can’t get my boys to stop fighting

My two cats, have been fighting recently. Like, actual fighting, not just playing with each other. It has gotten to the point where my older cat (8) will hiss at the younger one (5) any time he gets anywhere near him, and I’ve had to break up two big fights in the past week. I don’t really know what could’ve happened between them to make them this angry with each other. They used to be so lovey-dovey with each other, and now I honestly can’t remember the last time they even cuddled with each other. I don’t know what to do about this. I don’t even feel comfortable leaving my older cat inside alone with the little one anymore. I let him outside before i go to work and let him back in when I get home, and he immediately starts growling at his brother. Is there anything I can do to try to mend their relationship with each other? It makes me so sad to see them not loving on each other like they used to.

Cat Sneezing

My girl miku (9f) never had any health issues. She had a dental procedure done on August (cleaning and extraction). She started sneezing alot after she recovered from the surgery. It was continuous at first and then it reduced to sneezing once or twice every few hours or so. It is september now and she is still sneezing. I did take her to the vet after it first started and they said everything looked fine. The only possible thing could have been a flare up of feline HPV (if she has it) or some rhinitis that would go away by itself. Today she was coughing again. From time to time she does these sharp exhales that makes it seem like she is trying to clear her sinuses? Feels like she has some phlegm and congestion. She doesnt have alot of visible nasal or eye discharge and other than that, her behavior has been the same (appetite, energy, litterbox). I'm worried there's something more to this since she only started having these symptoms after her dental procedure. Please let me know if you experienced something similar with your kitties. Thank you!

Threw up immediately following dinner

Added the nsfw tag just because it’s not pleasant to see. Sometimes I’ll find cat throw-up around the house, but this time it was right after she ate so I’m worried. I’ve changed nothing about her feeding routine or the type of food fed to her, just some dry and some wet. I did wipe down her placemat with a Lysol wipe, is it possible she licked that and this is the result? I feel like something had to have triggered it. She’s acting normal as can be right now.

Interpreting Ultra Sound Results!

Sadly we had to put down our beautiful cat of 15 years last week. My condolences to any one who has had to go through the loss of a beloved pet. It’s heartbreaking. I need help interpreting her Ultrasound results. The technician informed us that the tumor was so large it was pressing on her colon and that’s why she could no longer have a bowel movement. He said that the tumor was cancerous and rare and that our cat maybe had about two weeks left to live. The report doesn’t mention the type of Cancer she had or what kind of tumor it was. Would a biopsy have shown this? Thank you in advance for your responses.

Does anyone have recommendations for pet insurance?

I have two ginger male cats (one had a UTI/Blockage about 2 months ago) and I’m afraid the same thing will happen to my other cat. Can someone share some knowledge and experiences with pet insurance? My primary vet only takes “Pumpkin” but I know nothing about that. Help!

Normal after spay?

My kitten was spayed a week ago. Tonight while looking at her I noticed this discoloration that I think might be bruising? I plan to call vet first thing in the morning but does this look normal? My other cat came to me already spayed, so this is the first I’ve gone through the procedure with a kitten, so I’m not sure what’s normal or not!

My cat smells like tuna that was left out for 10 years

My cat Percy recently has been smelling foul and my family can’t find a reason why. We’ve had him 8 years and have had cats since I was born and never had this happen. We have a second cat and dog and they all share a water bowl that we are putting cat/dog mouthwash in that helps the dog and other cat but Percy is getting no use from it. The only thing we can see is a black dot on the inside of his gums. Anything we can do to helps

Do i need to be really worried or is this cat acne?

Just noticed my cat Hambone has pitting, scabs, and fur thinning on one side of his mouth. He has little black spots on his chin which i had thought was just dirt initially but now i see it could be mites or acne. I am going to get him to a vet, but does this seem like an emergency? He is eating fine as far i can tell and seems pretty normal.

Claw injury cause for concern?

Hello all, my cat’s pinky claw look like it has dried blood at the base. It also looks like it’s not growing evenly. Not sure what happened, but it looks painful. He’s indoor only. Is there anything I can do at home, or should I visit a vet? I’m going to monitor his nails more often and clip them more regularly.
