If you have your litter in a small place or living room, you can use a cable extension cover to store the scoop, bags and even a pet friendly deodorizer (activated charcoal). My cat loves to come and go from either sides by stepping on the covers!

My baby cat has a scratching problem. I’ve purchased MULTIPLE scratching posts and beds to

prevent this and have been trying to train her but she’s a freak that loves to attack.

I rented this furniture for $135 for the year and it’s for this L shaped couch, table and chairs, and mattress upstairs (I live in a loft style.) And also I live in South Korea for reference

I’m nervous about the cost of the couch for when I move out in a year. I bought a sofa cover that’s going to arrive in a week to prevent further damage but for the current damage.. any advice? I was going to cut the loose strings and inform my landlord about it when I move out in a year. Will they take all of my deposit? Some of my deposit? Make me pay a huge sum of money to where I’m broke? Both?

The rented cost of the furniture isn’t that bad for a year’s worth of usage, but I don’t know how Korea works

Any advice on what to do or anyone have maybe a rough estimate to what they THINK it might cost me based on experience?

ALSO HOW DO I GET HER TO STOP DOING THIS🥲🥲🥲

Hi all!

Long story short, my wife and I ran into the same struggle many of y'all have in the past as apartment renters without any outdoor space to build our indoor cats an outdoor catio.

So we built a window catio for our own kitties, Mr. Tumnus and Ernie, and they LOVED it. I know many of y'all have been on the hunt for pre-fabbed catios and things that can be easy to pop in and out, so here you go! We’ll be taking pre-orders soon via Kickstarter, but in the meantime check out our IG page (u/thepurrgola) and our website (www.thepurrgola.com) to stay updated on when we go live!

These cats have been with the rescue the longest, patiently waiting for a year! Meet Fritz and Catrina, both around a year old and bonded, so they must be adopted together.

Fritz, a special needs kitty, requires a pill every other day, which costs only $15 per month. The rescue will supply it for 6 months! Despite his needs, he is incredibly loving and enjoys being a lap cat.

Catrina is also very sweet and loves attention, purring happily when she's showered with affection. While she may not be a lap cat, she is still affectionate and adores interacting with people.

If you're interested in adopting Fritz and Catrina or have any questions, please reach out to No Paws Left Behind Kitty Rescue or @pawsandplayfosters on Instagram.

Just wanna introduce myself. I’m new. I have two cats.

Bug is a tuxedo. She’s the one with more white and has a heart nose. She’s diabetic and 14!

Spider-Man chose her own name. She’s also a black and white furball. I can’t believe it but she’s 7.5.

Very different personalities but get along very well!

I wish someone would have prepared me for the sudden blow up from kitten to cat. It's only been like 3 months and my lil bean keeps sprouting ;3;

Anyway, show me your cats! :3

The sooner you catch it, you can prevent your cat from suffering. Kidney Disease is hard to spot without regular testing, but kidney Failure becomes apparent in a much bigger way and by then it's usually to late. It's common in older cats, and can be caused by many things including: infection, poisoning, viruses, cancer, not drinking enough water (especially on a biscuit only diet).

Symptoms of kidney failure include:

Drinking more than usual, peeing more than usual, eating less and less food until it's barely eating (at this stage, weight loss will happen FAST and the cat will lose strength as organs begin to shut down), fatigue, feeling cold and might start to smell bad.

In my experience (4 cats so far), once they start eating less, they have 2-5 weeks left before they really start suffering. I've tried treatment such as IV drip, but for us, it didn't prolong their lives, and I had each cat put down peacefully after much pampering.

So yeah, just in case you see these kind of symptoms, call the vet and do some googling.

post again!!! love it!!!

So, long story short, I am caring for my ex's cat while she's on deployment (broke up during deployment). Of course break ups are not easy and it's hard having to think of my ex daily because of her cat. Well, my ex informed me that she couldn't keep the cat even after coming back from deployment and that it was best I surrender her to a shelter. Let's face it, it isn't fair for the cat and I simply don't have it in me to give her up.

Now, I have never had a cat before, I do have a dog that's beyond hyper, and the cat is currently planning his murder.

I'm looking for advice on things I can do to make the environment more peaceful for the cat. I have a roommate that's very distracted and I am always terrified that the cat is going to run away, any advice? I have a gate by the door, but she easily climbs up to get to the other side. Really, any advice or tips that can help. I want to make her new home as comfortable as possible.

