    Cat Still Smells Like Urine No Matter What I Do

    I have a long-haired Ragdoll. He's overweight and isn't able to clean his own rear himself (no diet I try has been working for him given he has to eat a very special type of food for his joints and kidneys). Lately his backside smells like urine constantly, and no amount of cleaning I do makes...

    Foul Smell Emitting from Cat's Rear

    My cat is overweight and old, not to mention too ornery for the vet to groom him. So often times I'm the one cleaning Sam's backend. Not that big a deal, but over the past few days, I've noticed a smell fouler than poop back there, and then noticed a 'wet' imprint on the floor that smelled...

    Twitching Face, Ears, and Front Paws/Whining When Eating

    My 15-year-old baby, Sam, just came back from the vet. He was having his teeth checked because he whines when he eats, and because his front paws looked as though they were trying to 'give out' when he stood or sat. The exam came back that Sam's teeth were ultimately good, and he only had one...

    Depression after sugery

    Does anyone have experience with needing to isolated their cat after surgery. Or specifically, a cat's behavior with it? Tomorrow is Sam's last day of isolation after having surgery six weeks ago. I'm happy to let him back out with the rest of the pack and to give him more room to roam. And...

    Jumping Off the Bed Four Weeks After Surgery

    I'm horribly afraid that I have screwed up. My cat had back surgery four weeks ago to correct Cauda Equina. The vet told me he needed to be isolated and no jumping or climbing for six weeks. This weekend was a little over the fourth week and my cat has been practically frantic to get back on...

    Help with an E-Cone

    My cat, Sam, had surgery this Tuesday to correct his Cauda Equina. He came home yesterday with the instructions to wear an e-cone for two weeks. I had assumed the vet/vet tech would put the cone on. In fact, at one point they told me he was wearing it and was not happy. However, when I went to...

    Clingy while sick?

    So my cat, Sam, has been having health issues for the last few months. He's been having some bad arthritis flare-ups and been put on a number of medicines (I won't go into detail as I've already bugged people in another post about that). Sam is normally mean and independent, but he is not...

    Cat Worse After Going to the Vet

    I just took my 15-year-old cat to the vet last Thursday. He has been suffering from megacolon and arthritis and has been whining when he eats. Poop had also started to cake onto his butt from his long hair, and none of the vets in my area could either help him or take him, so I went to a new vet...

    Upset Stomach

    One of my furry babies has had an upset stomach since Friday. He pooped a lot of mucus yesterday and threw up the can I gave him. When I woke up this morning, he had pooped all over the house, and he's been crying all morning. I think I might know what the culprit is. Friday he ate two cans...

    Poop Stuck in Fur

    I've read a lot of tips on this issues, but none of them take into account a fussy cat, or a sick one. My 15-year ragdoll is starting to get old, and he has arthritis in his lower spine/back legs that keeps him on pain medicine daily (started two weeks ago). He also has megacolon. So I'm no...

    Thelazia in Cats

    A month of so ago I noticed what looked like a long string in my cats eye. I thought it was just that; a piece of string, but the longer I looked at it, it didn't seem to have any fibrous material to it. It just looked clear and raised. So I did the one thing no one should; I google searched it...

    Prevent/Stop Cat Aggression

    My cat, Grimm, has always been kind of a bully to my other three cats, but it all seems to have gotten worse since we moved (back in November 2019). They are mostly civil during the day with the exception of my oldest cat, Sam, hissing whenever Grimm walks by. Every now and again he will swat at...
