    Do any of your cats put their toys in their food dish?

    Adding in to say that I have a water dish toy dropper. I have so many of those little toy springs and he loves dropping those into his water dish and then trying to get it out. I always love the 50/50 chance that he knocks the water bowl over completely!

    Does Pet Insurance cover seeing a dermatologist?

    Unfortunately, with insurance, if there's already a skin irritation issue that your cat is experiencing, then it would be a pre-existing condition and most (if not all) pet insurance won't cover those. Honestly, the best time to get pet insurance is either when they're a kitten and have a clean...

    Can a fat cat injure themselves from a fall?

    Just from my experience, soreness/joint pain can absolutely happen from overweight kitties! My girl Stevie was almost 13lbs at one point and had a bit of a limp in one front leg after jumping off the counter. She's down to 11lbs as per her last vet visit and the limp disappeared. I was giving...

    Cat changes in behavior on fluoxetine

    I know the struggle! Oliver initially went on it because he wouldn't pee in the litterbox. Nowadays he's much better at using it, but still prefers to pee on a pee pad in one specific spot. I wish you luck with your kitty. It can feel very exhausting when you just want them to feel better but...

    Cat changes in behavior on fluoxetine

    Oliver has been on fluoxetine since September and has been on an increase in his dose since the end of February. He's very high stress/high anxiety so, for now, it's something necessary for him to be on. I noticed positive changes in his personality after a month of use. He did begin to sleep...

    Hungry Cat and Wants to Eat All the Time

    At the last vet visit, they told me one of mine was 12lbs and I actually had to ask them to repeat WHO was 12lbs because I couldn't understand where he was putting it. :lol: Levi's over a year old and a very long lanky thing who gets between 250-300 calories a day and he's a 4/5 on the cat body...

    Coughing after leaning neck on cat tower?

    You're not alone! One of mine does this, too, and I had a cat before him that also did the exact same thing and I was always so baffled because it's so strange. It's been brought up to my vet before and she gave him a full examination and didn't feel anything wrong around his throat/neck. But...

    Day light savings time

    I'm lucky enough to work from home and set my own schedule so, as far as the cats are concerned, nothing changed since I just adjusted my sleep/work schedule an hour. :lol: They used to get fed around 7am but now they get fed around 8am and they're none the wiser!

    What is your favorite cereal 🥣

    One does not simply choose a single favorite! I have many and they're all mostly childhood favorites. Fruity and Cocoa pebbles, Cocoa Puffs, Cap'n Crunch (cut the roof of your mouth deliciousness!), Trix, Corn Pops, French Toast Crunch, etc. etc. The adult part of me would like to say that I...

    What's For Dinner? - 2023

    I pulled out a salmon filet to thaw and am mulling over some ideas. I've been on a big Greek/Mediterranean kick lately, so may go that route with it!

    Camera to monitor cats?

    I just recently purchased the Wyze v3 Cam and have been liking it so far! It has two way audio and according to the description it has night vision capabilities, though I haven't tried it out myself. So far, I only use the camera to check in on the boys upstairs while I'm downstairs getting...

    How long until your cat tries something new?

    Oh I've tried! Catnip and treats are the only thing that's been in that bed. :lol:

    How long until your cat tries something new?

    I've been pretty lucky in the sense that mine will pretty much immediately react to anything new they're being given, almost as if they're humoring me by acting like they'll use and enjoy it. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. :lol: There have been toys that have been very played with to...

    Experience with fluoxetine?

    My 1 year old orange boy was put on it in September to help with anxiety and inappropriate urination. He had bloodwork and a urinalysis and everything came back normal so we decided to try it and were prescribed Reconcile. I've noticed a lot of really great results just in his general...

    Teeth brushing questions

    I think some brushing is better than no brushing! With three cats that absolutely don't like having their teeth brushed, it's a struggle for me to do all three of them consistently so my rule is that, at the very least, I do once a week. But I like to shoot for three days a week or every other...
