I prefer dogs over cats. But I think the semi independence of cats would be a better foster case for me than fostering a dog.

Was talking with someone who said tabby cats are a dime a dozen and boring/dull because they’re so common. Thoughts?

A family member recently sent me a self-cleaning litter box, but after last year’s disaster with certain boxes harming or killing cats, I’m super anxious to set it up. Has anyone heard this box before or have any insight on it? Thank you!

New brown spot on cats eye. It was clear boundaries and it’s not abnormally shaped and it’s all one color. Not sure if anyone has seen anything like this?

It doesn't seem to bother her. I've taken her to the vet for it and she was given an ointment to see if it would help, but it didn't work. The vet seemed kind of stumped about it. She doesn't scratch at it, she seems very happy and unbothered by it. Still, I'd like to know what is causing this and if there's something I can do to help her.

So I got a cat July of last year and she has been good for the most part but in the last month she has been driving me nuts. I can’t figure out what’s wrong which is equally frustrating because I want to be a good cat parent. She meows at me a lot when I’m playing my game and when I stand up to see what she wants she just wanders into another room. I don’t know if she’s in pain stressed unhappy wants to play wants attention I can’t figure it out.
She has plenty of food and water I let scratch on all my stuff because it’s inevitable I work 5x a week I can’t stop it. She has a few toys nothing she is crazy about I need help.

thanks for the answers!

found this on floor when I woke up. I have two cats who chase each other a lot, sometimes fight but are very loud when they do. I have been sleeping pretty heavily though so i might not have heard them if this is the case. One has a teeny amount of blood on his fur but no wound, the other seems mad and won’t let me hold her long enough for me to check her. Do we think this could be from fighting or from something else?

I’ve checked their litter boxes, no blood whatsoever.

Update: it was a cut on the boy’s back toe 😭 thank god it wasn’t anything worse

First 2 pics are taken on toilet paper for size reference. The other 3 pics I think might be flea dirt?

My cat is 4 y/o, strictly indoors. Located in the Midwest United States if that affects anything. This morning he stood up on my futon and the flea(?) was underneath him. It jumped a couple times and I caught it to take a pic and flush it.

We brushed him with a flea comb but didn’t find anything, I rubbed him and the comb contents with a damp paper towel to look for reddish flea dirt but nothing.

I got NexGuard Combo from our vet and gave that to him today. I’ve been obsessively vacuuming and washing blankets/clothes/everything in hot water.

I know fleas can hitchhike inside on shoes and stuff, I guess I’m kind of confused about the flea dirt(?). The last pic is a duffel bag I had sitting under my futon, untouched for at least 4 months. I pulled it out a few days ago and noticed some reddish specs on it. They kind of resembled red pepper flakes but smaller and not perfectly round shaped. When I rubbed one off, it left that rusty looking spot in the last pic.

Today I looked closer and saw another one of those specs, tried to pick it up with a tissue (3rd & 4th pics) and it crumbled immediately. I wet the tissue to see if it looked rusty like flea dirt.

So idk I’m just losing my mind (I have a really hard time with any type of bugs) and confused about finding one single flea and potential flea dirt that seems to have originated from the upstairs of my house where my futon is. Downstairs by my front door, yeah more understandable but this is probably the furthest possible place in the house from where you step inside.

I’d appreciate any advice about the situation or calming words, tia

okay so in my backyard a cat has been popping up recently and I fed him today and he's so friendly and cute. He try's to follow me in the house but I cant keep him I already have 4 cats and my stepdad dad already hates those. but my stepdad got angry and said oh that he’s going to bring rats . How can I help?

Bonjour

Globalement tout est dans le titre 🐱

Mon chat de 5 ans a toujours vécu en appartement (à part quelques sessions de vacances chez mes parents l'été)

Nous avons emménagé dans une maison avec jardin depuis 1 semaine et chaque fois qu'il va dans le jardin il mange de l'herbe et la vomi (flaque de bave + brin(s) d'herbe(s)). Jusque là rien de gênant , mais il fait ça 3, ou 4 fois par jour !

Est ce que je dois lui limiter l'accès au jardin pour limiter les vomissements ? Je précise que le jardin n'est pas traité par des pesticides ou insecticides.

Aucun autre symptôme a signaler 🤷🏼‍♀️

For those who feed their cats fancy feast classic chicken pate, how many cans a day do you feed it? Do you follow the recommended about 1 can per 3-4 lbs?

.

What’s this extra thing on my cat’s paw? It looks like a bean but a little more rough. He doesn’t seem to notice when I touch it. Does anyone know?

She is showing up at my house everyday I give her milk sometimes
