    Cat Always Chooses Roommates Over Me

    My cat has some past trauma with me, regarding her nail trims/caps and aggression issues. It's a long history and can be seen by simply scrolling through my old posts. I'm a college student, so I've always had roommates while living in college. It's cheaper this way, but because of my cat I've...

    Is it okay to change your cat’s name?

    Hi there! I adopted a cat almost two years ago when she was just itty bitty 4 weeks old. It took me almost 2 months to name her, and in the meantime I called her “kitty” or “my cat”. When I did name her, I named her Ophelia. For almost two years, I hardly called her by name and now I’m starting...

    Pavlovian Theory

    This is kind of a weird question, but I found these treats that my cat LOVES, but they aren't the best for her so I can't give her too many. I started giving her one to eat everytime we went to bed. Eventually, she started to come with me to bed and now she sleeps on my bed all the time! I...

    Transitioning to Scheduled Feeding

    Hi all! I mostly post in the cat behavior part of this forum because that's what I need help with the most, but they suggested something to me that I've recently started doing, but need some help. I didn't want to mess anything up this time and try something without doing research beforehand...

    Time for a cat behaviorist...

    Hi all! I’ve been posting a lot about my cat as she’s been growing up and all the problems I’ve been having with her. This is my first cat and I’m really struggling to even like her.

    Apartments & declawing

    Hi there! I'm looking for apartments for this upcoming year and most of the places state that I must have my cats declawed. Of course, I'm 100% against this. I'm wondering if it would be illegal to show him fake proof that my cats were declawed? Or if there's a way to sneak around it or...

    How Long Do You Play With Your Cat?

    Hi, I have a very energetic kitty. She's about one year old. I'm wondering what everyone's play schedules are like! Google says you should play with your cat 15 minutes twice a day, but I feel like that's not enough time. How old is your cat/s? How long do you play with your cats and how...

    Feeling A Little Unloved

    Hey, I’m wondering if anyone else has gone through something similar. I moved away from home into a place where I share a room with a roommate, and I brought my cat. She really likes my cat. And my cat really likes her. I feed her, care for her, and pay for her vet bills and all of it. I’m...

    Magnetic Screen Door

    Hi! I have a magnetic screen door that I have on my door so I can leave the door open. Opie found out that she can probably squeeze under the screen to escape. She doesn’t know that the middle part separates for us to walk through. She also hasn’t really TRIED to run under, but I don’t want her...

    Cat Doesn't Like Me, But Loves My Roommate

    I've had this cat since she was about 4 weeks old. I've had lots of issues with her that resulted in me having to give her medication. She doesn't take restraint well and doesn't like any human food. We tried a compounded medication so that it is flavored, thinking she might take that...

    Powdered Medicine

    Help! I’ve tried so many ways to hide my cat’s medicine in her food. Right now, my vet and I are in the process of finding a medication/dosage that helps with her anxiety and her biting. We’re on gabapentin 100mg capsules. We previously tried gabapentin liquid at a lower dosage. My first thing...

    Independent Kitty

    I have a 1 year old cat who was weaned too early. I’m really frustrated because she doesn’t show any signs that she even likes me. We’ve had some difficulties with her aggression, which we’ve been working on and doing super well at, but now it just feels like I have a distant cat. I’ll sit by...

    Bad Decision

    Hey I made a bad decision when I was 18 and adopted a cat without my parents permission. I would frequently go to the humane society and look at all the dogs/cats there and give them some love and after a while started to notice this cat was there for a while so I ended up bringing her home...
