Hello everyone, Let me start this by explaining that I'm an action figure collector as much as I am a cat lover, they are my 2 favorite things in the world. My office is my collection room and where I work 8 hours of the day, but also where I spend most of my time doing different hobbies - in...

Those are dog chewing toys, correct? Are they resistant enough to not be torned apart by the extremely piercing canines of cats? Dehydrated rabbit ears (or feet also) are treats for cat and dogs that simulate natural prey and have some nutritional value to them. It's mostly cartilage so it...

So a very common issue with kitties I supposed, but my case is not very dramatic (i.e. she's not really that interested with electric cords... yet). I had to exclude any fishing pole type toys as she'll just chew right through the string. She likes to eviscerate or rip parts of her mice toys as...

Hello everyone, In an effort to reduce my 3 cats environmental footprint, I switched some time ago to an eco-friendly litter (Ecolife by Intersand) which uses wheat and corn residue. I also used another one briefly that was essentially pine sawdust. Both have the advantage of being extremely...

I'm assuming it's just personality (as she has no visible symptoms of a health problem), but thought I run it by other people to be sure. It's just odd, as I've always had very vocal cats. I can have a full conversation with my senior cat, and the other kitten seems to be vocalizing like you...

Back in February, I adopted 2 female kittens from a shelter, both 5-6 months. This is on top of the 14 year old I already have living with me. It's been a little bit over a month now and I've noticed one of the kitties *never* meows or thrills or squeaks like the other one does. I cannot recall...

Not currently, no. This food pickiness has only started around Christmas (which also nearly coincided with his last visit to the vet, but a day or two before the issue really took off). I'm guessing appetite stimulant need to be prescribed or are there any over-the-counter options? As for H-T...

I've made another thread a little while back (link here) about a very similar subject, and the situation hasn't really improved. My CKD cat spontaneously started refusing to eat his vet prescribed wet and dry food (maybe because of depression?), only eating a bite or two and leaving the rest to...

The links got converted to media, I changed that to be regular links. Let me know if the works better. As for my cat, he's 14 years old, late stage 3 CKD. He's on Semintra and food supplement Epakitin. These twitches don't appear to have triggers and seem to occur mainly when he's relaxed. It's...

Another time I managed to capture it. Video 2

For a few months now (but notably more frequent in the last couple of weeks), my cat have these odd head tremors where he seemingly loses control of his facial/head muscles for a fraction of a second (see video at the link below). At first I thought nothing of it until I read it may be caused by...

Ok, that's what I was suspecting. Thank you for confirming. The vet hasn't suggested the need for them yet, and from my observations, my cat seems to be drinking plenty of water by himself, and I also add water to his wet food for good measure. I'm sure it will become needed before long. As...

I'll have to look into that. My vet is saddly not the most forthcoming with additional/supplemental treatment. It looks to be available on Amazon, so I'll give it a shot, thanks.

It's been a little while, but I wanted to thank everyone for their compassion, kind words as well as advices. While I am still shocked and sad about what happened, it's getting a little better day by day. Just as an update, I did not go through with the autopsy as I have no real doubts that it...

It's been a pretty rough time for me as of late with the passing of my younger kitty, but also with the health of my senior cat, Mitaine. He is in late stage 3 CKD and has been loosing weight consistantly for the past 6 months. I saw the vet recently and his bloodwork looked stable for the most...

Thanks for the kind words. It's really the suddeness of it all that's killing me and that I'm not accepting. It was just another day, with him doing his normal things with no signs that anything like this could happen. I feel especially bad because I yelled at him for having sneaked his way onto...

My 4 years old died today very suddenly. One minute he's being his mischievious self, the next he is collapsing on his side and meowing distressfully. I rush to him to see what's going on and very quickly he appears to be gasping for air and then just goes completely limp and unresponsive. My...

In the attached images is the litter I use. It's sold at Costco here in Canada. It doesn't look to be scented, though it says "Fresh Scent" whatever that means. I was already thinking of changing litter for something more eco-friendly in the future, like vegetal litter, so when this box is done...

Hey guys, I need some advice. My youngest kitty (3 1/2 years old) has this habit of scooting his behind on some of the carpety surfaces in my home for quite a few months, possibly more than a year, now. When I took him to the vet last time for his vaccine renewal, I mentioned this to him and...

Oh I'm quite certain that's the case. He was found abandoned in a box left outside at the age of 2-3 months. I don't know how his life was beforehand but it's obvious he lacks some social skills, yes. He really doesn't get the "too hard!" part, especially when wrestling with my other cat. He's...
