This is sort of a random question, but the other day one of our outdoor stray cats somehow got into my car trunk. I found him in the morning. The car and trunk were locked. Aren't trunks sealed? Are there ways to get in? I know rodents can get in but I thought they usually gnawed through...

I know there isn't really any certain way to respond to this, but just checking if anyone else has been through this and can provide any wisdom. There are three strays that live in our area that we have been feeding. We have been mandated by property management to stop feeding them. How...

Hi everyone, I am so glad there is a forum like this. For several months now I have been feeding and looking out for the 5 stray cats in my rental complex. We know for sure that 2 of the cats were left by former tenants. For years two other people were doing the feeding and then after they...

I have three indoor cats, they are 8 and 9 years old. I live in a smaller space but I have made it work well. I adopted the last one 5 years ago. And 3 did definitely seem like enough. It never occurred to me to adopt more..until lately. For some reason I keep looking at local shelters and...

Hi, do you have any food/ brand recommendations etc for cat with gastritis and easily upset tummy? Thank you!

Hi everyone, I thought someone here might relate to my problem: About 6 years ago now I lost a cat I was very attached too. He was of a buff color, like tan. I was warned not to try to adopt another buff cat because it can be upsetting, some people adopt cats that look like the cat they lost...

Hi, so while I was brushing him... I don't think I was enough and my medium hair cat has mats now and it's snow balling out of control. Does anyone have some suggestions for reversing it? Yes, I AM brushing a lot now, but I can't seem to undo the mats that are there and they are getting worse...

Hi everyone, So a couple of years ago I adopted the "third cat" since my male cat loves other cats and my girl cat is a loner. To make a long story short at first things were rocky. New cat (male) was testing limits (he was 4 then as was resident cat) and attacking resident male. I paid for...

I have three cats one of my male cats has been acting skittish and odd. He is always a little high strung but this is more pronounced. And then I noticed he is going out to the (enclosed) porch a lot more and looking through the slats like he is looking for *something* outside. This made me...

I adopted the third cat 4 months ago, and the new cat is just relentlessly badgering the resident male. He and my female do ok, they chase each other and he seems to listen if she hisses to stop. But he picks on my very mellow docile boy. They are all about 4 year old-I have done everything...

I have a male neutered cat and a female spayed both 3  years old.  They grew up together so have a harmony, but the female is basically a loner and never liked him that much.  My boy is very social and loves other cats, and she won't play with him.  I am considering adopting another cat but...

My 3 year old male likes to play when I get home from work, which is great.  We spend a lot of time playing with the wand, and even playing fetch.  But then if I need to stop, to just have my dinner, he goes straight to this one whicker chair and starts to claw it.  I clap to stop but he won't...

I had a very weird experience with Frontline recently.  I applied it to my cats and within 3 weeks we had a total flea infestation.  I bought it at a pet store and it wasn't expired.  I am not giving up on Frontline completely because it could have been a fluke.  But I am back to Advantage 2 at...

I have three cats.  I adopted two first, a female one year old and a male kitten about 8 weeks. Since they grew up together they had a harmony.  Not best friends, my girl is high strung.  But they get along and play together here and there.  About a year later I adopted another male, who was...

I just had to share:  My cat was showing signs of a Urinary Tract infection, he was using the box a lot and small amounts of urine coming out.  He didn't seem in distress otherwise, still eating regularly and not showing signs of pain.  I had heard good things about using Apple Cider Vinegar for...

I have two male cats and one female.  The two male chase each other and sometimes chase my female.  She doesn't really like it but I never sensed it was beyond annoyance.  They generally back off once she growls etc.  Well the other day I found several little poops under the chair she likes to...

So I have a enclosed porch, up one floor.  It has netting and up until now been a safe haven for my two cats.  They never tried to jump off and it's been a God send they could use, they love being in the sun etc.  Well I recently adopted another cat, behavior wise it's been fine.  But last...

Hi If one has to leave a quite young new kitten over night, just a 24 hour period, what do you suggest? I was thinking the bathroom, and make sure he can't jump into the tub.  Or to be safe put some food and water in the tub too!

I have two lovely one year old females I adopted separately but only a month or so apart.  The first one is a tad high strung so I thought it was wise to adopt another high energy cat as a companion as a shyer cat may get overwhelmed.  So I adopted my second cat who is extremely playful.  So for...

Hi I have two female one year olds-just adopted them recently.  They are doing great and get along, thank goodness.  But the more recently adopted one is a biter and uses her claws too much with me.  How does one re-direct this?  It's only when she is wound up, if she is sleepy she is...
