Is this a problem?

This is in the vicinity of her ear. She's an indoor cat, never goes outside. My wife says there's a little blood.

My cat has always been overly clingy and never seems to get enough attention

My cat (male, around 17 months old) had always been super demanding with attention. I could have just; refilled and clean his water dish, refilled his food, cleaned his litter box spotless, pet him and play fetch with him (yes, he plays fetch) for an hour, but the second I go into my room or upstairs he’s meowing and yowling up a storm for easily 30 minutes. He has always been like this since I got him. While I do have a few fairly good ideas of why he behaves in such a way I wanted to get other opinions from cat owners and those experienced with cat behavior. Below I have listed more in depth info relating to him; We adopted him from an animal shelter when he was just a week shy from 2 months old. He was a stray and he and his siblings were found without a mother. He had just recovered from being fixed when we visited the shelter looking for a cat. He has always been a strictly indoor cat. He’s a very sweet and good natured cat. During this summer he had severe seasonal allergies and needed multiple vet visits. He ended up having to take multiple pilled medications along with wearing a cone. He never showed any form of aggression during this entire process and was very well behaved. He can tend to be destructive and sometimes purposely pushes boundaries I have set with him when I don’t go out when he cries for the 100th time that day. (the tear in the armchair isn’t from him. The chair is a hand-me-down from multiple family members, all of which has had MANY cats.) He has a cat tree, multiple toys, two tunnels, and three windows + a glass sliding door he can see out of. I have attempted to leave articles of clothing I wear frequently out in hopes that could help, it doesn’t. He has been well socialized. Now for my suspicions; I believe it’s definitely a form of separation anxiety. However I’m unsure if it’s because of being away from mom too soon, just general anxiety, age, or something different. Advice, other opinions, and pointers to things I can try is very welcome! However, do keep in mind that if you are going to suggest something to buy please make sure it isn’t expensive. (I’m on a low budget.) Thank you!

My boy seems slightly uncoordinated lately

Hello everyone! My wife told me that Mr. Noodle here (approximately 4 years old Siamese) seems to be a little more uncoordinated as of late. Seems like he’s been slipping when jumping on the couch or misstepping while near a ledge, causing him to fall/jump down. He’s done this in the past but she’s worried because it seems like he’s doing it more than usual lately. We also buy pretty litter and it was green the other day (if you don’t know, that means he was stressed out for some reason). I’m wondering if any of you have some insight for me. I would appreciate it!

I need help with eye issue please

This is my outdoor, formerly stray cat. Her eye is goopy. The problem is getting her in a carrier and then her behaving well enough at the vet to examine and treat. Is there anything OTC that could help her? I'll for sure get her to the vet (and bring bandaids) ASAP if it's not something I can do at home. Thank you. Her name is Muffin

Anti Anxiety Meds without vet

As title asks, how can I get my girl some anti anxiety meds without taking her to a vet? I tried that once, and they literally sent her back and said they couldn’t treat her because she freaked out the f out. I’ll be flying with her at the end of the month and I am DREADING it. How can I get a script without taking her in?

Why is my cat licking/bitting her tail

Hey so recently my cat has been licking/biting her tail a lot and her fur started to come off. It looks almost bald now. I took her to the vet already and asked them why and he pretty much said he doesn’t know so that was very unhelpful. I’m going to try and take her to another vet this week but until then I might as well ask here. She also doesn’t have any flees or ticks I tripped checked already and I gave her a bath. Anything would help. Thank you!

Why is my cat pulling out his hair?

My husband and I noticed our cat ripping Tufts of hair out of his side. Then we found a big bald spot. The skin is intact with no redness or flaking. We recently moved his litter box, could it be stress? Or something else?
