My 16 yr old tux has hurt her back hip and/or back. It was a week ago. We’ve been to the vets twice and are waiting to book her in for an X-ray. She was given buponorphine but she has a strange reaction to it. She stops sleeping and paces the room. But it did seem to ease her pain. Gabapentin...

My poor baby has had a flare up of her arthritis and is on pain killers. Every single time she’s given them or gaberpentin by the vet they tell us she will be sleepy. But every single time she ends up restless, pacing the room back and forth with large pupils. Does anyone else’s cat do that? How...

I’ve just returned from holiday and got my 15 yr old Sparky back from my in laws. She’s acting very strangely. She’s staring into space in a stupor, laying with her head out from like she’s depressed but isn’t sleeping, her behaviour has changed (she’s biting and hissing which isn’t like her)...

My baby had a blood test on sat and now she can’t stop scratching the spot it was taken on her neck. We spoke to first vet and they said use warm salt water to clean it and put something round her neck or socks on her until the morning when the main vets is open. But she pulled the thing off her...

my poor cat keeps going back to the litter tray trying to poo. She’s been several times tonight and has managed a small bit. She’s also vomited twice. After the first time we took her to the emergency vet and they gave her an anti-emetic about an hour ago. When we came home she ate some food...

My husband and I were just doing one of those paw print pads with my cat that prevent ink getting on their fur. But my stupid husband put it on the paper backwards and now she has ink on her paw. We used water to wipe it off and then a paw wipe that my hubby went to the vet shop to get. In the...

My 12.5 year old moggie had an X-ray yesterday and it showed subluxation of both hips creating an increased osteoarthritis risk, and both her knee caps luxate. She’s never had any trauma since she was with us (since Jan 2015) and Cats Protection never told us of anything before. Anyway, does...

My cat was sick about an hour ago. It was white foam which I believe is bike. She was eating grass before. She then ate her pate, spat a bit up and then ate it again. After which she’s been what looks like dry heaving or hiccuping. I’m not sure which. But she clearly feels sick as she keeps...

My baby is an indoor cat but goes outside on a harness. Since we moved house there is a ginger cat that comes in the garden, comes up to the window and stares at my cat. She goes into full territorial mode, scratching at the glass, hitting it, hissing, screaming, growling. The other cat just...

My Sparky is an indoor cat. She’s just not interested in going outside. We’ve just moved to a new house and she’s settling in well. However, there is a ginger cat that keeps coming into our back garden which Sparky can see through the French doors. Sparky is not a sociable cat (cats protection...

My husband just found the below on my cats neck. It's quite hard to touch and is stuck in her fur. We wondered if it's a scab but she's an indoor cat (so no fighting) and as far as we know she's not been cut. It feels like it could be plastic or something but I don't want to hurt her by forcing...

My cat sparky has been an indoor cat since we got her three and a two and a half years ago. We tried to let her outside but she just didn't like it. A week ago we noticed a nest of pigeons between our flat and the one above in the drain pipes and she can hear them cooing (it wakes me up too!)...

I noticed today that my 10 year old cats fur smells like smoke around her neck. Neither my husband or I smoke and she is an indoor cat. I don't ever have candles in the home either so it can't be from that. Could it mean there is something wrong with her? Maybe something with her skin or...

My 10 year old cat has recently starting sleeping on my pillow at night when I'm on it too! I tend to sleep on just the bottom part of my pillow so she sleeps on the top. At first I thought it was cute but then my mum pointed out that dh and I are trying for a baby and we don't want puss...

Our sparks loves things that either 'fly' or creep along the floor like a snack or insect. So her favourite toy is either da bird or a ball of yarn that we drag along the floor. She is also quite keen on chasing a drinking straw! But she has absolutely no interest in chasing a laser pen spot or...

In 2014 my dh and I decided to start ttc. For personal reasons we had to stop and so we got our gorgeous 9 year old Sparky in January 2015. She is my baby. I love her so much and she knows I'm her mummy. Dh and I are now starting to think about ttc but I'm worried how this will impact puss. How...

I wasn't sure which forum to put this on so have gone with this one  My husband is going to paint and wallpaper our flat next week for the first time since we have a kitty. She is an indoor cat of 9 years and we have had her since January.  I am concerned about her whilst he is doing this. ...

Our 9 year old cat is a rescue cat and refuses to go outside despite cats protection telling us she would want to. Just outside our flat some pigeons have made a nest. She sits on the windowsill talking to them and is getting very frustrated that she can't get them. What should we do? It's...

My cat constantly nibbles at the cat grass plant we have. She is an indoor cat and was often sick once or twice a month. We got the cat grass to help her so she could be sick quicker if she needed to. She constantly nibbles on the grass but isn't being sick. Is that normal?
