    Cat peeing outside of litter box

    We've seen the vets for other things before (he has asthma and was also sick a weekend, so he's had checkups and tests then), so I'm not sure it's a medical issue. I'll try and ask his vet, we need to schedule his yearly check-up soon anyway. No previous animals in the apartment either...

    Restless Kitten - When does it stop?

    Mine is 1 and a half now.. and to be honest, he's still very active. He's slowed down a little bit, but I think it's just his personality. He constantly wants to play together and never leaves me alone. I have trouble taking a bath alone haha. I think just having lots of toys around and things...

    Cat peeing outside of litter box

    Hello, My cat is about 1.5 years old and sometimes pees outside his litter box. He's done it since he was a baby. It started with peeing on our blankets/bed. We didn't allow him in the bedroom unsupervised for a while, and he stopped. However, he then started peeing on stuff in the front...

    Experience with Pet Insurance

    I got insurance through Fetch, and I'm so happy with them. Customer service has always been easy to reach and friendly. They're quite fast at processing claims too. I didn't really have to show any extensive paperwork. I have a vet history document before him being sick, and I just resubmit that...

    Not eating

    I'm sorry to hear your cat is not doing well, I hope he's a bit better now! I finally got my cat to eat normally again. Honestly, it was just patience and giving him the foods he loves. That's a lot of tuna wet food, some freeze-dried treats, quail egg, chicken broth... Offered the food to him...

    Not eating

    I don't have pedialyte, unfortunately. He does drink from a water fountain, he has one set up. I also try adding some filtered water and broth to his food and he does drink it. He's eating a bit more but still not as much as he should... But, he seems to be doing okay. He's very energetic and...

    Not eating

    I didn't see them myself. I was told there was slight indication of dehydration and stress, but that might just be from being sick. And, another thing was a bit high, but nothing for concern since the pancreatic test came back normal. I can probably ask the vet for more info. He was given an...

    Not eating

    Yes, I do have an emergency number! It just doesn't seem like an emergency. He is eating a little bit and nothing else seems wrong. He did just go and have a big of dry food too.

    Not eating

    Yes, I've tried different wet food, but he didn't eat either (until I hand fed). Dry food is the same as usual. I don't have baby food on hand.. I might try to get some tomorrow when stores are open

    Not eating

    Hello, Posting on this thread again... Last Sunday, my cat, Hobbes, was vomiting all day, and again on Monday. I was able to see the vet on Tuesday. He did blood tests for various things. Everything came back normal. He was very out of it on Wednesday. However, today (Friday) and yesterday, he...

    can a single kitten be happy? and is a cat's teenage phase worse(more demanding) than kittenhood?

    Hi! I wanted to jump in because I could really relate to this post. When we got our kitten, he was VERY needy. Always needed attention, always got in trouble. He was almost a full-time job. Both me and my boyfriend were worried we had made a terrible mistake by getting him. However, we...

    Pet insurance recommendations?

    Just jumping in, I submit everything to my insurance. It's their job to review the documents and figure out what's applicable. You might assume something isn't covered when it is. I recently went for a checkup because I wanted to discuss my cat's asthma, see if I could increase dosage of his...

    Best litter for cat with asthma?

    My cat has asthma, and I use World Best Cat Litter (unscented version). It's a natural corn litter, clumps really nicely. It also says 99% dust free on the bag, which I also agree I haven't noticed much dust at all.

    Vomit & tired

    Little update: Vet said there's nothing that really seems of concerned about his blood test. We are still waiting on another test, we'll hear more tomorrow. Fortunately, Hobbes does seem to be better! He was very playful and affectionate when we woke up and he's been walking around our...

    cat food cunnumdrum

    Maybe she'd like some variation.. my cat gets tired of specific wet foods when he's had it too many times. You could try alternating days with different textures or flavours.

    Needy Cat

    Oof I have a needy tabby as well.. I'm not sure if that's very helpful.. but I find that other than keeping him out of the room, bringing him into the activity works great. For example, I might explain what I'm working on, or talk to him while I'm exercising. When cooking, I might lift him up so...

    Vomit & tired

    Unfortunately, I didn't get any extra meds for him. The vet said they would last about 24 hours, and he should have results for me around then anyway. I was able to get him to eat some tuna and salmon mousse wet-food(what cat can resist fish, right?) and some broth (for cats) because I was...

    Vomit & tired

    My cat has been sick since Sunday. He wasn't able to keep food down on Sunday, and threw up again on Monday. He hasn't had much of an appetite since Monday. We went to the vet this morning and they're running blood tests and stuff, we're waiting on results (should arrive tomorrow). In the exam...

    Diet for cat with asthma?

    Thank you this is very helpful! My cat is also currently taking his inhaler twice a day, we went from once to twice a day a few weeks ago. My vet is supposed to follow up with us soon, so I'll ask him about the antihistamines. I've seen online that they recommend wet/raw diets for asthmatic cat...

    Diet for cat with asthma?

    He currently eats Acana dry food, and has a meal of wet food. Dry food was easy when he was a kitten, but now I want to increase it. He used to eat mostly tiki cat but then started wasting it so he's eating Fancy Feast, which isn't my favourite personally and I'm trying to change it. We're...
