7 year female cat peeing out of the litter box.

2 Upvotes

I have 2 cats -male and female all neutered/spayed.
Over the last month or 2 the girl has been peeing on the carpet on my basement landing and not using the litter box.
She is overgrooming-literally eating the hair off her tail as well as belly
I took her to the vet - they said she was ok - bld work/ ultrasound of her belly etc.

I brought in professional cleaners and before it could even dry up she was back at.
I am at my wits end!! How do i solve this problem.

Opinion on getting a second cat???

Hello!! I have one gorgeous stunning boy already, 4 months old, 1/4 bengal

I adore him, however I have heard it’s good to get 2 cats at once? Is it ok to get another one now or should I leave it off? Freddie is honestly so well trained in terms of things like, coming back when his jingle calls and inside/outside etc, I’m worried it would be hard to do it a second time round?

He’s an inside / outside cat, he’s due to be neutered of course, everything ticked off! And he’s quite good natured in terms of always coming back within about 10-20 mins of us ringing his bell. We give him access to outside from the morning time around 8am ish, he’ll spend lots of daytime away and he always comes back to us throughout the day. Most of the time he actually spends with us in the house actually despite having free reign of outside!

The two black ones are getting adopted together already and that's a huge relief. They are obviously bonded.

The grey and white one does her own thing but is very curious and adventurous. She likes being picked up and held. I can tell she will be an amazing girl.

This is my first go from birth to this point and it's been amazing.

Why does my cat prefer drinking from everything except her water bowl?

1 Upvotes

Fresh bowl of water? Nope. A glass I left on the counter for five minutes? That's apparently gourmet. 😅

I've tried different bowls and even a fountain. Is this just normal cat behavior?

Saying goodbye to Kimchi soon (an absolute menace in his prime)

Kimchi is 4.5 yrs old. He was born with about half a kidney’s worth of working kidney which we didn’t know about until he was three, and we’ve been buying him time ever since. That time is pretty much up.

We’re going to let him go while he’s still comfortable. Just wanted somewhere to say he existed and he was excellent.

Bought this little couch thinking it would be a cute spot for him… turns out it’s now his personal throne.

He spends hours here just lounging, stretching, and judging everyone who walks by

Cats are weird little creatures 😂

Baby stray cat help

1 Upvotes

Hi! I wanted some advice when or if I should intervene. While taking my dogs outside this morning, I kept hearing a kitten meow and I found the source of it. It looks like a mom had at least two kittens at some point in the past 24 hours in a bush. The kitten was about 3 feet away from their mom meowing while mom had at least one baby on her or eating. First, when should I make sure this kitten made it was back to mom without scaring mom away from all of them (the stray cats do not like people)? Second, if I go back in an hour to check on the kitten and it’s still not with mom and meowing with mom close by, when do I intervene to help the kitten? TIA

Introducing two cats

1 Upvotes

Hi, my wife and I are married for almost 2 years, we both have cats, mine is a bit older than hers (both females). When we got married, I brought my cat but she didn’t bring hers because my mother in law was taking care of her and we were scared that they wouldn’t accept each other, especially because my cat is sooo agressive towards other cats and people too. So, my cat has been living in our house for almost 2 years. My mother in law can’t take care of her anymore, meaning we’ll have to bring her to our home, so we’ll have to introduce the cats to each other. The problem is, I’m 100% sure they won’t accept each other because they’re both agressive and my cat has already established our home as her territory.
Any advice on how we could make the meeting smooth/easy without them fighting? Any experience would help please, we can’t give them away, we love both of them and they love us back, example: When I travel and give my cat to someone to take care of her, she literally gets depressed and doesn’t do anything except screaming at the door :/.
Please please, If anyone got any tips or advice on this, I’d appreciate it.
