My in-laws' cat was diagnosed with cancer today, after just a few days of vomiting and some rapid weight loss. It's in his kidney and it is, apparently, some rare form. The cat is between five and eight years old, he's been neutered and declawed and that's all we all know - someone literally...

I just can't figure out if she drinks enough on a daily basis. Well, actually, she does not drink at all. She used to, months ago, when we first got her and when she ate pretty much dry food only. Ever since we switched to about 95% wet, she doesn't care for her water bowl at all. I can't say...

A friend of mine, cat newbie, ended up with a pregnant cat. They were about to go in to get her spayed, but the cat was faster with her plans. They'll keep the kittens, so that part is not that big a deal. This will be the cat's first litter; she's pretty young. However, they wonder about a few...

This could as well be behavioural problem, but I guess I'll place it here. I've already written a novel on how our cat gobbles down her food and sometimes even pukes from swallowing it all within two seconds. Well, that has changed. For the past couple weeks, maybe even a little bit longer...

...but the other day, it just happened - we ordered it. Today it was delivered. And now, Sarma Kittica is in love with it:

So, after about four months of struggling with our cat's horrible food habits, or even better, her food anxiety, it looks like we finally got to the point where - she eats when she is hungry! During these months, we were experimenting with foods, feeding times, quantities and several different...

It's been a few days since I asked something random... I am really having a hard time figuring out my cat's weight vs. my cat's looks vs. whatever some normal ranges would be for an animal of her kind/size. She's a domestic shorthair cat, 12 months old. When we got her, she was 8 months and...

...every single time we open any door or window. Like, she's getting obsessed with it and it's been getting worse and worse, likely because the snow is finally (mostly) gone and there's life outside once again. There are birds, squirrels, all sorts of smells, neighbours' dogs, cats... even...

We've switched to mostly wet food now. She loves it. There's more pee now and less poop, and I get to sneak water in with her wet meals, too (she's not too picky so she gobbles down some water that I pour into her bowl along with her canned food). However, I bought two trays of 12oz cans of...

Of course I might be panicking for no reason. Or, actually, I am more than likely panicking for no reason. But I am a new cat owner and all I know about cats is what I've learn from our own furry companion in the past four months, as well as on this site. And this site, with all its useful...

How often do we need to take our cat to the vet? A healthy cat, that is. Once a year? Is that something our vet will notify us of? I actually don't know all these things because I moved to the US from Europe only a year and a half ago, and our cat is my first American pet (and my first cat, too...

Has anyone tried Goodlife Recipe canned food? Or, well, it's not canned, it's in those plastic containers. I came across those the other day and bought a couple because they were down to some promotional price and the ingredients didn't make me gag (Kittica loved them, too, but she'll eat...

I'm learning, so please bear with me. So far, we've learned that Kittica needs four meals a day to be content, or to at least let US live through the day. And, even moreso - night. But how do I know how much we should feed her? She's a year old and weighs around 8 pounds 3 ounces. Maybe a...

Our cat's name is Sarma Kittica and her vet thinks she's about to turn one. She decided to walk into our kitchen through an open window just before Thanksgiving.

Our one-year-old cat has been with us for about four months - she walked into our kitchen through an open window one snowy night right before Thanksgiving. Before that, she lived outside for a (little?) while with two other stray cats and wasn't really friendly or interested in making friends...
