Does a declawed cat need a scratching post?




Just her front paws will be declawed.

My outside cat is scratching himself raw. His entire belly, under his chin, and his legs are covered in scabs. He obsessively licks and scratches. We’ve tried a cone around his neck, OTC itch spray and prescription allergy pills. Nothing has worked. What’s the deal?!
He also seems like he has a fever.

Why is my cat peeing in the other cats litter box?




We just got a new cat last month and I keep catching my cat (the first cat) peeing in the new cats litter box. They use the very same litter so I don’t understand. My cat never even used to go into the main bathroom where the new cats litter box is and now she walks right in, pees and walks back out. She’s done this at least 3 times that I know of.

Why? Is it a territorial thing?

cats like plastic bags but not crinkle tunnel?




Any idea why my cat would perfer to run around with a plastic bag over his head than play in the crinkle tunnel I bought him? He’s obsessed with plastic bags but afraid of the tunnl. I put treats in there and he’ll go in really cautiously to get the traet, but then he runs back out.

we’ve had it…probably close to 2 months and I’ve been doing the treats and cat nip in there ever since we got it.

And if there are, if i wash the outside will my cat be safe to lick them?

Just need some info on why some people clips the wings. I do not agree to declawing a cat or docking a dogs tail, so maybe this is also those inhumane things that people do to their pet.

My cat had normal litter box habits before she got hit by a car. During her recuperation and ever since, she goes in there 10 to 15 times a day and sometimes 3 times within 15 minutes. Very erratic habits. Sometimes she’ll just sit in there doing nothing for 15 or 20 minutes. It’s an enclosed litter box, and when she’s "done", she’ll sit in there and scratch at the inside of the box for up to 5 minutes. Very strange, and our vet has no explanation. Has anyone else out there had a similar experience?
