After falling into water and being dried off, my cat can’t make a sound – its voice is very, very faint
Based on your description, the cat is likely stressed or inhaled water. A cat that falls into water may swallow a large amount; the water needs to be drained promptly. Hold the cat by the hind legs with its head lowered for a few seconds to help expel water - do not shake the body to avoid injury. After draining, dry the fur and keep it warm to restore normal temperature; if other symptoms appear, take it to a vet for emergency care.
My cat switched to a different-spec food of the same brand two days ago and now has vomiting and diarrhea — is it a cold or rejection of the new batch?
Since symptoms appeared after the switch, it's mainly the gut not adapting to the new food, causing flora imbalance and vomiting and diarrhea. Sudden changes in ingredients, taste, or hardness can upset the stomach; switch gradually. For now, fast it and give pet probiotics, then mix old and new food once improved.
How can I train my dog to hold its stool?
Training to hold stool takes patience. Steps: note when it needs to go after eating, take it to the designated spot (indoor pad, outdoor grass), reward after it goes; once used to the spot, if you don't take it at the fixed time it will try to hold. Control water, avoid drinking lots before bed. Stay patient and consistent; don't scold accidents, just clean up.
My hamster keeps pooping when it’s on my hand – it poops for over 5 minutes out of every 10 minutes I hold it
Frequent defecation in a small hamster can be normal, since their intestines are short and food passes through quickly. Check whether the droppings are well-formed and a normal color; if they are, the hamster is simply eating too much. If you keep feeding it treats while handling it, it may eat and poop at the same time. Feed reasonably and avoid overfeeding to prevent digestive upset.
How good is Meoduole cat food?
Meoduole cat food likely refers to the Meoduole brand under Nestle Purina. This cat food offers good value for money and very stable quality control, and is a long-term choice for many pet-owning households, with no serious negative reports so far. However, its raw materials aren't great — most animal ingredients are meat meal, and it adds quite a lot of grains and gluten, with relatively high starch content and slightly lower nutritional value, so many owners buy this cat food to feed stray cats.
Why does my cat like to scratch the sofa?
Common reasons: boredom, nail sharpening, marking territory. Cats need to scratch; without a post they use furniture. They also have scent glands on their paws and mark territory. Provide a scratching post or cat tree to reduce it.
Cat stress
For stress vomiting, fast 4–6 hours, then give small amounts of warm-water-softened kibble once vomiting stops. Provide a quiet, comfortable, dim environment and familiar items (blanket, toy, old clothes) or pheromones and catnip to reassure. If vomiting persists or other symptoms appear (diarrhea, fever, discharge, breathing trouble), see a vet.
