My sweet little 5 1/2 boy has always been very active and a little neurotic. He cuddles me almost every day and is very sweet at times but he’s definitely quirky. I think he probably had single kitten syndrome. We have another cat now, but he was the only cat until he was 3 and I think we...

My parents cat is 12 years old and overweight. (She once was 19 pounds but they’ve worked to get her down to 14. She’s been at that weight for several years now). A few weeks ago my parents noticed her drinking excessively and she was peeing like 6 times a day (medium to large quantities every...

Thank you this is so helpful!!! So a cup of their dry food is 400 calories. So I guess for now I can feed them half a cup a day and see how that goes? That should be about 200 calories of dry. Then honeys wet food adds 50 cal to her total so she’ll get 250. And then I can slide Rufus a little...

Thanks for the reply! All these charts I’m seeing online have been in ounces but I can see how counting up the calories would be helpful. I’ll try that!!

I read online that cats (on average) need about 4 oz of dry food a day (1/2 a cup). So my thought process was to do just a little under that (3 oz) since they’ll be getting some wet food too. Does that make sense or do you still think it’s not enough? I could be totally off here 😬

I would get her to the vet ASAP. Not eating for 2 days for cats is a medical emergency. When their 3 eyelid is showing it be as simple as they don’t feel good or it could indicate something else. The only way to know is to get kitty to a vet. I would do it sooner rather than later.

I made a post on here a couple days ago about my fat cat honey. Honey is 11 months old and she is already overweight. I wanted to free feed her because it has always worked for my four year old cat but I want her to be her healthy best self so I’ve decided to put them on a schedule. Rufus is...

Thanks for the reply! I did read somewhere about vegetable oil. I’ll try that today. He went to the vet I think around 5 or 6 months ago because he was not eating and vomiting for days. They gave him A nausea shot and an appetite stimulant and then he was fine. They also did full bloodwork and...

My Rufus poops generally every day or at least every other day. He doesn’t strain when using the litter box, which I’m happy about, but I’ve noticed over the last few weeks he’s had some hard stool. He will normally do a normal poop, but there will sometimes be one or two tiny piceces along with...

No she hasn’t been, but I’m starting to think she isn’t playing much because she doesn’t like to play when my other cat is around because it intimidates her (he’s always around). I just played with her alone in my room with him locked out and she stayed engaged with me for about 20 minutes. I’m...

Oh no! Maybe I can find something similar. I have a couple wand toys. She’s funny though. As soon as she hears the toy drawer open she runs over to me all excited but after a second of playing she goes and lays down. She used to chase the wand toys for 10-20 minutes at least but not really...

I have a 1 year old cat named Honey. She is a petite cat but I can definitely tell she’s a little overweight. I would either like her to maintain her weight or loose a pound or two. I also have a 5 year old cat named Rufus. He has always been the perfect weight per our vet. Their current food...

Thanks for the tips! She drinks quite a bit. I have a fountain for her and I have a human cup she drinks out of. I also add water to her wet food at night.

wow there is way more out there than I thought there was! I have a lot of research to do. Thank you!!!

She’s been eating blue Buffalo for 4 or 5 months now with fancy feast wet food at night. I really can’t think of anything other than the fact it usually happens when I’m gone overnight. I rescued her from my work when she was 2 months old and she’s always been more skittish than my other cat but...

My 10 month old cat has stress induced cystitis. Basically from what I understand is she gets so stressed she gives herself an infection that irritates her bladder. She went 3 weeks without a flare up (I got feliway, a new cat tree, and I’ve been trying to make our home as calm as possible). My...

Hey everyone! I made a post recently about my kittens reoccurring UTI. We got the urinalyses back today and the vet said she thinks my cat has stress induced cystitis. My cat is peeing normally now, and I want to keep it that way. My kitten has always been skittish. She likes to play and...

I have a 9 month old spayed kitten. She was going to pee constantly earlier this month and straining to pee. I took her to the vet asap and she was diagnosed with a UTI. They weren’t able to get a urine sample but based on her symptoms they said it was most likely that. She had a shot of...

This is exactly what happened! I took her to the vet yesterday afternoon and they gave a shot of convenia. She said it would take 3-5 days to work but I wish it’d work right now :(. I hate seeing her going to the box every 10 minutes

This morning before work I noticed my 8 month old spayed kitten going to the litter box more often. I was only home for like 30 min before I left for work but she squatted for a little longer than usual and I noticed she only peed a few drops. she went to the box a couple times in 30 min which...
