Thank you all! I used @Furballsmom recommended website and found a vet. We go tomorrow. I’m really just concerned as to why it recurs? Everything I see on the internet just says cat fights. But my girl gets the same open wound on the same spot every time. And as I said, she has never even set...

Has anyone had a cat with a recurring abscess? My 13 year old kitty has gotten an abscess on her back right hip by her tail but not an anal gland. It happens every few months. She never goes outside. Indoor only. We only have one other pet, another cat and they don’t fight. I’ve taken her to the...

I am posting on behalf of my friend, as she doesn't use the website. Despite her severe allergy to cats, she has been caring for a small female she found outside her condo one morning a couple years ago. The cat was pregnant. She cared for the cat and our other friend actually adopted the two...

she actually is the opposite. She is a very slow eater. She takes her time.Sometimes 10-15min to finish or she will walk away then come back a few minutes later. However you bring up a good point. I don’t actually know if the days she regurgitates she eats faster. I’m usually not home home when...

I have a 13 year old female calico. She seems to have eating issues. She can’t have dry food because she automatically throws it up or regurgitates it. But she also does it occasionally with her wet food. I’d say at least once a week. Not every meal or every day. Any advice on why or what to do...

Thank you all for the advice! He actually gets sooo much play. I try and play with him for a good 30mins 2x a day. And we have another cat, she’s old and doesn’t play but they still interact. He also has two electronic toys. And he goes on leashed outdoor hikes. None of it seems to curb his...

My cat seems to hate when my S.O. and I are in separate rooms. He meows and yowls and goes back and forth between us until we are in the same room together again then calms down. He will do it for hours if one of us is teleworking or playing video games or doing laundry. It’s really annoying-...

OP- its like you lived my life! I also have an older (12 year old) female calico and a younger (2 year old) male gray tabby cat who had nearly identical behaviors to your cats. The butt smacking, chasing, hissing, room blocking. What I can tell you is what I have learned from my situation. It...

I have had almost a year long "acceptance" treaty in my house. Have heart, sometimes it just takes time. Especially with younger cats, and females. Female cats are much more territorial but their play plummets as they age. I have a two year old kitty and a 12 year old kitty. The older cat came...

Her arthritis (and nerve damage from prior owner declawing) means she is actually already on long term prescription pain medication so that does help but yes she also takes dasquin. She doesn’t really have a specific spot on the floor. Really just anywhere. She will lay on a sweater or two of...

Hello fellow Kitty Kare Takers! I have a senior little lady. 12 years old with arthritis. She snuggles with me and my husband every night in our bed for warmth. But during the day she always seems cold. Her fur is cold and her little nose and ears and she is in a little ball. But for the life of...

Thank you both! I have tried again in the cheek and it’s so traumatic. I do use Wedgewood currently. That is who made the original liquid solution. Maybe I will try the gel solution. I really hate stressing her out.

Hello all! I have an old kitty on buprenorphine but I am having trouble administering. The instructions say not to give with food. It’s liquid and chicken flavored and I am supposed to plunge a syringe into her mouth 2x a day. But it’s really stressful for us both. She fights and wiggles and I...

I realize its been a couple weeks so I hope your kitty is doing much better. But in case things have not relaxed, reading through you said the new little kitty may be affecting his attitude. I too have a younger cat. 2 years old compared to my 12 year old female. They tolerate each other at...

Have you tried mental stimulation instead of all out play to entertain Helmut? My 12 year old girl is not a fan of most play, aside from one wand toy that she will chase for all of 3 minutes before she lays down. But she will meow and paw for attention out of boredom. I have discovered she loves...

Thank you for the links, I will take a look. My other cat is a young neutered 2yr old male. Very social and happy go luck. He actually goes on walks, hikes, camping, and vacations with us. He gets regular visits with my siblings dogs and cats. Really he just wants to be her friend. She on the...

Awe thank you! I really do love her and she is so pretty and soft. And she is a living reminder of my grandmother. We both miss her.

I unfortunately tried that method and it worked more as a deterrent than as a training technique. She is scared of the puppy pads and won’t step on them. Which is funny because her favorite thing to lay on is grocery bags! 🙈

Hello Cat People! I have a 12 year old kitty. Due to some behavior issues she lives most of the time in my master bedroom. I do have one other cat but he is never is allowed in the master bedroom, so the space is all hers. I am working with a Pet Behaviorist on trying to get the cats to live...

Mine is a walking vomiter. She voms, then walks a little, voms some more, and so on for a good 4-6 times. So myself and my little guy kitty are following behind like a train. She voms, he comes up and tries to bury it (impossible on tile floors) then I come behind to clean....and so we go. 🤭
