    90% good news. The ultrasound showed her liver, pancreas, everything all looked good. The lining of her small bowel was thickened. Which is probably inflammatory. But, if left untreated could develop into lymphoma. The ultrasound tech was definitely leaning towards inflammation. So, she got a...

    Hey guys, my cat Winnie is still having some upset tummy issues. So, in the morning, she’s getting an ultrasound done to see why her liver enzymes are elevated. And a shot of antibiotics and anti-nausea medication. If you could please send love, positivity, and prayers her way. And some my way...

    Thank you for responding. ❤️ I love my kitties so hard, and it definitely shows when my anxiety flares. I wish I had a better handle on it… I do try! But in times like this, I tend to spiral. I’m hoping it’s easily treatable. She has good days, which make me think she’s fine, and then she’ll...

    I have an anxiety/panic disorder, and I’m having a really tough time. My just turned 11 year old girl, was diagnosed with elevated liver enzymes about three weeks ago. I’ve kept her eating by switching her to wet food. But she still gets a tummy upset 1-2 times a week. The vet believes this is...

    Aggression in 2 yo siblings, sudden, please help!

    Thank you for your response. Now for the past several days, I haven't had any major incidents like the beginning. Just some occasional tension that usually peaks in the mornings and then sometimes in the evenings. He might chase her, and then she will give a stern meow, growl, or hiss to let...

    How to encourage normal play behavior between cats?

    It's normal even if she hisses/growls at him?

    Female cat suddenly hates male cat.

    This is very similar to my situation. I have two cats, male and female, two years old, siblings, indoor, fixed. They got along rather well until almost three weeks ago. The female was suddenly very upset with her brother. She couldn't even look at him without hissing or growling. I separated...

    How to encourage normal play behavior between cats?

    I have two cats, male and female, siblings, two years old, indoor. The male gets overly excited/hyper and wants to wrestle/tackle his sister. She is not having it. Whenever he does ambush her, I give him a time out. This seems to calm both of them down. But it is happening quite frequently. I do...

    Female cat suddenly becoming dominant

    Good luck! I've had the diffuser plugged in for about a week now... not sure if it's helping, or just what I've been doing to try to correct my cat's behavior.

    Aggression in 2 yo siblings, sudden, please help!

    After taking necessary steps... things have improved slowly... there hasn't been a big blow up in a week, there has been some slight tension, which I've dealt with. I also plugged in a Feliway diffuser today. I am still so fearful something will happen again... for those of you who know more...

    Aggression in 2 yo siblings, sudden, please help!

    Day two of supervision. It seems to be helping. Whenever one tries to start something, they get a time out. Suggested from a cat behaviorist. A few minutes in time out seems to calm them for a while. I still keep my girl in my bedroom at night, because they aren't ready to be unsupervised. My...

    Aggression in 2 yo siblings, sudden, please help!

    They both seemed calmer tonight... so I went with my instincts and let her out. They sniffed, then ate side by side for a few minutes. Without him doing anything, not even a change in body language, she growled. So, she got a timeout. Let her calm for about ten minutes and let her out. Got them...

    Cat introductions - how long to leave it before giving up?

    I'm going through a similar situation. My only two cats (siblings, 2 yrs old, male & female, indoor) whom had previously been friends... suddenly the female hisses and growls at the male. It's so stressful... I'm trying to keep my emotions in check but my entire household has been flipped upside...

    Aggression in 2 yo siblings, sudden, please help!

    I just did an exercise tonight suggested by a behaviorist. I held the girl while my dad held the boy across the room for ten minutes. Neither was in the mood to be held, but that is normal. They looked at each other off and on -- and she didn't growl. Going to try it again tomorrow. Hope I'm...
