Hi, Our new kitten- 8 mos old now- just got a new Beastie Band collar. He’s only had it on for about a week. In that time, he’s gotten his claw stuck in the collar once, and just now I found him with his *tooth* snagged on it somehow- his jaw stuck open. Our 1.5-yr-old cat has had a Beastie...

Hi! Wondering if it’s ok to post cat items for sale on this forum or others? (Have a walking jacket for sale) Thanks!

I posted a couple weeks ago about the new 6-mo-old fixed male kitten we adopted and how he seemed scared and kept hiding. Well, he's got the run of the house now! He's settled right in. And my resident cat Marbles and he are in process working things out- I *think.* But... He keeps going after...

Hi.... Looking for reassurance, I guess, or additional tips maybe?? Our resident female cat, Marbles, is 16 mos now and hasn't seen another cat since she was 9 weeks old. Just adopted a chill little 6-mo-old male 5 days ago. He's barricaded in the living room out of sight. He's sweet and...

We just adopted a new kitten. He has a slightly runny nose and slightly watery eyes now. Vet feels probably herpes. He was found on the street a couple mos ago and had a upper respiratory infection then, so this is probably a recurrence. I'm worried for my resident cat. We've kept the kitten...

Hi all- We just adopted a new 6-mo-old orange male kitten. Background: he was found on the street at 3.5 mos, and has lived with a foster since then. He was with several other cats, and got along fine wth them and would play with them. Foster mom says he is totally a submissive "omega" cat :)...

I have bought Marbles a regular and then a narrow-neck Kitty Holster walking jacket. She is a very small (6.5-lb) slim 1-yr-old cat. In the regular one, she could not bend her neck down- it choked her. She does pretty well with the narrow-neck one, but the entire length of the jacket just seems...

i am slowly working on hopefully getting my now-11-mo-old cat to walk with a harness and leash. Have high hopes of taking her everywhere :) We are still considering *maybe* getting a 2nd cat. If we do- can you walk two cats at once like you can walk two dogs?

I know any injections can cause sarcoma and I also know vets aren't supposed to give vaccines between the shoulder blades anymore because of it. I don't know where she had her vaccines because I didn't see them give them. She did have a rabies vaccine maybe 3 weeks ago and I don't know where...

hi! I just got 9-mo-old Marbles a Beastie Band collar and just put it on for the first time. How long is it likely to take before she stops obsessing about trying to get it off?? She can't focus on anything else right now they than scratching her neck and writhing around on the floor trying to...

not sure if this is the right forum for this or not- Our Marbles is 9 mos old now. If I can get hubs to agree, i really want to get her a cat friend, sometime after we are done vacationing at end of August. How likely is it that a 9-month-old who has been an "only child" since 10 weeks old is...

Just ordered a SafetyKatz walking jacket for my 9-month-old kitten/cat, but it doesn't seem to come with a lead. Where is a good place to get one? And are there different types, and if so what should I look for? New to this. Thanks!

Hi... So Marbles is starting to eat less wet food at each meal. I've fed her wet food 3x/day for months, plus she has dry Simply Nourish Source Kitten out to graze on at all times, including overnight. I want her to be able to eat dry for when I am gone, on vacations etc. Right now she eats...

Is it normal to see a cat's sides moving when she breathes? At rest and/or with activity? I keep reading that cats panting and their sides visibly heaving when they breathe is not normal. Marbles pants when she is running around occasionally, or when it's really hot- I posted about that...

Hi all! I don't remember if I introduced myself on this forum already before :) Marbles is a 7-month old girl who came to us from foster care; she has always lived inside. She looooooves to look outside through our big windows though and chirp at the wildlife. I have been thinking about...

Have any of you ever seen your cats – especially kittens – pant if they are healthy? I had cats my whole childhood and my brother and mother have cats and none of us ever have seen a cat pant before. Marbles, who is now seven months old, has been panting sometimes since her spay (and vaccine...

Marbles has been, til now, eating wet food 3x/day (3/4 can) and 1/8-1/4 cup tops of dry food free-fed over 24 Hrs. For the past two days she's been refusing her 3 pm wet feeding. She ate some dry food in the evening yesterday, then ate her normal 9-10pm wet food (though she is being a PAIN...

Marbles has an appt in the am for spaying. I'm nervous for her! I hate that we'll be causing her to be in pain. Is she too young? If we were to put it off til she's 9 months old- the next time we'll have time to do it and be home with her a few days- is she likely to be going through heat by...

My 5-month-old kitten has been sleeping more and playing less lately. She is playful in the am, then basically naps from around 1 pm until 10 pm, with only short wakes to eat and use the litter box. Late at night she starts playing again. I am not sure how much she also sleeps overnight. She...

Edit- sorry this is so long!! 128522 I have a picky kitten to begin with. Now it seems something in her wet food is making her vomit and have diarrhea. She had two negative tests for parasites. She has ZERO problems on a diet of plain cooked chicken with dry Simply Nourish Source to snack on (no...
