I've been doing a lot of enrichment for my dogs (Kongs, Lickimats, pumpkin ice cubes, chews, etcs.) and realized that the cats are a bit left out. I want to give them some more to do, especially since none of them are the most playful or active cats. I thought more mental stimulation would be...

Merry Christmas from my furbabies to yours! The dogs too:

Hello everyone. I'm trying to figure out if my cat might have a sensitivity to an ingredient in her food. I have three cats total. They get American Journey turkey and chicken wet foods, Purina One dry food, and Fancy Feast wet. I figure the most obvious ingredients would be the chicken and...

Hello everyone. I have a 6 year old female cat who gets cold quite easily. This is made worse by the fact that she's missing quite a bit of fur on her lower belly and down her back legs. We tend to keep the house cold in the winter and are trying to get her used to wear clothes. She does alright...

Hey everyone! I'm looking for some new toys for my cats. They get bored with things so quickly and there've been a couple of things we got that fly which caught their interest, but neither were really good toys. The first was just a cheap toy given to me at some point. You put a little disk in...

Hey everyone! I got my second pair of fosters this past Sunday. I think they may be lab/hound crosses, but not sure. They have good noses on them! Their both girls and their names are Zena and Zara. Well, Zara's "official" name is Yellow Dog, but we weren't about to go around calling her Yellow...

Hello everyone. My eight year old, neutered male has recently gotten sick. We had something go around that got them all. It started with my dog, got my two foster puppies, and moved on to the cats. Ember was the first of the cats, then Frost, and Ash got it last. However, Frost is the only one...

Hey, everyone! I got my first two foster puppies a couple of weeks ago. They're about eleven weeks I think. They're brothers from a litter of six and are terrier mixes. They're named Leon (little brown pup) and Lamont (bigger black pup) They're wonderful little pups and I've really enjoyed...

Hey everyone. It seems Ash has been getting constipated quite a bit lately. The other day I found him covering some poop with a towel that he usually laid on. I've never had issues with any of them pooping outside the litter box before. However, last night I did see him struggling a bit to go...

Hey all. I wasn't sure where to put this. One of our fountain bowls broke recently and I'm looking for a different brand. We have two Whisker City bowls and I hate them both. The one that broke is, of course, the larger and more used one. While I'm happy to be replacing it and said not long ago...

Hello everyone. I have a very weird question today. Somebody dropped a little piece of poop on the floor today, so I was checking butts and found poop stuck on Ash. I think he got a bit constipated as it was quite hard and dry even though I know it just happened since that poop on the floor...

Hey everyone. This time I'm looking for some help in keeping my cats off the counters. They used to be relatively okay about it. I mean, I have no doubt they'd be up there when we weren't around. I could hear them jumping down in the middle of the night. That never really bothered me though...

Hello everyone. I'm here because my first attempt at doing TNR has gotten more complicated than I expected. And I haven't even gotten a trap yet! A while ago my brother moved into a house a couple of streets over from us and he mentioned a "crazy cat lady" that had a bunch of cats. Well, of...

Hey, everyone. I know I should probably be posting on a dog forum, but people are nicer here. Basically, the situation is I have a 4-5 year old, 15lb, female Chihuahua x Pom named Stella. She's what I call people-confident. She loves everyone, always happy to see people. But she wasn't...

Hello everyone. I was gone this past weekend. I left Friday night and came back earlier today. My mom took care of the animals while I was gone as per usual. However, when Ember rolled over on her back, I saw the fur on the bottom part of her stomach down her legs was much shorter than the rest...

Hey everyone. I have a neutered male cat named Ash. He's a purebred Napoleon and will be eight years old this summer. He's around 10lbs, was 11lbs before he got sick and lost a lot of weight. He has arthritis in his back legs and is on glucosamine for it which helps a lot, but sometimes he has...

Hey, everyone. My seven year old, neutered Napoleon male named Ash came down sick this week. Not eating, lethargic... He threw up a couple of times, had some diarrhea. We took him to the vet Monday. He got fluids, a shot for nausea, and some oral medication for us to give him every 12 hours. The...

Hey all. I'm doing a research essay for school about hybrid animals and if we should be breeding them. I'm covering both wild x wild hybrids such as ligers and wild x domestic hybrids such as Bengals. I've pretty much already made up my mind about the wild x wild hybrids, but there's a lot of...

Hello everyone. Today I'm here about Ash(of course) because he seems to be losing quite a bit of fur. I wish I had noticed it earlier and I vaguely did, but I didn't think too much into it. I mean, he loses fur all the time. Just not quite to the same extent. There have been little clumps of fur...

Yesterday I cut my cats' claws and, as I worked on Ember's paw, I noticed one of her nails was broken really low. I mean, there was barely any claw left. I was quite shocked as I hadn't noticed any signs of discomfort. I would have expected to see blood everywhere. I hit the dog's quick not that...
