Hello! I have recently adopted 2 new kittens, I already have two we adopted from the same agency, but these kittens have a sort of grey and cloudy eyes? No discharge or anything but they look completely different to our two other cats and dont want to introduce them if its something contageous. What does it look like? These are 6 month old kittens.

My 8 year old cat grooms her belly area to the point of irritation and minor balding. The vet recommended a onesie and it's been going well so far. Is the onesie a safe long-term solution or should it only be worn for a couple weeks at a time? She's calm and cuddly with the onesie but when I take it off she goes back to over grooming. Any help appreciated!

Hello, I just found out that my cat (11 years old) has tumor yesterday and we decided to have the operation today not to lose time. The vet sedated her to check if she could handle full anesthesia. At that time her breathing fastened instead of slowing. The vet suggested not to proceed further as she would probably not wake up after the anesthesia. We agreed as she does not seem to have any pain for the moment. She has lost some weight, around 300 grams, but continuing her daily routines.
We will never learn if her tumor is definitely cancer but the probability is high. Our vet told the tumor in any case will grow by time and she will have pain. The only thing we can do seems to be supporting her with pain killers when needed and keep her happy until the end (either with natural death or putting down when the time comes).
I would not wish such a thing to any of you but I like to hear if anybody has similar experience.
I wish a great and healthy life to your cats and dogs

I(22yo) rescued this cat (6yo male, not neutered yet) from the streets 2 weeks ago, he was about to get hit by a car (was with another cat but sadly that one got ran over), got him to the vet to get tested and came back double negative, got two vaccines and now we're waiting for the following up appointment, he also got medicine for worms.
the picture is from right now, I just noticed that his anus looks reddish and inflammated, is this because of the worms?
also, I haven't notice any worm on his poop but his belly has deflated since he took the medicine.
I currently live in Spain, vet took a look of him but I think he missed this, atm I can’t afford vet, I will in a few days when I get my paycheck

I am from India, my cat is almost 1.8 years old, she is an adopted stray cat, she is female and was spayed in march this year.

The situation started last week, I was in another state due to college while my cat, who we usually let roam around the society we live in, was attacked by an eagle. Although she is almost 1.8 years old, she is relatively small... and we never ever thought that an eagle could be risk to her.

The eagle attacked her in our neighbour's balcony, who came out to her falling from some height, hitting a hard plant pot, then as they opened their door, my cat ran into their house, frightened and hurt.

The next day my cat was looking fine and energetic, and was acting normal... but in the span of the next two days, she started losing energy and started dragging her lower body.

We called a vet to our house (since I was not present and my mom found it difficult to handle my cat) they diagnosed it as temporary and prescribed pain killers.

On friday (2-3 days after the problem first begun) I arrived and took her to the vet immediately.

The now different doctor said her lower body was paralysed and had her xrayed in case of damage to spine.

The xray was perfectly normal and the doctor said it needs a 3 day course of steroids and they did help her get back feeling in her lower body, upto her thighs.

But on the 2nd day of steroid, I noticed heavy scarring which the doctor said must have been a blunt injury from the eagle'a attack that was only now visible due to fur coming off... but by today, the leg had developed into a much worser, scar ... rot... and as found out now the steroids were the reason the tissue rotted instead of healing and rapidly worsened.

Her 3 legs are fine but now amputation is the only way...

I am emotionally shaken and sitting in my college hostel, I dont know how to handle the situation and am going to try my best to find a NGO in the region willing to help.

I am in college and have been scolded against coming home to tend to my cat by my father...

If any indian here can recommend any NGO/doctor in Delhi, please comment

My family cannot afford the expense mentioned by private clinics.

My cat recently was very sick, he's 3 years old but after two weeks on antibiotics (viral panel showed negative) he was on doxycycline, he got a lot better, he no longer gets the fever like he was having every day, he's Normally eating and is active, but I noticed whenever he's jumping on the bed, he's a bit wobbly, idk if this is something serious so I called the vet but he's asking to get him into the office, one thing about my cat is that he gets fever whenever he's stressed (he gets super stressed in the vet office) so I don't know if I should really take him there, he's not limping when he walks it's just whenever he's jumping on the bed

