Cat peeing on blanket

My friend passed away a few months ago and I adopted her cat. So in the last six months, the kitty had her “mama” go into the hospital and pass away, moved into two relative’s homes (three in six months), I flew her across county, got her dental surgery, and she’s not getting along with my other three cats I acknowledge she has been through a lot. We’re a family of five (kids are teens and great with animals) plus two sweet dogs, and four sassy cats. Personality wise, she seems happy and relaxed - sleeps on us, finally comfy with our dogs, shows us her belly and purrs. She’s been with us for 7 weeks. She does not get along with the cats and there is daily hissing. But a few times now she has peed on one bathroom rug (which has long threads, like a shag). I started keeping that door closed and twice now she has peed on a blanket - once of the dog’s and once on a couch blanket. We have four cats and three litter boxes upstairs which I clean daily- sometimes skip a day but never more. Ideas?

Foster kitten food name

We started fostering kittens from shelter. and they gave us some dry food for them but we are almost out of it. Can you guys tell which brand and food this is? I don’t wanna switch too quickly since it might cause stomach troubles.

Wanted to switch my cats to either of these litters, does anyone use them or similar and can recommend, or should I stick with normal non clumping?

I use non clumping because I find clumping sticks to my cats paws. I don't scoop the litter box, I dump and wash it once a week. One of my cats has a history of pneumonia and still wheeze sometimes but the vet says it's not asthma, but I thought something more dust free would be better for them. These are the two non clay litters available at my local Walmart. I'm not a fan of scented stuff but I'm not sure if the pine is better for actual use.

Does anyone know what this is?

I just noticed this only on her back legs not sure if it might be litter?

Cat is biting

I have a 3 year old healthy tortie who has a biting problem. I don’t feel it’s malicious in intent, she’s not a mean cat. It feels more like an attention thing but I’m not sure. Also, she’s always done this but it’s gotten excessive the older she’s gotten. As a kitten she didn’t do it often at all. Half the time it’s soft bites but she can also bite really hard too. Some examples: She will want to be on my lap, and if I’m not petting her she will bite. But she also bites if I am petting her. And I don’t let her aggressively, I’m always gentle with her. When I’m sitting on my bed watching tv at night she wants to be on my lap but if I don’t want her on me right then (say if I’m eating a snack) she will circle around me and bite the back of my arms. If I movie quickly because I know a bite is coming she will chase me and Vite harder. I don’t know what to do to make her stop. She doesn’t seem to have a motive (happens when I’m not letting her and when I am). And it’s getting to the point where I don’t want her to lay on me. Does anyone have any insight? Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Photo attached for the Cat Tax.

Found this cute guy

Found these two in garage, heard coyote yelping outside, already have a kitten thats a few weeks older so I'm set on food, water and litter, what else should I be doing? They're very friendly but I assume only because of a mix of free food and fear

My cat won’t stop meowing at me

Hello I posted about a kitten I adopted a few days ago, slight inconvenience, he really really likes meowing at me at night mostly, I’m pretty sure it’s because he misses his mom because he keeps searching around my neck and hair trying to find something to latch to. I don’t know if they gave him to me too early or if he just needs comfort but I don’t know how to help him in this situation. He eats regularly and he seems to be healthy but I feel really bad that he might miss his mom. Is there anything I can do to help him?

Update on Kit Kat / Grimlin

She’s calmed down a lot. She lets me pet her, holding her is a different story. She’ll gladly come up to you if your chillin in your bed.still runs from you, but has enough confrontation that she isn’t known as the menace of the house anymore. And for the past few weeks I haven’t seen any bite marks on blinds or scratched curtains ☺️

Kittens Caught a cold

So my cat gave birth about 5 weeks ago and some days, theyre pretty big now havent had any issues with them, ive had multiple phone calls with my vet since i dont want to seperate them from the mom for too long, but recently 2 of my cats have gotten a cold (runny nose, sneezing etc) which is pretty common im not too worried about it as they’re recovering normally. However the kittens have gotten the cold (2 of them, the other two are healthy) and one of the kittens eye is super swollen, tearing up and looks irritated, and the other kitten his eyes are both swollen, theyre both sneezing and have a stuffy nose. Ive been rinsing out their eyes and washing their face with a warm rag 3-4 times a day. Its been about 3-4 days now its kinda getting better but should i be worried? my vet says it may last up to 10 days and to watch out for an infection, if it is i want to treat is as soon as possible. Is there any way i could know early?

He's a 10, but pees on my bed.

Hey all! This is Winston. He's a heckin' good boy. He's 2 years old and fixed. He is as healthy as can be, we bring him to the vet once every 6th months which was just last week. I know, a bit excessive, but both his mother and I are hypochondriacs so that kind of got extended to this lil guy. Anyways! This boy, for whatever reason, will pee in our bed sometimes. We don't know why, and are desperate find a solution. Initially when he first did this, we thought it was a result of him not liking his current litter box situation. However, after many instances of him peeing on our pillows and favorite blankets (pillows get thrown out, blankets get washed), we've realized that he's done this when his litterbox is freshly cleaned, mid use, or even "dirty". I use dirty in parenthesis because we never let it get that bad. We've been using the same litter, same cat box, and same location for 2 years. He still uses the litterbox on the daily, it's just every once in a while (about once a month) he is compelled to sneak into our room, pee on our bedding, then growl and zoom out of the room with a feeling of accomplishment. Any easy solution would be to leave our bedroom door shut. However, our apartment is very small since we live in the northeast and rent is absurd for anything other than a 1 bedroom, so we like to leave that open for him so he can wander around that section of our apartment along with our closet which he really likes. It's worth mentioning that he doesn't pee anywhere else in the apartment. Just his litter box, and our bed, we have plenty of other furniture that he could also pee on but he doesn't. Any ideas are welcomed and if you have any questions that weren't answered above that you think might help, feel free to ask. Thank you!
