    Two incredibly overweight cats who don't like playing with toys. What's a good diet for them?

    I'm babysitting my mom's two cats and have come to the realization that they're incredibly overweight. I'm talking 20+ pounds. One of them knocked over my cat tree trying to get onto it. Another is out of breath just jumping onto the couch. I'm a bit shocked at how much weight they've put on...

    Cat got a wound in July, wound closed and fur began growing in. Today there's a huge wound in the same spot. What's going on?? *Warning pictures*

    Something attacked Kira in July. I don't know the exact date, but it was likely after the 15th. He's very touchy and doesn't like to be handled, so I've mostly been hands off with it. I've kept an eye on it since it's so obvious and easy to see. The wound closed and fur began growing in so I...

    Dirty ears or mites?

    I unexpectedly rescued three kittens and their mama yesterday. They were abandoned on a large wooded property that butted up against two major roads. When I saw them they were running in traffic so home they came. I've been letting them decompress and kept them isolated from my other cats for...

    Can another cat cause a wound like this?

    Lately my cats have been coming inside with scratches. Nothing major. A small scab on the ear, a claw poke on the face. I figured it was a neighborhood cat trying to establish turf. It's happened before. I never heard any fighting to be sure, though. Then yesterday I was petting Kira and found...

Becca on the other hand, has had issues since the day I got her. She's now... 7? 8? And is the same way. She's VERY overweight. She...

    Suggestions for a budget friendly cat food I can buy in 12lb bags for a multicast household?

    The food I've been feeding my eight furry felines for years has begun to make them sick. Since two of my cats are on a special diet anyway I figure I might as well upgrade the rest of the herd. I free feed since each cat likes to eat at different times. We also have quiet a bit of land so you...

    It It Possible For A Cat To Be Too Active And Lose Too Much Weight?

    Woof is 3 years old now. Over the winter he put on about 3 pounds. He's now lost that and more. He's very, very active. In order to get out of our back yard he has two options. He can either hike up a ladder and jump down onto an AC, or jump the fence on the other side. Either one involves a lot...
