Thank you for this!! Just as I was getting on to check if anyone had replied, my cat just went back to the litter box and peed, yay!! Didn't seem to strain, everything normal and a decent amount. I will keep watching her, but hopefully it was a one-off as you say.
I don't think my cat has...
I have a 1 and a half year old old cat. She's a star and always uses her litter box. Just now she did a meow that usually announces she is going to poop (does anyone else's cat do this?). Sometimes she keeps crying until I stop in the doorway and wait for her, before she'll start to dig and do...
Thank you both for your responses! I will donate it as it kills me to waste it, lol. Do ferals have stonger stomachs or is it more now about using it up quick?
Like a lot of the country, the heat has snuck up very early and quickly. I was taken by surprise a bit as I don't watch the news. I have been storing dry cat food in the garage during fall/winter/spring as my garage doesn't get too cold and it was a nice temperature. However, the last two weeks...

Grr, the internet ate my original reply it looks like, so apologies if this shows up twice. I clicked post and it asked me to log back in, so it must have ate it then.
I will talk to my vet about this and see what tests they can do, etc, thanks for that idea! She acts...
@game misconduct I feel like I play with her a lot, but maybe it isn't. It's not as much as I used to when I first got her, partly because she doesn't seem to want to play as much (though still a lot). Used to be I could tell what was her rough housing and but I'm not so sure about this. Once...
That gives me peace of mind, thank you! :) Good points about mist and not the face. I'm going to definitely try this. Biting is unacceptable.
But ArtNJ also brings up a point that using water or something like that will definitely make her think that trimming claws is a bad bad bad thing, and...
Good to hear clapping is good! But you are possibly right that my cat might start ignoring that. Because at the door I've tried foot stomping, kicking the door, dropping keys loudly, ringing the doorbell like crazy (she hated it at first), distracting her with treats and NONE of them work to get...
I do have plenty of toys she can chew on, and kickers as well. Maybe she's bored with them and I need to get her new ones. I have always redirected her biting/kicking during play, so that's a good option. It's just that this does not seem to be anywhere near play, so I'm viewing it as different...
My cat has gone from super sweet to super sweet interspersed with instances several times a day when she just has to bite my hands in retaliation for something she's percieved as wrong on my end. Until today she's never broken skin, though there would be indents briefly, and always welts left...
