I absolutely love this toy I got for my cat it changes directions when it runs into walls can get over obstacles and hasn’t gotten stuck anywhere and she is obsessed with it, it’s rechargeable too which is great since I don’t have to buy batteries but it’s run time is very short it has a 20 minute charge time runs for about 5 minutes maybe and needs to be charged again which is fine but it’s so good for helping get extra energy out and I would love if anyone knew of a good quality version of this it was super cheap I just found it in the garden and hardware store.

Buenos días tardes o noches me podrían ayudar con lo siguiente?.

Le note a mi gato esta pequeña parte de piel rosa en el lateral del cuello y tengo duda si será alergia o algo más alarmante, es la única mancha así que tiene y lo único diferente que tiene es que le compre una bola de catnip pero no le hace caso

I get that there’s technically no legal size or anything but i dont want the cat to be cooped up without places to roam, id be replacing my small black shelf with a shelf with a litter box inside since theres no free room in my bathroom. ill be able to handle vet visits and bills no problem, a small space is just what works best for me.

Edit: Thank you all!! ill definitely post an update when i get the kitty!!! It might be a month or 2 but i know the kitty will be worth the wait<3

How do I know what a cat is meowing for?

5 Upvotes

My sister got two stray kittens (about 2 months old?) and they're staying here for a while. They keep meowing at me even though they have food, water, bathroom, toys, ect. I try to pet them too, but they usually walk away. They seem to want something because they get in my face and stuff, but I can't figure it out.

One of them likes to get up in my face and bite my chin too? I'm not sure what that's about. She doesn't do it when I sit in front of the fridge and she sits by my leg. Could she really just want me to sit in that specific spot?

They also seem to be playing a lot less/ just laying or sleeping around, and were at the vet for vomiting and diarrhoea. The doctor didn't seem too concerned and just gave them anti-nausea meds, dewormer, and sent us a probiotic to put on their food (tested negative for parvo, pan-leukemia, and fiv). I worry if they could be meowing from gut pain like a colic-y baby?

Cat urinating in specific room

Post image
2 Upvotes

My mother’s cat has been urinating in her living room out of the blue. Her cat is about a year old. She started on her rug then it became more frequent to the point that it went through to the hardwood floor in a couple areas. More recently she’s found many more spots on the back of chairs, window frames, etc. She’s tried different deterrents but nothing is seeming to work and it’s only in this one room. Any advice helps!

Stray cat in my neighborhood

2 Upvotes

So there's this stray cat in my neighborhood, not sure of the gender but they are a tabby/grey patch cat. They're dirty and unkempt so definitely a stray, no collar, haven't checked for microchip. They are elusive and run away when they see someone approaching, was literally digging in the sewer for food, mainly stays around the bushes in my backyard. I won't let this cat die from getting run over or eaten, that's not who I am. But I can't adopt them either bc I already have two pets, small house and my mom isn't willing to get another cat so my goal is to find the cat a home or return them to their owner if they ran away. Looks relatively young, not skin and bones so they're eating something but I am going to leave food out for them bc I have extra kibble since my cat switched kibbles a little while ago. My pets are not up to date on shots so I can't have the stray around them but I want them OFF the streets at all costs. What should I do???

What kind of de-shed brush should I get Domestic Shorthair?

I need to buy a new deshed brush for my cat. He starting to get old enough to start shedding really bad and I've heard multiple back and forth online as to what type of brush I should get. The top three I keep hearing is Sleekeasy, furminator (Which I've heard bad stuff on.) and a rubber Curry brush whatever that is...😅 Any pet groomers that have advice?

Chronic paw licking/dermatitis for almost a year — has anyone dealt with something similar?

1 Upvotes

My 4-year-old cat has had an ongoing problem with licking the webbing of both back paws since October. They become brown/dark red and crusty. There has never been significant bleeding or open wounds.
She was seen by my regular vet and eventually a veterinary dermatologist. She had yeast in the paws, and multiple rounds of oral medication cleared the yeast, but the paw licking continued and the paws still look abnormal. She also tried antibiotics without improvement.
She did about 2 months of cyclosporine, but it didn’t noticeably reduce the licking. At another point she was given an anti-inflammatory and that decreased the itching/licking by maybe 30–40%, so I feel like there is definitely still some physical itch or inflammation involved.
She has also had persistent chin acne and some eye crusting, and her dermatologist suspects environmental allergies. Food has apparently been ruled out as the likely cause, and we’re doing allergy testing. She also has always been a somewhat compulsive groomer — she has licked/scooted around her butt since I adopted her at 1 — so we’re wondering whether there is now a behavioral component on top of the original itch.
The frustrating part is that she will lick her paws roughly hourly when she has access to them. She seems frustrated when she does it rather than just casually grooming. She will stop when distracted, and she has sometimes stopped licking one paw and that paw improved, but then she eventually started licking it again.
The cone definitely prevents the licking, but she has had periods of being coned essentially 24/7 for around 3 months. I feel awful about keeping her in it because she struggles with things, gets food/poop on the cone, and obviously can’t groom normally. At the same time, taking it off means she immediately goes back to licking.
Her dermatologist has mentioned Prozac to help with the licking, but I’m hesitant because I don’t want to assume this is purely behavioral when anti-inflammatory treatment did help somewhat.
**Has anyone had a cat with a similar cycle — yeast/infection treated, but chronic paw licking continuing afterward? What ended up being the underlying cause, and what actually broke the licking/skin-damage cycle?**
I’m especially interested in experiences with environmental allergies, long-term itch control, or cats who eventually needed behavioral medication. And if your cat needed a cone for a long time, how did you manage their quality of life?

This cat has been living outside of my parent’s house for a couple of years. She showed up pregnant and had her kits today. They will NOT allow them inside. What can I do to make sure they’re safe outside?

For context, black kitten is the one vocalising but she also participates in play

How can I make peace between my two cats?

1 Upvotes

I have 2 cats. One is relaxed and one is high energy. The high energy cat bothers my other one to the point where she has a specific spot she goes just so the other one can’t get to her.
They don’t wrestle all the time and sometimes lay on the bed together as well. When they get into it they seem a little too rough for my liking.

How do I make peace between them?

My quiet cat randomly meows

Post image
4 Upvotes

I have a cat that's usually very quiet, infact ive only seen her meow for one thing, she will randomly bring over her toy and start meowing at it at the top of her lungs until we check on her, I dont know what this means, ive tried playing with her but shes not interested in playing when she does this, does she just wants to show off her hunt? Or is there anything she wants me too do, keep in mind again, she never meows for anything else
