Can a cat who potentially has feline HIV live with other cats? My moms cat, whom we've had for a few years and rescued from the streets has a condition called "Pillow foot" and the vet said it's a sign of HIV. But, since the two cats (mine and hers) live together no issue, I figured it was fine...

My moms cat (the one she's STILL threatening to get declawed for kneading) is missing most his back claws. He's got all his beans but not the claws. The vet says it's possible they were torn out in a fight since he was a street cat or, it just wasn't born with them. But given he has foot issues...

I don't know where this belongs but life-span is tied to health, right? But seriously. I KNOW I mentioned a semi-feral senior who was PTS almost 2 years ago at age of 16 (I think. He was old as dirt.) But that's not a common thing here. So how long are they supposed to live? My annoying but...

No complaints this time. Honestly I love being her human and favorite. Today my brothers GF went home and when her mom picked her up, she of course had brought the GFs younger siblings with her. They love and rescue many animals; especially cats. They had my moms cat on cloud 9 with attention...

I was torn between 'cat health' and 'cat behavior' so if this isn't right, forgive me. Ok so my mom HATES when her cat kneads her. With a fiery passion. We're talking screaming obscenities at him for doing it, refusing to give him any attention, ect. (For some unknown reason, said cat is...

The cat has three food/water dishes in the house, a litter box, several beds/sleep spots, gets all the love and attention she ever needs, lots of toys/stimulating things PLUS she can go outside whenever she likes for as long as she likes. She also spends most her time in my bed, tucked in and...

Hi all! As you know, my family has been taking care of a stray cat for a bit. We got him fixed about a week ago now and he's still spraying like nothings changed. I know that since he reached maturity already, he will likely still spray some. (Though my other cats were fixed as soon as they were...

OK so we have no proof other than speculation, gut feelings and them hinting at it. But, over the last 17 years of living here, if our animals had collars nicer than dollar-store quality, they'd go missing, come back mildly injured without the collar. Suspected A-holes would then be selling said...

Hey everyone! Recently my girlfriend took her cats to the vet and it cost much more than expected. (Cancer tests and future care to come.) This is the link to the GoFundMe so if you could donate it'd be really appreciated! Click here to support Help Keep Our Kitty Babies Healthy organized by...

So because apparently people wanna see my babies, here they are! Puss AKA 'FatCat'. He will be missed. (The guinea pig in the cage was named Teddy. I'll post her pic later.) Mocha This is Tubby, the stray we're getting fixed. Syrinx (back) and Artemis. (Literally the best you'll get...

Hello, everyone as I am sure you recall I posted just before Christmas about my senior semi feral cat and how he was supposed to be PTS but somehow hung on. Well as of 3PM today, he has passed on. He got worse and nothing could be done for him so, he was put down. He went quickly as my mom held...

Hey everyone! I know I don't talk much on here but right now, I could use some kind words. As some of you may know from my previous posts on here, I have two cats. (Technically three for the moment.) One is now 15 and is semi feral. He, like all my animals, was a rescue from a hoarding/breeding...

Hey all! My almost 15 year old cat suddenly started having accidents around the house and they're getting more frequent. He'll go days, even a week or more without them and then BOOM! Poop in the kitchen. He's still acting like himself, eating and drinking. We're almost at our wits end with it...

Ok as some of you may know, I have two cats. One of which is a now elderly feral that I raised from a kitten. An acquaintance of mine is telling me that the age I got him at, approximately 6/7 weeks, is too early to make a cat go feral even with little to no human contact. (They claim they know...

Okay. For those of you who know my other posts, you know I have two cats. One of which is thought to be part feral. Well, he's the one I am asking about. Despite it being easier for him to let my family know he needs food or to go out, he wakes me up all hours of the day and night to do that...

Alright. I have two cats. One's over 10 and the other maybe 3. As of the last few years, the older one has been losing teeth. Since both are outdoor cats, I just assume it's because of cat fights. However, a couple nights ago, he was pawing at his mouth; a common sign he's losing another tooth...

Okay, I know that we really can't control HOW somebody raises their cats. (I believe they belong outside as they are naturally hunters and everything. Plus, though I have two kitties, I CANNOT stand them under my feet. Don't worry, they are both fixed and up to date with shots!) ​Anyway, all...
