    Neutering behavior?

    Hi guys! I neutered my 7mo baby boy 6 days ago, and everything went smoothly. In 24 hours, he was back to playing, eating, running, drinking, just like his old self. The problem is... he’s still hormonal!! How is that possible? There’s a female cat that I sometimes see outside our house, and...

    Cat Herpes?

    Ohh I didn’t know that! He’s always had it, no flare-ups or anything like that. No respiratory issues Either. I didn’t purchase him from a breeder, I adopted him from a girl who didn’t want him anymore. I think she bought him from a pet store, she didn’t give me any details on the pet store or...

    Indoor/Outdoor Cat stopped using litter box

    I would actually suggest locking him indoors for a few days (even if it means you will have to endure his screams for a bit). The ultimate question is this: did he develop a preference for peeing/pooping outside? Or does he actively hate his litter box because of some other reasons? Many cats...

    Black Dots on Fur, No Itching

    Probably fleas dirt or acne, both can be solved easily so no need to worry :) Get him an anti-flea product (just in case), I administer a dose on my cat once a month even if he doesn't have fleas (Revolution or something similar). It's so easy to use, and prevents fleas, ear mites, worms...

    Ticks on cats

    I would also suggest a topical treatment for Ticks. There are many in the market that could help you out. You can find Revolution (or a similar product) at virtually any vet office, and they are SO easy to administer (many videos available online, or a vet can show you) and you only need to...

    Cat Herpes?

    I found this picture from when he was around 4 months old. You can kind of see the orange crust a bit? It’s not too prevalent, but it’d definitely there on a daily basis.

    Cat Herpes?

    Hi Guys! My baby boy is a 7mo British Shorthair (he might be a mix, I'm not sure) and I've had him for 5 months now. He's always had stains on his eyes, and I never thought much of it. I was told that British Shorthairs, Persians, and other breeds tend to get teary eyes because of the shape of...

    How much do you spend monthy on your cat for litter and food?

    I live in Lebanon, and owning pets over here is basically considered a luxury. Everything is so overpriced, it’s insane. I use Tidy Cats as litter (6 Kg lasts about 1.5 months), which costs about 13$. I use Royal Canin dry kitten food (lasts 28 days) and that’s a whopping 50$ over here. I...

    Neutering food

    We have the sterilized food in Lebanon as well :) I think when he's about a year old, that's a good choice. For now, keep him on Kitten-specific food, but be mindful of the quantity and try to regularly play with him so that he burns some energy and doesn't gain too much weight. Wet food is...

    Kitten biting and kneading

    Hi all! I often catch my 6mo baby boy in a weird position. He’s on top of a blanket, biting it, kneading, purring and his back is a little arched (pics below). Does anyone know why he might be doing that? He sometimes meows as well (which is weird cause he’s usually very quiet), I’m almost...

    Kitten Skin Infection? Urgent Help!

    It actually looks like I won't be able to make it to the vet anytime soon... But his mouth looks much better. I'm using Rose Water and I'll look into some chamomile tea too. I wish I knew what caused this, it would make the treatment so much easier. For now, I'm cleaning his mouth with a clean...

    Kitten Skin Infection? Urgent Help!

    You think it's an allergic reaction? Could it be ringworms or something similar? I also want to mention I administered a dose of revolution on him on April 8th. I haven't changed his diet, but he's been going outside to the garden a lot more in the past 3-4 weeks (I temporarily moved to my...

    Kitten Skin Infection? Urgent Help!

    Hi Guys, My baby boy (6mo male) seems to have developed a skin infection of some sort? My issue is that I can't take him to the vet right now, due to my country's situation (Coronavirus curfews and unstable political situation). We're not allowed to leave our house except in specific timings...

    Kitten Neuter Care

    Hi guys! My male kitten just turned 6 months! :) And it's now time to neuter him. I'm so scared for the little fella. Do you guys have any tips for what to do before/after the operation? Any advice you can give me? So far all I've got based on research is "don't feed him the night before" and...

    Kitten won't eat alone

    Why do you dislike RC? Our animal shelters use it and say that it's the recommended brand for cats. I moved the food into the kitchen, he seems to be eating more often now. He drinks a lot of water regularly, so I don't think he's dehydrated. Which canned food brand do you recommend? And how...

    Kitten won't eat alone

    Hello friends! I have a 4.5 months old kitten (adopted him when he was 2 months old), and we still have trouble feeding him. He eats Royal Canin for British Shorthair (dry food). My issue is that he still doesn't go to eat on his own. Even when it's been a while since his last meal, I have...

    Kitten still pees on the floor

    Hello All! I just wanted to let you know that a month after I adopted my baby, he has stopped peeing on the floor! :) Our last pee accident was 1 month and 1 week ago, and it's safe to say that the little one has stopped the "nastiness" ;) The thing that fixed this issue was pretty...

    Kitten still pees on the floor

    He has 2 boxes, but in two different rooms. He poops and pees in both of them, but still goes to the floor sometimes. I'm not sure it's a dislike of the litter or a dislike of pooping and peeing in the same one (since he already does poop and pee in the same one, just not all the time). He was...

    Kitten still pees on the floor

    Do you think? But he is using both his litter boxes.. One of them is clay-based (unscented, unclumping), basically like normal rocks from outside. He uses it, AND he uses his other litter as well (traditional scented and clumping), but he still does it on the floor sometimes as well. I'm not...
