One of my cats favourite toys was quite dirty and without thinking I used bleach to clean it. I used quite a bit as the grime was really stuck on. The bleach I used is "lysol bleach multi purpose cleaner". Once the toy is completely rinsed and dry, is it safe to give back to the cats? It is a...

Hello! We rescued a kitten recently, a couple of months ago, and we've noticed we've noticed he never seems to tire out. We have other cats, a one year old, two five year olds, and an eleven year old. He is constantly playing with and bothering them. Even the one year old, very much a kitten...

Hi! We just got a new kitten and we noticed his belly is very very bloated. He is very skinny, except his belly, which is huge. He has had a dewormer but no worms came out. He's very playful and affectionate, doesn't seem to be in any pain. Any idea what the bloating might be? He's also drinking...

Yesterday two of my cats got in a rather nasty fight. I wasn't in the room so I'm not entirely sure what happened, but now they both DESPISE each other. Gizmo is terrified any time either Garris (the offender) or Talia (offenders sister) comes into my room. I have had to lock the cat door so...

Last June we fostered 4 2 month old kittens, and while we initially didn't want any, we ended up keeping two of them. Now they're 17 months old and both of them still have their squeaky kitten meows. Will they ever grow into a more adult meow or am I doomed to hear the baby squeaks their whole...

Is there any reason why my cat suddenly starts digging into my floor and the top of my dresser? They're both made of wood. I looked it up to try and find answers but it was all like trying to cover their food or a toy or water or something. It's not the same for Gizmo. He just out of nowhere...

I made fish with garlic on it for dinner, and I found that one of the cats has played with it, and possibly ate some of it. It was on the counter with pieces of it scattered around. There was a main piece that looked like it may have been chewed up. I used one or two cloves of garlic on the fish...

Im sorry if this isn't the right area for this! Or even the right forum.. but um, I wanted to ask if anyone has a clear answer on if columbines are safe for cats? Some sites say yes, some say no, and its becoming very frustrating getting an answer. I want to grow them, but I dont want any of my...

My cat, Oreo, is about 14 years old iirc. Might be a bit older. Anyways, the past week or so hes been very bold and curious. We have cat doors so they can go in between rooms, but he's never been too interested. Hes wasn't scared of it, he just didn't want to leave my parents room. But recently...

My cat got a bit rambunctious when playing with the kittens, and one of them scratched his eye a bit. This was almost 2 weeks ago. He never showed any discomfort (no squinting/unwillingness to open eye, no discharge, no fear of anything like that) or even awareness that he was hurt, so we didn't...

Gizmo will scream for me to come to him, regardless of where I am in the house, unless I'm in the same room as him. He doesn't leave my room, except for rare occasions at night. I could be just outside of the door, and he screams. When I say screaming I mean the long howling meows they do when...

Lately I've been wanting to get my cat a heated cat bed, but I have some concerns about heated beds/blankets. I was hoping I could find some answers and some people who have had experience with them? Can it catch on fire at all? Can it overheat? Can it burn my cats? Do they actually work? Would...

My cat, Gizmo, has frequent nightmares. Recently I read its really bad for cats, especially at his age (he's 8), for cats to be getting scared. When he has a nightmare he starts twitching, screaming, even hissing and growling. Hes very obviously extremely distressed when they happen. It is not...

Hello! So I bought some cat grass for my cats, and theyre enjoying it very much. One of them has had it before, but the kittens have not. For some reason all of them are ripping out the roots and seeds (which is new for the one who's already had it before) though and trying to eat the whole...

I left some turkey pastrami out by accident and my cat ate it. I didn't realize it has garlic and onion until after he ate it. It was about half a slice, probably .5 ounces or so. Will he be alright? I'm not sure that it was him that ate it. We also have 2 kittens that mightve eaten it. The...

One of my cats is obese, and only gaining weight still. I monitor how much he eats, and its not a lot at all. He only eats 1 can of wet food a day, at the most. Sometimes he doesn't eat that much even. He doesn't play a lot and isn't very active, and i don't really know how to help that. He has...

My cat, Evee, is dying im pretty sure. I think its cancer. I just need some tips on how to get through this. I've had her since I was a little girl, and shes always meant everything to me. How do I not feel guilty about not spending more time with her? And not being nicer to her? I cant be...

We got 2 new kittens, and one of the current kitties isn't really taking them too well. We've had the kittens for almost a month now. Gizmo (the problem cat) is still hissing and very afraid of them. They're getting acquainted with the other cats very well. I know its harder to introduce them as...

One of my cats has recently started getting large hairballs, and quite frequently too. It isn't really something that I can control with regular grooming. He's a short hair cat and doesn't appear to over groom himself. I feel really bad for him every time he tries to throw up a hairball, it...

We have 2 new kittens, they are siblings, a boy and a girl. Right now they are only 10 weeks old, but I am concerned for the future when they reach sexual maturity. I read they can breed as early as 3 months old, and our vet said she won't alter either of them until they're at least 6 months. We...
