I brought a kitten home the day before yesterday; it had no symptoms but vomited at night
Cats in a new environment often get stress vomiting/diarrhea; give a comfy space to adjust. Watch for other symptoms; if none, usually fine. Let it be alone for security. Check diet—feed its old food, then slowly change.
How can you get a cat to accept a dog?
To help a cat accept a dog, first ensure enough space and keep them separated for a few days. Once they are used to each other's scent and sound through a barrier, allow short supervised meetings, gradually lengthening alone time if the cat stays calm.
My kitten from a cattery runs around on a cold floor and has sneezed for two days. Is it a cold?
Sneezing alone is unclear; check for nasal debris first and keep the home clean. If runny nose, eye discharge, fever, or poor appetite follow, suspect viral rhinitis and see a vet.
What happens to a cat when no one is home?
Alone, a cat's behavior varies by personality, age, breed, and home; mostly it sleeps, then plays, eats, grooms, defecates. Some feel lonely and anxious, showing excess calling, furniture scratching, over-grooming, or spraying. Older cats may be fine alone for days if food and water are ready.
Cat has breathed poorly and coughed with runny nose since coming home; improved shortly after. A few days ago weather changed severely, then it ran a fever (39.8 C rectally). Four days ago it stopped eating and drinking, hid, no stool or urine, and at night vomited pale-yellow watery fluid with a faint fishy smell. Cephalosporin prescribed.
The report alone can't confirm a diagnosis; further PCR for respiratory/coronavirus, ultrasound, X-ray, and bloodwork are advised. With yellow vomit, fever, and breathing trouble, rule out FIP first; coughing suggests upper-respiratory infection.

My Cat Is Too Hyper and Jumps Around All Day — What Can I Do?
A hyperactive cat is often driven by curiosity, excess energy from too much sleeping, a lack of boundaries, or anxiety in a new environment. Spend more playtime with it, set clear rules with reward and correction, and keep its surroundings calm to help it settle into a quieter routine.
Do Cats Really Need Companionship?
Wild cats are mostly solitary and many seem aloof, so people assume they never feel lonely. In truth, cats can feel lonely and need your company, they just don't show it the way dogs do.
