    Cat Suddenly Finnicky

    Hi All, Finn, who was once a voracious eater, is now turning his nose up at virtually anything I offer him. I have offered 3 different canned food flavors and won't even eat the high quality kibble I keep on hand. The ONLY thing he will eat is the Iams kibble that the rescue sent home with me...

    Greasy Ears From Antibiotic Drops

    Hi guys, My Finn was prescribed ear drops for a yeast infection. While Finn is already feeling much better, the drops are oily and have made the hair around his ears really greasy. Does anyone know a good way to clean up his ears and get rid of the greasiness? I think there is an old thread...

    Playing? Fighting? Dominance? Both?

    Hi guys, Finn likes to travel with me to my S/O's parents' house, which is great because he has a loving home to go to when I travel instead of having to do drop-in visits from a sitter. They have an adult female cat, Luna, who Finn seems to love to antagonize. Finn gets along great with the...

    "around" Brand Canned Food?

    Hey guys! So I was in a pinch today and needed to pick up some canned food and came across a grain free brand called "Abound" at Kroger. The ingredients checked out okay I think... I'm not really an expert. The 5.5 oz can was only like 80 cents, which seems too good to be true. I picked up a...

    Transitioning Out Of Free Feeding

    Hi all, When I adopted my cat Finn, he was being fed canned twice a day and free fed kibble by his foster mom. I was told he is 2 years old but I'm fairly certain he is NOT 2 and is probably more like 8-10 months. He still gets canned food twice a day and is free fed kibble. I've read that...

    Hello From Ohio!

    Hi guys! I'm not totally new to TCS and have posted a few times because I was a foster mama a few times this year. But I finally found the most perfect kitty to call my own and wanted to introduce Finn! He was picked up by animal control when the cops were called about a child throwing kittens...

    Barn Cat To House Cat?

    Hey all, My aunt has a small hobby farm with a couple of barn cats. A woman who helps out around the farm recently brought a cat with her who was apparently in a bad situation or left homeless (that is the only information I have about his past), knowing that my aunt would provide him a safe...

    Kitten Playpens?

    Hey all, I will be getting a couple of foster kittens in the next couple of months. With my previous fosters, I have kept them in my bedroom all night, which is always fun for a couple of nights, but not really sustainable for me for a month straight. The bed always turns into a NASCAR...

    Maine Coon vs. Ragdoll

    First off, let me apologize if this is not the best place for this post - feel free to steer me in the right direction! Right now, I do not have a cat of my own but foster kittens about every couple of months for the local veterinary hospital. I will be adopting my own cat or kitten once my...

    Moving with new kitten

    Hi guys! I recently rescued an 8 week old kitten. She is beautiful, affectionate, and adjusting okay. She is a little skittish and is not nearly as easy going as my previous fosters, who I could pack up and take anywhere and they would romp and play wherever you put them. She likes to explore...
