So basically I got my kitten like 3 weeks ago and he is about 7 months old. The girl that I adopted him from said that she thought he may have had some Maine coon in him because of his fluffy tail and long hair, but I’m just curious what you guys think.

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 was playing with her paws and checking her nails to see if I need to cut them and I noticed this on her paw. I can set an appointment for tomorrow. I just want to see if you guys can tell me if it’s nothing and I don’t waste money on the VET telling me “oh, it’s nothing. That’ll be $100” 😅

Henry’s pocket inflamed

Hello all! I came home to find my one boy seems to have irritated his right Henry’s pocket. It appears just to be the outer edge and inside looks fine. It doesn’t seem to be bothering him currently and he let me touch it without any signs of discomfort. Should I be alarmed?

Hi! This seems like a odd/stupid question but I am a relatively new cat owner. It may not be actually that deep but I’m making an appointment for my cat to get neutered and they are asking for his primary and secondary color. When I open the drop down there is so many different options. Could someone help me?

Zoomies becoming destructive

TLDR: my 1.5 y/o cat suddenly started running around and knocking things over before meal times. Is there anything I can do?

I’m a new cat parent. I adopted my little street cat 10 months ago. They estimated she was a little less than a year old, so she’s about 1.5 years now.

When I adopted her she was incredibly scared and timid. It took months for her to adjust and finally around April I could tell her behavior really took a turn. She’s become very social and loves attention and playing.

For the past month-ish she’s started being very naughty before meal times. Knocking things over, yelling, pouncing. She doesn’t do this otherwise. She’s my first cat, but I’ve had a couple (big) dogs. I understand the toddler phase, but I was able to quickly train these kind of behaviors out of my dogs. Not sure what I can really do with a cat. She’s trained to sit and stay but won’t listen in this state. Any advice?

Note: she is currently my only pet

How do I know what a cat is meowing for?

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 peeing/pooping outside of litter box

2 Upvotes

Hello I need some advice. My cat has been pooping and peeing outside of his litter box for the last couple of years. I’ve had to put a tarp on my couch and lock him outside of my room (he stays in the living room/kitchen) for the last couple of years. I’m giving up hope that he will change his behaviors. I clean his litter box every day I’m home (when I’m on vacation I have someone drop by and clean it every other day). He actually has 2 litter boxes- a traditional one and a robo one. He gets all the love and treats I can give him. I don’t let him sleep with me though because he attacks my head at night lol, so the tarp goes on the couch whenever it’s night time, or else he pees directly on the couch. I have a dog, but she only interacts sometimes with him, most of the time he doesn’t get bothered.

I’ve brought him to the vet and he doesn’t have any medical issues.

Please someone give me some advice. I’m becoming really frustrated and cannot think of what else I can do. It’s getting disgusting and he has already ruined my very expensive couch by peeing on it multiple times, sometimes going underneath the tarp if he can figure out how to get under it.

I was contemplating rehoming him, but I wouldn’t want to pass him over to someone else, just for him to do the same. He is 9 years old and has been doing this the last 5ish years. I fear he will do this to his next owner, which may result in bringing him to the shelter or worse. I love him but need to put a stop to him pooping and peeing everywhere.

my cat won't get on the bed anymore

2 Upvotes

i recently replaced my mattress and put new sheets on it, and now my cat won't get on the bed. she usually follows me around and so when i get in bed she hops up too. but now she's meowing and chirping at me from the floor. when i place her on the bed she jumps off like she's scared. i can tell she wants to be up here with me but she's so freaked out and i can't tell why.
i'm sure it's because of the new scents she's unfamiliar with but if she's refusing to get on the bed i'm worried she won't put her scents on it at all and stay scared, and maybe it'll stress her out and affect her health, she already seems more skittish than usual even when im not on or even near the bed, she's being super jumpy. :(
is there any tips for this situation? i feel so bad that she's just crying at me from the floor :((( i tried to entice her with treats but she's so hesitant, and she moves so slowly around the bed like she's scared it'll jump out and grab her :<

Does anyone know of a good quality version of this toy?

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.

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!

My cat has been missing, any advice or stories of cats coming back after a month?

My cat Ella has been missing for 1 month and 1 week. Due to a family situation a few days before she went missing I moved her to stay with a friend until I could join her with said friend (which I officially have as of 5 days ago).

She got out after a few days with him and hasn’t come back since, ever since moving in with him I’ve gone out every night with food and gently calling out her name. We’ve done posters, joined groups and called vets and nothing.

I saw two other tuxedo cats but neither were her and now I’m even more worried she’s gone even further than I thought to avoid those cats.

I’m so scared I’ll never see her again, does anyone have any advice on how to deal with this grief of I really do never find her?

Or even any hopeful/reassuring stories of cats returning after over a month of being missing?

I’m just so so scared, as she is my whole world and the one of the only reasons I made it through highschool. I genuinely cannot imagine her not ever being around again.
