I bought a cat on the 3rd and brought it home on the 8th; it hasn’t eaten or drunk for two days and is vomiting badly
Not eating or drinking for two days with vomiting may be stress from the move or illness such as infection or digestive issues; newly bought cats have a higher chance of carrying panleukopenia or parasites. Dehydration and gut damage are real risks, so vet care with fluids and anti-vomiting shots is best.
My Cat Has Been Using the Litter Box Frequently the Last Two Days, Sometimes Producing Nothing, with Little Volume, Crouching a Long Time, and Licking Its Bottom
Frequent litter-box trips with little urine likely signal a urinary issue such as idiopathic cystitis, urethritis, urethral spasm, stones, or blockage, often from strong stress or low water intake. If the cat cannot urinate, seek urgent vet care.
Cat Frequent Urination with Small Volume: Causes and Medication
Frequent, small-volume urination in cats is usually a urinary-tract problem — urethritis, cystitis or urolithiasis. Start with a diuretic and a pet-safe anti-inflammatory to ease pain and infection, encourage water intake, and if there is no improvement see a vet to rule out stones blocking the urethra.
Why a Cat Keeps Meowing at Night and How to Stop It
Night meowing can mean heat, nocturnal habits, hunger, or distress. Shift the schedule, spay or neuter, and leave food to keep the peace.
How long does cat jaundice take to heal?
Cat jaundice usually needs 2 to 4 weeks of treatment, depending on severity and cause. Prompt effective treatment leads to quick recovery, but severe cases need a longer period, possibly hospitalization with fluid therapy. The cat is weak, so let it rest and reduce stress, and feed it properly during treatment.
What to Do When a Cat Is Lethargic After Vaccination
Lethargy, reduced appetite, low fever, and sleepiness after a cat's vaccination are normal immune responses that usually clear within three days. Comfort and play with the cat to ease environmental stress. Before vaccination keep it healthy and dewormed; after, observe at the clinic for 30 minutes, skip baths and strenuous exercise for a week, and record the shot in its vaccine booklet.
A Complete Guide to Cat Boarding
When you travel, boarding is often the safest option for a cat. Choices include a friend's home, home-style boarding, a vet clinic, a pet shop, a cat hotel, or in-home visits—each with trade-offs in cost, stress, and infection risk. Bring familiar food and items to reduce stress.
What to Know Before Boarding Your Cat — and Which Cats Shouldn’t Be Boarded
Cat boarding works best when you match the method to your cat's health and temperament. Kittens that are not fully vaccinated, plus pregnant, frail, or easily stressed cats, should not be boarded at all. Bring familiar food, a carrier, vaccine records, and a signed agreement, and choose between a clinic, pet store, home boarder, or in-home visits based on safety and your cat's needs.
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.
What Happens If a Cat Eats Too Much Catnip?
Catnip contains nepetalactone, which can relax, cheer, and stimulate a cat, but about 30% of cats don't react at all. Feed it in moderation — as a reward or to ease stress and poor appetite — because too much over-excites the cat and dulls its response to catnip.
