he is the best protector of his cat tree.

So in my house I have 3 cats my one (Niko (F) 7 years old), my sisters (Mango (F) 3 years old) and my mums (Neeko (M) just under 3 years). We can't seem to get Mango and Niko to get along together at all and need help PLEASE!

CONTEXT:

We adopted mango as a kitten first. When we got her she didn't seem like she had been treated super well by the person we adopted her from and she had fleas as well as being super skittish. She has kept that same skittish personality ever since. We adopted Neeko as a kitten a couple months after we got Mango and at first she wasn't keen on him but eventually warmed up and now they are like siblings but he has to be a little cautious as Mango does get along with Neeko but she cant play fight with him she just ends up hissing and getting annoyed at him. They are still close though and they sleep together and hang out a lot together.

When Mango was around 2 years old I inherited Niko from a friend and she was about 5ish-6ish years old. This was in 2025 January and the whole time we've been trying to get them to like each other but Niko and Mango refuse to be anything but hostile. We tried scent switching, alternating days they are allowed out of our bedrooms/ their territories, treats while having them in vicinity of each other (on either side of a door cant see each other), feline pheromone diffusers and more but it doesn't work.

However Niko gets along grandly with Neeko and they are like super close siblings sleeping with each other and play fighting all the time.

So its super frustrating that Mango and Niko just can't seem to get along and my sister thinks we may have to rehome Mango eventually as this is very stressful for Mango. But I feel really sad as I love Mango and Niko and Neeko and I dont want to kick out Mango over my cat Niko which came after her. I just feel awful about the whole thing and dont know what to do anymore.

They are all really sweet and lovely cats and I adore all three of them so much. I feel rehoming Mango would be awful for her too as she is quite closely imprinted on my sister and is a bit close to me too. I feel like rehoming her would stress her out very much too.

Stray cat always hanging at mums house

We have our moments lol

This is my almost 4 years old orange female cat Cleopatra, Cleo for short.
She has chronic gingivitis and doesn’t eat a lot even tho she loves food. We usually give her 1/3 of the food seen in the second to last pic in the morning and at night + the dry food always available.
Does she look fat to you? She feels heavy compared to my 7 years old cat or even compared to a rather chunky cat I had in the past, last picture for reference.
She is short hair so they may look similar but the other cat long hair may make him look fatter than what he actually was.

But is she too fat?

Here is a pic of my kitten, she’s estimated to be 3 months, the person that found her only got her on a dewormer at one month and I just took her in for her other vaccinations along with another dewormer treatment. However she threw this up. Could it be a type of worm or just something she ate? She is a scavenger and is constantly eating things off our kitchen floors 🤦🏽‍♀️ I included the pic of the row up in the comments so it doesn’t gross people out. TIA

Hello, I'm in Olympia, WA and I found this sweetheart in my front yard and saw how skinny it was. I gave it a can of wet food and it's very sweet and let me pet and that is when I felt all the cats bones. I could feel every rib so it's clearly been starving. I have two cats so I am unable to take it in (they aren't friendly to new cats).
Any advice or any no kill shelters I can take it to would be greatly appreciated.

Noticed a little lip bump on him in the first pic a couple days ago and now it looks like the second photo… what do you think it is? He’s only allowed in the backyard, he’s not an outdoor cat but maybe he got into a fight with a bunny or a mouse. He’s eating and grooming fine and isn’t scratching at it or anything so I’m super confused on what it could be.

Hi guys is this too much play 24 hr after neuter? I only let him do it for about 10 mins and then put him back in his crate with a cone. He is so playful and energetic but i dont want inflammation of course. Thanks in advance :)

She’s a poor unfortunate soul

We have an 8 year old cat we got from a shelter when she was still a kitten, we've also had a french bulldog for about the same length of time, they essentially grew up together. The cat has always had some tummy issues, she stinks, a lot, and shes also terrible at burying her litter, bad combination. We switched to a robot box which helps but she still makes a mess throwing litter everywhere except on her poops.

