    Opinions on toxic house plants

    So obviously, there are certain plants I will not keep in the house; poinsettias, lilies, hyacinth, daffodils, and other plants that even the pollen on your cats paws can create an issue. But what about other plants like aloes that are only dangerous if ingested? I ask because I realized a few...

    Is this Napoleon complex?

    Okay, so on monday my cat viciously attacked me. I know it was out of fear and wasn't his fault, but he bit me really badly and I have an infection in my hand. This was by far the worse damage he's done, but it hasn't been the first time. He does have play aggression which I've been trying to...

    Extremely dominant, or very sexually frustrated?

    I have a 2 and a half year old Siberian cat, he was neutered at 10 months old (older than I would have liked but with covid, it was difficult to get appointments). When he was a kitten, he liked getting frisky with anyone and anything that sat still for more than a few minutes. Very shortly...

    Cat diagnosed with Pemphigus

    Hello all. About a week ago, I noticed my cat scratching his ear more than normal. So I kept an eye on it, thinking it was just some dry skin as it's winter and very dry right now. But then almost overnight, his ear went bald and looked dry and irritated. I thought it may be ear mites or some...

    My year old male cat, who is nutered, has all of a sudden started attacking me. It has slowly progressed and has gotten worse and worse over the past few months. He started out with biting ankles as I walked by, which evolved into him stalking me around waiting for the chance to pounce. When I...

    Help! First time with a kitten!

    Hello everyone! A quick warning that this is going to be a long post as I have a lot of questions! I just got my very first kitten Sunday, and he's 12 weeks old.

    Does anyone feel guilty getting a new kitten after the loss of a cat?

    Hello, I wasn't sure which thread to post this in. About two months ago, I lost my 4 year old cat to PKD, I only had her for about a year before she was diagnosed. Recently, I've really been craving the companionship of another cat. I'm moving away from home in a few weeks and I knew that the...

    Is it possible I grieved my cat's passing before she was even gone? And how soon is too soon for another cat?

    Hello all, I wasn't sure which thread to put this in. My poor, sweet, Fiona was put down two weeks ago due to PKD, a genetic kidney disorder. I'm just feeling a little strange because after she passed, I felt so strangely at peace. I think this is because I knew I would be putting her down at...

    Rest in peace my sweet kitty

    Yesterday afternoon, I made the decision to put my Fiona down. She was only 4 years old, but was diagnosed with PKD last month. She had no function in her one kidney, and very little left in the other. She was sent home to live out her remaining days with me. I did extensive research and started...

    Am I making the right decision to put my cat down?

    I wasn't sure which section to post this in, and I know that ultimately this is a decision only I can make, but it is such a hard one. I adopted my kitty a year ago, she is now 4, and she was diagnosed a month ago with PKD. At first she had a lot of good days with some bad days thrown in, but...

    Kitty with PKD and when to stop listening to the vet

    I know this title probably makes a lot of people cringe :lol: but my vet, despite how wonderful he has been through this process, really doesn't seem to think my PKD kitty is going to last much longer. She came home from being hospitalized for 8 days a week ago and I wasn't told what special...

    "your cat has to go!"

    Hello all, I know the first thing to do when a cat starts peeing outside of the litter box is to rule out a health issue but I know for a fact this is a behavioral issue. There is an un-nutered male cat in the neighborhood and we haven't been able to catch him for the past few months. Right...

    Cat peeing

    Hello all! So a few months ago I came here about my cat's pooping issue (not going in the litter box) which seems to be resolving? She's been good for two weeks now so I'm hopeful, but now, She's peed on the floor three times that I know of. I don't think it's a urinary issue because she is...

    Homemade cat treats?

    My kitty has a really sensitive stomach and even a single small, kibble sized treat can throw her digestion off and stink up my entire house. I've tried looking online but all the recipes I find have flour which definitely isn't good for my cat (or any cat, really). Right now I use a small...
