Do You Know Why Cats Wag Their Tails?

Cat has had diarrhea a month, bought gut probiotics with no effect, but spirits and appetite are good; afraid of collapse

Cat has sat hunched for a week, not afraid of people, weak, eyes barely open, not eating, skinny to the bone – what could it be?
Not eating and lethargic can mean gastroenteritis, panleukopenia, parasites, or hairballs. See a vet if possible; worms in stool point to parasites needing deworming.
Why does my cat often sit in a brooding-hen pose?
The brooding pose has many causes. Cats do it when cold to keep warm, when afraid of nail trimming or on defense, and when unwell to ease pain. Try touching the belly for resistance and watch spirits, appetite, and stool; if abnormal, see a vet.
Is a parrot afraid of cats? Does it need warmth? Why does it breathe through its mouth? Does it need a nest? Does it sleep standing? What if it bites? Why does its head drop when flying?
Answers: parrots fear cats, so keep cats away to avoid stress; they feel cold, so warm them in low temperatures; mouth breathing is from a stuffy nose due to cold or heat relief; they need a breeding box only when breeding, otherwise a cage; they usually sleep standing; biting is from fear, so let them adjust and build trust; a head drop in flight may be a bump causing brief daze, keep watching and see a vet if other signs appear.
My cat’s two pupils look different sizes—I’m afraid it will go blind
Unequal pupils (anisocoria) often signal eye or internal disease—corneal injury/ulcer, nerve damage (Horner's), glaucoma, uveitis, retinal disease, iris issues, FIV, toxoplasmosis. A white spot below the right pupil suggests corneal injury/conjunctivitis. Seek urgent vet care.
