But….I brought him to the vet and he is not constipated nor does he have a urinary blockage. What the heck? Im freaked out. The vet said bring him back if it continues but what is going on? He is just squatting in the litter box. He isnt leaving. A behavioral thing?

Hey all, my boy Rascal needs to plump up. He is down to 7.3lbs and is skin and bones. He really likes grilled chicken. Do you think I can feed him some daily to increase his calories? He eats about a can of food a day, he needs more. I tried the gel that goes in his ear but it didnt work. Unless...

My 15 yo cat, Rascal, has late stage kidney dIsease and is very anemic, We are loving him and making him as happy as we can. He seems to have some weird symptoms, though. The fur on his nose is receding and he has two dark marks on both sides under his nose, looking very much like a mustache...

My boy has stage 4 kidney disease and is super anemic as a result and wont generate many new red blood cells. Any tips? There is an injection I can give but I was hoping there are also some tricks/tips from experienced cat owners. Thanks, all.

Just in case this could help someone else, I wanted to share my experience. My cat has kidney disease, stage 4 😥 and constipation was a big problem. We thought it would do him in. We randomly changed his food to kidney & mobility (which we thought was kidney and motility - for constipation)...

Hello all, I am looking to you all for some information and guidance. My old boy (15 years) Rascal, was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease,. It went pretty fast and it is also possible the vet missed it and we didn’t intervene early enough. But here we are. I don’t know what to expect. I am...

Hey folks, Up at 5am and a bit worried about my boy and waiting to hear back from the vet. My 15 year old male had chronic diarrhea and was prescribed prednisone 5 mg daily for a week. His last two bowel movements contained a spot of red blood in it. It isn’t “bloody stool” but seems like...

Sometime overnight he got to one of my surgical masks (covid 😡) and chewed about half the string off on one side.! Don’t see it around the house, so I assume he ate it. What do I do?!?!

the vet said my cat has a little bit of feeling left, but his hind leg is useless. He drags it around. They said it could be months to determine if it will be permanent. Anyone with experience with this? I would love to hear success stories, but I want the reality too.

i have an itchy kitty with allergies. Claritin doesnt work and I really am not comfortable giving him steroids. Any thoughts?

Hello, My 8 month old kitty keeps licking and nibbling mostly on his legs. He also sometimes sticks out his necks and seems to be exhaling as to clear his throat. I tried claritin and steroids. I do not know what he is allergic to. He is otherwise a healthy kitty and has been checked out by my...

Years ago, I moved into an apartment with new carpet. You could still smell the glue and fumes since they put it in so recently. Two days after moving in my cat started having seizures. I moved out a year later when my lease was up, but he already had chronic seizures which continued for the...

I have tried wet, dry...over 7 brands at least. He will take a few licks and leave. I even poured tuna juice and he licked the juice and left. He is 3montha old and I worry about him getting his nutrients. Otherwise, he is a happy and VERY active kitty. Vet check-up was all good. Any advice?

I see it too often on the thread that cats are constipated. Are they putting shit into the food that they shouldn't? What is going on? Anyone else notice a trend? My vet even mentioned it.

I wrote this question before, but I want to be more specific. I am going away for one week. I have a 3 month old cat and an 11 year old cat. I was going to board the three month old but most vets only have a steel cage and the facilities that have the cat condos are pricey, about 40/day minimum...

i found a beautiful kitty that I love. I can adopt him tomorrow but I am going away july 1-7. Thats about three weeks to acclimate and learn to chill with my cat I already have. I would have a cat sitter come in but they would be alone for most of the day. What should I do? Is three weeks long...

My boy Rascal will NOT lose weight. We tried several prescription foods, OTC weight loss food, everything! In general, he doesn’t eat a lot at all. Maybe one to one and a half cans a day. Over night we leave out a 1/4 cup dry in a timed feeder otherwise he wakes us. Now, recently we had to stop...
