I’ve noticed over the past few weeks that sometimes, often upon waking up from a nap, our 6-month-old female kitten holds her left eye partially closed. It doesn’t last very long; both eyes are fully open soon enough. There is also NO visible redness or other abnormalities (pupils are the same)...

My 6-month-old kitten was diagnosed with “mild acne” in the surgeon’s words, as it was discovered at her spay appointment and noted in her post-op paperwork. Our vet had never mentioned it at her previous 4 appointments where she got a general checkup and then received her vaccine series. So it...

I have a kitten around 8-9 weeks old that received his first distemper shot on the afternoon of 1/24. Previously he had been given a clean bill of health (save for mild roundworms) at his very first appointment - he received the shot a few weeks after his initial checkup. This morning I noticed...

I‘m not really sure how well the introduction of two new kittens (8 weeks) to our resident cats (both almost 2 years old) is going. This is the first time we’ve ever had young kittens. The kittens have been placed in our spacious master bathroom with a mini cat tree and blankets + toys galore...

I was debating switching my two-year-old cats to an Orijen brand food. However, it seems they all have the below pre/probiotics: Dried lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product, dried bifidobacterium animalis fermentation product, dried lactobacillus casei fermentation product. This...

I have two cats who spent their first two months of their lives as barn kittens. They both had ear mites and then mild secondary yeast infections caused by the mites. I think they might have had worms too, can’t recall. All treated - those gross bugs are long gone. Thing is, they’re still fairly...

I adopted two rescued barn kittens who were fostered for 3 months before I entered the picture. The foster parents….weren’t entirely honest about how timid the kitties were. I knew this would take time, however… My cats are still timid after ~1.5 years of living here (a pretty uneventful...

We adopted two cats a while back that had ear mites as (barn) kittens. We noticed that they had lingering ear wax (moderate in one, minor in the other) and assumed it was probably leftover debris from the mites. However, the vet looked at a swab and determined it was yeast. She cleaned their...

In late December, one of my two senior cats (brothers) passed away. My remaining cat grieved a lot, and eventually I started thinking he might benefit from more feline companionship. He had never been a solitary cat before. I adopted two 6-month old kittens two weeks ago advertised as loving...

We adopted two male cats from the humane society back in 2007 - brothers. They were close. They enjoyed cuddling up together quite a bit, play wrestling, grooming, etc. Sadly, we unexpectedly had to put one of our gorgeous boys to sleep this month. He was almost 14, so I guess that’s not...

Desperate for some advice on scooting. Don’t know what to do at this point, and our vet isn’t helping much. We moved our cats - 2 adult brothers, indoors only - to a unique protein, grain free, limited ingredient food a while back - Natural Balance brand, duck. Both cats have been frequent...

I’ve noticed from time to time, starting at least maybe 2 months ago, that when one of my cats is looking to the far left or right, he’s got some redness in each eye on the sclera (whites of the eyes). Dark red. Not the whole sclera - just a section. You don’t tend to see the sclera a lot on a...

I posted about this briefly in another post, but I'm hoping I can get something more feedback here. My coworker thought this sounded like a pulled muscle/sprain based on experiences with her own cats, and I'm curious if anyone here agrees. And if so, how long do these take to heal up? I've found...

Last night I was cutting some hair clumps off one of our two cats (around 11 years old), as he's on the bigger side and clumps up pretty often. As I was running my hands over him searching for more, I noticed he has a firm lump on the side of his neck, near the cheek area. Feels like a small to...

Hello! New member here. Unfortunately, I joined to discuss a not-so-happy issue... I've tried to include a lot of details in my post, so this is a long one. My family owns two cats – brothers we adopted from the humane society in 2007 when they were roughly one year old, so they should be...
