    2nd urinary obstruction - is blood work/ urinalysis worth it?

    Summary of what has been going on with my boy and his urinary obstruction. A little over two weeks ago we had to bring him to the emergency vet because he was completely obstructed and having no output at all. They resolved it and determined it was a urinary crystal. They gave him IV fluids...

    Dry to wet food transition - ok to start with inexpensive food?

    Hi! I am preparing to switch from dry to wet food. I am anticipating that it may take up to several months to make the switch as I have a very stubborn boy who loves his dry food and did not take to wet food in the past. Knowing this, I am anticipating having to waste a good amount of wet food...

    Switching my cat over to wet food… is wet food best served on a plate/ regular bowl or an elevated bowl?

    My boy Remi recently had a urinary obstruction caused by a urinary crystal. I know how important diet is in terms of prevention. I actually tried to switch him over to wet food a year ago before all this happened but he was quite stubborn and I caved after two weeks. I’ve done lots of research...

    Cats not eating since getting new puppy

    We just brought home our new puppy yesterday. Our two cats are still adjusting. One of our cats is fine with being around Ollie (new pup). Our other cat is pretty scared and has mostly been hiding. We have not forced any introductions. We are just letting the cats adjust at their own pace. All...

    Can certain foods decrease shedding? Healthy food brands please :)

    My boy Remi is the king of shedding. My girl RiRi rarely sheds. They eat the same food but I think his specific breed probably just sheds more. I am looking for some more healthy food options to feed. I have heard that certain foods can help with skin health and maybe even shedding (he also has...

    Cats claws getting stuck

    I have 2 cats. When we first got them we clipped their nails but do not anymore. We have three scratchers. My boy uses them a little more often than my girl. I would say my boy gets his claws stuck from time to time but my girl gets hers stuck all the time (she is always kneading). We adopted my...

    Question about play time and treats for shy cats

    I was reading some articles on this site about shy cats and things you can do to make them feel more comfortable and move towards slow progress. One of the things I saw someone mention was play therapy, basically just taking time to play with your cat. This makes sense to me because if I don't...

    Improving my relationship with my cat

    I have two cats, Remi since he was a kitty and RiRi whom we adopted. She is between 3-5 is what we were told. We’ve had her for a little over 6 months. My relationship with Remi is easy, we’ve always had trust, he is never scared of me and I’ve never seen him hiss or do so much as swat at me...

    Do I need to bathe my cat after she was outside?

    Long story short - we came close to losing our girl tonight. I am so relieved that she is back in our house safe and sound. I feel very badly as I took her outside to brush her (she sheds a lot and I thought it would be nice to be able to brush her outside without the cleanup). This was a big...

    Possibility that cat is overweight (Siberian/Scottish Fold)

    Hi! My boy Remi is almost 9 months old. He is a Siberian/Scottish Fold mix. When I initially posted about Remi I had some questions about why the breeder had bred those two breeds. After getting Remi I came to find that those were the only two cats she had and that she was a new/immature...

    Cat wakes us up every morning with loud meowing

    We have two cats, one of our cats is quiet and meows every once in awhile and our other cat (RiRi) is super vocal. There may not be a lot that can be done about this but I was just wondering if anyone else had experience with a very vocal cat. Since I have allergies we don't let the cats sleep...

    Food Storage Question

    Hi. We have recently purchased 2 different big bags of cat food. One for our kitten and one for our cat. Our kitten is 8 months and we are still giving him kitten food since they typically say to give it for the first year. We usually just keep the food stored in the bags they come in but these...

    Just a quick litter box question. My relatives are coming to stay with us for a few days and will be here tomorrow. One of the litter boxes is in the guest bedroom that they will be sleeping in. The litterbox is just in the corner of the room and our other litter box is in the corner of our...

    Cat does not like my partner

    Hello! We've had our second cat, RiRi, for about 3 months now. I know this is still a fairly short amount of time but thought that she would have warmed up to my partner a little bit more. I'm sure she is just taking her sweet time which is fine with me but I was wondering if anyone had any...

    When should I cut my new cats nails? (She is shy)

    Hello! I've had RiRi for 2 weeks since adopting her. I had to do the reintroduction process between her and my other cat because a few days after the initial process they were both hissing at each other and clawing. Its been about four days since the reintroduction process and she is still in...

    Officially Introducing Our New Girl RiRi

    It’s been 6 days since we got RiRi! We have seen her come out of her shell more and more! I think Remi is slightly holding her back when it comes to exploring and being around us. I can tell that RiRi wants to be around us and when we keep her in her “base” camp/room she will meow for awhile and...

    Opinions on Adopting a Second Cat

    Our kitty Remi is about 5-6 months old. We love him so much and he's brought us so much joy! We have been soaking up the last 4 months of watching him grow and have gotten so close to him! We have briefly mentioned getting another cat but did not actually act on it until seeing this beautiful...

    Eight Week Old Kitten Not Eating Food Yet

    Hello! We have had our kitten for about 24 hours now and he has not eaten anything. The breeder also said she was having trouble getting him to eat. He is doing good, very active at times, and then takes some short naps. I have tried feeding him wet food 3 times today. Im not sure if the flavor...

    Officially Introducing my first Cat/Kitten

    Hi everyone! I have made a few post on this website during the past week or so as my childhood dream of finally getting a cat has come true! I lived with family members who had cat and dog allergies so I never had a furry pet growing up. If anyone happened to stumble across my last post, you...
