for a friend of mine. A couple years ago he found a sick kitten outside his house and took her in. Turns out she has a very bad and chronic sinus infection. A needle was used to extract material from her sinuses to culture, and pseudomonas (way above normal...

One of my cats is a regular black DSH, so I'm not posting pics of him. Here is my female cat, Brook. My guess is a bicolor brown ticked tabby DSH. I plucked out of a box of 20 other kittens from stray mothers, so I'm guessing she doesn't have any special breeding. And here one of my...

I'm doing a diet change for my cats. I'm switching from an all commercial canned food diet to a homemade/commercial canned mix. I'm using Fancy Feats Classics (beef, turkey, chicken rotation) and for now want to use some chicken breast with Alnutrin + Calcium. I also want to try using eggs/egg...

One of my cats started behaving strangely the night before last. Two nights ago he vomited clear, bubbly liquid. I didn't think too much of it since it was just once. He seemed fine. The next day he seemed a little off, and had a bit of loose stool. Yesterday he had actual diarrhea and was...

Hi all. Kinda new, but everyone has been really helpful while I'm trying to work out a new diet for my cats, so I figured I would get some opinions on this situation as well. There are 3 cats in my home. I will give a little backstory for context. Brook is my 7 year old female who I have had...

Recently I've been on a mission to get my cats the proper nutrition, but I can't seem to make it work out. My female cat did well on her canned food (Triumph) for a long time, but my family recently got two more cats and they did not do well on it. Their fur quality got gross and they were...
