    Wart on Lip?

    I think I know what you mean @FeebysOwner! And you’re right I don’t think it’s a wart (especially after googling pictures) I will try to get a better look at it when she’s relaxed again. It doesn’t seem to be fluid filled, but it seems denser/harder than just regular surrounding tissue. It...

    Wart on Lip?

    I also forgot to mention, she is just under two years old. Seems too young to have something potentially cancerous.

    Wart on Lip?

    Has anyone seen anything like this before? I incidentally found this strange looking wart/growth on my cat’s lip today while she was sleeping on me. It doesn’t seem to be bothering her at all and she’s acting completely fine. Doesn’t look inflamed. If I hadn’t been poking around her mouth...

    How to boost my cat's appetite?

    I use Fortiflora to get my picky eater to eat her wet food. She loves the stuff. It is probiotics mixed in brewer's yeast- I think the brewer's yeast has a strong nutty/cheesy flavor that is attractive to (some) cats. Along those lines, I have read that nutritional yeast or Parmesan cheese...

    Cat Sitting Off To One Side

    (Oops I hit post before typing everything out- thanks phone) @Kieka Artemis isn't purebred, she was actually a rescue from a local kitten foster organization, the rest of her sisters were all black and her brother was grey and white. It's interesting that I see quite a lot of siamese kittens...

    Cat Sitting Off To One Side

    I recently noticed my 1.5 year old cat sits off to one side- her right. She seems to be not evenly distributing her weight between her hind paws, as if she is trying to keep weight off her left paw. I am quite certain this is not something I have observed her do in the past. But ever since I...

    New kitten bullying older cat

    Hi there! I came across this thread and it sounds very similar to my situation. I am trying to figure out whether my new kitten is being a bully to my older cat or if he is just being a kitten. @woahoshi how is Owen doing now that he is a bit older? I am curious to hear if he ever grew out of...

    Jealous New Kitten?

    :lol: I haven’t had the pleasure of rearing five year old boys yet but that is a hilarious description!! Gaston certainly fits it! He’s more than doubled in size since he’s joined us at home! I am between- “growing kittens can’t be overfed”, and my vet telling me that feeding him five 3-oz cans...

    Jealous New Kitten?

    I definitely remove him from her bowl as soon as he darts over. Unfortunately unless I am standing right in front of her eating area, by the time I get to him he has already shoved her out of the way, and managed to gorge himself on a few bites of food! The feeder eventually does close, once she...

    Jealous New Kitten?

    @Mamanyt1953 Oh he is most definitely a tireless, forever-hungry, little five-year old boy!:hyper: We have definitely been able to find some time for snuggles when both of them are happy and Gaston can find a spot to settle in. A lap and two hands put to very good use! Artemis has a particular...

    Jealous New Kitten?

    This may not be a big issue at all, but I figured I would get some input from your experiences since I am relatively new to this.:noob: Artemis is about one year old, I've had her since she was a kitten, and Gaston is our new four month old kitten- has been with us for about a month now...

    New Kitten Stealing Resident Cat's Food

    Thank you @mrsgreenjeens! I will check out that article and hopefully get her away from the free feeding. Maybe Gaston will force her away from it himself by stealing it as she grazes. I’ve been standing guard by her when I initially put down her food, to give her some time to eat in peace, but...

    New Kitten Stealing Resident Cat's Food

    Thank you for all the input! I am not too familiar with Gaston's background, except that he was fostered along with his siblings, potentially by someone who was not to experienced with fostering, or who was not able to give them as much time and attention as a regular foster would. I adopted...

    New Kitten Stealing Resident Cat's Food

    Hi All, I am new to this forum and was hoping to get a little advice on a few feeding issues I am encountering after the adoption of a second kitten. Some background: Resident Cat (Artemis) is about a year old and recently transitioned to adult cat food. She is a fairly picky eater and if...
