    Bleeding Mouth... Bit Spikey Seed Pods

    So I moved to a house with a yard and have been letting my cat play outside while I can see him through the doors to the porch while I cook. He got into playing with those spikey seed pods and was batting it around. Didn't think anything of it, but when he came inside his mouth was bleeding...

    Cat Coughing...

    Went on here to search up coughing again and saw this post. My cat Moody had his bouts of coughing fits. Went to the vet and nothing was wrong - they said asthma is something they diagnose by exclusion and I couldn't pay to get additional tests after bloodwork. His coughing subsided after I...

    Is This A Case Of Anal Sac Expressing On Its Own? Do I Need To See The Vet?

    They are firm. We went to the vet back in October because he was coughing/wheezing and I thought it could be asthma. We did bloodwork and everything and no diagnosis. The vet just said to keep an eye on him and see if anything in particular caused the coughing and I think it's over-excitement...

    Is This A Case Of Anal Sac Expressing On Its Own? Do I Need To See The Vet?

    Yeah I don’t see any scooting. He has had weird post-pooping behavior since I adopted him a few months ago but I’ve interpreted it as benign. Meowing before (I understand this as announcing) and running around after because he doesn’t like his poop. It might be a trauma-related behavior since he...

    Is This A Case Of Anal Sac Expressing On Its Own? Do I Need To See The Vet?

    My cat, Moody, has this on and off issue of a smelly bottom. However, it usually goes away after he uses the litterbox. Yesterday he leaked this smelly liquid onto my chair (while I was eating dinner nonetheless). But then he used the litterbox and now does not smell. I was reading a bit and...

    Stopped Eating Commercial Raw Mid-bag... Mysterious Reason?

    Oh he's actually very picky particularly with dry foods too. He refuses to eat most if it doesn't smell "meaty." Perhaps the Steve's vegetable content is not to his liking. EZ Complete sounds great! I'm going to order some for next month.

    Introducing Me And My Moody

    Hello! I've started threads here looking for help before and found a lot of the other threads I've read helpful but haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Vi and I live in the DC suburbs. I adopted my first baby "Mad-Eye" Moody in September 2018 and I am obsessed with taking the best care of...

    Stopped Eating Commercial Raw Mid-bag... Mysterious Reason?

    Haha Moody is a Siamese Mix too, I just got lazy with the typing. You'd use eggshells instead of bones, right? All my pics are on my phone but I just made him an Instagram account - hope this is allowed to share the link Moody (@lifeasmoody) • Instagram photos and videos

    Stopped Eating Commercial Raw Mid-bag... Mysterious Reason?

    Thanks for the advice all! For an update, I stopped by Petsmart on the way home and picked up a couple 1 oz packets of Nature's Variety Instinct boosters for a topper. He loves it and I mixed it in with the Steve's. When he was done he was screaming for more. I say screaming because he is...

    Stopped Eating Commercial Raw Mid-bag... Mysterious Reason?

    The closest specialty food store me is Kriser's. I'm new to raw and to being a cat mom (just 4 months!) so I asked the employee which was an affordable raw option and she recommended it. I've read on here that it has a high vegetable content so it's not ideal, but it comes in at under $25 for a...

    Stopped Eating Commercial Raw Mid-bag... Mysterious Reason?

    LOL he's spoiled with the variety he's already getting. He gets multiple flavors of Friskies, just that the raw comes in a huge bag! I'll continue trying to get him to finish the bag mixed with Friskies and pick up a different flavor or brand once I run out.

    Feeding Schedule !

    I've been trying to figure out my rhythm because my work schedule sometimes has me getting home after 9pm. I feed a combination of wet, raw, and dry. My most recent attempt is early when I wake up (5-6am), right before I leave for work I give him a little dry to graze throughout the day in case...

    Stopped Eating Commercial Raw Mid-bag... Mysterious Reason?

    I've been unable to find a thread about a similar situation. For background, I've been feeding my cat a combination of Steve's Real frozen raw, Crave grain free dry, and Friskies Pate (one for each meal) for about two months with no issues. I'd love to get him on a 100% raw diet but I can't...

    Tail Puffs Up - No Apparent Threats?

    I've noticed recently that my cat's tail puffs up sometimes when he's just running around, presumably just keeping himself entertained. I'm not sure if he's scared of anything as just a moment ago he was fine until he started running around. He's been doing it more recently, a couple times this...

    Play Biting For Attention

    I'll give those ideas a try. I'm also going to get rid of toys filled with catnip to see if that helps. I don't see him every getting calmed by them.

    Seems like I will have to endure biting for a while until he gets it..

    Play Biting For Attention

    Oh really? I read that wet food shouldn't be left out for more than 2 hours. The LickiMat looks great! I've been looking for a wet food puzzle. I'm working on training to get on a leash. I think that would be great to get his energy out.
