I've had to travel a lot over the last two years (for work and for family matters), and as such have had to rely on sitters to care for my cat. I have used Rover as well as local sitters, and apart from two, they have all been awful! Am I expecting too much? The sitters charge around $25 per...

Hello! I have successfully moved me and my blind kitty from New York to California! We are moving to a beautiful new spot with a lot of land. While my little guy is most an indoor cat for his own safety, I take him outside a lot so he can listen to birds and nibble on grass (which he loves)...

I'm thinking of staying in a secluded summer cabin for a couple weeks this summer. A small cabin on a lake or something like that. Just me. Would it be a terrible idea to bring my cat? He's blind, so I'm not sure how he'd adapt to a new environment. However he definitely enjoys having me...

Hello! So I'm due to be vaccinated for COVID soon. I'll be traveling with my mom to Hawaii in June for her birthday. I adopted my cat, Wali, age 7 and blind, back in October. Things are going great. I'm worried about this upcoming vacation, however. I'll be gone for 7 days and am planning on...

Hello! My cat has been on a wet food only urinary care diet since I adopted him, as he has a history of urinary issues. However: he stopped eating his wet food! He'll take a single bite and then try to "bury" the food. I've been leaving out Dr. Elsey's dry food so he has something to graze...

I adopted my cat (7 years old, male) 1.5 months ago. Until a couple days ago, I had never seen him drink water from his water bowl. I have been adding water to his wet food to compensate for his apparent lack of thirst. Recently he started eating only half of his wet food so I started leaving...

Hello! My 7 year-old male cat has now seen three different vets in as many months. He has gingivitis on one tooth and periodontal disease. He also has a history of urinary crystals (likely caused by stress, which all three vets agree on, because his bladder is otherwise healthy). The first vet...

Hello! I recently adopted my cat Wali. He's seven years old and blind. His first vet visit is coming up on Monday. I'm anxious about it. Wali is very prone to stress (just like me, LOL). He hates strangers and unfamiliar noises. Everytime he hears the neighbor's voice, he hides. I'm so...

My new roommate Wali LOVES to eat. He gets fed twice a day and always finishes his bowl... until this evening. He only ate half his food and then started scratching furiously around the bowl as if to... bury the food? Is this cause for concern???? He's on a permanent wet food only diet for a...

Hello! I recently adopted my seven year-old Wali. He's been amazing and is transitioning to my home really well. When I have to leave the house, I confine him to my bedroom/bathroom (his safe areas). He has a cat tree and scratchy post for entertainment, but mostly he naps all day and seems...

Hello! I am completely in love with my new roommate/baby, seven year-old Wali, who is blind. I adopted him from the SPCA. I'd been browsing their adoptable cats and dogs for a few months, with the intention that the right animal would make themselves known to me. I've never had my own cat and...

I adopted a 7 year-old blind cat a week ago. He has a safe room (the bathroom) and is also very comfy in my bedroom (connected to bathroom safe room) and spends most of his time happily napping in my bed. Last night he was up all night staring at the (closed) window as a high-wind snow rolled...
