Submitted 57 days ago At a year of age, a cat’s level of play naturally ramps downward. While the older boy’s lack of interest may influence this some, probably the girl kitty simply has matured into her more adult personality. I don’t think this has anything to do with her being unhappy or the two cats not liking each other. Cats with different personalities can and do enjoy spending time with each other, whethe   Topic: Cat Advice   1 Meows Meow I have a four-year-old male cat named Oliver. About a year and a half ago a visiting... Submitted 57 days ago Oh, poor Oliver! That’s a prime example of how a single traumatic event can be remembered for months or years by a cat. Oliver likely doesn’t even remember the dustpan, only that he associates your friend with “something scary.” So you need to try and change that association.Does Oliver have a favorite toy or treat? When your friend visits, make sure that he has lots of smelly, fantastic c   Topic: Cat Advice   1 Meows Meow I have a 12-year-old black shorthair cat, an eighteen-month-old orange tabby, and seven-... Submitted 57 days ago I applaud your concern about safety for your kitties. There are some options for making the outdoors safe for cats. If you have an existing wooden fence that the cats cannot get under or through, you could look into the www.catfencein.com or www.purrfectfence.com products. These do-it-yourself kits either stand alone, or attach to existing structures like wooden fences, to make them cat-proof and   Topic: Cat Advice   1 Meows Meow If a female has been fixed, will she still have spotting? She is 8 months old. Submitted 57 days ago A female cat that has been spayed will no longer experience a heat cycle and will not show any other signs of estrus such as yowling, rolling or spotting. If a cat has blood on their back end or in their urine, this is not normal and should be called to the attention of your veterinarian. A physical examination and perhaps laboratory testing is needed to determine the cause of the problem.   Topic: Cat Advice   1 Meows Meow All of the cats in our area, including a few of mine, have colds. What can we do for them? Submitted 57 days ago Often upper respiratory infections are viral in nature and easily spread from cat to cat. In some cases antibiotics may be useful to prevent or treat secondary bacterial infections. Keeping cats vaccinated also helps diminish upper respiratory infections. When a cat shows signs of a respiratory infection they should be isolated from other cats to prevent the disease from spreading to other indivi   Topic: Cat Advice   1 Meows Meow I have one cat and I work long hours. I live alone and my cat is alone a lot. He needs... Submitted 57 days ago Some cats actually do like cat videos and will watch them when they are provided. In other situations a cat enjoys a window perch where they can watch outdoor animals. Rotating toys on a daily basis, providing climbing towers, boxes to climb into and feeder toys can all enrich the environment and keep an indoor cat stimulated and happy.   Topic: Cat Advice   1 Meows Meow Calie tested positive for feline leukemia. My veterinarian says she can live a normal... Submitted 57 days ago There are numerous factors that influence lifespan in our companion cats. Even “healthy” cats are vulnerable to many diseases as they age. Disorders of the endocrine system such as hyperthyroidism or diabetes are common in older cats. Kidney decline and kidney failure are also often diagnosed in our elderly companion cats. Almost 90% of cats older than eleven years of age experience arthri   Topic: Cat Advice   1 Meows Meow My kitten purrs really loud....so loud my husband kicks her out because he can't sleep... Submitted 57 days ago Each cat is quite individual when it comes to the quality, intensity and frequency of purring. Some cats purr so softly that you can barely hear them while others sound like a car motor! It might help to teach your kitten to sleep in her own bed nearby on the floor. Not only will it make her a bit more independent, it may allow your husband to get good night’s sleep.   Topic: Cat Advice   1 Meows Meow I have an older cat that has recently gone blind. He's doing pretty good taking care of... Submitted 57 days ago Blindness in older cats can occur for many reasons and some can be treated. In some cases a cat with high blood pressure may vocalize often and be blind, but if the blood pressure is controlled the cat feels better. In other situations the cat is vocalizing because they are senile. A good veterinary evaluation with a physical examination, laboratory testing and perhaps imaging studies should help   Topic: Cat Advice   1 Meows Meow My 12 year old Manx had what we assumed was a seizure two weeks ago. Liver enzymes were... Submitted 57 days ago Seizures can be generalized in which case the animal may lose consciousness, show muscle movements and may eliminate. Partial seizures can occur and these may only affect one or two parts of the body and the animal may seem to be more aware. Elevated liver enzymes and liver disease have been implicated in seizure disorders. If the problem continues, the cat may need further diagnostic testing to   Topic: Cat Advice   Prev 1 2 3 4 5 Next
