    I think it’s pretty normal. A majority of the cats that I know drool when they’re happy/relaxed, actually.

    time for a kitty-proof couch!

  3. Andrew Stanish

    maybe those plastic couch cover things?

  4. Andrew Stanish

    or scotch guard, that stuff rocks!

My Cat Keeps Letting Her Tongue Stick Out. I Think She Might Be Sick, But…

My cat keeps letting her tongue stick out. I think she might be sick, but she seems fine otherwise. I’ve just never seen her actually do this before though I’ve seen other cats like this when they were sick. Do I need to bring her to a vet?

Our Cat Used To Be Very Sociable With Other People, Even In Large Groups, Now…

Our cat used to be very sociable with other people, even in large groups, now he is timid when we have more than a few people over. We got him in February, when he was 11 months old, and are wondering why he might have changed his behavior?

I Gave My 15 Year Old Female Cat Her Dose Of Orbax 10 Hours Too…

I gave my 15 year old female cat her dose of Orbax 10 hours too early, instead of just once a day. Is this an emergency? I did give her sub Q fluid just prior.

So, I’m Taking Care Of My Friend’s Cat, And Was Instructed To Feed Her 2…

So, I’m taking care of my friend’s cat, and was instructed to feed her 2 cans of food per day.. Yesterday, the cat just wouldn’t stop begging for more food. I had to give her 4 cans throughout the day. Is that normal or healthy?

    Yes, that can definitely be normal and healthy.

  2. Laura

    Cats can be horribly manipulative.  Provided she is healthy, I wouldn’t worry.  I’d let your friend know, though. 🙂

  3. Dawn Ferara, DVM

    If she is only suppose to have 2 cans I would break up the 2 cans into 4 feedings, this may help

I Found A Cat In Front Of My Doorstep 2 Days Ago, And Since It’s…

I found a cat in front of my doorstep 2 days ago, and since it’s Easter holidays where I’m from – there’s no open vet clinics in my region. I thought it’s poisoned, so I gave it active charcoal 4 times, 7mg for 7lb, in the span of 8 hours. Then I started feeding it with pectin, and it was looking a lot better. Now things have turned for the worse, it cannot move its feet at all. What can I do?

My ~1 Year Old Cat Is Having Two Problems:
1. While We Play, She Is Moving…

My ~1 year old cat is having two problems:
1. While we play, she is moving her head in a weird way when (I think) she needs to focus on the “prey” with her ears.
This can be seen below in this short clip:
https://youtu.be/69bADiXzqKU?t=9
2. She sometimes plainly shakes head, during play time or walking. This behavior is clearly seen on the clip below:
https://youtu.be/p3CKfJFZlV8?t=5

Does this look like an inner ear infection (since I can’t observe any ear mites/parasites/fleas on the outside of the ears)? Is it possible to treat at home or she needs to see a vet?

    first: THANK YOU for linking to videos in  your post.  i really appreciate that, and it makes it a LOT easier to diagnose.

    for 1 – i agree with you.  i think she’s focusing on the “prey” with her odd head movement.  i’ve seen this before in a healthy cat.

    for 2 – maybe?  i’d wait and see on it, honestly. if this is only during walks and play it may be behavior-related rather than health.

My 7 Year Old Cat Started Breaking Out With Miliary Dermatitis After We Moved From…

My 7 year old cat started breaking out with miliary dermatitis after we moved from Arizona to Maryland. We have been to the vet several times. Skin test revealed no ringworm and topical flea medication caused her to break out more in the area it was applied. Tests showed no ringworm. We opted for steroid treatment as allergy testing and treatment was too expensive for us. Her skin cleared up for about a month, but now it has broken out again and appears worse thanbefore. The areas most affected are forehead, ears, chin, along the spine, and the base of her tail. She is also on Royal Canin SO Urinary food. How can we help her without making numerous visits to the vet? We just cannot afford to keep bringing her.
