    Cat's not-so-good bw results

    It was his creatine level. I've requested a copy of the report. I'll share it here once as I receive it. Yes; either IBD or IBS. Not sure what the difference is. But he's on budesonide and vit b12 for that. I've heard that the steroid/budesonide can compound/make worse the heart...

    Cat's not-so-good bw results

    I got back my cat's bloodwork results. His kidney values were slightly elevated (by .1) and his white blood count was down. I have been working on transitioning him to a raw diet (ground chicken). The vet advised against this, saying it's a high protein diet ,and very taxing for the kidneys...

    Fair share of play time

    I have two cats. The one that was here first, is about 9 years old. My new one, about 2 years old, is about half his size. When I try to play with him, he looses interest when she comes around, and starts wanting to play. For example, I was playing with him, and then she woke up from her nap...

    Flea/Tick Treatment

    I have two cats; They were given Bravecto, and they are due for their next dose beginning of May. The vet charges me $72/tube, which covers ticks and fleas, and lasts 3 months. Just wondering if there is any cheaper alternatives out there, that will cover both ticks and fleas for them? I see...

    Letting indoor cats out on patio

    I go in and out a lot, and it seems like my cat wants to go out and explore a bit. I have an enclosed small patio area. My concern is that he may get ticks and fleas. Does anyone else let their indoor cat out for a bit, or is this a bad idea?

    Thoughts & recommendations on robo vacs

    I found this deal: Wyze Robot Vacuum. It is on sale, and wondering if it is good for cleaning up after cats, in particular litter and cat hair? Does anyone else have a robo vaccum that they like, that they could recommend? Thoughts on this one?

    Cat got spooked

    So my (relatively) new cat was looking out the window. She's a year and some months old. There is another cat in my household, that is about 8. They get along. They both have looked out the window together, and have looked outside of the windows individually. This morning, as she was...

    Playtime recommendations

    Thanks! I think he will like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WP7F8YC/?tag=thecatsite. He LOVES anything that rustles and moves about on the ground! Especially stalking his prey! I actually use to have a tunnel, and just rustled a stick under it and it would get him going...

    Playtime recommendations

    I will admit, I don't play with my cat as much as I probably should. But he is hard to play with. He is about 6 years old. I've attached two images. The first is a stick that has the item seen in the second photo, attached. He likes to attack the small tiny shiny silver piece when it is...

    Cat with Possible IBD

    I am told by my Vet. that my 6 year old cat probably has IBD. He throws up a lot, frequently during the week, but no diahrea. He is a picky eater, but seems to be OK with wet food. My vet. would like to do a full panel of bloodwork and an ultrasound. I was told by them that all they could...

    Cat covering up food

    The food is located in my bedroom, and they are indoor cats. I've thought the same thing, about one of them not liking their food, causing them to do this.

    Cat covering up food

    I've noticed that my cats will cover up their food sometimes with my clothes. Has anyone else experienced this? What does it mean?

    Litter Boxes

    Thanks for the response, Jem! He does not ambush him while/after using the litter box. I actually just ordered a cat tree and a wall climbing furniture.

    Litter Boxes

    Yup, no issues. It's just been that my 5-year old cat has been antagonized by my kitten, who constantly wants to play and wrestle that it is stressing out my older cat. I need to find ways to reduce stress on him, so this was brought up.

    Litter Boxes

    I have two cats, and I have two litter boxes at this time. I was told I should have three. I have the two next to each other and was told by the vet. that they might be considered one since they are right next to each other. Would putting a divider between them, then considered two? I don't...

    Cat kneading, purring and biting on blanket

    I've noticed my kitten will purr madly, knead the blanket, and bite down on it. But my older cat does not do this. Why is he doing this?

    Kitten jumping up onto counters

    I would say my issue is two-fold here. But I recently got a kitten. He likes to jump up onto my kitchen counter tops, which I do not like. I've tried putting coffee grounds on the edges, but he still jumps up there and even licks them sometimes. What is the best way to deter him from doing...

    Food Stealing

    What are your thoughts on leaving the older cat's food on top of the washer? I will maybe switch to wet food since it is healthier, and they can both eat it. It's just that if my older cat eats any other type of dry food than Purina GI dry food, he throws it up (it's also expensive).

    Food Stealing

    I just got a kitten (about 6 months old now), and I've had another cat, about 5 years old. The older one eats wet food, since most of his teeth were pulled. The kitten eats kibble. I notice that the kitten likes the other's food, and constantly tries to steal it, even after scolding and...
