Hi friends! I picked up this little foster almost 4 weeks ago, and never officially renamed him expecting him to go back. Surprise, we foster failed. We were calling him Cloud or Floof. We're looking for a fitting name, nothing too common, will take any suggestions. He's a buff medium-long...

Yes, it's the foster newbie with more questions. As soon as I got mama home, she immediately stole her kittens from a soft-sided play yard and put them under the bed. Now they're over 3 weeks and I want to get them contained and used to having their bowls/ blankets/ litterbox in one area for...

I'm taking in a new mom and 4 babies (1 week) in the next few days. I have or will get most of what they need- private room with no tight spaces, quality food for mom, KMR just in case for the babies. Bed, box, blankets, warmers, non-clump litter, and a scale. Mom and babies will be vetted...

I recently took in a rescue kitten (5 weeks at arrival, 6 weeks now). She cries or tries to wiggle away whenever she's held. She's playful, pettable, and insists on sleeping on you whenever you're laying down. I've tried holding her when feeding her so she associates it as positive. I try...

I can't think of anything funny enough for this baby looking resigned to be his brother's pillow.

My cat (M/ 8.5m/ neutered per shelter and vet) has been expressing his love for my electric blanket for at least the past month. Every time he spots it, the hips start going. When someone walks in he runs to the window to finish what he started. The issue is I don't want to remove or keep...

This might not be the right forum- I don't think it's behavioral, just bad aim. My 7 month old kitten has been pooping right outside of his box lately. He climbs in, scratches around and spins like normal, and then somehow hits either the edge of the box or outside. He has no problem with...

I put down my 17 yr old cat yesterday. It was heartbreaking- she was the friendliest lapcat you've ever met. My concern is my 12 yr old, Mischief. I bought them the same day. And while they didn't always get along (Spooky was alpha), they've never been apart in 12 years. But I'm worried about...

Honestly, there's no better way to say it. It's a strong cat smell. Think of say, pet store, or shelter, or crazy cat lady with 2 dozen pets and the inability to open windows. I know she's old and not well. I've had her for 12 years, the shelter thought she was at least 4-5 when I got her. She...

Hello, my name is Christine, and I have 2 cats- Spooky (13-14 yrs?) and Mischief (9 yrs). I got them both almost 9 yrs ago from the shelter. They are truly opposites. Spooky wants nothing but to lay on your lap all day. A guest simply has to make eye contact, and she assumes she has a new best...

My cat (13+ yrs?) likes to play with small fluffy toys during the day. It is typical play- batting, carrying, tossing, etc. But late at night, she carries her toys to the staircase landing, drops them, and YOWLS LOUDLY over them. Occasionally she will carry them a few steps, drop them, and howl...
