Hi there, this is Dr Linda, a small animal vet with 10 years of clinical experience.   This is a worry, especially when pee is involved.   If he is not passing full and normal urine s...

Hi there Angela and thank you for your question.   Even for a 12 year old, this seems a little excessive.   More importantly, if this is out of the ordinary and is suddenly a lot more...

Oh gosh, this is a worrying behaviour indeed. This can result in serious electrical shock and localised burns.   We need to treat the cats like toddlers and completely baby proof the cords ...

Why does a cat pee to spite you, after being told no?

Hi Carol, This does not necessarily mean she is senile. But given her age (congratulations old girl - 92 in human years!) she is in the golden years of being old and these behaviours are very comm...

Hi Joanne, I agree with Linda, this could be the result of being sick (such as Hyperthyroidism  or Feline Leukaemia) and elderly and a trip to the veterinarian can be beneficial.  In ad...

Hi Barbara,  Great news that she no longer has the redness. And you are on the right track! When getting a cat accustomed to having their teeth brushed, it is important to expose them to th...

@Crystal Trapasso In the wild, cats bury any remaining portion of their meal to hide any traces of scent and leftovers from predators. To perform this behaviour beforehand is just another inst...

My cat,female, 19 Years old and deaf. She pees everywhere but in her box! Why? She poops in box,   She also meows very loudly at 4am  and does this until l get up! Why? Is she senile?

 Also, they stop grooming themselves when they get sick or too old 

  I would take her to the vet and ask them, or ask a groomer 

( I would take her to the vet and ask them ), or ask a groomer what you should do 

When I adopted my kitten last year the vet showed me her red gums and said that she might have stomatitis, that there was a 10% chance that her gums could clear up on her own, and that in the mean ...

I have a 15 year old female cat who has not been able to groom like she use to, maybe because of teeth being removed maybe not. But she is so matted that it is causing her pain. Would have her shav...

My cat does the same thing, but before eating! Why is this?

My cat is feral I rescued at about 3 weeks. She is 1 year old, a house cat, she is fixed and bites me hard. I have tried everything I can think of! I need help!

@Angel Day if you are holding the kitten, try blow in his face if biting.  Also, when aggressive say no and put him down. I have one who becomes over stimulated easily and bites. 

Our 14 year old kitty is straining to pee or defecate. We are mixing pumpkin and soft food. He seems to be better! He is precious to our family!

I have a 12 years ago cat that like to sleep a lot 18-20 hours a day

Just give it up. I used to have a "no counter/no table" policy when I first got cats years ago. Guess who always wins? The cat. Now that I don't care, my 2 cats don't go on the counter. They still ...
