      When we adopted our Dusty, she had come from a horrible situation.
      It took months for her to come around.
      Then one day - boom. She became the best lap cat ever!

    We just took in a cat after being outside our house for a year and looking completely miserable. We have 2 other cats so we place the stray into our room and slowly introduce them. Whenever we leave the room he would pee everywhere on our bed which I think is because he's stressed from being alone. Thank you for the video.

    Thank you for this, all the signs you mentioned are what my cat suffers with. I thought she was unwell because she keeps being sick. But so many others signs point to stress, like when I try to encourage her to play she's not interested, or stops to incessantly lick herself. I will definitely take your advice on how to reduce it.

      Plse have your cat checked for kidney disease by asking the vet to do blood tests including biochemistry and haematology. My 14 yo rescue cat (who I had for only 18 months) was diagnosed too late by the vet by misinterpreting all the symptoms of kidney disease. The IV treatment she received was too late and too aggressive and she passed away last month.

    My 1 year old Rudy is anti social with people but not with me and husband. He’s been biting me and draws blood and my both arms are scarred up. He cry’s to go outside we take him out on a leash and when he sees anyone he freezes and will not move. He will attack someone if they get to close on him. He has toys and cat condo . He’s been going to the Vet. He’s been neutered . The Vet put him on Prozac to calm him down and I don’t see a difference. He doesn’t sleep very much and when he lays down he has to have his head propped up never lays his head down. Also we take him riding in our truck and he enjoys it. I got him about 6 weeks old I was told later the girl that had him abused him.

    My cat Pickle is 5 months old and has started going outside recently. This evening she got into a fight outdoors and when she came back we smelled foul and I had to give her a bath it was so bad. Then she started soiling and vomiting around the house. As in the video, her eyes are HUGE and we couldn’t jump up to her chair so we had to put her on it. When we tried putting her in the kitchen where she sleeps she hissed so we just carried the big old chair into the kitchen! No idea what to do now though! Poor thing

      Have you tried training her with hand signals? It might make her feel more secure if you invent three distinct hand signals (introduce them one at a time, and don't move on to another until she is sure of the first one). Remember to begin training sessions with love blinks, and use strict consistency, affection and plenty of positive reinforcement. You might use the first signal as a message to her that it is time for breakfast. My cat hears very well, but likes hand signals because communication helps her feel more bonded (she began life outdoors).

    My Mom and I adopted our kitty over a year and a half ago. He was doing so good, but we recently moved and he seems extremely stressed. My bedroom and bathroom is his place too, but when we go out into the different part of our place he wants to hide under my Mom's bed. We want to give him time, but he can't hide all the time. He is still eating, drinking, using the bathroom, sleeps with me and in his bed, but he seems skittish again, not want to really play, etc.

    One of my cats has been hiding in our dark crawlspace and she used to come out when i called her but now She won't even come out or let me pet her. I still keep a distance from her so she understands that I'm not trying to force her to come out and I also just talk to her and try to leave a bowl of water and some food in front of the crawlspace but she hasn't eaten the food i gave her yesterday or come out to the litter box...I don't know if She's just scared of the washer and dryer or if I upset her but my other two cats tend to not pay attention to her and she doesn't even go upstairs anymore. I feel like i may have either scared her or stressed her out to the point where she doesn't even want to leave the crawlspace

He rarely had it but just getting one now maybe because he missed the other female cat that still in "quarantine" because she's on the heat. Will neuter her maybe in June or July so I had to lock her from other male cats. Still feel bad about it. Idk what else to do now.

    You look smart my cat is a female cat, her sister had kittens. The problem is my cat think shes the mother of the kittens and she grooms the kittens. But she didn't let her sister (the mother of the kittens) give them milk. she gets angry when we try to remove her or touch the kittens, what I've done is continuously remove her and lock her in the other room for hours. and today she is not energetic and have symptoms of a stressed cat.(Its impossible that she had a previous condition or ate something toxic it's IMPOSSIBLE)I'm afraid i have STRESSED my cat because she doesn't want to interact or eat and TRYS to vomit out something( Gags everytime i touch her throat, she doesn'thave diarrhea either). She growls when i touch her/pick you up, as if she was angry and purrs(does a werid noise) when i barley touch her. What is wrong with my cat? Will she die? Can i do anything that will bring her back? What do i do? If my comment must be removed then without hesitation please remove it

She goes into these stats where she’ll lay her forehead down on the ground. She won’t pay attention to any toys or lasers and even seeing me come nearby to refill her food scares her so much. I don’t know what to do I know I can’t touch her because she attacks when I even try and poor food for her. What can I do? It’s been 6 weeks

      @thomasprice9256 5 лет назад

      Erna Kramer Stay away from her when she’s distressed. If you need to replenish her food during an episode like this, put the food somewhere she can see or hear you placing it, so she can get it when she chooses to. You coming near is making the stress and fear worse, so leave her alone and let her get comfortable with you without forcing yourself into her life and space.

      If you are able to take care of another kitty, it is nice to get a playmate for an only cat. A lot of people don't realize that cats need the companionship and interaction with their own species to be happy (not all, but most). So if your cat had another cat to play with while people are away from the house, this would help with her loneliness.

    We got a lab like 6 months ago and recently since like 2 months ago he got all patchy and he stopped moving fluently. Like he would move and then stop and if he was in your way you would have to nudge him along. But every time he would jump onto the ground the dumbass dog would launch herself at him. And the argument my dad makes is that it’s only recently that the cat has had these problems but we’ve had the dog for a while. But don’t you think that after 4 months of constantly being intimidated by a giant every time you want to do anything would pay its price? Plus neither of my parents care for my cat. I don’t much care for the dog. So I don’t think that they would care to invest in a cat tree for him. Plus he’s an old man so he might only have a couple more years anyway. And he always tries to get in my room. But I don’t want him in there, cuz I don’t. Especially when I’m sleeping because he tries to sleep on top of me and I move a lot and he wakes me up a lot so no. I want him to get his help but I can’t drive and I don’t have any money. So there’s not a lot I can do in the way of that. And like I said my parents don’t like him so they won’t be willing to help. I don’t know what to do
