So, I've been spending more time than usual with my cat lately, since I've gone back to working/studying remotely. I've noticed he sneezes everyday, but am not really noticing any pattern for now - I've heard/seen him sneeze before, but I guess I never really noticed it was a daily thing. He...

Hi all, My cat did something this afternoon that puzzled me. We were both together on the couch - he was fixing for a nap while cleaning himself on my chest, and suddenly he had a bit of a... gagging episode, sort of? I'm not sure what that was, so I'm wondering if anyone's seen their cat do...

Hello, Opening a new thread for this now that it seems more obvious that the issue is indeed feline acne. My cat's skin was infected back in January, and it seems that we've solved that particular issue - the skin is now a healthy color, no red spots, and no longer looks inflamed. However now...

Hi all, So, the title is a question because I don't really know what I'm looking at. My cat's nose bridge has a patch of skin that's darker - curiously, there's fur on it, so it being a scab or not doesn't seem obvious to me. I traveled for 15 days and left him in the care of a friend, and a...

Hi all, I honestly just want to vent a bit. I'm still on my mission to try and find a way to make my cat's stool a little softer - he's on a home cooked diet and poops every 3-4 days, very well formed stools that are on the dry side. He has presumptive IBD and the inflammation is on his...

My cat has a great appetite and never makes a noise other than happy chirps and purrs when he's eating in my presence, yet he yowls whenever he's left alone with food. I had noticed this before in the mornings... since I feed him at 7am, I often go back to bed on the weekends. When I do so, he...

Hi all, So something's happening here that I find a bit curious. My cat isn't a puker - he's a longhaired cat and used to throw up a hairball every 4-5 weeks. He does have presumptive IBD, which could be why that happens. A few months ago, I started giving him some malt paste daily, and that...

Hi guys, My cat likes to gnaw on things, such as plastic sticks that are part of his toys (his are full of teeth marks), carboard boxes (can also be found full of tiny little holes), and elastic strings that are attached to stuffed cat toys. I put his toys away after we play, but we've still...

Hi all, My cat eats a home cooked meal recipe prescribed by his vet, which consists of: 125g of turkey escalope 4g of Vit'i5 (French meal completer) 7ml of canola oil 55g of zucchini I really want to change the oil in the recipe. I've noticed it gets "stuck" to the fur on his chin and he has a...

Hi all, I've been noticing in the past couple of weeks that the fur right below my cat's mouth looks a little unkept in comparison to what it looked like before. As if there's less fur, with the skin being more visible? He was seen by a vet a week ago and there was nothing out of the ordinary -...

Has anyone tried both, and what changes did you notice? So this shedding season has been rough on my longhaired cat, who has presumptive IBD and normally vomits 1 hairball every 4-5 weeks. They had increased in frequency (we had one at a one week interval, which threw me off), so I started him...

To keep up with my weekly health posts... *sigh* So, I took my cat to see a holistic/physical therapist vet last week, and she recommended that I make my cat move more, because the muscles on his hind legs are weak (he has hip dysplasia and went through surgery on both legs in January). So last...

Hello hello! So, my cat Topaz has had chronic constipation ever since a surgery for hip dysplasia back in January - vets haven't been able to find any structural problems that could have caused it, they've done clinical exams to try and assess whether he's in pain, and nothing has resulted in...

Hi! So, about a month ago my cat had some weird allergic reaction to something, and it showed through a wound on his nose (I made a post on the forum about it). I removed his Feliway diffuser from the wall then. Today, after taking him to the vet to check on a possible UTI (or something that...

Hi all, So, this morning I noticed my cat's pee had a pinkish tone to it in comparison to last night's very yellow pee. I immediately suspected either an UTI or cystitis (neither of which he's ever had, I've just heard about the symptoms). Then he peed again after about 1 hour and very very...

Hi all, I live in the surrounding area of Paris, and I never come across any stray cats. There's an apartment nearby that is on the ground floor and they have two cats that they let roam, but, other than that, I had never come across a cat outside until yesterday. This cat in the picture was...

My cat has had an eventful 2 months. We arrived back in France from Brazil about a week ago now, and he was eating less after arrival - slowly going up to the previous amount, I think. I tried giving him some bonito flakes, some of the dry food he used to eat before (which he ate a little bit...

Hello! It looks like my cat might have tried (unsuccessfully) to pass a hairball about 1 hour ago. I ran to him because I heard a noise, and he was doing that movement with his neck where he throws it forward, as if he's coughing (his mouth was closed, no noises). I've read online that it could...

Hello, I'll be arriving back in France next week, after 3 months in Brazil with my cat, and my flatmate has brought her dog from Mexico to live with us. My cat, Topaz, is a 1.4 year old male Maine Coon, and her dog, Lola, is a 6 years old female poodle. Both are neutered. Topaz used to be...

Hello, I have a cat (1.2 years old) with a presumptive IBD diagnosis, and he doesn't have any symptoms when he eats his kitten food, which is Royal Canin Kitten sachet. I tried transitioning him to RC Neutered sachet, since he's over 1 year old, and insisted on it for a month. The soft stool...
