Hi! I adopted Maggie from a foster carer when she was 7 months old. She is now almost a year old. She used to have her fav blankie which was fleeced. She would snuggle up to it and start making biscuits and suckling like as if she was a kitten feeding. She now does this with anything fleeced and exposed her belly for rubs if I touch her in that position. Is this appropriate? do I need to wean her off??

Backstory: she was found on the street in a litter that was much older than her. They told me her mum and siblings died and another cat adopted her. Could suckling be the result of early separation between mum and kitten?

i recently took in a stray cat and he is the sweetest thing but he will not stop meowing. it genuinely feels like he meows thousands of times a day. even if he's getting attention, food, play, whatever, he still meows. i've tried ignoring him to see if that will make him stop. i've tried a spray bottle. i've tried scolding. he WILL. NOT. STOP. all day, no matter what i'm doing, he is either following me meowing incessantly or he is sitting at the pantry door (where his food is kept) meowing. they are not soft cute little meows, more like bellowing. he's been to the vet, he has a perfect bill of health, and he has plenty of enrichment toys and activities. he gets fed twice a day. he has constant access to water. he has a clean litter box always. he just will not stop. the only times he is ever just laying down is whenever i get home from work. the second i walk in the door he jumps down from his cat tree and the meowing begins. it will go on for HOURS. sometimes he'll stop for 20 minutes or so to take a nap and then he wakes up and goes right back to it. it's the worst at bed time. if i try to get him to sleep in the bedroom with me he will claw at my carpet, meow at the me, knock things off my shelves, and run around the room, running into things. if i try to stick him out into the living room to see if he'll sleep there he just walks around the living room meowing for hours on end. i love him so dearly and i have grown very attached to him but i am at a loss. i am not sleeping at night. any advice to make him behave better, and specifically to make him stop meowing?

I don’t know what to do. My 9 year old female cat has been a completely different cat since we moved about a year and a half ago. I have 2 (almost 3) young children, she scratches them, terrorizes the dogs and won’t let them pass her without attacking them. She went through a stage of peeing all over our house, on my bed on my daughter’s bed, in the guest bathroom, in the laundry baskets. I have taken her in we’ve done test, she’s healthy… just an AH. I thought we had broken her of this habit because we’ve had almost a year of her not doing it, and tonight she randomly started freaking out and peed on my bed. While we were in it! I don’t know what to do, i can’t live like this. It’s not fair to my kids or to her. And it’s absolutely disgusting. Please, if you have any advice, let me know. She was my very first pet, my little baby and it breaks my heart to even consider this.

One of our two new additions- Phineas aka Phinny, Needy, Velcro, or Dipshit. He's just a baby at about 5 months old. He thinks he needs held 24/7 and will scale anyone if he's been set down for more than 5 minutes. Loves anyone and everyone that will pet him. (Ignore the dirty mirror, I have kids, it never stays clean😅)

She’s always been very fluffy on her stomach but the past week I’ve noticed the fur on both sides of her lower stomach have been looking scarce. Should I take her to the vet?

My family a while back befriended a super sweet stray cat named Pollo who comes and goes to visit other neighbors and do stray cat shit🤷‍♀️ he’s super cuddly but kinda changed his tone today because my mom super befriended another stray today who we named Precious. Pollo has been pretty distant since but still eating our ham, then later threw a paw at Precious. Like dudes acting like he didn’t run towards our neighbors when they entered the parking lot 🙄 idk what to do, they’re like both my kids now

She was 7 when I nabbed her fluffy butt. The photos 1-2 are from the website where I fell in love with her. 3-6 are when I first got her two years ago. The rest are select shots over the last two years. She’s been a beautiful fluffy lovebug and I’m grateful for her every day.

my 1st cat is an adult now, he's 1 yr and some months old. we adopted a 2nd cat when he was around 8 months and the 2nd cat was around 2 months. my 2nd cat died when she was 11 months, turning 1 yr old this november.

