Thank you! If he had to go somewhere I’d want it to be with people he at least is familiar with. And I trust my mom. I kept asking her “what if he does this or what if this happens” and she’s like “I’ll take care of it then focus on you.” It’s just so hard. It’s gonna be so hard for me to do...
Do you think it would be best to wait a few days or even a week to go over and visit then? I don’t want to make anything worse. I’m already giving him a little gabapentin beforehand because he gets nervous in the car and I figure it can’t hurt.
Also I can visit anytime because it’s my mom, so I was thinking for the first week or two maybe visiting once a day or every two days to help him ease into his situation but I’m not sure if that would make it worse for him or easier :/
Hey all. So I’ve had quite a year of mental health catastrophe. Ever since covid my anxiety/PTSD has been through the roof and my depression has worsened. I’m in a bad way and I have decided to get treatment and help but it’s going to be a long road to recovering fully.
My 2 year old cat will...
I haven’t posted in awhile but I guess I’m venting/searching for people in a similar situation.. my 2 year old cat is so difficult to engage when it comes to play. And I know playtime is a super important part of being an indoor cat. It’s hard to keep him engaged and sometimes it’s hard to even...
I’m going to start trying to take him out whenever he sits by the door and meows so that way he associates outside with the harness. He scratches and nipped at me when I put it on but once it was on he walked just fine. Just seemed super curious and a little stressed as he’s never even been...
I have the same problem. My cat is super difficult to engage in play and apparently he’s the only cat that doesn’t like da bird as well. It’s exhausting and frustrating trying to get him to play most days
Hey all.
So I purchased a lead and harness for my cat months and months ago. I put it on him occasionally, he always hated it lol. And I left it in the house so he could get familiar with it and realize it’s not anything to be scared of. I’ve been doing research about the best way to train a cat...
Gotcha! He definitely eats less dry food now that he’s on the wet. However to keep boredom at bay I like to use food puzzles with his dry since he’s not super toy motivated! He was on blue wilderness before. But the vet said he was a bit chunky (14 lbs) so I switched to hopefully get his weight...
He doesn’t go outside although we do leave screen windows opened for him often. He’s on a hypo allergenic litter so I don’t think it’s that. It could be seasonal but the fact that it’s only on the legs makes me wonder if it’s contact. Maybe detergent related or even the litter box deoderizer...
He’s not seen a vet regarding the allergies just because it’s a whole event to get him to the vet. He has to be “kitty drugged” and I don’t have the funds right now.
Most by products, and then corn, wheat, soy, and gluten according to her. She said the fancy feast has a lot of by-product. HOWEVER, because the overgrooming only happens on his legs and feet, I’m thinking the allergy may be contact and not necessarily food related so I’m going to keep him on...
So I’ve been feeding my 2 yo cat fancy feast pate wet food for awhile now and also dry food (purina pro plan weight management) to munch on throughout the day. I’m slowly starting to change his feeding schedule and diet based on the recommendations of a behavior specialist but I don’t know what...
Getting another cat could be potentially great for her or potentially not great. It all depends on the personality of said cat. If you don’t want a second cat then don’t worry because it’s not necessary if you’re providing enrichment and play time with her when you are home. Get some self play...
She will get used to it. My cat (only cat) was home alone while I worked full time during covid and before covid. He’s totally over the biting phase now as he is 2. But I got him when he was around 6 weeks. She’s still a kitten and has a lot of energy. I would try and work in about an hour or...
He was extremely stressed when we introduced them. We took it slow and did all the things. He stopped eating for three days and was vomiting when she first arrived. Once they got to the face to face stage he was aggressive and stopped playing, started hiding more, and vocalizing more. He was...
Hi all. I’d like to preface this by saying I love my cat, I really really do. He’s been with me for two years and I’ve had him since he was around 6 weeks old. He’s my little man. He’s always been a strange cat, but lately he’s been even weirder than his usual. I’m not sure what to do or how to...
He’s got soooo many toys! Most of which he doesn’t care for. He’s got about three or four that he likes so I try to rotate them out. Although one in particular he plays with daily (literally a long wire I drag on the floor lol) he’s super picky with toys/other things as well. He’s hard to please!
Just curious about y’all’s opinions on this! My two year old kitty mochi loves his naps. On average I would say he naps/sleeps about 14-17 hours per day. Usually we have a play session first thing in the early morning before breakfast, he naps, if I’m home during the day we may have a shorter...
My cat seems to be dealing with some anxiety as of lately. To be fair, there’s been a lot of big change in less than a year. Between my fiancé moving in, moving to a new apartment, and fostering a cat for three months.
I’ve tried calming chews and CBD but I am not sure they’re helping (not to...
