Posting on behalf of my friends friend Hi guys, my cat who is around 15-16 years old has FARS. I take her to a vet that practices both alternative and modern medicines and currently is on pressure meds and CBD oil to alleviate her discomfort. I have not been to another vet yet because I am...

Hi everyone I'm having major issues with my cat and teeth brushing. I'm honestly shocked at how some cats here are so chill and will let you guys brush their teeth. My cat becomes super frightened, to the point of panting when I try to hold him down to do it. He will wriggle out with all his...

Hi all This might be a bit of a long one, i'll try and make it as succinct as possible. I got my cat in June of 2022, so I'm coming up to 1 year now. Since he was about 5 months old, he's been persistent with meowing and nagging at me for completely unknown reasons, i started a thread about it...

Hi everyone Back in 2022 when i joined this forum, I mentioned to everyone that my kitten who was then 3 M.O, would sit diagonal to my work table and just meow at me. I know that he's most likely just bored, but I was wondering if there was any kind of cat psychology which would point this...

Dumb question: but do they behave like normal cats with hair? They are just so bizarre looking! What is it like owning a sphynx cat?!

Hi everyone Anyone had experiences with constipation whilst their cat has been on this medication? Humphrey gave me a scare when he didn't go to the toilet for 2 days and then produced stools with blood streaked in them. I was so freaked out but decided to wait it out because the blood was...

Bit of a chicken or the egg question but I’m wondering if my bsh cross will inherit the personality traits of pure bred bsh breeds. I love the laid back, lazy and quiet nature of bsh. I guess he’s already kind of like this, especially as he’s approaching his first year. His play obsession is...

Hi team Resident over zealous cat parent here. I noticed humphrey has those dirt looking chin acne particles. I tried to get them off with a tooth brush in some warm water, but they really cling on! Any ideas on how to get rid of them? or do they sort of just come out on their own? He doesn't...

Humphrey has been zooming non stop since this morning at 8am, its now midday. There'd be intervals where he'd take a small break but then off he goes shooting across the room, darting and pouncing on his tunnel and his toys. How long are zoomies supposed to go for? If they go too long does that...

Humphrey eats normally ( still picky though ), poops normally and is friendly. He basically has no behavioural issues. So why does he lay flat like so? Is this a normal way for cats to lie down? I'm always on the lookout for weird lying down poses because I know some poses indicate illness, do...

Wanting to ask about this to owners who've fed their cats these in the long term. They seem a bit too good to be true, nothing would be as good as brushing. Unfortunately, not an option for my cat as he is so hung strung and wont' let you do anything to him. I really wanted to do brushing as i...

Hi everyone My cat humphrey has always been super good about leaving me alone at night. The only times he's ever come in to wake me is for cuddles at around 4am and then once he's had enough, he'll go out into the living room and stay there all the way til morning time. This was a good...

Hey everyone Any advice? He's become really skeptical of every single serving of wet food now and is refusing to eat it because he's clued on that after wet food = drowsy, down time (he's on gabapentin capsules) It also probably affects the taste of the food although, its a really small amount...

Hey guys Humphrey has started to scratch around his food bowl before he eats. I know when they do it after they’ve eaten for a bit to be a signal that they’ve had enough but apparently, if they do it before they eat it means they don’t want the food. He began doing this ever since I started...

Exactly the title subject. Sometimes Humphrey looks so fluffy and his fur puffs out and its so cute. Then some days its more slick (not oily but just not as puffed out and floofy) and it makes him look less pudgy? Anyone else sees this difference in their cat? It's pretty minute and nuanced...

Hi everyone I'm fairly certain that Humphrey has FHS. When I first got him, I just dismissed it as cat zoomies. But as i went down the google hole, I discovered what FHS is and his symptoms match exactly. It's all about that rippling back, the bolting, the meowing and the licking of the back...

Hi gang My humphrey has been displaying some really classic symptoms of allergies. The main one is really just itching and scratching and FHS symptoms ( i think he has this but thats another story ). He however has been lucky enough to be really regular with his stools which are firm, not...

Hi everyone We're about to head into summer here in Australia and there are some really really hot days that are ahead for us. We can easily get to 41 degrees here in January and i'm just thinking about my humphrey and how cats react and deal with hot weather like this. Any tips for keeping...

This ones been puzzling me for ages so any insight would be appreciated. I work from the office 2 days a week. I leave the house at around 850 and then come home at 630. On these days, i feed my cat via the auto feeder and in the morning i feed him myself. When i get home, he paces around...

Hi everyone I've come across this website called vetchat which is like an open chat room which connects you to a vet. It claims to be 24/7, but there's a 45 dollar a month fee. I'm thinking this may be helpful for me to just have someone on call with my questions to do with humphrey, but am...