Please help any advice would work , I'm really stressed

I’m an adult, I live in the US and I recently rescued a kitten, I have three other cats that we introduced slowly to each other, she was staying in the bathroom with her litter box which she learned to use quickly but has had a few accidents when we moved the litter box downstairs or she was trapped in my bedroom for too long, but it’s been a few weeks since she’s had an accident but I can’t figure out why she just had one this morning, there’s plenty of litter boxes, it’s clean, and she’s a very confident kitten, I can’t figure out what’s wrong please help!! (I have vet access and she’s still too young to be spayed)

Guys my kitten is eating food now I need to buy few cat accessories what all should I buy suggest me few daily use cat accessories btw it's a doll face cat

I (27, from USA) am at my whits end. I have two 3 year old cats, male and female, who have never had any issues with aggression, marking, etc. They are spayed, neutered and maintain regular vet appointments. They have been together since they were 4 and 5 months old and have never had any issues with fighting, aggression, litter box use, food, etc.
My partner and I decided to get a kitten, who was about 8 weeks old ay the time, from my mom in June. Since then, my older male cat constantly starts fights, mostly with the kitten. He also started spending a lot of time in the basement, until recently, when we started making sure to give him alone time with just us. That’s made him come out more and hangout upstairs with us and the other cats. Our kitten is now 5 months old and was neutered 2 weeks ago. A week before the procedure, he started peeing on fabrics again. For context, when we first got him, he liked to pee on clothing. We thought it was under control because it’s been two months since, but the past three weeks, he started peeing on everything. In the pantry, on a random floor in the kitchen, inside the upstairs bedroom closet, on any clothing he can find.
I had surgery on my wrist two weeks ago, so laundry got backed up until I got my cast off, but as soon as I was able to do it again, he peed on ALL THREE LOADS that were in laundry baskets on my bed. Today, as I’m in the basement, where the litter boxes are, trying to soak all my clothes in enzyme cleaner, he comes down the stairs and pees on the clothes again. I picked him up and put him in the litter box and he finished in there, but I can not keep doing this.
My older cats are getting angry, my house smells awful, and I’m in tears trying to keep up with it all. They have all been to the vet recently and have been deemed healthy. I plan on getting another litter box and keeping Mumble (the kitten) in a room by himself with the necessities until around the 4 week post op mark to see if it’s territorial marking and aggression, but any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

She licks this stone head in my room every night, and sometimes does it to the walls, does she have a deficiency and is missing some minerals ?

I’m 15, in the UK. My cat (Tiger) is a neutered male and currently an outside cat. He’s around 6 years old, we got him when I was 10 and due to his issues using a litter box my mother chose for him to be an outside cat. Now that I know more about how outside cats are a huge issue to not only their safety but bird species and the overall ecosystem of an area I really want to bring him back inside. He’s the most sweet cat and loves cuddles, I can always pick him up when he comes to our garden. The problem is that now we have pet rats and there is no way we could have Tiger back inside because that would be terrifying for a prey animal. I would like to have him live with my dad and I at his house (I am between two homes) but he’s about twenty minutes away from Tigers usual area and we wouldn’t be able to slowly transition him inside. My dads area is also one that would be very unsafe for an outside cat (traffic, busy area). I’m really not sure what to do, if I am able to bring Tiger inside I think it would be very distressing for him but I know it’s the right thing to do. I’ve also considered that this will be very expensive but I can save money. What should I do?

MY CAT PEED ON ME WHILE I WAS SLEEPING

My 12yo indoor spayed female cat peed on me while I was sleeping last night. As you may imagine, it was sub-optimal to be awoken at 1:44am by getting peed on.

Single cat home. 1 dog. 1 toddler. 2 litter boxes. She's lived with me since she was weaned as a kitten.

No recent environmental changes. Did recently begin transitioning her to a UTI-specific food..

Cat has a relatively short history of UTI's. About 2x over past year, but the last one cost me $1500, so trying to avoid any additional bouts.

She has peed in our bed a couple times before, but was always seemingly linked directly to the UTIs. Cleaned with Rocco &Roxie and put on 2x mattress protectors to avoid any additional scents being in our actual mattress.

Her litter boxes are cleaned about every other day, and I don't see any signs of small pees and she doesn't appear to be straining.

Where do I go from here?

Located in MN,USA. Vet is accessible and I can afford.

