She will initially. It's a natural behaviour of cats to remove the dead outer layers of their claws. But they can be trained to only scratch certain things, like scratch posts, though it will take time and patience. You can protect your furniture (sofa covers etc, sprays to keep them off...

Lethargy could point to a number of causes - diabetes, thyroid problems, growing old (think cranky grandparents) or even something as simple as her not getting enough sleep. If possible, observe what she does now that she is not sleeping with you. My cats got lethargic and cranky once and I...

Also remember to burp him after every feed and stimulate him to pee. Use a warm, damp towel in gentle stroking motion on his rear, the way a mummy cat would lick her kittens to get them to pee.

Bring him to a vet asap for deworming, vaccinations and flea baths. Always keep him warm as kittens are unable to regulate their body temperatures on their own yet (hence the cuddling with litter mates and mummy cat). You can place a hot water bottle under blankets and let the kitten sleep on...

She probably smells something different on your husband. Has he been petting others cats or animals? And your husband probably smells "normal" again after a night's rest, hence the change in her behaviour the next morning.

Please get a second opinion fast. Even if it's just old age catching up on her, it doesn't hurt to err on the side of caution. Keep up updated and stay strong.

If you can, please get the family to the vet. If there's another one still inside, need to get it out fast for the kitten's and mummy's safety. (Personal experience, I waited too long and lost a kitten. Thankfully, mummy cat was fine.) Also if you can, get mummy cat neutered when she can be...

Applause! You got it. Mum's a Blue Mitted Ragdoll and Dad's a British Blue. Temperament wise, takes after the mum and will go limp when carried. Otherwise, playful and will zip around the house and terrorise my other cat.

Did your neighbours get a new cat/pet? Could be the reason why yours want to stay away with his keen sense of smell. Could also be a dead creature/rodent somewhere in the house. Or perhaps he found a new love interest down the road. And would rather be outside so he can get to his love...

Cupcake (don't judge, my daughter named her) the Kitler and Grey Grey Tunaface.

One of my cats is my alarm clock. She wakes me up at 4 every morning (yes, I do get up that early) by licking and grooming my face. I don't mind this on weekdays but dread it on weekends when I want to sleep in. I ignored her wake up calls on weekends and after about a month, she finally got...

Nope. Not Burmese. Try again.

Yup. One half a ragdoll. This is a pic of her today. Think her other half shows more now that she's bigger. She was a month old in the previous pic and is now five months old.

Looks to me like cat acne that has become inflamed. Just like human acne, you'll have to keep affected areas clean. Once the wounds have healed, brush her chin regularly (you can use an unused toothbrush). This helps to break up any oils in her skin and prevent the glands from getting inflamed...

Based on experience, could be a number of possible reasons related to the neutering - hormonal imbalances, stress and anxiety, post-operation pain. Best is to separate Mama cat from the kittens until you can determine what exactly is the cause and do what is necessary. Perhaps Mama wants to...

Hi! I'm new here, but not new to cats. Would appreciate inputs on what breed my latest baby seems to be. I actually know what her parents' breeds are but would like fresh pairs of eyes to see which breed shines through more. Parents are purebreds (different breeds) who had an accident during an...
