I noticed last night that my cat’s tail was limp and it just generally looked different than usual. Normally his tail goes straight up in the air when I call him or talk to him, or interact with him in general really, but he wasn’t doing it at all last night. He was just holding it down while he...

My calico/torti Phoebe just discovered how to lay on her back and she does it everywhere now.

I always find toys under the couch and under the stove. I found one type of toy that one of my cats absolutely loves, but the place I bought it from stopped selling them. So now I have to routinely check under the stove and couch for the remainder of his toys because he's always stuffing them...

So I had a chance to go up to him today, and he is pretty friendly. The apartment he hangs out by is leaving food out for him and the momma cat, which is good. I got a close look at his leg, and I'm pretty confident that it was broken in the past and healed out of place. There is an obvious...

You could try calling pet stores and vets around your area and ask if they have any suggestions for you. Some mom and pop pet stores might even be willing to take some of the cats themselves. When I was looking to re-home my turtle in short notice I called quite a few places, and most of them...

Thanks for the replies. If I manage to get him to the vet, will they want me to pay for his treatment if he needs it? Or is it something where I can drop him off and they handle his care from there? I was at work all day and didn't see him today, but he comes and goes. The momma and kittens...

There's a cat outside of my apartment that I've seen off and on for about 4 months, and he has an injured front leg. I can't tell if the leg is either injured, broken, or broken in the past and healed strangely. He hangs out around the unit across from me (in fact about 20 minutes ago I saw him...

I'm not sure if I put this in the right section, I figured it might be related to care. Where do you guys get your cat trees/cat furniture? I currently have a hand-me-down cat tree that my 2 cats absolutely love, but it's getting worn and they're tearing the carpet on it to pieces and I'm dying...

Have you ever taken him to the vet and asked them? My step mom had an older cat who would always yowl at night no matter what we did for her, and after a trip to the vet we found out that it was because of something else (I wanna say it was because of a thyroid problem, but I really can't...

I would think that generally the coat might reflect personality, it just depends on how they were brought up. I have a tortiseshell/calico (not sure which one she is) and she has zero attitude, isn't very needy and she's a bit skittish. I have a tabby who is just the sweetest thing in the world...

Both of my cats do the exact same thing, its so weird! When one of them was a kitten I woke up one night to a loud 'splosh' because he managed to fall into the toilet! After that I always keep the toilet lid down, but he still likes getting around the shower when its occupied and when it's not...

I know exactly how you feel, I've also felt that "was this really the best decision" feeling when I got my second kitty and my first one started backing off from me. A few months later though, they're both normal and affectionate with me and each other. It just takes time. It's hard to be...

Both of my cats have to immediately go into the tub after I've showered and do whatever it is they do in there. It's pretty funny because I'll forget they were in there, pick them up, and be surprised because their paws and tails are all wet. When Loki was a kitten we tried filling the tub a...

My mom's cat does the same thing to the people in her apartment complex I think. We believe some people are taking her cat inside their homes because he'll be gone for hours and hours at a time, and everyone in the complex knows him and his name. (Not to mention we had a situation with a...

Since I'm in the middle of trying to find a place to live by the 31st, it's nice to see some positivity in this stressful time! My dad is visiting from Florida, and it just so happened our family friends came up to visit for Christmas (which is incredibly rare, they aren't people who travel, we...

You probably just need to give her time. I have a kitten who was just like that when I got her. She would run if I came just walking casually along, and she still doesn't like being pet all the time if she doesn't come to you first. I've had her for about 6 months now, and every day she is...

I just noticed yesterday that my 8 month old kitten's left eye was slightly smaller in dilation than her right. It isn't an extreme difference, but there's definitely a difference there. This morning I noticed that the less dilated eye is now a little cloudy looking. Again it's not extreme, but...

I think this is a good thing to keep in mind. I never thought about giving the management or landlord a copy of vet records and vaccines, that sounds like a good way to show to them that you're a reliable renter and responsible pet owner. I definitely agree about the small vs big complex. I was...
