Hey guys, need some insight here. My 4 year old has pooped outside the box 2 days in a row, but it’s kinda weird because what happens is she starts pooping in the box, then jumps out with the poop still dangling from her butt, which ends up going in a trail across the floor. For the first day...

So tonight my cat got trapped in the toilet while I was taking a shower (she snuck in, usually the door is closed) and after I realised and let her go 10mins later she apparently sat in front of the toilet door and scratched her ear really hard and long, which I’ve never seen before (my bf...

Hi, I posted here yesterday about a claw injury, and my girl Hammy has since seen the vet. Basically she has a claw on each hind paw that has split to the quick, but the vet thinks it'll heal up just fine. Instructions are to soak her paws in chlorohexidine twice a day. She gave me a topical...

As a start, I am taking my cat (Hammy) to the vet tomorrow right after work, as I don't think this is an emergency (today is a public holiday so only the emergency vet is open), but let me know if you think otherwise. My cat is leash trained, and we walk around my row of flats if the weather is...

I know the title sounds a little weird, but earlier today I was scooping the litter box and I found a short piece of thread around my cat's poop. After being horrified for a moment that she might have swallowed something dangerous, I realised the thread was sort of resting on the poop, and not...

I was clipping my cat's nails last week and noticed that some of her nails had black gunk around it, near where the nailbed meets the nail, as well as underneath the nail. I've never really paid attention to her nailbeds much as she doesn't like her nails being handled so I try to get trimming...

Basically, my cat Hammy will sometimes lick her lips even when it’s not mealtime. It’s more of a little flick of her tongue out, once, sort of like how a human licks their lips when it’s dry. It’s not super frequent, but enough for me to notice that she does it. She’s been doing this for a...

Hi, I have a question regarding sore throats and cats. Basically, my cat went for a dental cleaning on Friday and has a sore throat due to the intubation. She has a bit of a cough (she's coughed only a few times after she got home, and seems to have stopped now), her meows are hoarse and she's...

I'm a little concerned that my 3 year old cat's respiratory rate is a little on the high side, but I don't think this is a change from her usual, it appears to be the same ever since I got her 4 months back. It's just that I've actually been counting her breaths lately and it seems to be higher...

Hi, I’ve posted a little here but never really introduced myself! I adopted my girl Hammy (aged 3) from a rescue foster last September and she’s generally a gentle and affectionate girl who only gets vicious towards her toys at playtime :) However, she was sick in December with fever and...

Hi everyone, I have a three year old female cat named Hammy (adopted Sept 2018) and recently I've been wanting to improve her dental health by brushing her teeth. Tonight when I was opening her mouth to brush I noticed that her left canines (both bottom and top) were a little bit chipped - no...

My girl is 3 years old, I adopted her in September from a rescue and they told me she was a domestic medium length mix. However recently I’ve noticed that as she’s gained weight (she used to be a skinny 2.7kg only) her fur has also grown longer, especially around the ruff. This is strange to me...

I’ve actually already made an appointment to see the vet later tonight but I’m a new cat owner so if anyone has seen similar things with their cat I would be keen to hear about it! So my girl Hammy is 3 years old, and I recently adopted her from a rescue in September. She was doing well the...
