Inescapable cat harness.
My little boy is a master at escaping the harnesses I use to bring him outside on a leash. Does anyone have any reccomendations for harnesses that are better for a slick cat like mine?
I dont want to hear crap about him being outside, i will not rob him of his instincts. The cat and the yard are both treated for fleas and ticks.
Are my cats ok in hot weather?
I have 2 indoor cats both around 1 year old and about 2 days ago the ac stopped working (should be getting fixed soon, I live with my parents and my dad had some guy look at it yesterday). I live in Texas where it’s been almost 100 degrees everyday outside so my house is verryyy hot right now. My cats seem to be behaving normally but not as playful and I worry the heat could be making them feel uncomfortable or even hurt their health. I was wondering if there’s anything I can do to help them cool off? I’ve been giving them a lot of fresh cool water, having to refill their small bowl multiple times a day. Thanks for any help â˜ºï¸ (picture is them pre-broken ac lol)
Cat puke help
Hey there folks I have a cat named spooky who has been throwing up since she was a kitten - not anything alarming she seems to just eat too much for the first meal of the day then throws up. My big question is does anyone have any experience with these kinds of issues? I have tried different foods , puzzle feeders , feeding schedules , feeder elevations and nothing seems to help. I don’t think it’s causing her any pain or anything but I’d just like to prevent her from puking if possible
swollen and red skin around claw
I noticed this morning the skin around one of my cats claws was extremely red and swollen. I attempted to dampen it with a warm washcloth and try to get some of the dirt/litter debris stuck in there but he seemed to be in too much pain for me to continue.
He is walking on it fine and it doesn’t seem to be bothering him too much, he licks at it every so often but nothing more than that. All of his other claws are fine.
Could this be an infection or just irritation? He’s 3, an indoor cat and perfectly healthy otherwise. I’m not sure if this is something I should schedule a vet visit for or not. I’ve had cats my whole life but have never had any health issues regarding their claws. Any advice is appreciated! I don’t want to see him in any kind of pain but I’m not sure if it just needs to run it’s course like an irritated finger cuticle.
Industrial Building Windows
Hello! I live on the 8th floor of an old industrial building with screenlesss windows that open outward AND inward. Recently one of my little 5 month old kittens has become even more brave and curious and jumped onto the edge of the frame. I’m absolutely terrified she will get up there and fall. If it were up to me I’d just never open the windows again but I do live with a roommate who needs fresh air. Posting here in hopes that someone may have an idea that could help secure these windows. If anything happened to my sweet kitten I’d never forgive myself.
I looked into flat cats screens but because the window opens both inward and outward I’m afraid that won’t work. Is there anything I can do to secure them or keep her from getting up there?
Any and all suggestions appreciated.
