    Cat is too rough when initiating play

    Everyone is spayed and neutered! I'm not sure if he'd enjoy walks as he has no interest in going outside. We leave our screen doors open for him to look out of on occasion and he has never showed interest in going any further than the doorways. He went to the vet about a month ago for routine...

    Cat is too rough when initiating play

    Hi everyone, We have a 3 year old orange boy who is having some behavioral issues and it's causing the other cats in the household to not want to interact with him. Panko is a good boy overall. Not food aggressive, very sweet on people, and just a generally laid back guy. He is front declawed...

    Adopted Declawed Cat. Advice?

    Appreciate all the advice everyone! We are learning more and more about Panko's patterns. We'll definitely be switching from clay litter to something a little softer to prevent/minimize any possible irritation. He does still scratch on his cat tree and can tend to give a soft warning bite when...

    Adopted Declawed Cat. Advice?

    Hi everyone, We recently adopted our 3 year old Panko from a humane society in rural Kentucky. He's a very sweet, relaxed, and mild mannered boy. Everything has been going well aside from something we noticed when we went to trim his nails tonight. Horrifyingly, his last owners declawed his...

    Submissive Cat Does Not Hiss, But Chatters

    That's exactly what it sounds like, but he displays submissive body language as if to say "i am not a threat!" Don't worry we're being very careful. They are only in the "smelling under the door" phase. I don't think these two are fighters, but we're not taking chances.

    Submissive Cat Does Not Hiss, But Chatters

    Meant to add the inquiry of if anyone else has seen this behavior before, lol.

    Submissive Cat Does Not Hiss, But Chatters

    Hi everyone. We've been doing slow introductions with our two kitties to hopefully get them acclimated. Our calico naturally hisses and growls under the door when he's close to it, but I've noticed that Panko, our large orange boy, doesn't hiss. He backs away, lays down on his belly, and...

    Dramatic Cystitis Flareups?

    Thanks for your reply! She is diagnosed epileptic so her formal diagnosis is idiopathic epilepsy and idiopathic cystitis. Her brain responds to any changes in routine or potential stressors in abnormal ways which can result in bladder irritation. The only thing that changed about her routine was...

    Dramatic Cystitis Flareups?

    Has anyone who manages cystitis in their kitties experienced dramatic flareups? How long did it take to get back to normal? The pet store ran out of all of Miso's regular wet food so I had to get it delivered which means she subsequently had dry food for 2 meals (much to her excitement). Yet...

    ANY CATS WITH EPILEPSY?

    Sorry to bring up an older post, but I do have some experience in this. We have a 6 year old calico who is epileptic. After her diagnosis she went on phenobarbital and was a completely different cat. Lots of in-coordination and dissociation. Just super wobbly and she was always out of it. They...

    2 weeks little food intake, 3 vet visits still inconclusive

    Hi everyone, I appreciate all the advice here! She's gone to see another vet to get her second round of cerenia (anti nausea) and fluids and we're doing a full reset of her meds to see if any are making her sick. She's been on anticonvulsants for the past month as she's epileptic and we're doing...

    2 weeks little food intake, 3 vet visits still inconclusive

    Thank you again for the replies everyone. I wanted to attach a video of the lip smacking in question so that you can see the behavior in action. I'm wondering if it's nausea too considering her reaction to smelling food. Though what's causing it I'm still unsure. In regards to her vet: We went...

    2 weeks little food intake, 3 vet visits still inconclusive

    Thanks for your reply. They've run blood, urinalysis, and fecal. They told us to finish the sucralfate and start on omeprazole today in case the lip smacking is gastric acid. She's very picky about wet food and prefers only ones she can lap up. Even then we have tried two weruva, earthborn, tiki...

    2 weeks little food intake, 3 vet visits still inconclusive

    Hi everyone, Our 5-6 year old cat Miso has been having issues for about 2 weeks. It began with a slight fever, lethargy, and not wanting to eat or drink. Vet visit #1 diagnosed her with a cold and she was given intravenous fluids and an appetite stimulant. This didn't work and she had started...

    Should I Stop Fostering?

    Hi everyone, So to begin we have a 5 year old cat, Miso who we adopted out as an adult. We are unsure of her previous situation, but know that she can at least tolerate other cats as we adopted her from a cat cafe where other cats seldom bothered her. An important detail, we have also recently...

    Tummy Trouble

    Thanks for your reply! I do clean her litter box after every use. I will start with the pumpkin to see if it helps.

    Tummy Trouble

    Hi everyone! Hoping we can get some help or advice on this. My partner and I are first time cat owners. We adopted a 5 year old torbie named Miso in March. She's such a sweet girl and we love her to death. Recently I've been worried about her health. I'll preface by saying that her litter is...
