Our black female cst (spayed) 11 yrs old had her vet check up a few months ago and all was great. She just recently got this patch on her face and it doesn't seem to hurt her but it's not going away, is it worth putting her through the stress of a vet visit?

My cat Jellybean went in for dental cleaning and exam end of March and was 12.5 lbs, blood work was good. Hes been having diaherra he is on hill z/d wet and dry has multiple water bowls and a fountain. Besides the diaherra he acts fairly normal. At the vet Monday he was 10ish lbs, the vet did a...

My cat has been aloof after a vet visit last Thursday and then on Friday my partner and I had a fight with raised voices. The cat went to the vet for diaherra from an allergic reaction to something so hes on the hydrolyzed food and I cannot win his affection back with treats. I think where I...

My cat is 2 and neutered he gets a lot of playtime with a cool down session and treat reward. He has 2 cat towers and several foraging toys as well as cat kickers. He will approach my arm when I'm reading in bed I try to move it but sometimes he gets me. I relax the arm wait until I can...

Hi, It's month 14 of cat introductions (Insert confetti canon here). Sorry for the constant posting but maybe fresh perspectives will help. Brief recap: 1. Ruthie is 9ish (fixed female) and Jellybean (fixed male) is now 2. We got Jellybean as Ruthie was mourning the loss of her buddy, pulling...

Brief synopsis of other threads: August 2020 - Brought 1 year old Jellybean home - male, neutered. We have a 7-9 year old cat named Ruthie, she's the resident cat. Her buddy died in 2020 and she was acting really sad so we talked to our vet and our vet said, "Maybe a second cat isn't a bad...

My poor cat had to go for an abdominal ultrasound today so that means they had to shave his belly. What can I do to make sure hes comfortable while the hair grows back

Hi, Our 1.5 year old male has a habit of finding a hand - for example if I'm sleeping in bed and passed out with a hand draped out, he'll grab it and start kick/biting it like it's a kick stick. Here's the thing - we don't use our hands to play with him, EVER, we use wand toys, we try to...

Hi, Our cat is going through an allergy journey - we're going to start a special food diet as recommended by our vet starting as soon as our buddy's stomach settles down and slowly introduce it. He got checked out two days ago - not fleas, stool sample is in with the vet, I'm also going to deep...

Long story short, our 1.5 yr old male kitty had some sort of mouth ulcer and wasn't eating his dry food consistently so we had about 4 weeks of vet visits, visiting a dental specialist and now he's fine (sort of, they think it's allergies so we are working on that), but we just came back and...

Our vet saw Jellybean Saturday for basically a small bump on the inside of his lower lip, thinks it is eospholic granuloma but not from fleas bc he's an indoor cat. Gave him a steroid shot and an antibiotic. She wants to wait to see if he improves after 4 weeks. He does seem a bit better but...

Hi, Just curious if anyone uses a Relaxopet system for their pets? We use feliway musicforcats rescue remedy etc. But it never hurts to have more ideas in the arsenal.

I'm sorry if people are sick of me posting, heck I'm sick of me posting, long story short, we're in month 8 of cat intros and we've moved on to visuals because at this point, it's been 8 months and we've had two behaviorists - one of whom's a vet say it's worth a shot. Long storm short 1.5 year...

We have visual contact finally based on advice from here and our behaviorist. We have a blanket up and are doing this slowly. So far our 10 yr old grumpy lady hisses and pistures but doesn't do anything. The 1.5 yr old backs off immediately. As much as I would love a more happy zen process ypu...

Looking for some recommendations/alternatives to the SmartCat/Pioneer Pet Peek and Play Toy Box, trying to get my boy into foraging behavior and he's getting better at the easier puzzles, I like this because it is wood and sturdy so if anyone has any suggestions for ones that are on the market...

Hi, My 2 year old boy has had consistent urination but it's a little darker than I'd like it to be, I guess? Does anyone have any tips on how to spot crystals/blood in traditional clumping litter? He is using the box just fine and I AM going to collect a sample to the vet (using NOSORB) for a...

So my experience after about 4-5 cats is that they are creatures of habit but can also be little weirdos, sometimes they'll switch where they are sleeping on us. Case in point, we had a bonded pair where one went with my and one went with my partner at nap time. My latest boy has gone from...

My in law believes there is a magic procedure by which you can sedate two cats to introduce them to each other and when they wake up they will get along bc they smell similar. Has anyone heard of this before? It sounds bananas and made up.
