We have a 6 year old DSH neutered male who has on and off respiratory issues. He was a semi-feral now turned indoor cat and we don't know what his medical history was prior to the age of 2. He's had every test in the known universe and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him. But...

We adopted this cat from the shelter when he was two. On bringing him home, he had a severe URI where he stopped eating, drinking or moving for about two weeks. We syringe fed and watered, did antibiotics, and he made a full recovery. Since then, he's always had eye drainage and been minorly...

We have three cats, and this involves our 3yo neutered male. This kitty was an outdoor cat the first year of his life, and we've struggled with transitioning him to being an indoor cat. After two years of indoor life, he still is clearly depressed and tries to run out the door any chance he...

We have two cats, both prior strays. One loves their lot as an indoor cat and despises the outside. But the other...the other yearns for it. We live in an area that has a very high coyote, owl and falcon population. Cats and small dogs disappear every day. A coyote climbed our neighbor's 7'...

On my vet's recommendation, my cats get wet and dry food. The dry food she recommended is Hill's Science Diet Sensitive Stomach & Skin because one of my cats has dandruff and the other vomits frequently. Since we started this food a year ago, my black medium hair's coat has been amazing and...

I'm back for another round. As a reminder, I am six weeks into a cat introduction. The resident cat is Lando, a 13lb black 2 year old male. The new cat is Ahsoka, a 7.5 pound tabby six month old kitten. They are both fixed and we have done all of the formal introduction procedures. For the most...

We're five weeks into a cat introduction and you guys have been extremely helpful with helping us figure out various aggressive behaviors, so I thought I'd ask about this latest development. Our resident cat has developed a new routine that has me worried. He spends the morning chasing the new...

We are four weeks into a cat introduction. This is the first week that during the day we've let the cats run around and fully interact while I'm at home. There have been up and downs. Our resident cat is still chasing, jumping on, and antagonizing the new cat a bit, but they also have slept...

We're 3+ weeks into a cat introduction with our 2yo black male resident cat, and a 6mo old tabby female new kitten, both fixed, both prior strays. They eat delightfully next to each other with no gate and play paws and touch noses through the gate. But then we let them hang out and pandemonium...

We are doing our second foster-to-adopt trial. The first one did not work out because the cat was incredibly timid and seemed to aggressively hate our resident cat. Resident cat (2M, fixed), for his part, was never aggressive with her and very respectful of her space. He seemed to enjoy having...

Our cat was found in a feral cat colony a year and a half ago. When he was trapped and brought in, it was found he was already neutered and passed some behavioral tests, so they decided he was previously owned and adopted him out to us. It's clear our cat LOVES the outdoors. He is a super...

Hey all - we have a call into the vet about this but I thought I'd seek your opinions here too. We have a 2 year old resident cat that had really bad feline herpes when we got him from the shelter. He made a full recovery and has been completely healthy for the last year, not even a sniffle...

We are on day 11 of trying to introduce our new 1yo female cat to our resident 2yo male cat. 1yo female cat has finally warmed up to the home and her territory and seems pretty happy and confident. She is still sequestered most of the time in a room, but we've been allowing her run of the house...

We have a resident male cat, fixed two year old. He was a semi-feral that has come along wonderfully in the past eight months, but has a boredom problem. He's incredibly social and loves cat videos on Youtube, so we thought he'd benefit from a companion. Yesterday, we brought in a fixed one...

I have a 2yo DSH rescue that we brought to our home three months ago. Amongst his various issues, he is very specific about where and when he wants to be touched. Head and chin scratches are okay but anywhere else on his body he will get immediately upset about. He will come lay in my lap...

About six weeks ago we adopted an ~18 month old cat from a local shelter. We have no idea what his history was prior to landing in the shelter. He is fixed. We read a million books and watched a million videos to prepare for his adjustment to life in our home, but it turns out none of them were...
