Hi all, I’m sitting a sweet cat in a studio apartment. I’m a very light sleeper and every night at some point the cat scratches on his igloo cat bed, meows loudly and runs around. Not a ton but enough that I wake up a lot. Can I move the cat bed? Or cover the wood outer part so that cat can’t...

Hi everyone, I moved with my beloved Otto (10) to the city, after living in the mountains for his whole life. We were down here for less than two months when a neighbor cat (a very mean cat) jumped into the yard, bit Otto and caused a wound that abscessed...got it treated, but Otto didn't seem...

Hi all, Well, I moved my cat from the mountains to the big city, found a place with a yard, and--he is totally unimpressed. He lives to hunt voles and explore outside (though he'd always come home to eat and sleep a lot), and the yard just holds no interest for him. I am worried about him. He...

Hi all, I'll be moving my cat to a new home, soon. It will have a yard and outdoor access (he is used to going in and out). I want it to be as stress-free as possible. He HATES being in the cat carrier. Meows like he's dying, whole time. It'll be an hour car trip (not so bad). But...Should I...

Hi everyone, I have a cat I got as a rescue, from a shelter, years ago. He's 10. He's wonderful, and we live in an area where he goes outside about half the day, and loves to hunt voles and roam around. He returns to nap, eat, and sleep with me. But going outside is definitely his 'thing'. I...

Hi all, These appeared a week or so ago...They seem to be slightly raised dark/black spots on the furry bridge of his nose, not on the smooth, skin part of nose. His nose also seems wetter (at nostrils) than usual. Brought him to vet and vet gave me some antibiotic stuff to put on nose. Wasn't...

Hi all, I have a 7-year old DSH who has asthma. It's well-controlled by Prednisone, every few days. I almost never notice discomfort or coughing. Lately, for past couple of months, he's been puking every couple or every few days. He is on a renal diet due to some kidney issues which actually...

Hi all, I've been away for a while (friends watching kitty), and kitty has been outside a lot. When I returned last night, I noticed a wound near base of his tail (on top), missing fur, smelling a little fecal, with a hole in center which seeemed to have a little pus. He may seem a little more...

Hi everyone, Seems my cat got into a scuffle with another creature outdoors, yesterday or day before...Brought him to vet today to check cuts/listlessness, and she found he has a fever due to abscessed wounds. Gave him 14-day antibiotic. That was this afternoon. Tonight, he is still just...

My three-year-old cat was just diagnosed (most probably) with asthma, and we're about to start prednisone.  When thinking of newish allergens he may have been exposed to, I just realized that my new boyfriend, who now lives with me, smokes a lot of pot. Could this be a cause of Otto's asthma?? 

My cat, a two-year-old DSH neutered male, had symptoms for two days of distressing hacking, trouble breathing, etc. Sent video to vet, and he said it looks exactly like asthma/bronchitis. Otto (cat) is scheduled for chest x-rays/blood count today, to rule out infection, but for the past day and...

Hi everyone, I recently moved into a new apartment, which has an upstairs area and a downstairs area. My cat immediately hid downstairs, where my bedroom is, but is now feeling much more at ease, and is hanging out upstairs, etc. I had a door installed yesterday at the bottom of the stairs...

Hi everyone, my cat just ate a very big rubber band, unfortunately. I feel so stupid for leaving it out. It's now 11:30 pm. Do i wait and see how he is tonight, and take him to emergency vet if needed? Or take to vet now? How long does it typically take them to show symptoms of distress? thanks...