My cat has recently started having some eating issues. He still eats when he is hungry but it’s not as often as he should. Recently he’s been dry retching, coughing, and gagging. He keeps swallowing and licking his mouth like it’s dry but he isn’t drinking more water. His nose seems a bit on the stuffy side since he’s snoring louder and he now purrs with his mouth completely open. When he begins to purr he always has to dry retch. I have no clue whats going on, if he’s just sick or if it’s something more.

So my sister found a 1-3 month old kitten outside of her work a couple of days ago. I’ve been searching around for a cat for a while and when she said she needed someone to take it I was kinda like, fuck it, why not. I did not realize how clingy he was. She warned me but not to the extent. He is SO LOUD he will meow for I kid not, 20 minutes straight when I am in the shower, eating, or doing literally anything other than actively petting him. He just meows if he’s bored while he wonders. Usually I wouldn’t have too much of a problem with this as I know he is a kitten, however I have to get up early for work (usually around 3-4am) and that means I have to go to bed early. Last night I tried to tire him out, fed him, played with him, knowing I was going to have to go to bed early and I wanted to give it the best chance he would sleep through most of the night and be quiet. However, besides this, I still got up about 3-4 times to take him to his litter box, food, water, etc because he wouldn’t be quiet and would just sit on my bed meowing constantly. I wanted a cat because I thought it would be easier than a dog, that it would take less time for him to get adjusted, and for the most part he would just chill. He is not chill. So I’m wondering if this will just go away with time and that he’s loud because he’s just a kitten. My only plan as of fright now is to kind of ween him off of the clingy-ness by just leaving him in the living room while my boyfriend sleeps. But I told him if it gets too bad he can let him in, but I want him to get used to being by himself, because with both mine and my boyfriends work schedules, we both need to go to bed early and will be out a good chunk of the day. So unfortunately for cat (to be named later) I. Need him not sleeping on my bed, and for him to quiet down and just chill. My saving grace is that hopefully he’ll get adjusted and this phase will only last a few weeks or so.

Background: One of my cats (11 year old neutered male) started purposefully peeing outside of the litter boxes (we have multiple boxes) about a year and half ago. He has UTIs in the past, but has not had any recently (it’s probably been at least 4 years since his last case). He been to the vet multiple times and did not test positive for anything (they did give him some antibiotics just in case during one of his more recent visits last year.) He eats special prescription UTI preventative cat food. We have tried multiple things to try to get him to stop, but have not been successful. His vet believes his behavior may be stress related, so he receives a prescription topical treatment in his ears each night. It does not seem to help. We also have tried the cat pheromone plug ins which don’t help either. We do have two other cats (one male and one female, both younger; all are fixed and indoor cats). He is super close to the male. He gets along okay with the female for the most part, although she does sometimes bully him (we separate them whenever this happens.

Anyways, long story short, he keeps peeing on the wall next to the main litter box and even though we try to clean it whenever we see him do this, it has seeped into the hardwood floor underneath. Any tips for treating and removing the stains?

does anyone else’s cat scratch their litter box endlessly after they poop?

i feel like my cat, no matter how much or how little litter is in the box, will try and cover her poop as much as possible and ends up scratching the bottom of the box. it wakes me and my partner up at least a few times a week in the middle of the night. our other cat who is her sister doesn’t exhibit this behavior and we don’t know what to do. we’ve tried different litter boxes since getting them 6 months ago and now we use a stainless one which is just easiest to clean (also making it the loudest with nails scratching metal🥴)

I know it’s not a whole lot, but we’re growing!

Let me know if there’s any particular topics y’all want to talk about.

And please, invite your friends!

Let's look back at some memorable moments and interesting insights from last year.

Like should I use regular nail clippers I know how to trim them but I don’t know what to use so it would be helpful I believe I’m heading into town today to grab some stuff so it might be helpful as soon as you can thanks

I adopted a 1 year old cat about 2 months ago

He is a great cat all in all, but he bites. Like, a lot.

Lately he has been having episodes of aggression multiple times a day.

My family and I are thinking of getting a kitten so they can tussle and not bite us as much.

I am wondering if this is a good idea or a bad idea.

If someone could give me the pros and cons, that would be greatly appreciated

i adopted a kitten a week ago, as soon as i grab his food bowl to feed him he starts screaming, not a cute meow but a scream as if he was about to be murdered. this goes on from when the bowl leaves the floor until he gets to gobble it all down. why is this and is there anything i can do to change this?
