I have checked literally as she is going (the joy of being a cat mum 🙄) and the #2 literally comes out dry, as if its been sitting out in the air for a couple days.

She is generally a grumpy cat and I'm starting to wonder if she's just been constipated this whole time? She's a 12 y/o spayed manx for reference. I have been feeding her Tiki wet food of late

Is there even research on this topic?

I'm asking this 'cause it got me curious what really is best for your cats. Mine is 9yrs old, and I wondered if I should get her a compnion or is there a higher risk of illness/medical issues (like if they fight, disease, etcetc).

Depending on how they get along, they would definately be less lonely. But it does beg the question: what does it do for them in the long term--if there even is a long term?

Hey, it's me again, Sworishina. You may remember me from this post, and I'm talking about the same cat again, Ms. Kitty. Sorry for posting a lot compared to everyone else.

Info before the story: my cat, Ms. Kitty, is a ten year old female. She just came out of heat and may have gotten pregnant. Though she's a bit more aggressive towards our three dogs when she's in heat, she's been getting better again since she's not in heat anymore. She doesn't cause any real damage or make them bleed, just slap them in the face, so don't worry about the dogs; they're fine. She also doesn't usually hunt them down; she slaps them when they walk past her or get too close. It's not super often since she spends most of her time in my room, except with my dog, whom she's in closer proximity with, and whom I think she might be jealous of or thinks is trying to kill me.

Story: Earlier today, I noticed my cat's fur was raised and her tail was bushed up. I didn't know why. She slapped my dog in the face, and I was annoyed. I comforted my dog, and all was well. However, she kept running up and slapping my dog at random times that were pretty spaced out, and she'd only slap her once. My dog always grins and bears it, ignoring the cat, and keeping on going, but the last time, she yelped. I'm accustomed to hearing the other dogs yelp if Ms. Kitty gets them (heck, Pearl yelps if you pick her up, or wipe mud off her paws, or do anything), but not Ginger.

I tried putting Ms. Kitty outside, but she didn't want to go out, and I wasn't going to make her since there are other cats and I didn't want her getting in a fight. I let her back inside and she ran up to my dog, who was on the couch, and slapped her. Then, as she was going around the couch to run off, she encountered Pearl, and slapped her, too. I shuffled her off to my room where I now have her shut up with me. Her fur's no longer bushy at this point, but it still was when I brought her in. I can touch her just fine, it's just the dogs for whatever reason. She growled a bit too during the whole ordeal.

Does anyone know why?

Edit: I should probably add that she's never acted this way before, all scared of nothing.

I am looking for a main coon kitten, female, tortoise. Any idea how to search for a good cattery that would have that specific kitten? Google search turns up lots of catteries that have websites from 90’s and are virtually unsearchable. Of course if push comes to shove I am ready to reach out to them all by phone, but maybe I am missing some better way to find the kitten of my dreams.

I live in NYC but will drive VERY long distances (+1,000 miles) to pick up my girl, so my search radius covers a lot of ground. Which makes it even harder to manually contact so many catteries…

Appreciate any advice, help, suggestions.

I'm curious to see what people's experiences with their cat's liver problems. Many of the papers I was given sound as if recovery is possible, if not probable with proper treatment. My cat is only 10, I've never had another cat with these kinds of problems. What advice can you give me?

Hey Fanciers,

Is anyone able to help me identify the prominent breed in Dora Shitehawk Magoo? Bombay perhaps?

Personality wise, she's very timid and cautious of noises old and new, as well as new people. She's not keen on other animals at all (and does not adjust to them even over time). She prefers Men folk to Women folk. She's not very comfortable being handled unless it's by someone she knows really well (myelf, mostly).

She's not particularly vocal unless it comes to being fed.

Her tail seems somewhat stunted, and doesn't seem well proportioned to her body (could just be her though and not an indicator of breed).

Mr L.

I recently got 2 kittens from the SPCA. They are both 3.5 months old. I believe they're brother and sister (both were surrendered for same reasons on the same date and transferred together. They were already familiar and attached to each other when I got them)

Any ways I myself, and others, can hear a ringing noise coming from his ears. It's very quiet, like feedback/high frequency consistent ringing. As far as I can tell it's constant, and always the same pitch. All I could find online is it may possibly be Objective Tinnitus, however it's not pulsating or clicking as the description says it should. Also it's extremely rare, and I can't find much on it being in animals.

Not sure what else it could be. We went to the vet and he had no idea, Datas health is perfectly fine. He doesn't seem bothered what so ever by the ringing and his hearing is fine. No itching or twitching as if disturbed by it. I'm taking him in next week for a second opinion from another vet, but I was curious if anyone had heard of such a thing in cats? Or had a better idea of what this could be?

I'm concerned if it persists when he is older and lived with it longer he will become stressed from dealing with it. Right now I'm sure he's more distracted by being a kitten and playing.

Oh, and he's all up to date with all shots etc. Breed is just american short haired tabby. Neutered. 5.5 pounds.