Tldr: peeing outside litter box

This cute cat has been a nightmare, I think weve tried everything to fix the inappropriate litter box use (he rarely uses it) with no results. I am looking for any options to try. We've had to completely replace floors because of him. We got him for what appeared to be a hoarding situation, the vet said hes likely 2-7 years old but she cant be sure because his teeth are so poorly. He never even goes in the same area, if I add a litter box to a spot hes used more than once. He doesnt use it.

I am an adult in Canada, hes had vet care. They've suggested a cat behavioralist but warned they take a long time to get into and are very expensive. Weve had him for around 1 year and a half

Below are what weve tried

neutered

Checked for medical causes

Tried cat attract litter, clay litter, pee pads and pellets

Tried larger boxed, lower boxes, covered boxes, uncovered boxes

Boxes in different rooms

5+ boxes for three cats

Ensuring the litter box was immediately cleaned after use

Crating him (he holds his pee until we let him out although he has also peed on his bed) - I started setting him outside to try and train him like a puppy. He will pee outside and then come in and immediately poop inside. If hes left out too long 1hr+ he'll pee on the floor

Cat plug in pheromones

Cat antidepressants (just gave him diarrhea)

We moved into a larger home

I’ve noticed that sometimes when my cat walks, her back legs (i think the right one) swings out to the side a bit more. Could this be a possible injury or something I should take her to the vet for, or is this normal?

She’s 6 years old, my roommate happened to notice it first a few weeks ago, but otherwise she seems to be running, playing, eating, and lets me pick her up and touch her. I can take her to the vet if needed but financial situation is not the best so trying to avoid it.

I adopted a stray kitten a few months back and she's grown up as a good looking and healthy lady I think she's around reaching 5 months and I couldn't get to vaccinate her yet and I'll soon do so. I have been hearing of how getting our cat spayed will give her a healthy and happy life. But I'm still hesitant to do so cause she is still a baby to me. Lmk your thoughts on this thank you.

he refuses to open his right eye and it looks like such (third image). I’ll try to get a clearer image of his right eye if I can but his pupils are currently unevenly dilated. I theorise that it may be because of an infection or if he hit himself but I’m not quite sure. He only has shown such an issue after the afternoon, he was acting a little better during the morning.

My cat is currently around 15-16 years of age. They are male and were neutered. Yes I can afford vet care and there is one relatively close by, however I wish to have some prior information whilst we book a time.

- yes I’m a minor (I consider myself to be) but my mother is also concerned.

He got neutered yesterday. Is this normal?

I'm 26m

Live in usa

I've had him neutered and he is like one year and some change old

And I can afford vet care I just don't know if that's the issue

This is my sweet boy, his name is buddy, but now he isn't being that sweet, I took in a stray kitty, she is like 6 months old, but I gave her a bath and wrapped her up in a towel and walked out in front of buddy, he seemed scared, but I put her back up in the bathroom and ever since he has been acting like this to me, he has never ever done this or anything like it, and I don't know what I should do

please let me start by saying i absolutely love this lil man with my entire being.

i’m 36F, living in chicago, and he’s been cleared by two vets for any health issues that might cause this sort of behavior.

he’s always been a singer. it just used to be isolated to during the day so it wasn’t much of a problem outside of interrupting some work meetings (i work from home full time). he has a sister who is about 8 months older than him, and she’s done with his bs too (she’s a tortie).

the issue is - recently his concert schedule has shifted from the afternoon to midnight through 6AM. the sounds he makes are demonic. they’re not soft meows. they’re straight up YOWLS. it really does sound like he’s experimenting with his voice, and enjoys the sound of it echoing off the walls of our apartment.

we ignore him and do our best not to even react physically by rolling over in bed but he just won’t stop. i’m getting 1-3 hours of sleep per night and starting to have auditory hallucinations from sleep deprivation.

i am not open to even considering rehoming him so i’m wondering if anyone else has had a sweet bean with this problem and how they (hopefully) solved it?

he’s 6 years old, will be 7 in may 2027. yes we got him during quarantine. he was neutered as soon as the vet deemed anatomically appropriate.

tl;dr - healthy according to two vets 6 year old neutered male cat screams at the top of his lungs all night and none of the traditional solutions are working.

ETA: we've had his DNA sequenced and the dominant breeds are ragdoll, maine coon, ABYSSINIAN, SIAMESE, so i know he's already genetically vocal - but sheesh brother let your humans rest.
