She’s a rescue that I’ve had for almost 3 months. This is the first time I’ve noticed her doing anything like this. Will add a second video to the comments.

Hello,
I recently got a ~5/6 week old female kitten that was being fostered by my coworker. My adult cat (~2y/o female) has been an only cat for over a year now. I got her off the street/bush outside lol. I’m worried she’s being too aggressive with the kitten. Sometimes it feels like play, like when my adult cat is also lying down and they’re “swatting” at each other. Other times she’s kinda bodying the kitten and I’m just concerned she’s being mean and just is quiet about it. My adult cat hisses when the kitten walks into her face sometimes which is understandable. She’s gotten a lot better with being blatantly angry. She was super growly at first but she’s been only hissing occasionally when she’s wanting personal space.

I have two kitties, an 8yo boy cat and a 6yo girl cat, who usually get along beautifully. They aren’t technically related, but I adopted them within a year of each other, and they love to sleep together, groom each other, play together, etc. However, we recently noticed that a neighborhood cat had been visiting our backyard and coming right up to our sliding glass door. Today, my cat, Inej, was watching the neighborhood cat when my other cat, Kenji, came running in and started attacking Inej. This happened again tonight, where the neighborhood cat was in our backyard, and Kenji chased Inej all through the house while she was screaming until I was able to grab him and separate them. Additionally, I’ve noticed in recent years that whenever Inej comes home from a vet visit, Kenji will act aggressively toward her (hissing, whacking) for a few hours until she smells like herself again. I’m guessing this might be related.

Does anyone have advice on how to make sure Inej is safe from Kenji should this cat continue visiting? I’m mostly worried for instances when my husband and I are away at work or traveling and can’t monitor them. Thank you in advance!

We adopted a 1 year old tabby a few weeks ago. He was scared and quiet initially, but now is very vocal and has some aggresive habits. Seemingly gone are our moments of getting him and they've been replaced by food demands and biting. The thing is, I don't rrally get this behavior. With me, 8/10 times he's calm. He doesn't really let me sleep during the night but I dont find it that big of a deal because on work days I dont need to be there until 2PM and I can recoup a few hours at a minimum in the morning.

My fiancee, however, seems to get this aggressiveness more than me, which is sad because she was the one that chose him and wanted to get a cat in the first place.

With her, she says he goes after her hands and feet, and can change attitude on a dime.

He's been sneezing, so im cautious about running him too hard with a cat toy. Vet at clinic and vet at shelter both said his breathing is fine, so it could be dust, but im unsure. He also has moments where it sounds like he's gasping hard on all fours and cant tell if he's coughing, choking or trying to push something out. I definitely try to take care of his exercise needs, and feed him accordingly so he associates the play with the reward, but its been a process due to the ailments even though no one seems to be concerned.

She's almost at her breaking point with him. I love him already, and am definitely bonded with him, but I dont know how we can proceed in this environment. Please offer help if you have it. I esnt to solve this for everyone.

So my cat is about 15 years old. In the last month he has become wobbly on his back legs. The vet thought maybe arthritis. Gave him some painkillers which made the pain go away but the wobbling is getting worse. I've seen arthritis in animals before and also have it myself and this just doesn't look like arthritis. He's still eating, drinking and everything it's just the leg issue

My cat likes to play in the litter box. Any ideas how to stop this behavior? He doesn't do it if there is anything in the litter box, but the moment I clean it, he dives right in. He digs all around like a dog in sand and litter flies everywhere.
We have more than one litter box and I clean them both daily.

He’s been getting chunkier this year but idk he doesn’t seem to lose or stop gaining. I feel like he’s a bit bigger every month is he overweight ??And if he is would anyone have suggestions to help get healthier?

TL;DR: My brother's cat adores my boyfriend but pees exclusively on things that smell like him. I'm trying to save both her living arrangement and his remaining uncontaminated possessions.

Meet Pebbles, my brother's cat and apparently a tiny criminal mastermind. She's been living with me, is doing great, and gets better care here than she would at my parents' house. I'd really like to keep her.

There's just one problem.

She pees on EVERYTHING my boyfriend uses.

His clothes? Pee.

His blankets? Pee.

A towel he used? Believe it or not, pee.

My belongings? Perfectly safe. Everything else? Fine. She uses her litter box like a normal, law-abiding citizen.

And here's the kicker: SHE LOVES THIS MAN.

She demands pets, seeks him out for snuggles, and acts like he's the greatest thing since canned tuna. Then turns around and pees on his stuff.

He doesn't even live here! He's over a few nights a week. My home is clean, he's clean, and apparently Pebbles has decided to charge him a biological occupancy fee.

It also seems to happen around the times we're intimate, which adds a whole new level of weirdness to this situation.

She's otherwise happy and thriving. I don't want to send her back to my parents, but I also don't want my boyfriend to have to store his clothes in the dryer like it's a high-security vault.

She has a vet appointment coming up to rule out medical issues, and I'm limiting her access to his belongings.

Has anyone dealt with a cat who adores someone but exclusively pees on things carrying their scent? What helped?

Because at this point, I'm just a landlord trying to resolve a very strange domestic dispute.

