We have two five-year-old boys, Andy and Ollie. We've had them since they were six-months-old. In the last couple weeks, Andy was acting a little weird about the litter box- going in and out repeatedly, somewhat frequently, pawing at the litter a lot. No other behavioral changes, eating &...

We try to avoid giving our cats any seafood-flavored foods. Occasionally, we'll give them some seafood we are eating (like a bite or two, or the liquid from a can of our tuna as a rare treat), because I was told that seafood has little nutritional value for them, it's bad to give them the...

Ollie, who's about a year old, has this weird thing he does when he drinks water. He drapes one of his arms across the bowl while he's drinking; in the video below, it's his right arm, but I think I've seen him do it with the left, too. One theory I came up with is that because it's a big...

Looking for a new litter scoop to use in a Clevercat box with a liner. Something that’s less likely to tear the liner. This one has some not great reviews, mostly complaints about the handle breaking:

We are bringing home two new kittens today from the shelter I volunteer at. They're five months old. At the shelter, they're being fed dry kitten Science Diet and Fancy Feast wet kitten food. We have an 11-year-old cat now, Luna (the black cat in my photo). We feed Nutro Max Cat for dry...

An update to my previous thread. After a phone conversation with the surgeon at the specialty vet clinic who attempted to do the CT back in February, and talking to our regular vet, we've come to the conclusion that this is cancer and because of Albus's age and his prognosis even if we did do...

In early December, our vet came to the house to see Albus (he's the tuxie in my profile picture). His herpesvirus has been especially flared up lately. He gave him a shot of an antibiotics because he thought there could be a secondary infection. While he was here, he noticed that the fur at...

My coworker (first time cat owner) adopted a stray kitten she found in her parents’ backyard over the summer. The kitten was too small to be away from its mother, but mom was gone. I don’t know what my coworker did during that period of time, what she was feeding the kitten. I know the kitten...

Has anyone ever used these? I need ear wipes for one cat (Luna) because she seems to have chronically yeasty ears.  I just cleaned them with Virbac Epi-Otic Advanced Ear Cleaner 3-4 weeks ago and they're already stinky and itchy again. I need eye wipes for the other cat (Albus) because he...

About a year ago, 12-ish-year old Albus and 9-year-old Luna started having watery eyes (always clear, slightly brown-tinted fluid), sneezing fits, and were sounding generally congested.  Albus was worse than Luna, and as this point, her symptoms are mostly gone.  Albus's symptoms persist...

We've had our two cats, Albus and Luna, for several years now.  They were both adopted from the shelter I volunteer at.  Albus is 11 and Luna is 7.  They're like brother and sister- very bonded, affectionate with each other, occasional spats, but nothing lasting more than a minute or two.  ...

Today I'll be taking a cat from a friend in an emergency situation.  Her 2-year-old son was recently diagnosed with cancer and is going through chemo.  They can't keep their cat because his immune system will be obliterated by the chemo.  The cat was at my friend's mother-in-law's house for a...

I need to bring Albus into the vet on Saturday.  He's been having sneezing fits off and on for a few months.  He had his regular exam in April or May and, of course, wasn't having any issues at that time, so the vet didn't really get to see his symptoms.  He's currently in another round of...

Just looking for some more recent opinions of Canidae/Felidae foods.  Right now, my cats are on Nutro Max, dry and wet.  They're about 8 and 11 years and each get a 3oz can a day and we free-feed the dry (neither one is overweight, and other than the stomatitis that they were adopted with...

I'm posting this on behalf of my coworker.  This video is her 10-year-old cat, Zildjian.  She said a couple weeks ago he started walking like this.  No head tilt, even pupils that are responsive to light.  He's eating normally, not throwing up, not disoriented.  She and her boyfriend have poked...

I visited my sister in her new house yesterday.  She has two adult male cats (both neutered).  I didn't notice a bad smell when we first went in, but when we moved from one end of the house to another and passed the litterbox, I was nearly bowled over by the smell.  I asked if it had been awhile...

We've been feeding Albus and Luna Nutro MaxCat, wet and dry, for a couple years without any problem.  My husband feeds them the wet food every night (we free feed the dry and they don't gorge themselves or anything.) He opened a 3oz can of Chicken Supreme Entree and he said there was a "pop"...

Hi, how much time do you have to edit a post after it's done? I mispoke/typed in a thread I started awhile back and I'd like to change the information in there, but the edit option seems to be gone. I may need a moderator's help, but I'm not sure who to contact. It's in the Cat Nutrition...

I post on another online community, one that's not pet-specific, but pets do come up occasionally. A thread was started by someone who got a new kitten, first-time cat owner and was looking for some basic advice, including what food to feed. A few people chimed in, including me. Another...

I'm 100% against declawing and I'm having a little internet debate on another site with someone about it. She says that there's different methods of the declawing and the one her vet did was to take off the nail and shave down the bone, just so the nail doesn't grow back, and in her opinion...
