Hi there!  This can be common behavior for cats, and is typically not too much of a cause of concern. This is usually a sign to convey comfort, show affection, or to seek out comfort when the...

Hi Mona!  My name is Shannen, I'm a feline behaviorist and can definitely help you with this problem!  Assuming the vet has cleared him of any other health problems that could cause thi...

Certainly lots of interesting (and passionate!) views on cat diets! Cats can lead healthy lives whether fed dry, mixed or wet foods. Those who eat dry diets will naturally drink more water and sh...

I second the suggestion for Gabapentin. As a vet, I swear by it for very anxious kitties. It can also help to get the cat used to the carrier (have it out in the living room) and to use pheromone ...

Hi Alexandra, I'm sorry to hear about this. My name is Linda, and I'm a small animal vet with 10 years of clinical experience.   A once off vomit is not usually a concern and can be due to e...

My 9 year old usually healthy, cheerful mixed breed sweet boy just started  throwing up clear vomit with some kibble and acting a bit sluggish. No food changes. Added some prebiotic/ probiotic...

Poor kitty, and poor you! I have two cats who get intense vet stress and I empathize. I feel like a monster for subjecting them to it! We get gabapentin in the capsule form (100mg) and then open th...

Please consider your cat's nutritional needs ahead of your own convenience. Wet food is more similar to their natural diet and provides the nutrition they need as obligate carnivores. Dry food is n...

I have an overweight cat (we're working on it, she's stubborn) and we perform nightly "butt checks." I clean her gently with a washcloth and warm water if needed. It's also helped us notice any inf...

My 15 year old cat still does this on occasion. It's adorable and I assume it's comforting. 

I know how frustrating this is! Do you have other cats, Nancy? We had a similar problem and once I started working from home I noticed that one cat was being bullied by the others (well, to him it ...

We have a neutered male who pees all over the house. We have plenty of litter boxes, big ones. What's wrong with him? Head been to the vet and they don't find any physical problems

Why have my 18mos,old cats started kneading and sucking on a blanket?

@Bridgett Jurado no!!!! They knead because it mimics when they were nursing. It's comforting to them. Plus, it's adorable!

Hi Bridgett!  Cats will do this for a variety of reasons, but one big one is to convey comfort. They may do this to show they're comfortable and in a content mood, or they may sometimes do th...

@Lynda Rigsby One of my females and one of my males chew anything and everything. Some cats just like to chew on things. It's when they swallow them that you really need to worry. One of my male ca...

@Teresa Bosket I would have her checked for worms. That's usually a sign. ❤️🙏💕

@Bridgett Jurado Both of my male cats still knead as well as one of my females. I was told years ago that it was because they were taken away from their mother too soon. ❤️🙏💕

I rescued a male kitten about 6 weeks old. I assume he had been abandoned.  He was in pretty bad shape, only weighed 1 1/2 lbs. After 3 days I noticed he wasn't  doing well.. I took him t...

Hi @ Bridgett,    This sounds like typical Cat Flu, which is very common in rescues and those who have been in shelters or whose mothers were not vaccinated. As these are viral infecti...
