    Is my cat “large” or average size?

    This is my first cat, and most other interactions are with community cats. He seems big to me, but I’m not sure if he just seems big because of how small he was when we got him, or if he is actually a larger cat. He is larger than the community cats I see, but he has much more care & nutrition...

    Tofu Litter

    Has anyone ever used tofu litter? We just pretty litter right now, and I like the convenience of flushing the waste, but I feel like it hasn’t been trapping odors as well as when we first started using it and we have to dump and refill the litter box more often. Plus I’m noticing more dust and...

    Large Cat - Cat Tree

    My Zuko has ended up being a bit of a unit. He’s about a year old and has outgrown his cat tree we bought when he was a kitten! He’s about 18” long & last weigh in a couple weeks ago put him at about 13.5 lbs. Are there any recommendations on good cat trees for big boys? Or a good rule of thumb...

    Diarrhea & possibly ate yarn/ribbon

    So first off, this is my fault. I used to very careful about what toys were left out, what he could get too when we aren’t watching etc. but Zuko has never been one to tear up, destroy, chew or eat toys. My dog will eat anything that holds still long enough, but with Zuko, I got a bit…...

    Eye enucleation (socket closed) post-op swelling

    Zuko had lost his left eye before we got him, and last month he was finally old enough to have the eye socket surgically closed. His eye healed up great and has been fully healed for a while now, but the last few days I thought I had noticed swelling, and today I am sure his face around the...

    Free feeding kitten to mealtimes

    Hello! I’m a first time cat owner, and we have been free feeding our kitten Zuko since we got him! We were told you can’t overfeed a kitten and that free feeding is best to make sure they’re getting everything they need while growing! My question, I guess, is when do we stop? Or is it...

    Inexpensive way to spay/neuter large # of ferals?

    So my mother-in-law lives in the country near a lake. I’m talking middle of nowhere at least 30 min to the nearest SMALL town. There are TONS of ferals around her out there. There is a house down the road that someone puts food out for them, and they also hang around her land/cabin. She also...

    Pointed Kitties!

    I see lots of threads for black cats/tabby’s/tortoise etc. I’d love to see some of y’all’s beautiful pointed babies! Here’s my Zuko baby! Fun fact! Did you know pointed cats are actually albinos? They’re simply temperature sensitive ones! These little mood ring babies have an albino gene that...

    Outdoor/indoor cats

    I am a new cat owner, and I am just curious, I see lots of people post photos of their cats outdoors, and I know lots of people have indoor/outdoor cats. I am terrified of Zuko ever getting out of the house and running off! Plus, I have also seen stories of peoples’ cats escaping and they don’t...

    Are your cats vocal? What kids of sounds do your cats make?

    My kitten Zuko is extremely vocal! He definitely lets you know at all times what he’s doing and where 😂😂 That being said, he never really meows. The only time is if he is shut out of the room I’m in, he’ll stand at the door and let out the most pathetic meows you’ve ever heard until I open the...

    Preparing to move - cat aggression.

    Zuko has a tendency to play rough in general. He has been with us since he was 4 weeks old and didn’t learn proper play (he’s 5mo now). I try to keep him occupied, various toys, cat tree, scratch post & board, window perch, interactive play with me, and electronic toys that move. I change his...

    Is my 4mo kitten overweight? Or just big? Adult size??

    When I first got Zuko he was a sickly 4 week old kitten and only .5 lb. He is much better now, and his last vet appointment was at his 4 month old birthday and he weighed 6lbs. He’s currently 4.5 months old, and according to our scale at home, he weight 6.8lbs. I know cats are supposed to...

    Teaching Appropriate Play/Curbing Aggression

    I’m a first time cat owner of a sweet boy named Zuko. He was brought home at 4 weeks old, and is now almost 4 months old. I am concerned about teaching him to play nicely and properly socialize him as he didn’t have any litter mates or his mother from an early age. We don’t have any other...

    Suddenly Suckling

    (First time cat owner) My kitten is now about 3 months old. I first got him when he was 4 weeks old and very ill. About a month ago he started suckling and kneading blankets, clothes, etc anytime he gets sleepy. I’m sure being away from his mom at such a young age is where the behavior stems...

    What breed does my domestic longhair look most like?

    I am a first time cat owner, and my kitten is no question a mutt, but he look very similar to a Siamese/Balinese (he’s a long hair), and I was curious what a more seasoned cat owner thought! There is a Siamese (looking) cat a few houses down from where we found him. Most of what I know is based...
