Hi all, I might be moving to a bigger home this year and considering whether to take on a third cat if that happens. Our current home is tight with our 2 cats, there isn’t space to add another litter box, feeding zone etc. Both cats are neutered males and they are both turning 8 this year...

Hi all, my cat family is apparently continuing on their quest to bankrupt us. My spouse says our big orange boy had something weird happen today. He was excitedly watching several birds in the window when he suddenly flopped to his side. He was standing on his blanket on the desk at the window...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and has any tips or tricks they could share with me. I have an IBD cat who is on a special rabbit diet. He is very much a grazer and eats sporadically throughout the day and night. His IBD flares and he has vomiting if he goes a...

I was holding my big orange male (neutered) last night and realized he has a lump in the center of his chest. It feels fairly soft to the touch but it's definitely protruding. A little bit bigger than a quarter in diameter. He will be 7 in April. I called the vet this morning and they gave me...

Hi all, my cat was recently diagnosed with IBD and the specialist wants him to eat only rabbit at the start of his treatment. I'm assuming this will be a short term elimination type test but I will clarify that soon. His previous diet was mostly poultry and seafood. The vet recommended rx Rayne...

Hi all, hope it is OK to make a new topic so the update on Picky Tabby is not buried in another thread. So it turns out all the problems I've been having feeding Picky Tabby the last 4 years are probably because he has IBD. I'm kind of disappointed in the vet for not picking up on it til now...

Hi, I had posted a month or two ago about my struggles with feeding my very picky hungry cat. I got lots of good advice and I've been able to get both my cats back on a feeding schedule. Picky Tabby weighs 10lbs and Orange Tabby weighs about 14lbs. Both are 5 years old. I mentioned in the last...

Hi all, I'm looking for help on how to fix a problem I've created! I have two 5 year old males. One is a 14lbs ginger tabby, the other is a 10lbs grey and white tabby. Both are healthy weights. Both cats have had recent thorough workups to make sure there are no health issues. We originally...

I need to purchase new window treatments and I have fallen in love with sheer shades like these Sheer Shades | Horizontal Sheer Shades | Blinds.com™ because they let the natural light in but still provide privacy. Our existing window blinds are faux wood blinds, they are fairly thick and...

Hi all, you've helped me so much before and I have a new cat mystery to solve. One cat is a male grey tabby, approximately 9-10lbs and 1.5 years old. The other cat is an orange male tabby, approximately 12-13lbs and nearly 2 years old. Both are healthy and good weight for their size. I posted...

I am afraid that my white and grey tabby may have an issue with his skin. When we first got him almost 1 year ago he had a couple of small round black spots in the front of the ear area. The inside of the ear itself has always looked pretty clean. I was unable to clean off the spots and if I...

Both of my two boys are around the same age (1-1.5yrs) and indoor only cats. They are good friends and love to chase and wrestle each other every morning and night. It is good exercise for them and keeps them from being so clingy with us. I posted in here earlier this year about how my larger...

Has anyone recently traveled to Germany with their cat under the seat? I am wondering whether it is better to fly Lufthansa or one of the American airlines in that situation - possibly one is more friendly than the other? I read other posts where people mentioned flying with cats to Europe in...

Hello, I have two boy cats, both are approximately 1 year old. One is a little bit older than the other. I am feeding them high quality canned food twice a day, in the morning and at night. 5-6oz in the morning and 12oz at night to share between the two of them (they eat less in the...

My 1 year old neutered orange tabby has not been having a good week. We noticed that he was very lethargic and was sleeping a lot about a week ago. It got worse to the point where he wasn't really eating and he would barely move from the same spot. He is an indoor cat and we have another...

Does anyone else have cats that seem to vocally "talk" to each other? I read online that cats only use meowing/vocal communication towards humans and that they communicate with each other through body language. I have not found that to be the case with my two cats. We have a male orange tabby...

Hi all,  I took in an active 9 month old orange tabby male about a month ago. He was roaming around outside for a couple of months prior to that and he was pretty slender when we first got him. He is not a picky eater and loves to eat every cat food so far, but he especially loves anything...
