The biggest thing of all is comfortably finding a solution that you think works for you. It sounds like you may have found it! Please let us know how things go.

Hi! I know it is hard with all the kittens being born and too few fosters, but I hate hearing so many cases of kittens being separated from their moms way too soon, which is the case for the kitten you have. That is adding to your anxiety because this kitten should have still been with the mom...

Hi! As already mentioned, the current dynamics with your other cats is going to play a role in bringing in another cat. I recall your previous post, and you were worried that the cat that likes your daughter better than anyone else was negatively influencing his brother and you had at one time...

Hi and welcome to TCS! I agree that the new cat needs more time to adapt to her new home - before being introduced to your other cats. She’s only been in your home a few days and it can take a lot longer than that to get used to a new place, much less new cats. She probably seemed fine at first...

Hi. No, IMO, it would not be considered norma. If they are related, genetics could be playing role. However, soft stools will also attribute to anal gland clogging, as it is defecation with normal stools that help empty the anal glands. If their poo is soft, it sounds like they might benefit...

Hi. I am confused. Did the runny and black stools occur after the vet told you to start giving him laxatives? Was he constipated before that? Runny stools can occur in a cat that is being given laxatives when they are not needed, or if they are being given too much. Cloudy eyes might mean he is...

Go back to strictly the Weruva she was eating before and give it enough time for her to realize you haven't mixed something in with it. Right now, I am guessing she is a bit suspicious of what might be in there.

I hope your plan works!

Hi. It is just a wild stab in the dark, but maybe put some olive oil (room temp or a bit warmer, not cold) on the glove and then see if she will let you pet/groom her in the area where the poop is stuck. Hopefully, the oil will help loosen it some, and maybe she will lick off the oil? I am...

Maybe if these vets are too far away, they would be willing to offer consultation via teleconference? Ther are several others listed as well. If you search for them, you might find the ones closest to you. Veterinary Oncology (rvc.ac.uk) Pet Oncology | Cancer Care Service | Davies Veterinary...

Hi. Any chance the groomer you like and trust would have a referral for you that is closer? If not that, look for a cat only vet as I expect they have a little more experience in dealing with long haired cats just because cats are all they take care of. A cat only vet might even have some...

I would not separate these kittens, as noted above the most timid one will learn from the others as they adjust, he will slowly follow suit. They are really very young to have been separated from their mother, so once you get them more comfortable with you, you will need to become mom and teach...

Many antibiotics cause diarrhea due to the fact it kills off both good and bad bacteria in the gut. Most probiotics aren't terribly effective because the antibiotics kills off the bacteria being produced by the probiotics - kind of a vicious cycle. One of the probiotics that works more...

I agree about having your cat's thyroid level checked again to see if a dosage change is needed, as well as blood work if he has not had any done recently. Aside from that, another common reason is stress/anxiety. So, look for other signs of stress and take note of any changes in routines, the...

Hi. I too have questions. Is she on dry food only because it is a 'special' type diet for allergies in general? Most of the food for allergies also come in wet form too - so that is something to consider. The fact that she ate the fish probably rules out this being from a hairball, because why...

Hi, I am so sorry about what Kipper's going through. I can only suggest that you consult with an oncology vet to see what they say. They will be more experienced and up to date on treatment options, and at least give you the chance to get a second opinion from an expert in the field of oncology...

You can try to prepare by using some towels/blankets with Violet's scent on them to rub on Louis when he returns home. The ssme can be done with brushing Violet and leaving her hair in the brush and then brush Louis. If it doesn't work right away, continue to do so for a day or so. Again, if...

Let us know how things go with your new cat (name?/pic?) and how he does with trip #2. Will you be able to keep him at home?

Hi! Do you feed him in the kitchen? What is his feeding schedule, and if this behavior only recently started has there been a change in the schedule or the food you are feeding him? It might also be helpful to know how old Humphrey is and how long you have had him in case either of those things...

Hi and welcome to TCS. As far as the meowing goes, it will just take time for you to decipher it as you learn more about him and learn his preferences and personality. There is no one code/meaning to what each sound a cat makes. Longer meows might mean he does want out, especially if he has...
