I’ve noticed the last two times I saw Pepper poop, he sort of strains a bit- let me explain.
The first time, he went into the box and dug a hole and then was able to poop one log immediately, but then he stayed in the position to poop and did 5-6 poop-jerk motions after as if he wanted to poop...
I was drinking this beer tasting soda, and turns out it’s got (0.6%~1.0%) vol of alcohol. I was distracted and my cat was walking around on my desk- if he were to lap a bit from the top of the can- even though the alcohol is low, can that much hurt my cat if he were to have licked the top of the...
Thank you for such a detailed response! The Fancy Feast he eats ranges, we get both the pate and the gravy, but it’s usually the gravy kind. He was on Only Natural Pet dry cat food before, and his poop at the time wasn’t smelly like it is now, but they unfortunately discontinued it where I...
My cat is male, neutered, and 2 years old
I feel like his poop has always been very smelly, not in an unusually foul way, but just very pungently "poopy". The poop smell is strong, and often the whole bathroom smells like pure poop for a bit. His poops seem pretty normal in consistency and...
Thanks for the help! 12 hours later, he has pooped but i didn’t find any plastic in it, he also slept through the night as usual and is playful after waking up, I think i will monitor him like this for atleast 2 days just to be safe
My cat somehow got a hold of his lick-able treat tube and completely destroyed it while I wasn’t in the room, can’t find the other parts of the plastic. It was a Catit Creamy Treats. I’m keeping an eye on his behaviour and his litter box- nothing at the moment, but I’m just worried about if the...
We had some expired dry dog food we completely forgot about and was about to dispose of it, looked the other way for a few minutes and my cat had managed to scratch a few holes into the bag. It didn’t seem like any got out and spilled on to the ground, and I didn’t hear him eat anything. The...
I read somewhere that you aren’t supposed to see a cats shoulder bones if they’re at a healthy weight, but when my cat walks, I see his shoulder blades move up and down as he walks, and when he sits, they stick up like this- is that normal?
I’d say Pepper sits between a 3.5-4, Ive never seen his ribs outright, but I’m not sure if that’s because of his fur (he’s a short hair tabby). Makes me think perhaps he was a bit chunky before and lost weight? From the pictures I attached, he is not the biggest cat, but he doesn’t SEEM skinny...
They didn’t do any blood work
No, not that I know of in terms of changes, we did get an automatic feeder along with manually feeding him wet food everyday.
He has always seemed a bit small, but I don’t have a reference on what a “normal” sized cat looks like
Hello! My cat Pepper is 2 years old, male, and neutered
We went to the vet yesterday to get his vaccines renewed and after weighing him, he had lost about a pound. He was 5.09kg at his last visit (Nov 15th) and he is 4.73kg now. I asked the vet if the weight loss was concerning and she said...
My cat is 2, male, and neutered
Wanting to know if dried (not wet or in any form liquid) nail polish is toxic to cats? I do my own nails time to time and of course they slowly chip, if my cat happens to ever ingest these completely dried chips, is it something to be concerned about? Sometimes...
Pepper is 2 years old, male, and neutered
I’ve noticed him sometimes tilt his head and chew on the side while eating his food and didn’t think it was much until I did some researching on dental disease in cats. He has that side chewing thing, drops food sometimes (recently has been more...
Thank you so much for the information!! My cat has all his vaccines updated- I looked through the article. I also meant in a way if humans could pick up something from cats and then spread it to another cat
I also saw this from a site:
FeLV: “The virus does not live long outside of a cat host, so spreading FeLV via human clothing and hands is very unlikely. If an FeLV-positive cat is housed in a separate room from an FeLV-negative cat, it is unlikely that transmission will occur. To be on the safe...
Hello,
This question is really stupid but I’m just paranoid and overthinking- can humans pick up cat diseases (FIV, FelV, etc) from cats and carry it and spread it to other cats? There was a cat at my local small pet store that I petted and played with and I’m worried at any chance that it...
