    I feel hopeless - I can't give my cat his medication and it's such a stressful experience

    My cat loves treats and can usually be distracted long enough for me to put his transdermal medicine on. If he sees us with the medicine he will hiss and run. He actually loves ham (and I know that he is not supposed to have it because it can cause stomach issues but he just really really loves...

    Need help, 1 year old cat has severe behavior disorder when “scared”

    Thanks, I am considering taking him back to the vet to do so, but will need to wait till he has calmed down. He goes weeks with being absolutely fine, so hopefully he will return to normal soon?

    Need help, 1 year old cat has severe behavior disorder when “scared”

    Thanks to everyone who has replied so far, I really appreciate it. On another note he also doesn't sleep when he gets like this. He just spirals I suppose.

    Need help, 1 year old cat has severe behavior disorder when “scared”

    He does have the basement where we put him when he reacts like this, but when he wants to come out, it can be very challenging to keep him down there and we especially dont want him to feel as though he is being punished. But he definitely has mutliple rooms he could retreat to if he wished.

    Need help, 1 year old cat has severe behavior disorder when “scared”

    We've never allowed playing with our arms/hands, toys only. He's always had a harder time learning how to retract his claws and have nice touches. He's quite the handful, but we love him. I know he would be so scared without us which is why I came on here looking for some sort of a solution. His...

    Need help with a sudden fearful and defensive aggressive cat

    Hi My cat has a similar reaction to things that scare him. With the exception that he usually goes for our other cat. He is about a year and a half and otherwise very sweet, extremely affectionate, and loves to be the center of attention. The phenomenon your cat is most likely experiencing is...

    Red bump on cat's paw

    That is interesting, I would definitely get him checked out by the vet, or at least call and see if they can offer any tips. If you have used it before, you can put a very small amount of Neosporin on it. But be careful, not all cats react well to it and if too much is used, it could be ingested...

    Need help, 1 year old cat has severe behavior disorder when “scared”

    Yes he was tangled in the paper bag. He is also off the Prozac as it didn’t seem to have any effect on him. He’s tried the treat versions of Prozac and the skin-lotion. We will try to find him larger toys. :) thanks

    Need help, 1 year old cat has severe behavior disorder when “scared”

    We have taken him to the vet, with COVID I was unable to go in with him and watch the exam but the vet called me and told me there was nothing physical going on that he could see and diagnosed him with anxiety. We’ve tried playing calming music for him and given him an aroma scent collar, all...

    Need help, 1 year old cat has severe behavior disorder when “scared”

    Hi there, I have two cats. One is a ginger who is a sweet boy who absolutely loves attention. The other is a mature lady who is very social and calm. They are 1 and 1/2 years old and were raised/fostered together as kittens but aren’t from the same litter. Once my male cat was 8 months old...
