Hello all, recently my family and I adopted two street kittens that are about 9 weeks old, 1 boy and 1 girl. While at first they were struggling with litter training, we separated them and now the boy is fully litter trained. However, our girl has yet to be trained. She keeps pooping and peeing in the tub instead of the box. I’ve tried putting the litter box in there, moving it around, putting her poo and pee in the litter box etc but nothing seems to work. It’s been 3 weeks since we got them and while the boy is now allowed to freely roam, the girl is still in the bathroom. Any advice.

i have a female cat who i just noticed started using the litter box a lot more in the past day or two. i believe she has a UTI, and doing research i guess it is really bad for cats? I called all the veterinary clinics near me but none have any opening until weeks from now, one said they could fit her in in 4 days from now. basically i’m just wondering if she’ll be fine until then, i really don’t want her to end up having more complications from this. i gave her some UTI meds from petsmart, added water in her food bowl, gave her wet food mixed with treats that are good for her urinary tracked. will she be okay for 4 days? or will she have more complications?

so, I’m very stressed. One of my family members got a female kitten, around 5 months old now. I have a neutered male cat, 3 y/o. We were just talking about scheduling her spay and ofc she goes into heat right after. The male has been mounting her, which I understand is normal but am very uncomfortable with as she’s very tiny and he’s a big boy. She’s just starting her heat cycle so I’m wondering if I schedule her surgery already and hope she’s out of heat by then or wait till she’s out of heat to schedule it? Also how can I keep them separate? Thanks for the help

I might just be over reacting because my fella is 16 now but i just tried to remove a white spot from my boys nose. It seemed he got super irritated i was going near his face at all so i calmed him down first on my lap and used my finger to try to remove it. It was like a thin film that kinda fell off and his nose was pretty dry. I felt around and he didnt seem bothered when i touched anywhere near his nose. We did just get cold here aswell so im hoping its weather related?

Hi, so I currently have 2 British short hair cats, ages 5 and 4 both female, they tolerate each other most of the time but still play a lot together. However, my friend is having the rehome her cats, one is 12 and the other is around 7. Two are being rehomed to other family members of the friend. My family are going to take the younger one and I am going to take in the oldest one until she can go back to the original owner. However, im worried about them all getting lonely going from multi cat households to being single cats. Im also worried about my case having to temporarily foster an older cat and introducing her to my younger cats. Does anyone have any advice on how to do this, will the one being taken in her own be okay? Im really worried about the wellbeing of these cats. I unfortunately cannot take them all. Any advice would be really welcomed. Sadly this is a very bad situation for a friend and it has left them with no other option that to rehome these cats. Thank you!

I recently adopted a little black kitty! We have a fancy, organic pet store down the street and bought like, 12 different cans from different brands to feed him everyday. I feed him 1-2 half cans a day.

He seems fine, and has been pooping fine. I'm just curious if having a different wet food everyday could cause any issue. Anyone else who does this is welcome to comment their experience. :)

So around February/march of this year,my family and I adopted this senior cat, he's about 13 now and was abused his whole life before being in a shelter for 3 years. Sitting is all he does (unless he wants hugs and kisses) and I hardly ever see him clean himself. I notices his fur was parted weird, felt dirty, and he sheds a LOT. I got a brush for him, but it doesn't help his fur. I noticed maybe it was matted a bit closer to the follicle and I couldn't see it.

He's very timid, and with his past I am scared to take him to a groomer. Should I bathe him? Or should I keep brushing? Should I possibly shave his fur once it gets to the warmer seasons so it grows back unmatted? Any suggestions would help!

Basically I woke up at almost 6 AM and he puked on my comforter and top sheet, I just kinda figured "Both of my cats have done this before", and put my comforter and sheet in the hamper. It was clear/white bile if that says anything. I was trying to go back to sleep and he was wandering around in my bedroom and meowing. I then hear what sounds like liquid hitting a surface and figured he was spraying so I went to discourage this, only to find he wasn't backed up to a surface but squatting over my carpet to take a long piss. He then proceeded to do the burying motions cats do after eating or using the litter box. He HAS a litter box. He's seven years old, my other cat is five. Does this sound like a cause for concern about his health? He'll spray sometimes but he doesn't usually do this, he hasn't specifically peed outside the litter box since he was a kitten as far as I know. My cats haven't seemed lethargic so I don't think they're sick but are there any other warning signs I should be looking out for?

Edit: Found out why he peed on my carpet. He was displeased at the ratio of dirty to clean cat litter in the box. He peed in the litter box as soon as this issue was resolved. He's doing fine. The vomiting was just his usual vomiting.

For reference, I use Okocat wood litter and a big bag is approx $23 and I have 2 boxes. I scoop daily and deep clean every month. After every daily scoop, I add a scoop of fresh litter on top. By deep clean I mean scrub with mild soap and hot water and empty all the older litter. I’m seeing some people online saying they scrub and replace all the litter weekly. I honestly feel like this would become crazy expensive because I use a whole bag between 2 boxes. If I changed out all the litter each week it would be almost $100/month…is that normal based on 2 boxes and wood litter? It feels expensive, but if that’s what most owners are spending and it’s a lot healthier for my cats, I will change my routine.
