Why does my male cat have such stinky bowel movement? I can hardly stand it. My female cat’s (his sister) bowel movement hardly stink and they eat the same flood and water.
How do I stop my male cat from playing in the water dish? He has the floor all wet all the time. I put water in his dish then empty it as soon as he’s done drinking but I would rather leave water in the dish.,
^^ was going to suggest a fountain.
also, i don’t know if this came to mind Dr. M, but my queen started playing in her water more and more near the end of her life. she was an old street moggy who had detached retinas and had difficulty seeing some things. she’d play in the water first to make sure it was there, THEN she’d drink.
Put a plastic tray under the water dish so that you don’t have to worry about the water splash?
How do I stop my cat from peeing on my lounge , he is a domestic inside 11 months old male cat who is litter trained. We have no other cats or dogs in our house and have had him here since he was 6 weeks old
has he been checked for a UTI?
to add: once he’s been seen by your vet (ASAP, please – UTIs can be deadly if a blockage happens!), retrain him to the litterbox. put him in a bathroom with the litterbox (and food and water, of course!), and ensure he’s using it regularly for about a week before you let him back out into the rest of the house.
My rescue cat- who we’ve had for about 6 months- just had some white discharge come from her ear. Otherwise, she seems relatively fine. She’s eating/drinking normally. She had a sinus infection when we first got her and then again about a month later. Since then she’s been okay. Any thoughts? This has never been a problem for my other cat, nor any other cat I’ve had.
As far as I can tell. It was only a little bit and was sort of dripped along the side of her head. I’ll take her to the vet tomorrow. I just wanted to be sure it wasn’t anything too serious or maybe just a build-up of ear-wax, etc.
A barn cat had kittens either yesterday or early this morning. When we found them, most were nursing, but them are stuck together by their umbilical cords. What should we do?
*they
i’d pack the whole lot up and rush them to the vet ASAP…momma and every kitten should go.
10 years old cat was in heat then suddenly the next day she acts like she wants to vomit but cant and around her vaginia dark mucus.
If touch her above her tail she acts like she wants to vomit.
Why does my dads cat hide in a corner and act all nervous almost? His nose to the floor and just laid there looking at me like something was wrong.
As far as I know. I don’t see the cat everyday. I don’t live with my dad. He was doing it when I was babysitting his girlfriends two boys.
Ok. Thanks. I know Mika has a collapsed lung and rib cage on one side. He’s had that since birth. And he’s a Bengal cat I believe
I know my cat acts somewhat like that when she is nervous. Mainly when there are kids around her or big crowds. She runs under the bed and just stares at stuff. How old are the boys and have they ever been rough with the cat? That could be a cause as well but defiantly go to the vet if this is a new behavior because like Krista said something could be wrong.
I have a 1 yr old indoor only cat who has a broken femur at the ball end. The vet suggested that a femoral head and neck ostectomy (FHO) would be the best thing for him. Any comments?
Put flea tick prevention on cat. Had to wash off because he was irritated with it. His back is twitching. Anything else we can do?
It was for cats. He seems better but lack of appetite. Thank you and we will continue to monitor.
My male 8 yr inside cat was running jumping playing, suddenly he appeared wobbly, pupils huge, and howled. 30 minutes later he appears normal. This episode lasted 3minutes. What do you think happened? Thanks
maybe a stroke? i’d call your vet.
so, my tom has IBD. it was a STRUGGLE to find something that worked with his system – if he’s eating something that doesn’t cooperate with his gut, he has house-clearing BMs and if left to run its course, ends up with a lot of bloody stool.
it may honestly require a food change, and you may have to feed them separately. i’d get him checked for any possible health problems – you never really know when something is just a little off with cats, since they never show it. then i’d look into possible food changes.
what do you feed now?
This is a great example of how every person and animal have unique systems, especially digestive systems. some can be sensitive to one food and not another. The holistic approach is to see the stinky stool as one of the early warning signs of internal imbalance (see more at http://christinachambreau.com/learn-more/free-articles/early-warning-signs-of-ill-health). if any of the following suggestions helps, but you have to continue using them, you need to seek out the help of an integrative veterinarian.
