    How to stop cat sleeping in my bed!

    Hi all! I adopted a cat a year ago who was badly treated before so he is very attached to me and quite needy. From the start, I tried to encourage him to sleep anywhere apart from my bed but he insists every single night on getting into the bed with me and cuddling right beside me (mostly my...

    Neutered male cat humping while kneading

    Alright thanks everyone.. and yep his rescuer had him neutered before we took him (about 10 months ago) but sounds like normal behaviour then! Guess he's just feeling a bit amorous these days.. thankfully he hasn't tried it on with his big sister, he tried it once when we first brought him home...

    Neutered male cat humping while kneading

    Hey everyone! I have 2 cats, one of which is a male who we rescued 8 months ago. History unknown, all we know is he was dumped out on the street by his family, he was around 1 year old at the time and left to fend for himself mid summer (we live in the Middle East for work so you can imagine...

    Introducing Bigger Male Cat

    Oh that's good to hear! Well hopefully he will be ok with us. I heard declawed cats can have some pain/sensitivity which can cause issues with the litter box etc. Have you experienced this? The rescuer said he uses his litter box perfectly but just wanna be prepared!

    Introducing Bigger Male Cat

    Thanks everyone.. One thing I just learned about him which broke my heart is that whoever the previous owner was had him DECLAWED!! :( :( I don't understand how someone can do that to a cat. But the rescuer told me that he is scared of other cats and will bow down to them because he cannot...

    Lonely Cat At Home :(

    10 days at first and honestly it felt like a lifetime! Everything you're feeling is completely normal. She was totally fine though and was very clingy for about a week after we returned. We have been away a lot more since then, even 3 weeks at one point but she was completely fine! Your cat...

    Lonely Cat At Home :(

    Hi! Your cat will be fine. Mine was like this the first time we went away. We had a pet sitter come in twice per day.. I think she had anxiety the first time because she would do her business outside of her toilet and/or vomit but no big deal. They get a bit stressed but they get used to you...

    Introducing Bigger Male Cat

    Hi all! I have a 1 year 10 month old persian cat and she has been the only cat in the house since we got her. I am about to foster/possibly adopt a rescue kitty who was really mistreated and sick but has since been healed and looked after by his rescuer. He is roughly 6 to 7 months old and...

    Moms Having Anxiety

    Hi! My cat gets the same when I leave but usually she settles after a couple of days. We have a trusted pet sitter that comes in twice per day to feed, play and spend time with her. Your kittys routine will be knocked for a couple of days but she will get used to your absence and likely just...

    Lentil Grass/sprouts Safe?

    Hi all! Is it safe for my kitty to eat lentil grass/sprouts? Cannot find wheatgrass here so decided to grow lentil grass instead and it seems my kitty is addicted to it. She enjoys nibbling on it and screams the place down when I take it away from her. However I have read some things online...

    Cat Won't Walk Across New Area Rug....???

    Totally normal. We bought a new couch recently and it took 1-2 days for our kitty to take to it. She even hissed at it when she was sussing it out

    Kitten Just Spayed And Hyper?

    Hi! Same thing happened for me. Firstly we could not get the cone back on her after it came off, looked up multiple YouTube videos on how to improvise but nothing worked so we left her. She didn't touch her wound at all thank God and healed really well. She was also super hyper the evening of...

    Tear Stain Remover Advice!

    Hi all, I have a white/faun persian kitty who has stubborn tear stains since we came back from vacation. We recently bought tear stain remover (Beaphar - disodiumtetraborate) to help. The instructions said to liberally soak cotton wool which we did but some got in her eye. I just read it can...

    What Breed Is My Rescue Kitty?

    Can I just ask you - we were told she is 8 months (according to the rescuer, the vet examined and went by her teeth size) but I’ve noticed she has a lot of grey hairs. Is this normal for a black kitty? Grey hairs to me normally are a sign of getting older right?

    Foster Cat Constantly Meowing

    I’m going through the same thing at the moment with a rescue. She wanders about meowing even though she has been fed, watered and cuddled. Can’t figure out what she wants but I’m guessing she is just chatting. The first day she cried cried cried all evening we didn’t think we could last it but...
