I just adopted a male cat about two months ago and have suspected FLUTD since day one because of excessive drinking. Previous owners said he just really likes water. I started giving him wet food a week after he settled in and I genuinely thought his excessive drinking was getting better. When...

So abouuuut 1/half month ago I rehomed a little dude who's 6 years old. Fester is a pretty huge persian cat (15lbs is pretty big for the breed I think) and that is without hair! They shaved him right before I got him so I can slowly reintroduce him to combing. Which is great cause he is a strong...

I adopted/rehomed a second cat 9 days ago. Resident cat is Elfie a female, almost 3 years old. And the new cat is Fester a 5 year old guy. Elfie seems angry with me but seems to get along fine with the other cat. The introductions went surprisingly well... I'm still in the middle of the intro's...

I'm in the middle of introducing a 5 years old persian boy to my almost 3 year old persian girl. It's going pretty well! There is some hissing here and there but I think they will be fine as long as I take things slow and move at their pace. They're now at the point where they'll eat while...

HEY!:hellocomputer: After keeping my eyes peeled for quite a while I've found a good match for Elfie and I! I wasn't looking for any specific breed or look but a certain personality that matched hers! SO I'm soon welcoming my second cat: another persian, 5 y/o. His name is Lucas, but I kind of...

I love my kitty and always make sure to provide plenty of (food)toys, leashed walks, interactive time, climbing and hiding spaces, vet visits, yada yada - I try my hardest to make her life as eventful as possible. I would love another cat both for me and for her but I keep going back and forth...

I'm ashamed that I was uneducated about this when I got her and I'm angry because this could have been prevented, but mostly sad. I hate that I won't see Elfie reach her senior years and I'm afraid that she will be in pain. I got Elfie DNA tested because I got her from someone who - I realise...

Elf is extremely picky. Always has been. She loves raw... rabbit. Just rabbit. I've given her raw chicken, turkey, duck, salmon and rabbit but she will only eat rabbit. She LOVES the rabbit. I've only seen her eat like that when it's tuna. Pretty sure she would eat it every day, but this...

So I'm just starting out with raw and my cat seems to really like it. I'm not feeding 100% raw and I'm not sure if I ever will because I really haven't read into it enough, the info about what to feed is overwhelming. I got just a few different animals to try out, all ground and commerically...

Title says it all really, but I'll briefly explain. I've fed Elfie at least one wet meal a day since the day I've had her but it's always been a "for your own good" type of deal and it feels almost like I have to fight her for it. She will eat it when she's hungry but, aside from tuna, she...

I saw this type of litter in a YouTube video. Since most people in Japan (from what she said) live in very small apartments with cats, and therefore need litter that doesn't track and absorbs odor well, they thought of something that is seemingly amazing. No tracking? Dust free? Odor free? Sign...

I'm very lactose intolorant myself and usually get plant milks but, very rarely, I get lactose-free milk. I also get catmilk for Elfie as a treat sometimes. She eats 50/50 dry and wet, so a liquid treat for a little extra moisture is a good thing in my mind. But since I have "human" lactose-free...

I write this on the gloomiest, rainiest day since probably last winter - after turning on some "cat TV" video on my tablet. Do you guys notice any behavioral changes in your cat(s), now that the days are shorter? Sleeping more? Less active? I usually take mine for (leashed) walks outside to...

I only have one cat! But the time will come in the next year when I definitely want to introduce a second cat. Out of curiosity (and nervosity!) I would love to hear what you guys wish someone had told you, or what you wish you knew, before getting a second cat! :blush:

Some positivity to focus on! What are things that your cat(s) do(es) that makes you happy? Can be anything at all. I'll start! She's hilarious at night and during playtime when she acts "silly". :lovecat:

I'm unable to get a second cat at this time. Right now I make certain Elf gets plenty of mental and physical stimulation, being an only cat, but I do wish to eventually get her a buddy! By the time I'll be able to get a second cat, she will be around 4-5 years old, and I'm worried that is too...

I have a nine month old persian female who weighs about 2,5KG (about 5,5 lbs). As far as I know, that's still underweight. Last time at the vet was about 2-3 months ago when she got spayed. She's always been a picky eater, a slow eater, the smallest of the litter, and a lover of dry food. I...

I have an almost 7 month old Persian that got spayed exactly 3 weeks ago. I have pretty severe cat allergies, but love cats, and did a ton of research before adopting a cat -- finding that it would be best to get a cat that needed baths anyway. Now, the past few days my allergies have been...

So my kitten just got spayed this morning. I've had her home for about 3 hours now. She's almost 6 months old, and so far I'm kind of freaking out. ( A teensy bit over protective, maybe.) I have a little bit of a social anxiety problem and I'm the kind of person who, pre-appointment, has a long...

I have an almost 4 month old persian kitten that I've had since she was between 9 and 10 weeks old. Wish I hadn't been so eager to take her home, because I'm getting the feeling that maybe she wasn't properly weaned off her momma's milk. The reason I'm saying this is that, although she does like...
