Hi Debbie and thanks for this question. I'm Linda, vet with 10 years of clinical experience. As these marks have been present for so long and since she was a kitten, we don't need to...
Sneezing and coughing in kittens is more often linked to a respiratory infection such as Calici or Herpes virus so a vet check is the first steo here. It won't harm to change litter to a '...
Hi there! This is incredibly common. Most cats (and dogs) prefer wet food as it smells better, tastes better and is easier/quicker to eat. We need to gte a little more strict here...
I'm sorry to hear this. A gaging or coughing sound accompanied by vomit may actually be a vomit vs a hair ball. Usually we viisbly see the hair ball once brought up. Hair balls can be re...
Hi there, this is Dr Linda, a vet with 10 years of experience. I'd add to the above that if your cat is not using their scratching post and mat, we can try to encourage this. The best way I have f...

Hi Sherry, I am sorry your cat has been peeing on things and kow this will concern you. It is a very frustrating issue to deal with. Cats never pee from spite or resentment. While i...
Hey Joanne, this is Linda, one of the vets. In addition to Nicole's comments, I'd add that we often de-mat elderly cats with no sedation, or just very mild sedation. Those who are in good health a...
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 ...
Hi there, this is Dr Linda. I echo Nicole that the first step here is in ruling in or out a medical cause for this behaviour. In a male, we would consider: FLUTD Urinary crystals or b...
Hi there, this is Dr Linda, a small animal vet. I'm sorry you are having this issue with your boy. If this is a new problem, I'd want to know if the poop is solid and if he is pooping mor...
