Re: Please help! Does my cat have a skin condition or just stress? Is losing fur : (

In my opinion, if you don't know what to do, you'd better spent some hundreds in a cat dermathologist.
If its getting worse you need to stop it as soon as possible.
If you think logically its the right thing to do to make sure of what is really causing that.
Best luck with your angel.

Re: Introducing new kittens

Thanx...
You'll see, in no time they will become best friends... they all do, more or less. Keep in mind that cats have different personalities, just like people, and it will take time for them to know each other.
Best luck to you and your cats, hope they get along as soon as possible.

Re: Introducing new kittens

I think in a few days everything is going to be ok. It's normal for that to happen. It did happen with both our cats. 3 days later the hissing kind of stopped. The resident cat hissed a lot to newcomer but never attacked. I believe that is what to look for. If he hissed but ran away, just didn't wan...

Try to google for cat psoriasis in images and see if any is corresponding to your cat. ;)

Re: I need some help with a few things...

Do you play with your cat with wand toys or strings or something to interact with? I'm not saying throwing toys and let him play. Altough they are playful animals they get bored sometimes. Perhaps he wants something new to play. Have you tried hair ties? They are so so good toys for them. My advice ...

Re: Pulling stairs instead of cat scratcher

I have to admit that very few of the scratching posts I have seen are suitable for an adult cat unless they are part of a big cat tree, the cat just pulls them over. The best I have found are the cardboard box sratchers, or a board that is screwed firmly into the wall. Unfortunately while mine do u...

You should have at least one indoor litterbox. At least give it a try.

He was used to do in ''his'' litterbox with his litter... and so, o...

Re: Pulling stairs instead of cat scratcher

Are the scrathing poles near the spot where he does that. Sometimes we have to re educate them. There are also some cardboard scratchers wich fit much betters in those spots to cover them. On other hand you should try something they don't like at all. The smell of vinegar or citrus. Try to spray tha...

Re: Stopping re-directed agression

How old is your cat? I believe your cat is frustraded by seeing preys and wants to play or attack. How often do you play with your cat? Really play, i mean? Make him chase something with feathers for instance. Cats have lot of energy and wide awake at night, that's when they hunt, they are predators...

Try to buy urine off, it helped for me and my cat. Also try to put a litter box near that place. Cats are territorial animals and could possibly be the case.

Re: Cat behaviour

Went to the vet to change bandage and doctors said he was doing fine. They were impressed with Blue as they didn't have to sedate him to do their work. He is such a lovely cat. 1 week away :D , 4 more to go :( He purred a bit today and went to sleep making my arm his pillow. I just love this cat.

Re: Sudden Agression

You should take her to the vet. Maybe she is in pain or something is wrong with her. Use a blanket to cover her face and help you to put her in carrier. Usually that looks like a defense mechanism they have when something is wrong. Have you noticed anything strange nearby? Or in her routine. Differe...

Re: Cat standing by wall,box,etc. staring like in a daze (Also on chemo and steroids)

Hmmm. :( Have you discussed with different doctor?
If you start noticing this behaviour after increasing meds, it's logical to think that its because the meds. Have you tried to pet the cat while that daze happens... or tried anything else to draw attention? Maybe with toys or snacks?

I'm so sorry to hear what happened to your boy, but your vet is right in that it's better for him to be quiet whilst he heals so, hard as it is to see him like this, it does mean he should heal well.

Re: pupils

Staring ar cats eyes is considered by them hostile movement. I look into my cats eyes for 3 to 4 seconds and they look other way. Normally they dilate pupils when they will engage or they are apprehensive.
