A bit puzzled by this behavior and would appreciate any help... None of my other cats do this. He eats two full cans per day (morning and evening). He used to eat three but that doesn't matter because he does his post-food howl no matter how often or little he eats. His build is lanky/long and...

Yes, she looks visibly much happier with a wet-only diet! I feed her multiple cans of wet food per day and she doesn't look bloated ever and she stopped being aggressive about food. That said, unfortunately, for one of my older boys (8 months+), he only likes to eat dry food. I tried all sorts...

Hi, sorry for very late response. Since receiving your feedback, I switched her diet to wet only and she has stopped bloating up. She was dewormed and her poop checked, as were all my other kitties. It looks like having a wet-only diet is the right way for her, and she can eat as much as she...

I should point out I want her to get as much nutrition as possible.

Hi, I want to know if I should restrict my kitten's diet. She only eats a little more than my other kittens but she's the only one who looks "chubby". The other kittens are a perfect healthy weight. In some poses she looks very big, in others she looks very normal. I just don't want her to...

Thank you for answering silkenpaw! I took her to the vet and the vet said she was totally fine and it's probably just food marks because she's a voracious eater. I asked them about the bloated bellies that she always gets and they didn't see anything wrong with it (she took the extra step to...

I've avoided messing with it because if it is acne, it's generally advised not to "pop" blackheads (at least in humans). I would feel uncomfortable pulling things out... what if it hurts her? or gets bacteria in it, etc? And yes it does not come off with gentle wet cloth rub :(

Kitten's upper lip has something growing under the fur -- looks brown, and area increasing with time. And there's something oozing out sometimes -- like the brown strands come out and protrude from below and through the white fur. From afar it looks like she's getting a mustache. Could it be...

Tomorrow at the new clinic I will ask them to drain fluids then. The current doctor said that until he develops eye issues or neurological issues, we can keep alleviating the symptoms. But after those develop (if they do) she suggested putting him down is the best case scenario. (I don't want...

Hello, I can't seem to come to terms that my kitten might be fatally ill. He's been lethargic, small fever (103.5), weight loss, weak appetite, and X-ray showed fluid in abdomen. Doctor immediately suggested the likelihood of FIP and when the bloodwork returned, she said that it's all in...

Forgot to mention that I used a gate before the face-to-face for a few days -- I think it worked well. I would sometimes feed them on either side, and always give treats to the boys if they were behaving well. Ashes did seem to lose a bit of an appetite ever since Tofu got here but we have a...

So it's been 5 days since the post and I've let them have three or four short face-to-face quality times so far. I feel as though it's going really well but I'm not sure if I'm reading the signs correctly. Shadow hisses very little at her now -- only when she gets really close or when she sort...

I was wondering the same thing too! 5 foster homes seems way too much for a poor 8 weeks baby. On the bright side, she's very cuddly and loving as a result of it I think. At first I thought it was good they played under the door, but she bled from her paw (movement otherwise unimpaired and she...

Oh and I forgot to mention that while I was inside the sanctuary bathroom with Tofu, Ashes must have approached it from the other side and they immediately played footsie over the crack. But Tofu got hurt within a split second. Ashes' claw must've stung her between her 'toes'. I now put a thick...

Hi all! I've been a bit anxious about my decision. I adopted a new kitten a few days ago and she's a total sweetheart. From the looks of it she was separated from her mom very early on because she's been to 5 foster homes before I got her. She seems to treat humans very positively and also...
