Quick update: I bought Feliway and chamomile tea. Cats no longer get access to balcony and I have blinds that roll down fully and are not see through. No more walks outside as well. It's still not great, but better. Sirius has about 3-4 meowing sessions during the day and one or two during the...

Not a colony, but I live in apartment building with 60+ apartments, on 2nd floor (so close enough to the ground that you can see and hear other cats). There are at least 4 cats that I see regularly right below our windows/balcony and a few more that wander around. They are all owned by people...

He is neutered. The vet thinks it’s because he sees and hears all the cats outside (I see/hear them myself so Sirius definitely does), and because he does eat, sleep and play (he loves da bird and laser toys) that it’s “not that bad”. I called and asked my previous vet and she too is not worried...

I need your help. :( I moved a month ago from a big city to a small town. My two cats Sirius (3y) and Remus (2y) took the move pretty well, the next day they were back to their usual routines and Sirius stopped attacking my hands (a problem I wrote about here). But the problem is that he wants...

@ArtNJ @Elfilou I followed your advice and did two things: 1) for now when I am about to go to bed, I remove my cats out of the bedroom and close the door (breaks my heart because Remus spends at least 10 minutes sadly meowing at the door) and 2) I stopped acting scared. I guess because Sirius...

Happened again tonight, seems like bed = 100% attack. As soon as I sat down in bed, I could feel Sirius’ eyes on me and within a minute I got attacked. He did not listen to NO and tried again and again, he ignored me trying to distract him with toys and as soon as blood was drawn, I put him...

@rubysmama I have a disinfectant for wounds that I pour over them after it happens, all of them look okay for now. This is sad because I suffer from a really bad health anxiety (due to sudden death in the family) and just a thought of possible infections make my anxiety go haywire. But I guess...

@rubysmama Sirius was my favorite from HP and I found it funny to name my cat after a dog, but he's black so Sirius Black it was. And his more thoughtful buddy of course was Remus. THANK YOU for all those links, especially the one about moving. I like the idea of safe room in both places, and...

I have written before about my two adopted cats - Sirius (3y) and Remus (2y). Overall they both are sweet and get along well, they play with each other a lot and while Sirius is the ‘leader’, they don’t seem to have any problems. I have been to the vet with both of them quite recently and their...

Funilly enough I actually sprained my ankle a week ago so that was the first thing that made me wonder if Sirius has injured himself. :( But as you said, sometimes we never find out what happened. So far none of the tests show anything and all vets and I can do is guess. But thankfully he really...

I ended up going to the emergency vet because he seemed to be in major pain around 9PM, they gave him shots for pain and told me to come back tomorrow for blood tests and sonogram and watch if he goes to the litter box and come back if he doesn't or stops eating completely. His bladder wasn't...

Monge wet food tuna, he eats maybe a can per week or less? It's the small can, I split it between my cats. He eats all the other wet foods on a daily basis but tuna/fish ones are usually a treat. I gave it to him because the vet recommended to give him something he would eat,since he ate so...

My cat has been lethargic for the past few days, eating and drinking less, not playing with the other cat and at first I assumed it's because of the heat wave we had, but this morning I noticed he was walking with arched back and super slowly (he's usually fast, playful etc.) so I took him to...

Sirius: Thriller by Michael Jackson Remus: All You Need is Love by John Lennon Both are super fitting. :D

@lisahe omg, you learn something new every day. I knew there are freeze-dried kibble types (like Orijen) and treats but did not know it's possible to get freeze-dried raw food (I assumed it's the same as frozen raw meat), I have to look into that and see if I can get anything shipped to Latvia...

Thanks, Sarah! I read the thread and learned quite a lot, I really don't know much about raw diet so it's nice that there are people who know much more than I do. :D That's what I thought... for now I will give them meat as a treat only to be on the safe side. As for the pre-mix, if I find one...

I have two cats (1.5y and 2y old) that I adopted almost a year ago, I am feeding them with grain-free complete wet food (Animonda Carny, Weruva, ZiwiPeak etc.). I rotate the wet food (brands and "tastes") to keep it interesting and more nutritious and they seem to be happy about it. Recently I...

I adopted two male cats four months ago and they spent the first 4-6 weeks going nuts during the night, I had little to none sleep due to all the noise they made while playing and chasing each other. And then they slept through the day while I was trying to work and not fall asleep.  What...

JennyR, indeed they can! The tiny meows and sad eyes are so hard to resist! And since they are shelter cats in my head I feel like I need to make sure they are extra happy to make up for their past experiences (Remus was taken home by someone else and then brought back to shelter a few days...

How long has it been since he does that? One of my cats used to try to wake me up around 4-5am to play with me and only stopped when I started to ignore him completely, after a week or two he realized I won't  react and now he sleeps until my alarm rings. I think he is just bored, a night...
