I know I'm not the only person who has a cat who lays like this, but thought I'd see if others have pictures! She seems perfectly comfortable with her hips completely open. Figure she might be double jointed there? Most cats can open fairly wide but it normally isn't a super comfortable position...

My kitten has a kinked tail. The vet we saw said it was likely due to trauma. She said that most kittens born with a shortened tail are either bob tailed or manx (very short stub or almost no tail). I'm not completely sure I agree. We adopted her at 9 weeks and her tail showed no sign of trauma...

I picked up two new foster kittens. They seem to be around 4 weeks old but a little hard to tell. One of them seems to be doing some odd things with his head. First one is trying to kind of chase his tail? Goes is slow circles sort of obsessively. I know that could just be a normal developmental...

Anyone have garter snakes at their house? Our past boy (RIP) had many run ins with them. I was so stressed when I'd find him playing with one. Worried he'd get bitten and come to find out - also the snake musk! Several ended up in the house even. When the snakes were maimed we'd end their...

I've fostered dozens of kittens over the years (since 2011) but this is our first time fostering an adult cat. The rescue said she has some wounds/scabs that their vet thinks might be related to allergies. So, as a goofy name, I've been calling her Scabby Gabby. We'll get her tomorrow afternoon...

Just curious - do any of you use a "doorbell" for your cats to either go outside or come back inside? I've been having my cat sit patiently to go outside (not demanding by meowing or acting crazy) but when he wants to come inside, he just jumps at the handle which I can hear "flapping" and then...

My current cat is feisty and a bit bitey when he's upset or mad or wild or really affectionate. I've worked with him a lot on it and now he doesn't bite nearly as much. But I was just checking his paws because I thought he might be bleeding from one and he was biting me. I yelped and said "No!"...

Here is my Henry! He always kicks out one leg when he's resting. We call it his sexy leg!

Over the past few years I have been THROUGH it. My 2 beloveds passed - one suddenly and one drawn out. When we felt ready we got some new family members. Here are my current 2: They have had some health and behavior issues. So I have just been drained from the worry, stress, and vigilance. I...

Does anyone have experience with keeping their cats separated while on vacation? I have a 2 week vacation coming up and our cats are on 2 different foods. Typically when we're gone we let the cats free feed so we don't need someone to come over multiple times a day. One cat is all about food and...

Hi All, I have 2 kittens - about 8 months old (boy) and 10 months old (girl). My girl kitten is very mellow, laid-back, and calm. She plays some but if she does it's usually more hunt/stalk than tearing around. My boy kitten is a Siamese mix and very energetic. He gets his zoomies and when he...

Is it normal for a 10 month old kitten to not be very active? We've had her about 7 months and she's never been a hyper kitten. When she plays she takes a pretty laid back approach. Generally she prefers to just sit and nap. She's like an old cat at 10 months old! Is that normal? Has anyone else...
