Hi everyone! My 3 cats and I recently made a cross country move, and when I took Jem for his annual checkup and vaccines last week, the vet said that flea prevention is advisable in our new area. Our cats only ever go outside under direct supervision, on leash, and in the area around our house...

Hi all! My cat Jem was diagnosed with IBD via ultrasounds in the Spring. He has been vomiting for as long as we’ve had him (since 2018), but until our latest vet, other vets didn’t seem too concerned. Jem has been eating RAWZ rabbit and freeze dried rabbit treats only since March, but the...

Hi everyone, I’ve posted before about my cat Jem’s penchant for throwing up after eating. Jem is a ~7 year old neutered male cat who is very high energy and full of life- he loves to play, to learn tricks, and to cuddle. We adopted him in August 2018 from the SPCA, and ever since he throws up...

Hi all! I’m back again - this time with a mystery to solve. I just went outside to take out the trash, and noticed a set of cat prints in the snow heading into our shed (it is a very old not great shed, there’s a cat-sized hole that our previous neighbour’s cat would go through sometimes). I...

Hi all. This is less a request for advice and more a request for some support. Our girl Mindy is almost ten, and we adopted her in January. While I’ve been getting her used to having her teeth brushed it became clear to me that she had some dental issues, which were confirmed at her annual...

Hi all. This is likely going to be more of a rant than anything- I’d love some cat lover commiseration and any ideas you all have on what to do here would also be welcome. In December my family and I moved from an apartment into a house with a yard. We knew many neighbours have cats, and had...

I’ve seen this food on two recent pet supplies trips and am curious! There’s no information on it on catfooddb, and searching here gave me no results. What do you all think of this food and its ingredient list? We used to be a pate household, but our newest cat is a shreds in gravy fan and I’m...

Hi all! Almost a month ago we brought an older cat (her owners said 7, her vet records say 9.5) into our home because her previous owners were unable to bring her to the seniors home they moved to. Mindy is spayed, and has never lived with other cats before. Our resident cats are two adult...

Hi all! I just brought home the third member of our cat family. Unlike our two boys who were both adopted from the SPCA, Mindy was adopted directly from her previous family; her prior owners are moving to a seniors home that does not allow cats. Her first family clearly love her an enormous...

I’m curious and didn’t see a thread like this when I searched! Right now our two short haired cats get brushed and get their nails clipped on a weekly basis. I also brush their teeth every day - although Jem is much more cooperative than Merle in that regard. What kind of grooming...

I downloaded the petsmart app a while ago to make curbside order pickups easier during the pandemic, and I wanted to say it’s been unexpectedly helpful! The app has a simple game called Treat Trail, which I initially thought was just a cute little gimmick. However, if you play the game, you earn...

Hi everyone! Our household is considering adding an additional kitty who needs a home. Unlike our first two cats, who came into our lives through the SPCA, the cat we are currently thinking about would be an adoption directly from her previous owners (an older couple who are moving into a...

Hi all! My roommate, our cats, and I are moving from our apartment to a ~100 year old house soon and we are really excited! We will finally be able to hang a bird feeder outside for the cats to watch, and we will all have much more space. Since the house is so old, it has its fair share of...

Hi all! The brand of wet food I was previously feeding Jem (Holistic Select) has sadly been discontinued. Right now I’m working hard to find a quality replacement that isn’t ridiculously expensive. Canada Fresh is one of the ones I am considering. It has a pretty great rating on CatFooddb, a...

Hi all! My cat, Jem, will be six this summer and has been with me for a year and a half. Over the course of the past two weeks, Jem has gotten really into stealing socks (no other clothing, just socks) from my roommate's and my laundry baskets. He even figured out how to open my roommate's...

Hi all! My cat Jem is acting a little "off" recently (starting last night) and I'm worried about him. There have been a lot of changes lately in our household and until now he's been taking them in stride, but I'm wondering if this is stress catching up to him, or potentially something more...

Hi folks! I had a question I’ve been mulling over lately. Right now I live in a two bedroom apartment with my longtime roommate and close friend, and my cat, Jem. Recently my roommate fell in love with a cat at our local shelter, and is considering adopting him. I am familiar with all the steps...

Hi everyone! I've had my cat Jem since the end of August and he's such an important part of my family. Over the time I've had him, he's been vomiting occasionally within 10-15 minutes of eating- so just throwing up undigested food. He is very enthusiastic and scarfs his food really quickly...

Hi folks! I'm curious what the best way to describe my DSH cat, Jem, would be. Here are some pictures of him! White belly/chest, white on face, white "socks" - short on his front feet and longer on his back feet. Whatever he is, I think he's very handsome and I love him very much...

Hi everybody! I've been lurking here for a while, researching and reading up and vibrating with excitement as I prepared to welcome a cat into my life. Yesterday I went to the SPCA, and this sweet boy chose me. He curled up on my shoulder, licked my cheek, purred up a storm, and buried his sweet...