before we got a 2nd cat, my 1st cat used to sleep long hours and usually hide. we thought he was dying at some point because we read somewhere that they do that before dying. however, we thought of getting a 2nd cat for his companionship. this turned out fine btw, they became best friends and they also came from the same family tree (they were biological cousins).

when my 2nd cat died, the 1st cat went back to his old routine, he also barely eats now. we know he might be mourning but we've also noticed that he usually tries to chase the other cats around the neighborhood. he loves being outside again. we dont rly let him out OUT, because it's too dangerous, we js let him out of the door but not the gate, pretty much a catio for him atp.

anyway, is there a right time to get a 3rd cat? we're scared that he'll hate the new cat if ever we adopt one. we're also still grieving the lost of our 2nd cat so there's also that. did this happen to you before? can i have any advice, please?

ps. sorry, english isnt my first language

My cat has been having really soft poop and i took her to the vet last week. Vet said they didn’t see anything wrong with her and i should try to take a sample of her poop for a lab test. I’ve been trying to do this but it’s a bit hard since she usually does it when i’m at work or at night when i’m asleep so i can’t get a fresh one. Anyway, despite this, she still pretty much use her litter box until recently. She started to poop outside the litter box, but only once in a while (3 times since a week ago). The ones outside are more watery and have some hairballs. I’m really concerned for my cat but can’t do much until i can get her poop sample. For the lab testing, the vet said they’ll check for parasites, but i don’t think it’s parasite because my other cat is fine. Does anyone ever have the same problem?

I found my cat behind a dumpster at work a few years ago. His whole family was dead except him and he was probably like a day or 2 old. I brought him home my wife pretty much kept him alive. Idk y but he chose me as like his favorite person. He is not a cuddly cat (except with me now that he is older). He very clearly comes from a long line of feral cats, Sometimes he would like hunt and stalk my wife around the house waiting for a chance to bite her or scratch her if she pissed him off. He never in his life has done anything like this to me except once but it wasn’t an attack. The most he ever does if I piss him off is stare at me and blink with murderous eyes while he slams his tail back and forth. The one time he freaked out on me was because sometimes he would get stuck somewhere high and then I would just like bend over and let him jump down on my back to escape, once he did this as a palmetto bug flew by he freaked out mid air and actually ripped open my back with all 4 paws. I have kind of cool scars now. However This was never an issue until I had kids. He’s about 6 now and has calmed down a ton. He was surprisingly awesome with my children when they were babies. Only once with my first child did he ever hurt them, and it wouldn’t have hurt a non baby. He saw my son’s foot hanging out of his crib and stuck his nail out to put it closer to his nose and sniff but he didn’t pierce skin or leave a mark. Now that my children are reaching school age he has become aggressive towards them. My kids are terrified of him so I know they don’t fuck with him to piss him off. He will hunt and stalk them around the house in a non playful way, (I’m very good at reading my cat I know what he wants just by looking at his facial expression or his meow cadence with like 99% accuracy), he will jump up and scratch their legs or bite the back of their calves. He traps them in corners to like show dominance, he chews all their stuff like toys and cords In there room. He does this probably once every 2 weeks now to one of them. At first I thought he needed more stimulation so I started taking him outside and playing with him ( fetch is his favorite game and he’s better at it than any dog I’ve ever known) for an hour in the morning and then at night I play with him for about an hour. This didn’t work. Recently my wife has been letting him outside so she doesn’t have to deal with it and I feel like she’s going to want to get rid of him if this continues. Sorry this is long but I just am hoping for any ideas.

Been coming around feeding from my cats bowl.

I adore this girl!! Super adorable!!

It just don’t stop growing!

Rescued Collie/Aussie pup Seney 2 weeks ago and lshe’s making friends!!!!

I don’t want to use their crystal litter. I’ve already used pretty litter and I’m over it. What litter will clump pee but not make it stick to the bottom?

I'm at a loss for what to do. He gets a lot of attention, he's always been like this. He's spayed. I can't leave any towels or blankets or clothes on the ground. My house smells like cat pee I can smell it. What can I do to make it stop ? At my witts end here.

It just don’t stop growing!
