    Cat Recently Started Pooping Outside Litter Box

    Kitkat is 5 years old. In the last month or so he has started pooping outside the litter box. We have 1 litter box upstairs and 2 downstairs. We got another cat about 8 months ago but they get along well even if they don't love each other. I switched to a different litter shortly before this...

    Cat Tipping Food and Water Dishes

    Hi all. About 3 months ago we got Yeti, former mouser turned VERY spoiled indoor cat. Everything is going amazing for the most part. He gets along relatively well with our resident cat, if not best friends yet. The issue is, about a month ago he started knocking the food and water dishes over...

    Would this be considered calico?

    My newest guy, yeti, seems like someone used leftover scraps to make him. I didn't notice his little splotch under his chin until after we had him a couple days. I was always told Calicos are 99% female, but my buddy certainly is tri colored. Obviously it doesn't matter either way, I'm just curious.

    Welcome Yeti

    We rescued Yeti from a family member who was using him as a mouser. He has a congenital defect that keeps his head tilted as if he is curious 24/7. For being an outdoor cat (who had access to a garage safe space at least), he is adjusting to indoor life AMAZINGLY. His only complaint is our...

    New Cat

    Hi all! This community helped me several years ago when I took in an abandoned kitten I found in my alley, named kitkat. He is now 4 years old, fat and sassy. :) Well, I'm back with another cat, lol. This one was an outdoor cat we took in to prevent him from being surrendered to the humane...

    Cat Suddenly Scared Of Entire Upper Level

    Hello, I thought maybe my 11 month old kitten was sick. He has been a VERY social, cuddly, playful guy from day 1. Then, it seemed like a switch flipped and he refused to come out of the basement rec room. When he did come upstairs, he acted VERY anxious, unsettled, etc. He seemed freaked out...

    Weird Question...tmi Maybe

    I was scooping out the litter box when KitKat came to use it (because of course). So I just do happened to be right down there as he started to poop. I noticed something looked bright red coming out. The poop itself looked normal, he didn't cry or strain. Whatever the bright red thing was, went...

    Freshpet

    Just bought a bag of freshpet from Target. It's the one in the refrig by the pet stuff. Kitkat (not quite 8 months) loves it. However.... Not sure if it counts as wet food? We do about 50/50 wet and dry. It's definitely not crunchy but not gravy-ish like the backcountry pouches we are...

    Feeding After Neuter

    Kitkat is 5 months old and had his neuter today. We dropped him off at 8 and picked up at 5. Unsure of exact time of surgery. At discharge they told us we could feed a small meal which we did (about 3/4 pouch of merrick kitten wet). Its now 9 pm and he is going crazy begging for more food. Is...

    When To Stop Free Feeding?

    KitKat is about 14 weeks old. We feed wet 2-3 times a day and keep out a bowl of dry all day, adding 1/4 cup at a time as needed. He is an eating machine! Last vet check he was 3 lbs, and is very healthy looking. But I know at some point, you are supposed to stop free feeding, right? When is...

    Moving Kitten's Litterbox

    We unexpectedly were adopted by a baby kitty who was wandering around our alley. KitKat is now almost 10 weeks old and is honestly amazing. I had cats my while childhood/early adulthood and I've never had one quite like him. He is a litterbox pro, despite being separated from mama so early...

    8 Week Old Kitten Acting Strange Aftet 1st Distemper Shot

    Title says it all. He has slept most the day. Played a bit off and on but can tell his heart really isn't in it.:frown: I've gotten him to eat maybe 1/4 can of wet food but no dry and no water. I'm a bit worried. He is currently cuddled up asleep in his carrier with his lovely when normally he...

    Maybe Off Topic

    I've been reminiscing on my life with all sorts of cats before I met my allergic husband. As kittens, we fed them a food that came in a pink milk carton looking thing. Does anyone remember what I'm talking about?? Back in the late 80s early 90s. Clearly, they don't make it anymore (tried...

    Introducing Michael Kit Kat The 1st

    1 week ago, my eldest son and his friend came running into the house to find me because they had found a kitten. When I went to investigate, I discovered this was a tiny baby kitten. We knocked on many neighbors' doors, even called the non-emergency police line. No one claimed it. I told my...
