If you happen to know a good affordable one I'd love to have the link or name!

True. I finally got back and decided to take a picture and this is what my balcony looks like.

i'm still gonna ask (really dont wanna risk getting in trouble) but if it doesnt work out, i might look into a cat enclosure outside.

thankfully i've seen a few of my upstairs neighbors already cat proof their balconies and i've asked them if they got approval. they didn't need it unless they were like making cosmetic changes to the balcony. so i'm trying to avoid that when cat proofing.

So I live on the ground floor of my apartment building in my complex (its multiple two floor buildings) and my cat loves looking outside and I'd like to let him outside without having to hold him 24/7 but still keep an eye on him. I've been looking up cat proofing my balcony for my cat but a lot...

I plan on doing what my sister does for her cat and giving him a flea bath twice a month to be safe.

The vet gave us a pill that will kill them in 24 hours, I gave it to him in a pill pocket when we got home and then immediately gave him a nice hot bath with the flea shampoo (which he was less than pleased about). I'm re-washing my sheets and stuff, I put my stuffed animals and pillows in the...

Thanks for the tips guys! I'm gonna use them for sure. I just vacuumed my entire apartment. I got some flea spray and shampoo my sister recommended. The spray will be for my couch where he really likes to hang out and I think I'll spray my carpet too (he is not allowed in my room until flea has...

I just noticed this evening a small little bug on my cat's fur and realized it was a flea (I can't believe I didn't notice until now, I don't know how I didn't). I've kicked him out of my room (I hate how harsh that sounds) and I'm going to a 24/7 vet tomorrow to get him treated. However, when...

Hey all, sorry for the late update, I've been busy with work but Obsidian is doing very good. I had to take him to the vet today to get shots and he peed and pooped in his crate (insert big sigh especially as I am a big germaphobe). My mistake in getting a soft crate made the clean-up harder, so...

When she had gone over everything with me she said the surgery went perfect and nothing out of ordinary happened. I don't know if it's that specific vets just ordinance for that type surgery or what.

I made sure to ask her on my way out with him and she was very insistent 14 days but I've decided only 10 days instead after looking at other vet hospital sites recovery time. I don't know why she said 14 but I'm being safe and doing ten and not 14. Just to be safe, I'd rather do less but this...

Will do! I also plan on looking into visiting the counselor therapist my college has, I'm hoping they can help me out too and help with this adjustment period on my end because he's doing great and I need to make sure I keep an eye on myself so I can make sure he's happy and well taken care of.

I want to thank everyone in this thread for your kind and supportive words, I'm gonna go forward with a positive attitude, his crate comes in tomorrow, some other stuff for him arrived today, and I'll make sure to update everyone when Obsidian's confinement ends on Sunday on how he's doing!

So right now I have him in my room and I have videos for cats playing from my laptop and he seems very entranced, but I'm expecting his crate tomorrow and I was supposed to get his scratching post, new collar, some calming treats, and a few other things yesterday but USPS failed to notify me...

I'm ready to see where it goes and I'm hoping for the best. I did read from another vet hospital site that for male cats post neutering it's seven days but I think I might do closer to fourteen and do ten days. I think seven is too early and fourteen is too long, cats do heal faster than people...

I just hope with the crate it will help him and me (especially him) and I hope by the time he's allowed to "go wild" and not be confined, my issues have simmered down. The last thing I want is for his healing to be done and he's comfortable and happy and I'm over to the side still feeling awful...

According to my vet and the instructions she gave me he needs to be confined and have low activity for fourteen days (I take him back June 16th for a check up and the rest of his shots). I specifically got the crate after he jumped on my high bed a couple of times and jumped on my bathroom...

His surgery was Thursday the 2nd of June. I've blocked my bed since it's pretty high up to keep him from jumping with stuff but he's done it a couple of times and I tell him off and say no in a firm voice like I've used with my sister's car and my parents cat, he also jumped on my bathroom...

I don't think his age is the source of any problem because my parents current 11 yr old cat was 6 months when we got her but it was a thought that passed me.
