Ideally I wanna get a catio going by enclosing our patio but that's a ways away yet. Not sure how well a buggy would go over but I'll definitely keep that in mind! Thank you for the suggestion And yes he's my pretty pretty boy, my lil coffee cake! I love him to bitssss

And of course now that I've taken him out he wants it even more, nevermind the strange reaction! Door stalker, this one is.

I don't know if that's really possible, we didn't make it very far from the front patio when he suddenly wheeled about and hissed at me, just a bit down the driveway. It's totally likely he smelled other animals - we live on the back of someone else's property and they have a dog and cat who...

So my kitty Spooky wants to be an outdoor cat, but I prefer he be an indoor cat. I figure a good compromise is to take him on walks with a leash on a harness, and we did this today. He doesn't overly like the harness (though he's not unfamiliar with it) but after about 10 minutes of slinking...

I'm so sorry for your loss, but you can't let yourself dwell on the 'what if', it'll only tear you apart. I believe, reading your post, that you gave him the best life you could give him, and he lived long and healthy because of that. He was loved and knew he was loved, and those are memories...

I mean he's definitely in Some form of discomfort, but I'm not sure if it's a pain response per se. When he's in pain his mouth will pull taut, his whiskers will go slick against his face, and his eyes will be narrow. He'll also sorta just huddle up into himself. Right now his eyes are almost...

I'm going to be calling the vet about this in the morning regardless. My trouble child Spook's bladder became inflamed, preventing him from peeing. We caught it the morning of, and the test results came back clean. He's also peeing since then. But the vet prescribed a couple of medications, one...

Yeah, that's been the hope from the start. Give it time, baby them lots, keep them on the good wet food, lots of fluids, and hope the health problems don't make their life utterly miserable. :c

@FordChick While I appreciate your honesty, I think you're missing the point. It's not the medication that's making me question this, it's the aforementioned environment. As previously stated, my recent move into a smaller home with a new dog some months ago is what has apparently inspired these...

@susan denning Thank you. Sadly, not really. Most of them already have animals or aren't looking to have one, so I'd need to find someone. I likewise don't feel right surrendering him to a shelter, that DEFINITELY wouldn't help. It's just hard to tell if it's appropriate to rehome him, or if I'm...

Absolutely no it's not worth euthanasia. That'd be a tragic waste, I was stunned when the vet suggested as such. I'm just not certain if I'M the proper person to care for him, but I also worry rehoming him could lead to further complications since his complications appear to primarily be stress...

I just don't know if I can properly care for the little guy. This has been a reoccurring issue since we were forced to move into a smaller home with a dog on premises. The vet actually suggested euthanasia because of this, and he's only a 1 year old cat.

Unfortunately my vet is presently closed. He is peeing, eating, playing, and cuddling.

Kitty had a urethral blockage and was given metacam, prazosin, and clavaseptin. I don't know how but I misinterpreted instructions to mean give him a dose once a day, when instead they should have been given twice a day. This also means that the medication regime has been drawn out longer. How...

Yeah, vet bills are ridiculous. I'm not sure where you're located, but where I live there is a thing where you can buy into a pet insurance plan and put money into there monthly to help take care of vet bills. Likewise you may have some luck getting some financial help for certain things (like...

@Furballsmom we're lucky that we have wide windowsills and a wide fireplace, both fairly high, for them to hang out on. They do have a cat tree, but they have to share it, and it's not very large. Considering getting or making more, or expanding on their current one. @abyeb I have! And would...

@Furballsmom We're having issues with feline idiopathic cystitis. Have a thread on that one too. They're anxiety prone because they were abandoned before they were properly weaned, so I need more ways to distract them now that we're in a smaller space...lol

IE stress related bowel inflamation, also called Pandora syndrome. Having some trouble maintaining this, looking for helpful tips and tricks other cat parents use to get their kitties to drink more water, destress them, etc. Thanks!

What are some good DIYs for kitty enrichment in the home? I recently had to make the move into a much smaller basement suite, and my boys are having some trouble adjusting. I'm getting them new toys often and playing with them lots (several times a day), leaving birds and fish on the telly for...

I've given them more food, they should be good for today now <3 And starting tomorrow, a can and a half each instead of that for both of them.
