    Cat redirecting aggression onto me

    My cat is indoor, although I'm under increasing pressure to make her indoor/outdoor that's another issue...maybe. My room backs onto the garden and there's lots of cats in my neighbourhood. Now it's getting warm, there are an increasing number of cats fights at night. My cat doesn't go out, and...

    Reassurance please, vomiting cat

    I've just made an appointment for my cat to go to the vet this evening after work, whic is less than twelve hours away! But I'm going to be thinking about her the whole day at work. We went on holiday last week and my cat stayed in a cattery. She's stayed in catteries before and been fine, but...

    Foreign body obstruction - order of symptoms?

    My naughty cat eats EVERYTHING! And I'm getting really paranoid that she's going to eat something that hurts her and I won't know until it's too late! In the past month I've found a tassel from a fabric wall hanging, and about 10cm of cord from a hoodie in her litter tray. Thank god she passed...

    Problems introducing adult cats

    I have a cat, Lucia, she's one year old and still very playful and energetic. She'd never really known other cats until recently. My parents have two cats, Billy and Max. They're brothers and thirteen. We've had them since they were kittens. They're lazy and very set in their ways. I moved...

    Cat just ate dental floss...

    I think my cat just ate some tooth floss...I got home and the bathroom bin was turned over...I was only gone a couple of hours so she didn't eat it that long ago. She's acting fine, it's the kind of floss that expands when you use it and comes apart...anyway...is there any way to make her throw...

    Cat likes chewing zips, cables, flip flops...

    My one year old cat really likes chewing things. I'm sure it's a texture thing. She likes chewing flip flops, which I thought was harmless until I found she'd thrown up one day and it contained bits of pink foam, so now I hide them. But she's started chewing on cables. This is a recent thing...

    Calico or...?

    I know there are a few threads like this, asking about calicos, but I've never seen a thread with a cat that looks similar to mine (yeah I'm being that annoying parent who insists their child is completely unique). Anyway...is my cat calico, or tortoiseshell and white? Is there really a...

    Why does my cat do this? (video)

    My cat always does this...and it's kind of weird. Not worrying, just strange. I know it's instinct to do this around her food, to "bury" it or whatever, but in the bathroom sink?! None of my other cats have ever done that but they were all too lazy. Any insight? Just curious.

    Taking your cat abroad

    Has anyone ever taken their cat (or any other animal) abroad? How did you do it? I'm looking to move with my cat to England from Mexico this summer and figuring it all out is such a headache. There's so much information and there doesn't seem to be one central body that regulates it, it's all...

    Training a cat to scheduled meal times

    I only have one cat, she's almost 11 months old. Her whole life up to now she's been free feeding. I give her wet food twice a day, and leave dry food out all day. She's never been a big eater - she eats her full, and leaves what she doesn't want. She's not one of those cats who will eat...

    Strange brown crusty stuff on outside of ear

    I just noticed this morning my cat had some strange brown crusty stuff on the outside of her left ear, on the edge, and also that the edge of her ear looked like it had been clipped as if in a fight, but she doesn't go outside and she doesn't know other cats. I wiped off the gunk and it looked...

    It's hard to be a cat at Christmas

    This video stars lots of famous internet cats, the song is kind of cute, it's basically just an advert for a cat food brand, but for every few (up to 500,000 views) a can of wet food will be donated to shelters across the US because not all cats are as lucky as ours...

    Your cats when they were kittens

    I've just been looking through old photos of Lucia when I had just got her, when she was abandoned at a month old (her "birthday" as agreed with the vet because I don't really know is April 5th this year, I got her May 3rd) and so tiny. And even though a tiny kitten is pretty stressful, I kind...

    Clingy kitten

    I just went on holiday for a week and my plan was to leave Lucia with my friend L and his wife A. I left her with them for two weeks in the summer and she was very happy there, and they loved having her. They have two cats of their own and at first there was some tension, but within a few days...

    How to help 7 month kitten gain weight

    I joined today so I'm kind of asking all the things I'm wondering about in one go :D Hope that's okay. Anyway, I feed my seven month old kitten about ~150g of wet food a day (either two small Fancy Feast cans or one small Felix can - I think it's roughly 150 or 160g, I'm at work so I can't...

    Supermarket keeps changing brands

    Hi guys, I just joined this forum today - I've found it helpful in the past for general questions, and I realized I should probably join to ask my own questions. I have a little cat, Lucia, who is seven months old and was spayed this weekend. I'm hoping she'll start to gain weight because...
