I used an E-collar on Maynard when he got neutered. He HATED it so I decided to take it off him the next morning. As soon as it was taken off he was constantly licking and tugging at the site we we put it back on and he ended up getting an infection. We kept it on for 5-6 days until the...

Yes, please let me know!!

Thanks so much. Yes, I am thinking the best option is to go to my vet so I will be taking her tonight or tomorrow. I didn't take her for an initial exam with my vet as she was just spayed the day before and we have all medical paperwork. Call me ignorant but i guess that's something I should...

Hi everyone, I adopted an almost 5 month old kitten 2 weeks ago. Things are going well and her and my big cat and her are getting along and playing together lots! However, I two days ago I caught her peeing on my laundry. I immediately picked her up and took her to her litter box. Yesterday I...

No he wasn't a rescue. We got him when he was 10 weeks and he was a well fed kitten, he was even big for his age so I'm not sure where this comes from. Maybe I have spoiled him too much? And yes he is my picture. Thanks for the tips! I will try the box but I have a feeling he will be very...

My cat does the name thing! He's even done it to guests when eating - very rude! A firm no and taking him off the table/couch etc. has worked. Only issue for me is a give in and let him try my chicken so he's good with my husband who is strict about it but not me :blush:

My 1 year old cat Maynard is a huge pig. He always wants food and eats all his wet food and almost all his dry food in one sitting. And he always wants whatever I'm eating. I have to be so careful with him and literally count his calories because I do not want him to be overweight. I got a new...

Thanks! I did end up opening the door a couple days ago and they are getting along well! Maynard is still unsure of Katie and he wrestles with her a lot. She hisses every now and then if he plays too rough and I separate them if I find he's getting too dominating.

I just adopted a 4 month old kitten yesterday. Katie is very sweet, timid but hissy towards my 1 year old boy, Maynard. We have her in the bedroom and Maynard in the rest of the home. Maynard is the sweetest cat and doesn’t have a mean bone in his body and has never even hissed. Katie on the...

I took him out again yesterday for about 20 minutes. He's OK with me putting the harness on but as soon as he realized we were going out, he ran under the bed :( I managed to get him outside, but he did the same thing- shaking like crazing and laying low in the grass not moving. He seemed...

awwww, I honestly just assumed all cats would love the outdoors. I'm going to try a few more times to see if he gets used to it, but it not, then you're right - I won't push him. I would love to get him a pet stroller, they're too cute. and I think he would love it! I just don't think I would...

This week I started to introduce my 6 month old to the outdoors. I live on the 6th floor and he has always loved looking outside. A few days ago I brought him out with a harness and he was so scared! He just sat low on the grass shaking. He wanted me to hold him and when I did he would borrow...

I would have done that too! I don’t blame you for worrying though - I’d feel the same way. I think you did the right thing though.

I have a slight firebrat issue in my condominium (these little bugs are similar to silverfish). They run super fast! My little guy loves killing them for me and eating them :blush:

The vet said it’s swollen and looks like an infection. He got antibiotics. Hopefully this heals quickly!

I couldn’t get him to the vet today because of work. Thankfully my vet is open weekends. He’s going crazy and constantly trying and trying to get down there. I took a look and it seems fine but it looks crusty and looks like there’s pee stains all around and on his fur. The strong sour smell is...

I feed my guy Performatrin Ultra for both wet and dry (I think this is a Canadian company only available in Canada). It’s grain free which I think is best for your cat! I feed him wet twice a day and free feed dry - around 2/3 cup per day.

Thanks! He is such a sweet boy. My last cat was about 8 pounds fully grown (he was really long and lanky but I didn’t have him when he was a kitten) so I’m not used to my current cat’s size!

So the e-collar came a little undone and I didn’t notice quickly enough - he was at it again!! It looks red and i thought I saw a bit of blood....I’ve also noticed he smells really bad (a sour smell). I assume this isn’t normal???? Help! I think I may have to take him to the vet. :(

My cat just got neutered 2 days ago and they recommended the e-collar stay on for 7-10 days. My cat was so miserable with it on I decided to try and take it off 24hours later. He immediately started biting it, licking and then crying because he hurt it. I put it back on. Better safe than sorry...
