Most of the things you described: tail tight around her, arched walk, bald patch, and hiding can all signify stress or hypertension. First off, are you sure that the patch was from your wife and that the cat didn't do it? Cats do create bald patches when something is wrong. More often its a skin condition but once my cat did it purely on emotion(cats outside yowling and he wanted to  them). Did the vet do any tests or was it just a look-over type of visit? Any major changes around the house? Note that sometimes moving a bed is a big loving deal to a cat.Other than that, If everything is okay, let your cat dictate when to play and when to be petted. Sounds like she was under a lot of stress and wanted to just relax and not be bothered for a bit. Yeah, its hard for us, but if everything is healthy then what she may want/need is space. e: Stress/tension I meant. Alpha Kenny Juan fucked around with this message at 15:09 on Feb 5, 2013 |

No way my wife went down to the skin, and she had balded up a bit of her tail and one of her hind legs before we could collect her from the shelter. And no, the vet didn't do any tests, just checked the stomach, back and abdomen and we realised she was behaving normally again.

I just took over care of an older cat (age unknown, suspected 11-13) who has major overgrooming issues. He licks and scratches until he bleeds then starts on another spot. Several trips to the vet for a steroid shot, deworming, antibiotic, blood work (everything came back normal), and flea medicine have had basically had no effect. He's on Solid Gold Indigo Moon and is part of a 2 cat household with another cat he gets along fine with (they're cuddling now but his grooming is clearly annoying his cat friend). What should I try next? I was thinking of changing his food to the wellness and getting rid of my rug/cloth chair in case there's some dust mites... but beyond that, I'm at a total loss. The vet doesn't seem to know what to do either and I've already dropped more than I can afford on the situation. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated, I just want him to have good quality of life! edit: I should say he's an appropriate weight, has a good appetite, is very friendly, and loves to play/be active. The overgrooming has apparently been going on for years but its severity comes and goes. MixMasterMalaria fucked around with this message at 19:06 on Feb 5, 2013 |

A non-hemolytic cat over multiple transfusions may start to develop antibodies to the transfused RBC's, and I'd think that in a cat that possibly already has some level of RBC destruction, this effect may be more pronounced. Another issue is taking the PCV so soon after the transfusion - I wouldn't personally rely so much on that, would maybe wait a couple of hours. You're putting the cat in a pretty odd physiological state, and the cat's body might need a bit of time to sort out what to do with this influx of RBC's and may decide to hide some away in the spleen for lack of a better phrase, to keep its current homeostatic mechanisms intact...

Thanks for the info. We're getting his blood checked again here shortly, and again this weekend. He's got more energy now then he did before the second transfusion, and MUCH more color back in his ears, paws and mouth. Hopefully if it keeps dropping, its slow enough we can end the decline before he gets down to single digits again. Or more hopefully, it will stay stable/go up with the steroids and antibiotics. Or that both of them aren't in the advanced stage yet, and he's just taking it rough right now. Edit: He's now up to 17 about 15 hours after the transfusion Slickdrac fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Feb 5, 2013 |

Oh jeez Slickdrac, I'm sorry to hear that your boy has had such a rough go of it. I hope he stabilizes soon.  We went to the shelter this morning to finally bring a cat home. The tabby that I loved was apparently adopted on Saturday. I'm glad he has a new home even if I didn't get to have him. Instead, we ended up leaving with this guy.  We're calling him Gollum because he gurgles when he purrs. He's already very comfortable in our apartment -- he isn't skittish at all and has been very affectionate and calm this whole time. He's a total cuddle-whore. He was already declawed when he was brought to the shelter. Even though it sucks that whoever owned him before had him declawed, it is sort of a relief not to have to worry about him tearing up the sofa now. He's neutered and microchipped as well, and we're taking him to the vet for a checkup later this week. And the best part is that I haven't started sneezing at all yet.

My issue: One of my cats has found a new way of giving me panic attacks, in which he jumps onto and then paces back and forth on the stairwell banister that is on the top landing overlooking the foyer and is about...oh, 25 feet or more above the wooden floor. I'm roughly estimating, but it's pretty high. This JUST started a week ago, and I have no idea why, other than to drive me crazy. He's really skittish about sudden movements, so trying to pick him up off the railing is impossible. Is there anything I can do about this, other than hoping he just gets bored with it before something bad happens? I don't have much faith in the saying that cats have perfect balance and land on their feet because my mom's old cat once fell off the railing of her loft studio of about a similar height, landed badly, and had a bad back and slight limp for the rest of her life. And that was from falling onto a carpet, so I'm pretty agitated about this.

One of my other cats (presumably) hit Snorch in the face when I wasn't home, and his inner eyelid is torn. There's a little bit hanging off like a hangnail. He seems totally fine, his eye moves, pupil reacts. The inner eyelid is very slightly reddened along the wound, and he had some small reddish crusties on his face. I gave him some leftover erythromycin ointment. Do I need to take him to the e-vet? Or the regular vet? Or should I keep an eye on him, see if it gets worse, and keep applying ointment for 7 days?

