I have two cats, they will be 9 in November. They have both been to the vet and had blood work and are completely healthy. My girl has started peeing on herself. She will go into the litter box and pee, but it will get all over her back legs, and she doesn't clean it off. She is overweight @...
So I just discovered a really fun game for my cats.
Play this video as background noise:
Bring out 'Da Bird' toy, play as usual, let them 'catch' the bird, give them a treat afterwards. They groomed and went right to sleep after!
My mother in law just moved into a new place that has a resident cat and she has 2 cats of her own. So we've got 1 mean cat, 1 curious cat, and then the resident cat who is being standoff-ish (but also curious). I have one calming collar, which cat would benefit from it the most? (I'm going to...
One of my cats just doesn't like toys. She likes chasing springs. She used to like wand toys but it seems the older she gets the more bored she is by them. I really want to find her something she'll play with
Here's the test results. We're doing a urine culture but can't do any more tests after that. Where do I go from here? I have changed his food to low phosphorus. Is it just a waiting game now? His behavior and demeanor are normal.

One of my cats is getting a dental Tuesday. She's 7 and this is her first. Her blood work checks out so we're good to go.
This is my first dental experience, so I just wanted to see if there's anything I should know about post-dental care.
Obviously I will ask my vet Tuesday, but I'm curious...
Does anyone here have a cat with anxiety AND compromised kidneys? My boy has hyperesthesia. He is very high strung and it makes him aggressive. He currently takes Prozac but I just read it is not good for the kidneys. Looking for safe alternatives.
My cats went in for their annuals today. My boy's labs came back with a creatinine of 2.4 and AMY of 1106. The vet says the elevated AMY is probably because he has IBD.
They weren't able to get full labs because he is aggressive, so we have to go back for a urinalysis and SDMA later next week...
Nature's Variety is changing their packaging and I think Amazon is trying to clear out old packaging. I feed the limited ingredient version so I don't know if this is a good price, but 12.1 lb for $28:
This seemed crazy so I wanted to share. If it's not abnormal then ignore this lol
I...
My cat has a urinalysis last month, and I just saw the results today. His pH was incredibly high - 8.5. But everything else was normal - no crystals, etc.
What do you think about this? Should I be concerned?
Has anyone used cbd oil for their cats? I'm talking about a tincture made from high cbd/low thc hemp. (Legal in all 50 states of the US) I'm looking at it to help my cat with IBD, feline hyperesthesia, and anxiety. My vet says he has no personal experience with it.
My cat ate a canned food with carrots in it at 8pm last night, then a different canned food without carrots at 3:30 am, and at 11am he threw up carrots. Have they been sitting in his stomach this entire time? He's eaten these foods for the last week and a half and just threw it up. Do I need to...
I'm trying to narrow down the source of Simba's IBD. So far the common denominator in each of the food he's thrown up is fish in the forms of "fish" (friskies canned), "fish meal" (nature's recipe dry), and "Menhaden fish meal" (nature's variety instinct dry). However there is Salmon and...
How long does a box of Addiction dehydrated cat food last? I read that one 2lb box hydrates up to 9lbs of food, but can't figure out how long that would last. I have two 13lb cats.
One of my cats was just diagnosed with IBD and I'd like to try raw but I'm on a fixed income, therefore incredibly...
One of my cats went to the vet today. We did a bunch of unrelated tests and I'll get the results of those tomorrow.
But today, the vet says Simba more than likely has IBD. We are going to discuss it further tomorrow when we talk about the test results. What should be my first line of treatment...
