    Shelter cat is broken and super depressed

    Honestly, leaving for the vet and then coming back to the same space probably really helped her realize that this is a place that might be permanent. She still won't trust it yet, but doing a scary thing and then having something familiar to return to can make a mean a lot. My Lexi had different...

    Alternatives to Fortiflora?

    @FeebysOwner I only mean that I'm familiar with most of the common suggestions as well as some tricks of my own, and they're a no go for this particular cat. She is very picky about texture and she chews her food pretty thoroughly, so hiding a pill in any kind of solid treat doesn't work. I can...

    Alternatives to Fortiflora?

    My cat Lexi is a beast to pill, but luckily we (her and I, that is) worked out a system that was working for us. If I crushed her fluoxetine, mixed it with Fortiflora to mask the taste, and mixed it into a little food, she would just eat it! That worked for several months, but she's recently...

    How do you feed freeze dried treats?

    Usually as is, for me. Hydrating is better for them, but mine won't eat them once that way. And yeah, if you're going to do dry, you might need to break them into pieces.

    Cat Obsessively Licks My Face

    I have tried substituting fingers. He'll sometimes lick them a couple times and then return to the face. I do groom him back. Assuming you mean petting him? A brush is catnip to my older girl, she'd barge in. I do have an unopened toothbrush, so I could try that! >_< I didn't even think of...

    Kitten acclimating

    You could also try letting them into just a few rooms at a time, if the home allows it. Expand from just the bathroom, but not the whole home yet. New spaces can be overwhelming, especially for a cat who's already a little nervous, so going a little at a time can help them adjust. But not all...

    Cat Obsessively Licks My Face

    Hello everyone, long time no post! This is Bodhi. I've had him and his sister since they were three months old. Bodhi is lovely and friendly and playful and that's all well and good. He'll be two in January! The problem (so to speak) is that he is obsessed with licking faces. This is not a new...

    Possible Vitamin D3 and/or Melatonin Ingestion

    Woke up this morning. Cat had knocked over two bottles of OTC supplements at sometime during the night. Vitamin D3 1000IU and melatonin 1mg. I have literally no idea if she actually got into any of them. I picked up the pills and didn't see any kind of teeth marks (she's a cat who chews her...

    What nicknames do you have for your cat?

    Emily was Sweet Emily, Emilina, or Em-cat (MCAT, geddit?). Tiger was usually just Tiger, but occasionally Miss 'Ger. Jackie is Jacks or Jack-cat. Julie is Lady Juliet of Everhope (she's "ever hopeful" that we'll let her outside unsupervised, never gonna happen) or the Princess. Lexi is...

    Breed ideas? For a childs school report

    Yeah, I didn't think there was a chance they were pb ragdoll, just that there might be some ragdoll in them. They look similar but not identical, and the behavior matches. Huh, I thought Turkish van was just the coloration, I didn't know there was an actual breed that the color was named for...

    is my family abusing/neglecting my cats?

    If you post some pictures of the lumps, we might be able to guess if they're skin tags, lipomas, or something serious. (With the obvious caveat that we are not vets and that the only way to be sure is to bring them to a vet.) But maybe we can help you narrow down what they might be, so that you...
