I posted recently about my not so one eyed cat the other day and going to a new vet, since are usual passed away. Both cats went on Friday afternoonfor a first visit/ yearly exam and vaccines. The previous clinic did not send over their records in time for the appointment but they had told me...

Hi everyone. It's been awhile since I last posted, but I have a new situation at hand that I need some help deciding how to best proceed. A little bit of backstory - one of my cats that I had adopted from a shelter has an ulcerated eye stye to illness when he was a kitten. I adopted him with...

You never think it'll happen to you, until it does. This last weekend was my first ever trip to the emergency vet due to urinary blockage. I apparently caught it in the earlier stages and he is currently back at home recovering but, he will need a lifetime of management. I thought I was doing a...

Post your fashionable felines here!! Cute collars/ harnesses, costumes, or just "strike a pose"! I just upgraded to walking jackets, and totally splurged after I saw these cute harnesses from an Etsy shop called "All Cats Good." Couldn't resist sharing my dapper gentlemen, Simon and Garfunkel...

Not sure if this is normal or I'm being paranoid, but I've noticed that my almost 1 yr old starts to breathe heavy after a few short minute of play. He wrestles with his "brother," acts like a normal kitten, and really gives it his all chasing the wand. He does sleep/ rest more than his...

I have a wire chewer, and I'm feeling a little worried about it. I have tubing over obvious wires, tucked away as many as I could, but somehow I forget something else or underestimate the urge to chew. It's mostly the thin wires that get chomped (like several of my phone chargers). The other...

Hi, everyone. So I've been doing a little harness training, but slacked off during the winter. Just starting to get out now on warm days, but we've had a little hiccup. My one kitty is suddenly very nervous outside. I took him out one evening and he got a little jumpy, but I didn't think it was...

How many owners here choose to microchip their cat, and why? I've had my kittens for less than a year, and I'm starting to feel like the mischievous one is getting a bit too curious at the door. I see so many missing pets on local FB posts, and my kitty's curiosity has me a little concerned...

This is random, but out of nowhere I started thinking, what exactly is the average size for a cat?? I have 2 kittens that are 11 and 12 lbs- the larger looks like "average" to me and the smaller one looks petite but is only a little smaller than him. My old man (in my profile, RIP) was a big boy...

Does anyone here use a stroller for their cats?? Ideally one that is able to fit 2 at the same time? I've been toying with the idea but I'm chronically indecisive and haven't found one that that I really liked. Simon HATES being left out when I take Funky outside on the harness, and my window...

I am working on harness training my 2 cats, at least to let them explore the yard a little. The times that I would be able to take them out, and would have the less foot traffic with dog walkers, would be around dusk. Daylight would depend on the time of year. After being out with one cat...

Hi, everyone. I started posting here after my beloved senior, Irving, passed away last year (pic in profile) and ended up acquiring 2 kittens soon After. Simon was estimated at 3.5 months at the time, and Garfunkel (Funky) was estimated around 6 months. They are now hitting the 1 yr mark, and...

Now that the weather is getting warmer, I want to get back to introducing the cats to being outside on a harness. They've grown quite a bit, so the original harnesses I had no longer fit, and it's been a few months since they've worn one. I bought one harness to see how it would fit, but I'm not...

I have 2 kittens less than a year old, with very different body types and activity levels. I know they are still doing some growing, but I'm somewhat concerned that one (orange, Funky) is becoming a chunker. He has a pouch, eats more, and is less active. He only has one eye and his "brother" is...

Another post, another cat question. Hope you all don't mind talking about cats ;) I had posted in the past about one of my kittens exclusively scratching furniture/ carpet and refusing anything else that I offered. The go-to cardboard didn't work (and gets torn up by the other cat, who REALLY...

After my 8lb tornado busted out of his soft sided duffle carrier, and breaking his nails on the borrowed hard carrier from the vet, I still haven't found a replacement that I liked. I like the soft styles, except now I'm mistrustful of him breaking through the zippers, and I don't want him...

I'm making a personal choice to attempt to reduce my usage of plastic products where I can. One of my biggest dilemmas is that I use plastic bags from the grocery store to throw away my cat's waste. I have 2 poop/pee machines less than a year old, so I can easily toss a bag once a day. Does...

I'm hoping this is the right thread to ask about this. My youngest was recently neutered (yay), but the car ride there and back was awful. He has been transported before with no issues, however it is not a common occurrence for him. The first 2x I borrowed a hard carrier, and for the 3rd trip...

I have a 6 month old and 8 mo old kittens. They graze on dry food through the day and get at least 1/2 can of wet 2x a day, sometimes 3 (depending on schedule). Since around November, I've noticed that the youngest does not finish his portion (and if promptly cleaned up by the eldest). So he's...

This morning was a first for me, and a bit alarming. My sweet little baby, approx 6 month old kitten (unaltered), appears to officially become a man/ Tom and mounted my 8 month old kitten (altered), very clearly biting his neck and humping him. Prior to this, they have wrestled and played...
