Update: He's fine, there were no symptoms yesterday. Some more data about him, he's around 3kg/6.6lbs and has consumed four leaves (ca. 4cm long and 1cm broad/1.57in long and 0.39in broad). Today, he's still active, still playful, nothing out of the ordinary. I venture to say the leaves are safe...

Thanks for your replies; let's hope for the best. Currently, he's still his active self. Normally, the cat wouldn't have had access to it; I had it in a dyi greenhouse. It'll be transferred into a new one, so he won't be able to get to it in the future (I hope - it had grown so well!). I'll give...

Hey there, I've got a question to which there is apparently no answer that's easily found. Apart from being the proud owner of a lychee tree sapling, we've also got a rather unintelligent 5 1/2 months-old cat. Said cat thought it a good idea to munch on the leaves, eating a total of 4. Now...

Hey there, I've got a question regarding cat doors and kink tails. It's already awfully hard to find a proper cat door as it is, but our cat's issue is kinda complicating it even further. The issue: We (girlfriend and I) want to install a cat door in the door leading to the staircase. Our cat...

@rubysmama I think it's a combination of both, plus she is a bit lazy about it. For quite some time, all she ever cleaned was her feet - not because she doesn't get to the other parts, but for reasons unknown. She's since got better at it, but it requires a lot of shoving herself to the area to...

Well, since she's rather small, I'd consider it quite too much. It's probably also aggravated by her fluff; she's far from being, let's say as voluminous as the cat in the other thread, but still sitting well above regular weight, and she's got trouble getting everywhere whilst grooming herself...

Thanks for your quick replies :-) @rubysmama we don't know how old she is; she used to be a stray on a farm (badly cared for). I think estimates are~5 or 6 yrs old, so certainly not old, though that's a wild guess, albeit based on two vets' opinions. As to the exact level of obesity, I think it...

Hey there, we've got a problem with my mum's cat - as the title says already, she's fat and won't exercise. She's further on a special diet because of bladder stones and hardly gets any food. We presume she must have been in pain before (but those buggers have the habit of not showing it), so...

Update: Cats being cats, their ways are unknown to man. She's suddenly taken a liking for cat food designed for indoor cats and has fully regained her appetite and activity, even demanding more to the point that we have to watch her rations to prevent overfeeding her. Also, she's back to...

Didn't work with the videos today; sorry, also forgot about responding to Jcatbird; the "thud" thing happened all the time - she looks graceful but lands a bit, well, hard when jumping off things; you tend to hear her before you see her, but that has always been the case. She doesn't have any...

Wow, that's quite a response; I've redacted the report to protect my privacy; I'll provide a translation for the section "Interpretation und Anmerkungen" since the report is in German: "Interpretation and Remarks: 1.) The sample's lipaemia level shows no significant influence on the analysis...

Hypogycemia sounds like an interesting option for this; strangely, her glucose levels were fine, though - you said it'd be easy to miss it, however, its level was 118, thus well in the middle range, even on the higher end of the middle range (upper limit is 140) which may be explained by the...

Hey there, I'm afraid this post will probably be a bit longer. If she doesn't kill herself, I'm not sure I won't at some point; anyway, here it goes: I've outlined some already in a previous post (Cat Diarrhoea), but unfortunately, while the diarrhoea is gone, so is her appetite.Or rather, she...

Had that done, but it came back fine, (un)fortunately. We've changed her food, the other was good quality food; she's quite a fickle eater, so we'll see how she does with the new one. If that doesn't do the trick, we'll see how preparing our cat food ourselves will work - in the absence of any...

UPDATE: Urgh, it's not in the cellar, seems like we've had a false positive there since she's had diarrhoea today. Cause is still as elusive as it was initially; there's no apparent one. A few facts to consider: - there's no contact to other cats, neither directly nor indirectly; none of our...

Thanks for pointing this out, I was aware of that but failed to mention it in the OP, don't know what it could be. Well, dreaded mucking out that cellar anyway, now got a reason to fully overcome that laziness. That cat's been raising me better than my parents in some aspects, first forcing me...

Indy Jones, she's got no access to the dog food; that's in the part of the house where my parents live and she does not step foot in there. Also, our other cat lives there as well, since the two of them don't get along and she gets along with the dogs. Had she been in there, there would've been...

Hey there, I've got a problem that I'd love to hear your opinion on; our cat's been having diarrhoea infrequently of late. We've first attributed it to food and restricted her diet to only dry food and no snacks. When it wouldn't get better, we restricted her movement to first only the house...

I guess UTIs or crystals can be ruled out since she peed normally before and has taken to peeing outside the litter box last night (on the dog baskets). She's in our flat upstairs for now, appearing much less calm and way more anxious than she was before on the couch, but at least she uses the...

Definitely subscribe to that idea, however, I've encountered a minor obstacle that sort of makes this a little hard - she doesn't move when playing but remains stationary. I've tried a wand that has a ball with a tail dangling from it; she would engage, yet she wouldn't leave her position at...