It can be hard to see if the cornea is scratched without stain and that very much affects the treatment. The sooner the better for getting them in for eye issues because things that seem minor can go south quickly. Best case scenario, you're out a few bucks but have peace of mind.

update on Mirabelle the scaredy-cat:  She was out in the apartment when we came home last night (she knows the sound of the keys, obviously) and only went back under the bed when we both came in. Then she was on top of the bed for most of the evening unless we came in the bedroom. We went to the pet pharmacy in town and picked up some herbal "resuce" drops (helianthemum nummularium, clematis vitalba, impatiens glandulifera, prunus cerasifera, ornithogalum umbellatum) and some dried fish treats. We gave her a couple treats under the bed and decided to wait on the drops since she had come out a little and also we were going to bed. This morning, she was almost back to her old self! Chasing and playing with her toys, but still running away when my wife came around. She put a couple of drops on a fish treat and gave it to her and now a couple hours later Mirabelle is still playing and even crawling into my lap. Yay! ed: they were also giving away samples of ZiwiPeak cat food, this stuff looks really good! greazeball fucked around with this message at 09:56 on Feb 6, 2013 |

This morning around 4 am I heard my cat, Oreo, vomiting a couple of times. When I got up at 6 I discovered there was also little spots of diarrhea everywhere as well. For the next hour he kept changing locations, leaving spots of poop and occasionally vomiting and making grumbling noises. I also discovered that at some point before I got up he had peed on a pillow that was on the ground. About a half hour ago he left a bunch of solid poop behind and since then has pretty much calmed down and is just lying down in the hallway. More specific info: - Age 14 - Sex male - How long have you had your cat? 7 years - Is your cat spayed or neutered? yes - What food do you use? 1st Choice dry food for older cats and normally holistic select wet food BUT I picked up Wellness instead 2 days ago - When was your last vet visit? 2 years ago - Is your cat indoors, outdoors, both? indoor - How many pets in your household? 1 other cat (who I will mention was throwing up yesterday) - How many litter boxes do you have? 2 Could this just be a reaction to the Wellness since he isn't used to it? Should I take his resting now as a good sign? I intend to call the vet when they open but I am freaking out a little.

It could be it hurts to poop so he's moving to a more comfortable place to pee/poo.

Since getting the solid stuff out he seems to be feeling a lot better and nothing more has really happened; he went to the litter box once and went a bit, and he grumbled when I spoke to him so I am just leaving him alone. he looks exhausted but is just sitting quietly. As for the peeing on the pillow, peeing outside the litter box is what he does to let everyone know he isn't feeling well, so I think that was likely his signaling me rather than an addition problem. I am still going to call the vet though.

I have a 1 1/2 year old female all black cat that used to be feral, but was tamed as a kitten. While she's sweet, and loves to sleep on our lap, she's been having an issue of chewing up a ton of stuff. It's been really bad lately. She's always had a knack for chewing on cardboard boxes, but now she's jumped up on our counter, and chewed our betta fish food package (twice!), tore up our paper towels, and now she's gotten a hold of my girlfriend's headphones, and tore up the cord. She's also had a habit of tearing up the corners of our carpet. My girlfriend is fed up with our stuff getting destroyed and wants to get rid of her (though it was her idea to get her, of course). I still really like the cat aside from her destructive behavior. We give her lots of toys, and got her a cat climber. Is there anything we can possibly do to curb this destructive behavior? Edit: we tried feliway, no success. We also cap her claws, but she ends up tearing them out. She always seems hungry, too, so we got one of the food bowls that make a cat reach to get the food first. seiferguy fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Feb 6, 2013 |

Get her some toys and things to chew on. This is a pretty normal phase for a young cat. You may have to go through a few options to find something she'll prefer over the rest of the house. vvv-catnip filled ones are great, if they react to catnip. If not, things that dangle from doors have always been my go to. Although more often than not, they prefer to chew through the string rather than the thing on the string.

Bonus points if it's big enough she can rabbit kick the hell out of it.

I'll see if I can find something she can sink her teeth into (with catnip). Maybe I can find something to get her to stop jumping on the counters as well. I'm just worried that she's consistently hungry and always crying for food unless she has some at easy, yet she's getting pretty heavy as it is already. When she has food she's pretty content.

Nah, some cats just want to eat ALL the food. As to the counter issue, cover your counters with painters tape, sticky side up. Its sticky enough to really bug the cat, but won't cause any harm. Its worked on both of my cats heh. If she is ex-feral, that could explain the food obsession. After 3 years with me, being fed a good healthy diet, my dog is somewhat less of a food obsessed freak. She'll still eat everything she can, but she's much less whiney about it between meal times.

Ozma was the same way. She was used to a high-volume low-quality diet and a belly full of parasites. Being de-wormed and given better food meant less quantity so she thought she was dying. It's been almost half a year, but she's chilled out about food and is a regular grazer. Which would be perfect, if Pete wasn't a food vaccuum who ate her food before she finished...

