I live with an incontinent cat named Tiger Lily. She is a wonderfully sweet girl, although sometimes her 'accidents' can be frustrating. This is a helpful article about living with feline incontinence.

Last night I dreamed that Lucky was peeing in my shoes. In the haze of a dream, I was inexplicably lying on the floor beside the shoes. I awakened to find If your cat is incontinent--whether as a permanent problem or a temporary condition after surgery--we've got tips for dealing with cat urine base...

When I first started fostering Nacho, his person had unfortunately passed away a couple of months beforehand. Nacho was just over 25 lbs. Over several months he now weighs around 17 lbs!

Cats who are provided with dry food on which to free feed who also have nothing to do can tend to overeat because they are bored. During the time period Nacho didn't have regularity and enrichment in his life, obviously he spent more time eating. He also loves dry food...

By limiting Nacho's access to dry food through small feedings and by providing more canned food, we were able to decrease his weight very successfully. Care had to be taken so he didn't lose weight too fast (he did not immediately take to eating canned food so it was a gradual process anyway).

I also found that he is very playful and his favorite toy is an empty toilet paper roll! So happy that we were able to give him a new and healthy chance at life!

First post in quite awhile, I'm getting this page back active again and ready to share feline behavior and health information!

April is Pet First Aid Awareness Month. Emergencies happen when you least expect them, so it’s a good idea to have a first aid kit on hand. If your cat has been injured or is experiencing a medical emergency, call your veterinarian before attempting any first aid. Always speak with your veterinarian before starting any therapies at home.

When you go to the veterinarian’s office, never put the carrier on the floor. Cats like being high up and feeling more secure. Place the carrier on a bench, chair, table, or even on your lap will help to reduce stress during the visit. Learn more tips like this at https://bit.ly/3ry6tWP.

Older article but still good advice...

Laser toys can be harmful to cats and should be used with caution, if at all.
