What is the strongest anxiety medication you guys would feel ok giving your cats or have given your cats? One of my cats is diagnosed with anxiety, he takes fluoxetine every day and I have feliway diffusers. He’s fine on the medication but before he started taking it he had extreme anxiety, he...

That one looks great, I’ll definitely check it out! I was looking for something that was more like a shirt instead of the thin straps. Thank you!

I have been taking my cat out and I’m looking for harness recommendations. I don’t remember the name of the harness I have but I would like to get a different one. My cat is not skittish at all and does not get scared easily but I’m looking for something that will comfortable for her while also...

My moms senior cat (almost 17) has been slowly losing weight over the last few years. He’s also become much more picky. He is also always hungry no matter how much he eats. He’s been to the vet, all of his labs come back completely normal. The vet was almost positive that he had hyperthyroidism...

Unfortunately she used to like me but since I don’t live with my mom and I always come over to help clip her nails or get her in the carrier, she associated me with negative things and now she’s terrified of me, I feel so bad

The nail clip is not going to stop her claw from becoming over thank you for the advice! The main reason I’m considering it is because I feel like the vet visits every few weeks would traumatize her, especially because she only feels safe around one person, I would feel terrible if it affected...

I’m talking about one claw that becomes overgrown, not all of her claws. I have seen vets recommended this as an option for cats with this issue. If you read my post you can clearly see we just want what’s best for her

Does anyone have experience with selective declawing for polydactyl cats? My mom has a polydactyl who we rescued as a kitten. She never fully warmed up to people, she loves my mom but she is very anxious in general and will not let any other person touch her. Her claw between her regular paw and...

Yeah, I wasn’t totally sure about the bandage just because of the placement. She was stung today, a bee got in when I opened the door and it stung her when she swat at it. Luckily she doesn’t seem to be in too much pain, I was surprised about the cone too since a sting is so small. Luckily I’m...

I’ll definitely try that, thank you!

My cat got stung by a bee between her toes. I took her to the vet and she got an antibiotic shot and he also gave us a cone for her to wear for a few days to prevent infection. She is miserable with the cone on and keeps trying to take it off. I was looking on petco and I saw a “bitter bandage”...

I can definitely try that with my mom! She will most likely be the one taking care of them, he used to love her when I lived with her but once I moved and he started seeing her less he became more and more scared. Thank you for the advice ! :)

I am going on a vacation for a few days in November. One of my cats is scared of everyone besides me. He takes fluoxetine every day for anxiety and it took a while to find a method that works for him. He won’t take it in a lockable treat, wet food, or in meat, the only way I can get him to take...

No, he has never done it his whole life. A few times he would lick one paw and then he would wipe his head with the opposite paw but that’s the most he would do. We would always brush him and my other cats would groom him but now that they are older also they seem to have stopped grooming him

My mom has 2 16 year old cats. They were my childhood cats but since she was responsible for them for their whole life she kept them when I moved out. One of the cats had never groomed himself his whole life. We were told when we adopted him that he was left outside the shelter by himself as...

I wanted to add that he does great with pills but he absolutely hates liquid medication, the gabapentin was a liquid. My current vet is amazing and I think he would prescribe whatever I ask for as long as it is safe for my cat. He is so helpful and always listens to my concerns / suggestions so...

I have 3 cats, one of them struggles with anxiety. His anxiety issues started in October, he has developed cystitis at least once due to his anxiety. Now he takes fluoxetine and he is doing great. I will be moving in august and I am worried about him. The last time I moved with him he was so...

My mom has 2 cats that are almost 16 years old. Over the past few months, one of the cats has become obsessed with food. He lost some weight and the vet initially thought that he had hyperthyroidism but all of his blood work came back completely normal. They recommended not giving him high...

I hope he feels better! My cat was pretty much fine other than when it came to using the litter box. During the day he was happy and energetic but at night he would become restless and cry a lot and go in and out of the litter box the the point that he developed cystitis. I tried playing with...

Thank you for the reply! I think I’m going to wait a little longer and if I don’t see the changes I want I will talk to the vet about lowering the dose or possibly trying an alternative. It definitely makes me feel better to know that I’m not the only one that had this experience, I have been so...
