    Found bloody scab on cat’s upper arm this morning.

    I took her to the vet a few hours ago and the good news is it’s not infected, nor an abscess, and it’s not skin cancer! Unfortunately they did say it looks like a wound and they think she got into an altercation with one of my other two cats. I have a feeling if that is the case that I know...

    Found bloody scab on cat’s upper arm this morning.

    My cat had a hairball this morning and as I was cleaning it up I handled her to reassure her everything was okay, when I suddenly felt something rough on her arm. When I held her to look at the area more closely, to my horror I found this wound. She’s indoor only and I have no idea how she could...

    Can a fat cat injure themselves from a fall?

    Good idea about the double sided tape (and the joint supplement, I’ll ask her vet)! Pipurr will eat anything (if allowed to🤭). But I have her on a wet food only diet. She gets a few different brands on routine every week, including Soulistic chicken and pumpkin, Stella and Chewy human grade...

    Can a fat cat injure themselves from a fall?

    My kitty Pipurr is a bit overweight. She is 8 years old and her first owners overfed her to a whopping ~22lbs. With me right now she is 13.4lbs as of her yearly vet checkup this year but she could stand to lose another 1.5lbs or so. I got her a new cat tree today and she immediately took to the...

    Cat keeps biting unprovoked - tonight she drew blood and I’m at my wit’s end.

    I just wanted to leave an update, that Lavender is doing well and that she no longer bites me. ♥ She eventually learned that if she does that that I leave the room and the cuddles stop. Photo for cat tax)😺

    What is wrong with my kitty’s nose? It’s suddenly crusty

    Update - the scab on her nose shrank day by day and today the scab just fell off! It’s still a mystery to me what she got into; but glad she is okay. I’m sorry to hear about your kitty’s nose, platty.

    What is wrong with my kitty’s nose? It’s suddenly crusty

    Well her nose is not worse today, and the scab part that was on her muzzle seems to have receded a bit… she’s still acting cuddly and eating

    What is wrong with my kitty’s nose? It’s suddenly crusty

    thanks for your reply. I hope it’s just irritation too, but will have to see how she looks in the morning. As of Wednesday her only symptom after the appearance of the crust was excessive sleepiness, but she still woke up to cuddle with me and eat. There’s nothing new in my house, I’m frankly...

    What is wrong with my kitty’s nose? It’s suddenly crusty

    She is indoors only since she has been living with me the last 8ish months. Also, the small black spot on the right side of her nose in the picture is just part of her nose’s surface, it has always been there. However, the left, very crusty side is what is problematic… normally that side is very...

    What is wrong with my kitty’s nose? It’s suddenly crusty

    Today I noticed my kitty Lavender has what appears to be a crusty scab on her nose. This has quite literally came out of nowhere, her nose wasn’t like this the day prior. I have been able to gently tap the area without complaint from her. What is this? I have already contacted her vet and sent...

    Cat keeps biting unprovoked - tonight she drew blood and I’m at my wit’s end.

    it’s been almost two hours and so far the area doesn’t seem to be worsening. I’m keeping my fingers crossed it stays that way. When she bit me on my hand months ago, it was a deep puncture wound that made my finger swell up like a huge bratwurst in less than three hours. At least this time the...

    Cat keeps biting unprovoked - tonight she drew blood and I’m at my wit’s end.

    I should also note, every time she’s bitten me, I loudly say NO! And I walk away quickly to try and show her it hurt me and that she doesn’t get to hang out next to me and cuddle if she acts like that. It’s honestly just gotten worse considering she drew blood tonight completely unprovoked.

    Cat keeps biting unprovoked - tonight she drew blood and I’m at my wit’s end.

    I have already had to get on antibiotics once before because of my cat, Lavender biting me. She is a spayed almost 3 year old former feral cat (part of a TNR program, I adopted her from a rescue). Fully clawed and vetted. I’ve had her for six months. The first weekend I brought her home, she...

    Question of the Day - Tuesday, December 7

    Yesterday! A friend of mine recently got into soldering and got a DIY radio kit which was really neat; they let me tinker around with their practice circuit board and I got to use a soldering iron for the first time to fuse wires to the board with melted tin to make some fun little electrical...

    Question of The Day. Sunday 5th of December

    I can’t think of anything that I‘ve gotten that I didn’t like! You could give me a seashell or a cool rock you found outside and tell me it reminded you of me and I would be very happy haha. I guess if someone gave me something that I was allergic to and couldn’t eat that would be the one...

    Question of the Day, Friday, December 3

    Growing up we would have ham or roast beef with mashed potatoes and gravy and a veggie, usually peppered asparagus, with pecan pie with vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. As an adult, that tradition stands strong to this day!

    Water Fountains And Scoop-Free Litter Boxes

    Pipurr has a ceramic fountain from Thirsty Cats in addition to her regular water bowl. They are very nice looking and have very quiet fountains compared to some commercial brands I’ve tried. My cat will run if the bubbler is too loud, but this one is whisper quiet. They are handmade so no two...

    Meet Pipurr, the tuxedo bobtail!

    Hello! This is my tuxedo bobtail kitty, Pipurr! I have had her about 2.5 years and she is roughly 7 years old and almost 14 pounds… still a bit too chunky, but we are steadily working on getting that down with a healthy diet! 😅 A fun fact about Pipurr, is that before me, she lived with a...
