    Extreme redirected agression towards me. Help!

    My cat Pixie, a spayed 6 year old I've rescued when she was 4 weeks old, has never done this up until three weeks ago when one day I noticed she was agitated while looking outside. I noticed a cat on my balcony that I hadn't seen in two years, Oreo, so I put my cat in the bathroom so I could...

    How long does it take for Metronidazole to work?

    Feral Minou is on day 4 of 7 of his treatment of Metronidazole. The vet prescribed it without seeing him (after a negative stool test) because he was still having watery smelly stools regardless of the Revolution, fenbendazole, and bland diet i gave him for a couple days. The vet, on instinct...

    Wet coat along the whole spine?

    My feral Minou came out of his shelter this morning with his back all wet all along his spine. At first i thought he has recently gone roaming and rubbed himself on something wet. I reached in the shelter but all was dry.  I let him inside for an hour so his coat would dry off. Twelve hours...

    Do cats need leader? (just got bit)

    This is what just happened.  Minou (a 4yo feral who seems to trust me and that i'm slowly introducing to me home of one semi-feral 1 yo) started out the day as usual, rubbing himself on my outside and laying on my lap when i went out to give him his breakfast. Fast forward a couple hours, he...

    Persistent diarrhea- Test came back negative?

    I have seen this with Pixie a couple months ago where she had very smelly diarrhea and the tests came back negative too. Then again, when she was heavily infested with roundworms as a kitten, test came back negative though there was a big visible worm in. Now it's Minou. Of the 5 times i have...

    I let feral Minou inside. Need cat language translation!

    I don't really speak cat, though i know a bit of the basics. But i am often puzzled by what they say with their bodies and voices. In the outdoors corner we have Minou, a 4 year old feral i have been feeding for about a month and who is too smart to be trapped so i can TNR him. So he is still...

    Disease propagation tips- Feral to home cat

    So i've decided to feed a 3-4 years old feral everyday because i find him too thin this year, compared to the other years where he was very robust. Oddly, his neck and shoulders are still broad, but not his lower body. This feral, let's call him Minou, is my cat's uncle, and most likely her...

    Persistant on\off diarrhea ; stool test came out negative

    So my 1yo cat vomited several times and had watery stools a week ago. She wouldn't eat at all. Called the vet, they said it was the cooked chicken i gave her that did not agree with her, and to put her on I\d cans for 5 days, and probiotics for 2 weeks. Next day she still had the runs, but ate...

    Special kitten. No really...

    Aren't they all special? But mine, who is almost 8 weeks old now, has been and is still going through some tough medical stuff. I found her at around 4 months old around my backyard, but she was so small i took care of her only till her mama came looking for her. She seemed to get lost a lot, or...
