    Retransitioning an indoor cat to home life after 30+ day escape in the wild

    @susanm9006 Looks super cool. I'll place an order and try it out. Before he went missing he was slightly chubby. He's pretty sedentary other than daily playtimes. I try to keep him mostly wet food for hydration reasons mostly.

    Retransitioning an indoor cat to home life after 30+ day escape in the wild

    @susanm9006 That sounds ideal! Do you know of any particularly tricky ones? I don't mind adding a little kibble to his daily diet if it'll last for a while, but I'd like to avoid putting kibble in a toy just to have him immediately eat it all and want more.

    Retransitioning an indoor cat to home life after 30+ day escape in the wild

    So 2 weeks in food is still a stresspoint. He's been eating paper whenever he can get his paws on it. I've been trying to keep all paper out of his access, but inevitably someone puts down a pile of mail or leaves some sheet music out. Anyone have any good advice for dealing with pica? He also...

    Chipped Canine Care

    Thank you for the comprehensive reply! Hearing about others' experiences helps reduce my anxiety about it. Did you have to remove the top and bottom tooth? Did the tooth removal impact feeding or health long term? It seems like such an important tooth and I hate the thought of him losing it.

    Retransitioning an indoor cat to home life after 30+ day escape in the wild

    Thank you all for the feedback and reassurances. Boy is spending 80% of the day cuddled up near or on me, which I am A-OK with right now (he scared me!) He's spending a lot more time than normal grooming and getting himself clean and soft. Food is still a desperate situation, but luckily he...

    Retransitioning an indoor cat to home life after 30+ day escape in the wild

    Thank you! I would like to try and keep him on wet food, but an interactive kibble feeder is a good backup plan

    Chipped Canine Care

    My cat's right canine is minorly chipped. Vet recommended we monitor it and then extract if/when it gets infected. She made it sound like infection is an inevitable eventuality, but I'm wondering if theres anything like teeth brushing or rinses that could help prevent the need to extract. Root...

    Retransitioning an indoor cat to home life after 30+ day escape in the wild

    My 4 year old baby boy escaped from home after a move and was missing for 5 weeks. Miraculously he is back with me now and the vet gave him a clean bill of health other than some flees and weight loss. Since bringing him home 2 days ago, I've noticed some behavior changes. At feeding time or...
