My 3 year old Oriental Shorthair named Grembly has developed a new habit. She will lick the tip of her tail until it’s all moist. I took her to the vet & they said nothing appeared to be broken, there’s no dermatitis or dandruff, and she lets you touch her tail with no issue. No hair loss or...

Hello all, My 3 yr old Oriental Shorthair named Grembly has suddenly developed an odd habit. Onset was about 2 days ago. Grem has been randomly licking the tip of her tail, saturating it in her sticky saliva. I of course find out abt it when I go to pet her & get a handful of spit. No hair has...

I recently had some major changes in my life & I’m worried it’s negatively impacted one of my cats. A little background: Grembly came into my life when she was 4 months old. From the very beginning, she was always wanting to be with me. She’d follow me all over the apartment, wanting to be...

I have 2 Oriental Shorthair cats, aged 3 & 4. Back in December of 2020, I lost my job b/c of COVID/budget cuts & only recently was able to find work. The position I accepted is with the county, so I’m moving there on 7/1/21. Ever since I started packing, both girls have been acting weird. Ember...

I have two cats, each with their own digestive concerns to contend with. Up until very recently I was feeding them both the same food. Ember is on a prescription food diet & Grembly was just eating whatever her sister ate. Now, Grembly has developed an issue of her own & is also on Rx pet food...

So I'm getting a bit frustrated with play time with my 2.5 yr old Oriental Shorthair (OSH) named Grembly. Before getting an OSH, I did plenty of research and was well aware this breed needs plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime featuring different toy options. So, yeah.....she wants...

I have 2 beautiful fur children whom I absolutely adore & who appear to be closely bonded with me. Ember is 3 yrs old & Grembly just turned 2. Both are pure bred Oriental Shorthairs. So I’m having a scary issue that I’m hoping to get some advice on. When I get up go into another room in my...

Having a slight issue with my 2 yo female Oriental Shorthair named Grembly. I noticed that after Grembly poops, sometimes there’s a tiny drop of poop still on her anus after she exits the litter box. Not to be gross but it’s like a teeny tiny Hershey kiss. Unfortunately, I found this out the...

My 1 yr old Oriental Shorthair named Grembly has developed a new behavior that’s driving me nuts. She figured out how to open the closet doors in my apartment & then wreaks havoc once inside. All 5 of the closets have the same doors (see pic - sorry it’s sideways) & there is a closet in every...

Cat: Grembly - 1 year old oriental shorthair Appetite: normal Water intake: normal Using litter box appropriately Behavior: normal Approximately 2 months ago, I changed up my cats wet food (I have 2 cats but the other is fine). I was feeding them Blue Buffalo Wilderness grain-free wet food and...

Last Friday, I gave my nearly 1 year old Oriental Shorthair named Grembly her monthly dose of Revolution. Grembly received her first dose of Revolution from her breeder before I even got her at around 4 months old, so this was not a new thing. About 45 minutes after I gave her the Revolution, I...

As humans, a certain level of sun exposure can be advantageous for overall physical & psychological well-being. I’m wondering if this applies to cats as well? During the summer months, my apartment can get *oppressively* hot even with AC & in an effort to minimize this, I recently hung blackout...

I recently noticed that one of my oriental shorthairs is licking/sucking on the others ears. When they snuggle together, I’ll look over & Ember will practically have Grembly’s whole ear in her mouth sucking on it! Grembly doesn’t seem to care so I don’t think it’s hurting her, but I’m worried...

Assuming the cat is ‘normal’/healthy with no special needs and price isn’t an issue, how does one go about choosing the right food for them? Do certain breeds do better with specific foods?

Hello all, My name is Jenn & I have two Oriental Shorthairs. Grembly, who is 9 months old & I’ve had since she was 4 months, & Ember who is two years old & I adopted her in March 2019. I’ve had cats my whole life & these two are by far & away the most loving, intelligent kitties I’ve ever met.

I have two female oriental shorthair cats, one is 2 years old & the other is 9 months old. I started to notice recently that both girls occasionally have episodes of what looks like asthma. At first I thought they were going to vomit, but nothing ever comes up when they do this & the noise they...
