    Meowing

    I had a female cat who started meowing excessively at about the age of 12. Turned out she was in renal failure, which took a long time to accurately diagnose because she did not have the typical symptoms of excessive drinking/urinating, weight loss, etc. It was diagnosed via blood panel so I...

    My cats won't stop fighting

    I have 5 cats who all get along.....except one of my females & a younger male who joined the family about 4 years ago. Same dynamic of the younger male repeatedly coming up to "play" with my girl who wants nothing to do with him. Now they have developed something of an understanding where they...

    Catio owners: Does your cat not accept being confinded to one?

    Btw we have 5 cats (right now) and some spend more time on the catio than others. We planted cat grass out there and some of them love it and others are indifferent. Same with catnip--some love it, some not so much. They are all different!

    Introduction not going so well...

    They will work it out, it just takes time. I have had dozens of cats over the past several decades & introductions are always stressful, but eventually they figure it our. Also kittens & cats can play very rough, which is painful (at least to me) to watch. Why can't they just groom each other &...

    Catio owners: Does your cat not accept being confinded to one?

    My catio (it's not a real catio, but a cat enclosure built by my husband) is right outside of the side door, so it allows me to keep the side door open & my cats can go from the house to the catio to house to catio at their leisure. They aren't 'confined' so maybe that's why they love it so...

    excessive meowing

    It sounds to me like she is adjusting to the new surroundings. I've had anxious cats in the past, some are just hardwired that way. One cat i had could not stand the carrier & would meow nonstop all the way to the vet, at the vet, and all the way home. It totally stressed me out. And it did get...

    Catio owners: Does your cat not accept being confinded to one?

    My cats love ours but we have a very large one with a huge climbing structure in it. It looks like this.  Not sure how they would react to being put into a small one though.

    My all black foster cat needs a forever home

    I KNOW it is crazy. I have had cats for the past 25 years and I've never had anything but black cats. I have always wanted an orange cat, but when I go in to adopt, I see all the other cats getting adopted, but tons of of black kittens and cats in cages that nobody wants. I'm a city girl, but...

    My all black foster cat needs a forever home

    What a beautiful boy! Posting him on facebook was a good step. If your friends "share" your post, a lot of people will see him. I wish I could take in another cat but currently have 5 black cats -rescues that were never adopted, so I kept them.

    I've terrified my cat :(

    Give yourself a break. Cat's have short memories & she will forget about the incident and & start seeing you as her Knight (Knightess?) in Shining Armor again soon so dont stress. You are clearly a good person.

    Stray Mommy has brought me her kittens and then left!?

    Thank you, Mojave, for helping this poor mama. I too had a pregnant stray adopt me and now have her and one of her (almost grown) kitten (plus a house full of other pets!). I think your mama cat will return...she knows you have food and she needs a lot of calories now. Plus she trusts you even...

    Kenny Glenn should be tried as an adult-horrible animal abuse posted on Youtube

    Yes there is a silver lining to this cloud. I called today and offered to adopt either or both kitties but they told me they've had literally thousands of offers to adopt the cats from all over the world. They said the cats had already been placed and will be in their new homes in a few days, so...

    Kenny Glenn should be tried as an adult-horrible animal abuse posted on Youtube

    Apparently the parents HAVE seen the footage, but like the DA they are treating it like a childish prank (a few people got thru to Sandy Glenn before she changed her # to an unlisted one and she assured them she would take away Kenny's dirt bike....for a whole week ). No concern whatsoever for...

    I am SO angry right now. I called the DA several times today and requested that they try these 2 teenagers as adults.They said their phone has been ringing off the hook all day with angry citizens demanding they not treat this case lightly. But they are doing JUST THAT and are trying them as...

    Hi All, I am so glad everyone is turning their outrage into action. I just called Child Protective Services of Oklahoma and reported this case. If you listen to the video you will hear a young child in the background begging them to stop hurting Dusty. IMO (and in the opinion of the CPS case...

    FYI the website linked in the first post kept crashing yesterday from so much traffic. They're trying to get it back up again. Apparently there are offers from all around the WORLD to adopt and/or help Dusty. I also greatly appreciate everyone's vitriol in this thread. Anger is a powerful...

    Kenny Glenn should be tried as an adult-horrible animal abuse posted on Youtube

    Thanks, you guys. I thoroughly understand that many cat lovers cannot stomach the video. I did watch it and wish it I could erase the horror from my brain. This kid is indeed a sociopath....and his brother was the one filming....and suggesting that they turn the shower on to further torture the...
