Cat Chat Feline Forum

Read my "found a month old kitten, now what (the kitten was 3 weeks or less than 3 weeks old actually)" topic it will help shed some light maybe Some kittens are so insanely hyper, but that's ok, those cats usually grow up to be very smart and loving cats. I know it can be overwhelming but...

Now I know that Mila has been holding it in on purpose which is a lot more worrisome. After adding the new litter tray today, she peed a total of 3 times, once in one of the old trays and twice in the new one. And pooped once in the new one. Problem is, Spaska almost got to her as SOON as she approa...

Thanks for the extensive and beautiful reply as always :) Mila just mated with the vet's tom, is all. I wouldn't say they're invested in her per se, they love animals so much they invest themselves in all cats and dogs people bring them. But they do consider Mila and her kittens family of course :) ...

This is where the litterbox for Mila ended up. The original idea was to put the litterbox where the plastic tub/container with the purple lid is, but the floor is uneven there due to some tiles and it wobbles way too much IMG_3697LR.jpg The most difficult thing when talking to people online is expla...

I just put a new litterbox in my computer room, there's barely room to move in there let alone for a litterbox and guess what happened. Mila immediately went and pooped in it, so could she really have been holding it in? Once the kitten spooks her in there too tho it's going to be game over again ED...

Mila has been getting alone time for well over 3 hours a night but she just sleeps through it or eats and doesn't even bother going, I explained this to my vet but he insists that even if she doesn't seem stressed around the kitten she is holding it in. I've been getting to Spaska before she could b...

Guys, I am not doing well at all I consulted with my vet hoping he'd give me some positive feedback on the situation with Mila The vet specifically said Spaska needs to be re-homed, if only temporarily because he believes Mila holds her pee and poop in because of what Spaska did to her around the li...

Yeah, her routine quickly went back to normal even during the last days of the infection and there were no issues until some 12 days ago? 14 maybe now I lost count. It all started when that one day Spaska made Mila leave the litterbox 3 times in a row, after that Mila started holding it in. A few da...

Thanks like take Mila for example right now, she is sleeping on the coffee table in the living room, half asleep, half awake Spaska walked all over her like 4 times, Mila didn't bet an eye, Spaska just literally walked over her back and forth several times. If Mila hated Spaska or was afraid of her ...

Spaska is now officially two months old. The vet estimated she was born on/around June the 1st because when we found her on the 20th she was 3 weeks old or just shy of 3 weeks. There's Spaska last night grooming Casper after napping beside him for a bit, then she started playing with his face and he...

Keep them cool and keep the car cool if you don't have an air conditioner in the car I would strongly advise against doing this. If you have a panting cat that's no good. I'm sure people who have experience with this will post here, this is an incredibly helpful forum :) but my advise is to keep you...

Thanks for understanding! I'm so grateful there are people who understand me :) Good thing there are no conflicts between her and the other cats, Mila does get annoyed with her but who wouldn't if someone was jumping on your face all the time, Casper takes it in stride tho and only gets away....sloo...

Nah I don't find my condition frustrating in the least, it's always been like that so for me it's normal. I can still draw, play video games, have a perfectly normal life, pretty much everything I need including my vet is within walking distance for me, the vet is 10-15 mins away and normally I just...

I've been on top of my game and making sure Spaska doesn't bother Mila in the litterbox even if it's costing me sleep, so Mila uses the litterbox without hesitation for now. However, Spaska's habit just doesn't seem like it will ever be broken at this point which is very worrysome. I do my best to k...

I can understand what being unable to get somewhere due to being unable to drive is like because I'm legally blind myself, always wanted to be a trucker but had to accept that wasn't going to happen :) Due to me being unable to see well I usually use taxi services to get around, they're fairly cheap...

I believe him not being neutered is the main reason behind his unhappiness and all that is going on. I understand if you don't have enough room for more litterboxes, but I think one more should be possible, your husband shouldn't be so sensitive to nonsense like whether or not the box is hooded or n...

How do you make the decision to rehome Spaska after this? Kala doesn't even do this with her brother Casper anymore

Come on Mila, just stop freaking out over nothing already Everyone gets along so well with Spaska

I could try but she is still going to hear it knowing her It's not just the noise but as soon as she sees/hears a cat going to the litterbox she is there. I'm going to try different things but why she started doing this now after being here for a month is beyond me. She is also playing with Casper A...

I tried distracting her, it doesn't work Her favorite toy is Casper's tail :) but she has many other toys she plays with IMG_3619.JPG IMG_3620.JPG They generally get along as long as she doesn't go overboard and starts attacking his neck or gets attached to his hind legs and starts biting him, but a...

BTW I forgot to post these last night, Spaska is stunning :) Almost looks like a Russian Blue mix. I know she is not but she almost looks like one, When we're not dealing with the litterbox stalking thing, all 4 are as happy as clams together and all is wondeful IMG_3601LR.jpg IMG_3608LR.jpg IMG_361...

Well Mila is still very much reluctant to going by herself This morning Spska bolted towards Casper as he was going to the bathroom, thankfully he didn't seem to mind but it wasn't something I could stop. I called her and she did come running, I offered food, but as soon as Casper started burying in...

I might give it a try tho I think knowing my cats it would freak them out more, Spaska would just block the exit and they'd have nowhere to escape from other than that one opening where as like this they can jump ot of wherever. Casper is good tho, he isn't affected by this in the least, Kala to a l...

Good thing is that nobody is afraid of spaska per se, when I was preparing wet food just now, separating it for everyone and all that they were lined up. Mila in the midle, on one side of her Spaska on the other Kala with Casper nearby When the food was served this is how they lined up IMG_3587.JPG ...

Thanks!!! Yeah I'm specifically a children's book illustrator. I am a huge RPG fan but I only enjoy the video game versions, especially Japanese RPGs such as Dragon Quest (speaking of which, the Olympic games this year opened with music from Dragon Quest and featured many tracks of my favorite Japan...

This is such an amazing posts you guys make, thank you soooo much :D I just worry that if Mila pees outside even once or twice, she'd permanently start having litterbox issues. When I was little I had a cat who had permanent litterbox problems and we've been pretty emotionally scarred/scared ever si...

After my mom also acknowledged the problem and since Mila hasn't gone to poop in well over 24 hours, we decided that Spaska needs to be rehomed. It's probably the toughest decision we've made with a pet, I have no words to described how much it hurts but Mila and to an extend Kala are very poorly af...

I am sorry if I post about this so much, but I'm definitely not imagining the situation and I can't stand the thought of having to give up Spaska, she is so smart, so beautiful. So right now it's 2:22AM I've been carefully watching Mila all day, yes I have the time I work from home and now I'm not d...

The best I can do is keep Spaska confied to my computer room, we don't close doors in the house, excpet the bathroom lol and even if we tried keeping any of the doors closed Mila freaks out and tries to open it. Spaska never uses the litterboxes at night, like hasn't done it once, she usually sleeps...

I'm not panicking just thinking out loud and I want to hear what people think. I noticed that Mila hadn't gone to the bathroom since around 6PM yesterday, she normally goes in the morning or at around 3AM at night. Then again during the afternoon, she pees about 3 times a day. The other cats are fin...

This is awful, I'm so sorry to hear about this. Was it too hot? Could it have been a heat stroke maybe? One of my cats got a heat stroke a few weeks ago and one of the signs among other things was a blue tongue, she almost died but the vet saved her, on the same day or the next day tho a dog in our ...