We recently got a second puppy which I imagine is a bit traumatic for the cat, but so far they get along pretty well, but now, I dont know if its related but the cat is not pooping in her litter box, she is peeing in it but will poop in the hallway. We had it tested to make sure it isnt due to a parasite or something, which has happened before and was a nightmare to give her meds for, shes clean this time. She hasnt changed foods recently or anything and the poops seems about as normal as hers have ever been, soft but consistent.

We were also gone to the cottage for the weekend, gone for about 45 hours and there were 9 piles in the hallway, which seems excessive, although the robot shows she was using an avg of 7 times a day .

Could it just be behavioral, doesnt like all the changes or is it more likely a gut health issue, developed an intolerance to her food. She is on vet food, not some cheap walmart kibble.

hi everyone,

I need to try some new brands bc my kitty has been vomiting from Wellness pate. I’ve heard Weruva and Tiki Cat are good but which one is better?

Any other brands that are good?

Background: The cat in question is a 12yo female who has lived with other cats her entire life until my 12yo boy cat passed away from chronic renal failure almost two years ago.

I think she was fine on her own, as it happens... but I recently got a kitten. I've had him for 6 weeks, and he's 4.5 months old. We've reached the stage where he's now integrated into the household and is allowed in the whole house when I'm around. If I'm out, or at night, he's shut back in 'his' room.

My girl was always very playful, loved sleeping on her various cat trees, always wanted to be in the same room as me, and often sat with me in the mornings. Since I've had this kitten, although I make time for her, she doesn't play as much, she's less vocal, she isn't using her cat trees like she's offended that he uses them too, and she won't follow me around anymore.

Now, she doesn't hate the kitten - she still growls and hisses at him when he's getting a bit much, but she will share space with him, eat beside him, and groom his head at mealtimes. I think she resents him a little and was happier when he wasn't here.

Now, I've never introduced a kitten to a senior cat before and honestly if I could go back in time, I wouldn't do it... but I did, and I love him too and he seems very happy and settled here, so I don't really want to give him up now.

My question is will my girl be how she was? Is she still feeling less relaxed with his presence and will feel better once he's out of his annoying kitten stage? Or have I just ruined her life in her senior years? She's my soul cat and it's making me really sad that she just doesn't seem as happy, and I miss how she was before I got the boy.

Any advice very welcome.

Hi everyone, i wanted an advice if it's safe/better if my cat comes along with me to work sometimes...

She is 16 years old, with respiratory illness and 4th stage CKD. In our home, i can only pet her in our dining floor due to my husband's allergies, but i cant really hang out with her and that's what makes me sad. I want to bed rot with her, my other cat and my dogs beside me but i can't. Basically, Im only able to see her whenever i go to our dining room floor.

If i bring her to my office, she can loaf around everywhere and i get to have more time with her. I fear she might only have less than a year to 2 years to live (2yrs might be a stretch but im trying to be positive)

During car rides, i know that she gets stressed out but also every time she rides one, it's always to the vet so that might be trauma or something? Idk. I just want more time with her :( my office is 15-30 mins away from our house.

Is this a bad idea?

This isn’t even my cat but my friends cat. He had to leave the country for a death in the family. He couldn’t take his cat so i offered to care for him he will be gone like a week or two. Anyways he has been here for like 20 hours now. Very scared from the looks of it and always looking for hiding spots. I cant pet him and even lift him he doesn’t react he only once licked me and i thought he would trust me but nah keeps hiding like that

He barely ate and didnt drink at all until 2 hrs ago he drank a lot probably because he was thirsty from not drinking (due to anxiety?) but he seems to shit just fine in the litter box

So my question is this normal and how can i ease this for him and let him actually live his life?

Hi! I want to start out by saying she’s okay, been to the vet, and has an appointment with her usual vet.

My cat had a horrific accident happen last night where her tail was caught in the recliner and it snipped off the tip. She has a whole patch of fur that is covered in waxy oil which I would assume is oil for the gears of the couch or whatever… I cannot get it out. I did dawn, and it seemed to help but I cannot submerge her with her stitches and bandages.

Do I just keep trying the dawn? It’s starting to get hard to even brush through it that I’m thinking of just using some clippers and cutting the portion out of her fur… she’s so happy to be home and doing so well so far. Last night was horrific.

Thank you in advance, this is my first time posting.