On the topic of food (allergies really) does anyone have experience on how long it usually takes for an itchy cat to get less irritated skin after switching to a food that they should be able to handle better? Need to know just how long to wait before realizing it's not working and try some other brand and/or protein...

For food allergies, minimum of 8 weeks on the new food before calling it a failure. Some say more like 12, but definitely at least 8. One of the hardest things about diagnosing food allergies is that people tend to switch diets too quickly, leaving you not really knowing what might have worked, given enough time.

Eggplant Wizard posted:Normal, cats are bastards. AAFCO requires different minimum nutrient requirements for growth, for pregnancy and lactation, and for maintenance. These are minimum levels, so if a food has more than enough of everything, it can be labeled "for all life stages." Pregnancy and lactation is the toughest set of requirements, followed by growth, and then maintenance. It is true that anything beyond maintenance (ie, regular healthy adult) does need significantly more calories, but there are other factors like minerals and certain vitamins that also need to be increased and may need to be available in a higher ratio. I myself do not know all of these requirements exactly, so I go with a "growth" or "all life stages" AAFCO claim for kittens and puppies.

Hi PI, I looked through the thread for my particular issue and didn’t find anything, so my apologies if it’s already been covered. I have a consistent problem with my roommate’s cat, who I have been living with since we moved in together in October. I’m going to apologize in advance for a long post… Cat history: The cat is female and approximately seven years old, spayed and declawed. My roommate got the cat when she was working double shifts, so it wasn’t socialized well because she’d come home from work, sleep, and leave again. Nowadays she’s mommy’s little girl but her friends all told me that the cat is a bitch, and she even has relatives that have refused to go into her apartment because of this cat. So the cat is difficult to get along with, but this is why I think she hates me: Two weeks before our lease officially started, my roommate went on vacation. During that time, I had movers that moved both mine and her furniture out of our old singles, and into the new double. I then came back on a daily basis to pick up more boxes from her place while also feeding the cat. I’m positive the cat associates me with bad things (e.g. moving, even though the cat has moved a couple times before). Starting out, this cat used to hiss and growl any time I walked into the room. I’ve never been able to touch her without getting bit (though it’s an obvious mistake to even try). This “improved” to where she’d instead hide under tables, and come out yowling, swiping, and biting when I walked past. Nowadays her behavior has calmed down enough where she will sit in hallways and will let me walk past 50% of the time, and other times decide she wants to attack instead. Still does the table thing though. On the somewhat plus side, when her friends come over now they say the cat’s behavior towards them has improved. And the cat has never acted out this much against them in the past – seems like I managed to amass all of the kitty hate. Strategies we have discussed or tried… Stamping my feet/yelling when she attacks: Thought it was working but soon realized it made her even more batshit scared of me. Ignoring her: loving does not work. This is how I got bitten so hard that she made me bleed THROUGH MY JEANS when all I did was walk past her in the hallway. Locking the cat up: when my roommate is over at her boyfriend’s I sometimes lock the cat in her bedroom for a couple hours for some peace and quiet. I guess it can’t hurt… Letting me feed her: Sort of worked, but this normally occurred when my roommate would leave for a couple days and I’d be the only one around. I think the cat actually acted out more without her owner around, regardless of me feeding her. Catnip: The cat would let me start using the cat toy and was becoming more open, but then my roommate said it was making the cat throw up and took the catnip away. Cat toy (currently using): She plays a bit with Da Bird mouse toy. She normally stops playing/runs away once she notices I’m the one holding it though. Feliway (currently using): Limited success. Behavior is somewhat improved. Soothing collar (currently using): Limited success. Behavior is somewhat improved. Greenies cat treats (currently using): Seems to like them, and I can at least use them now to lure her out of the way. Anti-anxiety medication: This was suggested by my animal behavioralist friend (who suggested some of the other things above). Roommate flat-out refuses to med her cat. Going into this living arrangement I was prepared to let the cat acclimate, but it’s been four months. Is it really supposed to take this long? It’s becoming an old and tiring argument with my roommate (where we don’t fight on anything else) because I guess she feels like she’s doing enough getting the collar and Feliway. Also, she is quite a bit older than me so it’s hard for me to argue things with her on a peer-to-peer basis. Regardless, it’s really frustrating to go to the bathroom at night and find the cat in there, or be going about my business during the day with her sitting in the hallway, because then I have to risk a confrontation or wait for her to move. TL;DR my roommate’s cat is scared of and continues to attack me after four months of living together and multiple attempts to acclimate it. Need more advice before I snap.

Eggplant Wizard posted:Chaco I sort of thought the whole kitten food thing was mostly a marketing gimmick? I know kittens tend to need more food so they can grow up big and strong, but besides having more calories, is there any difference between a kitten food and an adult food? Excluding special diet foods, of course. You might be thinking of the "mature pet" type of formulas sold by commercial pet food companies.
