Long story... So I have an eight year old cat I hand raised from a very young kitten. She has a history of aggressive behavior towards me that started suddenly at 14 months. I was very angry and yelling (not at her) and just making a lot of noise. She suddenly launched herself at me, clawing...

Hello, So my vet just told me that my cat needs a rabies shot every year, and they don't want to see her for a checkup if she hasn't had one. They said it's the law, even though I've been going there for years without a problem. What I want to know is, is it true? I live in NJ USA. How can you...

I noticed today one of my ferals has a small lump/swelling under his eye. It is not huge but is noticeable. The eye itself does not look affected. No redness or discharge that I could see. What could it be? I haven't managed to get him in for neutering yet.

It looks like my indoor only girls have some fleas. They don't like being brushed, and I don't want poisons on or in them, so most flea treatments are out. Even the natural treatments have harmful oils. It's maddening. So has anyone had success with cedar oil? I came across a product called...

Tips for stopping an adult cat from attacking the new 4 month old kitten? I kept her in another room for a week at first. They sniffed each other under the door. I rubbed them with clean socks to exchange their scents. Left the kitten's blanket in the living room so they could get used to her...

Hi, One of my ferals has always been a sickly guy. He sounds stuffy and looks rough. The other day I saw him up close (he never lets me get too close) and there was a string of thick yellowish drool hanging from his mouth. There was also a bit of dried blood around his nose and some film...

Hi, I care for a group of four ferals. Three are now friendly to me and one is not. The unfriendly one is sick. He sounds stuffy (I can hear him when he hides under my car), looks dirty, his nose is snotty and his inner eyelids are a little high. I have been trying to catch him in a trap for a...

I gave my cat a small amount of dry food about three hours ago. Right after she ate it she ran after me for more, and I accidentally stepped on her foot. She yelled and then started coughing. It went on for maybe 5 or 10 seconds. Then she stopped and did it again a minute later.  So I am very...

My 18 year old was diagnosed with pancreatitis and IBS. He was given Metronidazole and was doing well on it. No more vomiting or runny stool. The vet just took him off it because she said it might cause other problems if used long-term. So I am wondering if there are natural supplements I can...

So I'm new to TNR and just bought a havahart trap. I know they are not supposed to eat after midnight, but the clinic doesn't open until 8AM. My question is, if I catch a cat between 10 PM and midnight, am I just supposed to leave it in the trap all night? Will they be okay in there for 8-10...

Hello, (long, please bear with me) I am having aggression issues with my 2 year old spayed calico, Cali, that I hand raised. She's always been a little jumpy and dominant towards my other cats, but never attacked me until last July. I ran past her towards another one of my cats who had knocked...

This is a long post, but please bear with me, as I want to give all the detail I can. I was given two newborn kittens, cords and all (fate of the mother unknown). I had no experience with fostering but wanted to give them a chance, so I took them in. I raised them on kmr for six weeks, with no...
