I was debating whether to post this in Cat Health or Cat Behavior because I don't think this is a health issue, but it's also about vomiting so I'm posting it here. Both of my cats throw up. No surprises there. One of them likes to hork down his food as fast as possible and will sometimes vomit...

I've had my 4-year-old mini aussie for about 5 months. First 3 months she was separated from my two cats by a baby gate 24/7 so they each got half of the apartment. Last 2 months I've been letting them all mingle during the day, baby gate at night. The cats hiss and whine sometimes when she...

Sorry that this got long, brevity is not my strong suit. I have had two cats, Memphis and Tails, for 10 years. Outside of a betta fish a few years ago, they have been the only pets in my apartment. I recently adopted a mini australian shepherd, Cassie, from the shelter that I volunteer at and...

Some background: my sister's cat Starling was abused as a kitten, resulting in a broken tail, malformed ribs, and very bad teeth. The shelter thought she had been kicked. She's six, was at the shelter since she was a kitten, and my sister adopted her about 18 months ago. Starling came down with...

My cat has a couple of mats or knots in his fur, and this only happens along his spine. He's a shorthair cat, but every other cat in his litter was longhair, and his fur is amazingly thick and soft for a shorthair. His shedding ability is a running joke in my apartment, as is the fact that he...

My cats will sprint around my apartment, making the most pathetic mewls, meows, caterwauls, and any other sound you can imagine. This happens every single day. They run up to me, headbutt me, pretend like they want to play, but then the second I get any of their toys (of which I own EVERY SINGLE...

I have a front sunroom area that is completely enclosed, but not insulated or anything fancy like that. It gets cold in the winter, so I close the door leading to that room. My cats love going out there during the summer and lounging since three of the four walls are nothing but windows, and I...

I made the mistake of leaving a new bag of food on top of the dryer (5 feet from the completely full food bowls, I should add) and one of my cats ripped it open. There are a couple of scratches and a couple of bite holes in the bag. Should I put everything into zip lock bags, then put them...

Tails jumped onto a bookshelf that had a jar candle on it, and walked past the candle too closely so the fur on his side is singed. It smells really bad, as burning hair always does. What should I do? The smell has to be annoying to a cat with a nose 1,000 times better than mine. Should I trim...

My cats are fickle when it comes to playing. They get bored with their toys quickly, so I have had to get creative with how I play with them. For a while I toyed around with the idea of getting a small RC car that I could drive around and the cats could chase after, but i was never sure how they...

I was browsing reddit and came across this funny and cute animated gif. These kittens get so scared that I feel bad for laughing, but I still do

Tails decided he wanted to sit next to me while I was on my computer. Unfortunately, my desk is a bit of a mess at the moment and this is the only place he fit. He stayed exactly like that for 20 minutes. Then, clearly just to confuse me even more, he went straight from his printer perch to...

My cat recently developed a black crust around one of his nostrils. It's only the right side, with the left side looking fine, and you can't notice it unless you're just a few inches from his face. There isn't a ton of crust; just a little black ring right on the edge where the nostril meets his...

Whenever I pet and scratch my tuxedo cat a lot, like 20 minutes at a time, I always end up seeing what looks like dandruff in his black fur. Is this his saliva that I am frothing up by petting him so vigorously? He really likes it when I dig in deep while scratching him, and I feel like Ralph...

I remember reading on here a while back that cats have very sensitive noses. Not in the smelling sense, but in the sense that they generally don't like it when people pet their noses because their noses are physically sensitive. After I read that, I made it my mission to start petting my cats on...

This isn't one of my own pictures, but I found it really funny. This was on imgur so it's definitely in the public domain in case anyone is sensitive to people taking others' work without credit. I tried putting my cats in our back yard one time after it snowed and they did not like it one bit...

I stumbled upon this funny/cute story today about a young brother and sister who really wanted a cat. http://www.barnorama.com/how-to-get-a-cat/

My younger cat Tails, who is about 2 years old, has been scared of strangers since he was about 6 months old. We had a friend stay with my roommate and I for a few months, and he would constantly harass Tails because he was used to dealing with farm dogs that would wrestle and play rough all the...

This is a funny video I stumbled upon today. It's an act in a Russian circus that features a few white cats (and one black & white bicolor) performing tricks. http://izismile.com/2012/10/29/russian_circus_cats_can_do_crazy_stuff.html

I honestly don't know what the problem is. My cats have both been vocalizing like crazy today, and when I come to check it out, they are sitting in the middle of the hallway, not being bothered by anything or doing anything other than being loud and annoying. It is driving me crazy, as this has...