Is this a play or a fight? They are very new to each other. (Sorry about the quality)

I was petting a stray cat outside (sweetest little thing) and when i was giving her a treat, she put her paw on my hand and gave me the littlest baby scratch that drew blood. i’m not worried enough to go to a doctor, just worried enough to ask strangers for advice. do you think it’s something i should get checked out simply because it’s a cat scratch from a stray? it’s been a few hours since it’s happened and i just can’t calm my mind down, and google told me it’s definitely going to kill me so i just had to do something haha :’)

More importantly, the cat is the cutest orange cat and i wanted desperately to bring her in the house but ive got 2 dogs and a cat already that does not get on with other cats :/ i dubbed her squirrel in honour of squirrelflight from warrior cats :>

EDIT: i just posted this and decided i was overreacting and i can’t get rid of the photo of my thumb looking just fine so pretend it’s not there; look at the cat instead😭 she had the cutest fucking patterns and i did try to let her inside for a moment (with all my animals in a room) because it’s pretty cold outside, but the dogs kept scratching on the door and miss kitty was not risking it. i put some water outside and a blanket though!

Hi there. I have an elderly cat (14 yo void) who has arthritis. He's on a monthly injection and I have an appointment for him on Monday for what will be his first visit in about 6 months, since I've just noticed he's having more trouble with some things-- getting up on higher cat beds, going to the bathroom.

I was wondering if people had any recommendations for litter boxes that are good for elderly cats. He really needs something more flat and open than a traditional litter box. I was thinking of maybe using disposable litter pans but I'm not sure as I've never tried those before.

I was also looking for any general recommendations or tips for caring for an elderly cat. Tips, recommendations for items/aids, things to look out for. I love this guy and I want to ensure I keep him comfortable and cared for as he ages. Cheers.

Context:
My cat has been having some mouth problems and when it gets bad she will only eat wet food and even then sparsely. Shes lost 2lbs in the last two months (we’ve been to the vet numerous times trust)

I really need to fatten her up so she doesn’t wither away, but I will fill her bowl in the evening and she does not finish it. She is definitely undereating but I don’t know what to do to get her to eat more.
Right now I feed her half a can of science diet kitten wet food (has more calories) with a handful of dry science diet and mixed with some water (she prefers pate & soupy rather than big chunks of food).
The worst part is I know she’s hungry because she cries to me and leads me to her bowl… that still has food in it! And then I top it off and she just scratches at it. 🥲
She eats, but not NEARLY enough. How do I get her to eat more?

My girlfriend and I moved in together on August 1 into a two-story, 3-bedroom house. Between us we have three cats:

**(1) A**: my 4-year-old female. She lived in a house with 2 other cats prior to me with no issues, then 2+ years alone with me prior to the move.
**(2) B**: my girlfriend's 4-year-old female.
**(3) C**: my girlfriend's 1.5-year-old male. B and C have lived together basically C's whole life and are fine together.

We kept A separated from B and C for a few days, then let them out. Initially all was well. A adjusted immediately and claimed the downstairs. B and C were timid for a day or so, then took over the upstairs.

But I think we made a mistake: we initially put all the litter boxes upstairs, with A's food downstairs. Soon it seemed B and C started "guarding" the top of the stairs when A came up to use the litter. We eventually added a box downstairs, which I have seen all three use.

But since then, A basically refused to leave her cat tree downstairs, for weeks. She hisses at B and C whenever they approach, and there have been several scuffles (with no injuries). If she leaves the tree, she winds up under a couch upstairs sometimes for hours. Short reintroduction attempts haven't worked. B and C seem more curious than aggressive, while A is the one hissing and reacting. This is NOT her personality when I lived with her.

Currently, A lives alone in a small room with her food, water, and litter, door closed 24/7. She seems content, but we both work full time out of the house and I'm worried about her lack of exercise and stimulation long term. It really really bums me out

**My goal is for all three to coexist happily.** Has anyone successfully reintroduced cats after a bad start like this? Should we start over with a full slow introduction (scent swapping, feeding at the door, etc.)? Is this fixable, or should I be prepping for A to live separately? Any advice appreciated!

Hey! My cats had this squiggly line for as long as I can remember on her eye. What is it?

In this week i had two kittens die back to back, their death causes aren't connected, im very depressed and i still can't process their death

got a kitten from the street last night, gave wet food, water, litter box, hidey hole, all that jazz. vet appt today and they said she’s 8 weeks, belly distended, probably from worms. i can feel her little spine bones. eating and drinking and peeing, no poop yet. friendly little critter. purrs when you pet her, even rubbed her face against me a bunch and flopped down against me. started being curious about the bathroom and explored the tub, meowed when she thought she couldn’t get out. lets me touch her all over and doesn’t react to her belly being lightly rubbed. she even purred at the vet and the vet said she was begging to be an indoor cat.

the vet gave her her first shot, dewormer, and a flea treatment, but i keep being concerned about her distended belly. when should it start coming down? she hasn’t pooped in the 24 hours she’s been here, when should i be concerned about blockages?

It’s super humid here most of the year and I still haven’t found a litter that doesn’t smell bad.

I’m currently using Trouble & Trix Natural Pellets. I scoop every day and run an air purifier in the same room and I can still smell it ughhhh.

Please drop some recommendations, thank you :)
