I work with a rescue and have been fostering kittens for a while now.  We just picked up a pregnant cat from a shelter and was told she would be ready to give birth any day now.  I can feel lumps in her belly but her belly is still a little squishy.  Does it get pretty solid at the end?  She is...

I don't know if I should post this in behavior or health, so I'll stick it in behavior for now. Our 3 year old cat has taken to peeing in the sink. This has been going on for a little while now. I immediately took a urine sample in to get it checked. It came back fine. So we put a Feliway...

Our male cat has started to pee in our sink. I took him to the vet thinking he had a UTI, but no dice. No crystals, no nothing. He was totally clear. I cleaned the sink really well and put a feliway plug-in in the bathroom but I just found he peed in there again today. I'm going to go get...

We've been dealing with some sores and scabs on my cats for a couple months now. We've had multiple trips to the vet and they were thinking food allergies. They gave us a shot of Depo-Medrol and sent us home with z/d canned food. The cat's (open) sores cleared up! We tried NB Duck & Pea food...

My son locked the cat in his room last night. The cat peed and pooped on his bed. *sigh* We always tell my son to leave his door open so the cat can come out to go to the bathroom. Of course, we had just washed my sons sheets and hadn't put the waterproof mattress pad back on the bed yet...

We have been using Kirkland dry food for 6 months with no problems. 2 of my cats have suddenly started itching really bad and getting open sores/scabs all over their bodies. After multiple trips to the vet, the vet put us on Science Diet Z/D wet food. The sores have healed, but the itching...

We have a kitty who has been getting sores. At first I thought it was from the cats playing, but the vet says it's more than playing marks. He has these sores all over his body. (everywhere except his legs) The vet has tried steroids and itch medicine. They are still here. She said the next step...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this or not, but here we go. Is it ok to get a used cat tree? My sister has a cat tree and they don't have room for it anymore. She was going to give it to us. She has 2 cats. Is it ok if we take it? Will it cause any problems with the smell...

I am very familiar with peeing outside of the litter box. But my question is, will a cat pee over dog pee? We had my BIL over and he brought his dog. We think the dog may have peed on our couch. Not totally sure. The couch was wet when we woke up the next morning. I just found that one...

Can someone share why I should be feeding wet all the time? I've had cats all my life (growing up) and we've never done wet food. And I've seen mention about grain free dry food. Why grain free, and what brands are grain free? We have 3 cats now. 1 is a little over a year and 2 are 5...

Never Mind. I started a different thread about wet food and grain free food instead. Sorry for the confusion.

We have 3 cats. 1 is a year old and 2 are 5 months old. We found out my older cat had a corn allergy. We ended up with Blue Buffalo for the older cat. When we got our kittens we switched to Blue Buffalo kitten formula and they all eat that. I have been getting it at Petsmart and I was...

So I have an unusual question. What does it smell like when a cat is marking their area? My 6 month old kitten was sitting on my lap and it suddenly smelled like he farted. He then started licking my pants. He left and it still smells! LOL I smelled my pants where he was licking them and...

I don't know if this is the right place to put this post or not, but I'll give it a go. I have 2 5 month old kittens. They are long haired and they are getting poop stuck to the hair around their bottom and then when they sit down they smear the poop on the carpet. Any good solutions to...

Gosh, I've read so much on this site from last night. I did post about getting my kittens neutered today, but now I'm wondering if I should wait. They're 15 weeks old (so I was told) and they're about 4lbs. The place I'm taking them to says they have to be 2lbs. Is it ok to get them neutered...

I adopted 2 15 week old kittens last week. They were outdoor kittens. We have an appointment to get them neutered tomorrow and when filling out the paperwork tonight I saw they also do vaccines and leukemia testing. Are these necessary? I know we need to get the rabies vaccine by law, but...

My cat was peeing outside of his litterbox. After reading a lot on the behavior forum I found he could have a UTI. I took him to the vet and he did indeed have an infection. So he's been on antibiotics. He had become accustomed to peeing in our living room instead of the box. How can I get him...

I am ready to send my cats to the pound. They have been peeing and pooping out of their litterbox. I have read the sticky at the top of this forum. We have 2 cats, Malakai and Artex. They started pooping and peeing out of their box about 2 weeks ago. First it was a simple poop on the floor. I...

My cat(s) have been peeing on our couches. It went through the couch and into the carpet. I have tried some enzyme cleaner (it was Simple Solutions with Oxy Cleaner in it) and it didn't get the stain & smell all the way out. I have doused it with cleaner a couple times now. I use the...

Is there a way to get urine out of a couch? My cat peed on the couch, in between the coushins, so the pee went down INTO the couch. Is there a way to get it out, or should we throw the couch out? (this is the 3rd couch he's peed on and we have no more furniture!!) Oh, and I'm taking him to the...
