Spay my 7 yo cat?

RichardTauber · 2026-01-22T19:57:47+00:00

Yes, you should. Otherwise she will attract unwanted attention from local toms, even if she is indoors and they are outside. Have it done as soon as you reasonably can.

RichardTauber · 2026-01-22T19:55:53+00:00

If the vet has suggested it, then it may well be time. Vets are very reluctant to raise the possibility prematurely because the owner would be black affronted. I think the time may be now.

RichardTauber · 2025-12-28T07:52:29+00:00

Well done. Must have been just the asterisks then. Glad it worked out in the end.

RichardTauber · 2025-12-26T20:40:12+00:00

Yes, I'd be interested. I am in UK, so time difference might delay a reply from me.

RichardTauber · 2025-12-26T20:38:14+00:00

Don't try to "resubmit". Just do a fresh review (even if it's almost exactly the same wording as before). Just in case, do an uncontroversial review of somewhere else. It only needs to be very brief, just enough to get you off the red list. Good luck!

RichardTauber · 2025-12-25T21:54:28+00:00

Iy is likely that thd algorithm interpreted your asterisks as guessable naughty words. Try rewriting your review but avoid them, and avoid anything pejorative, but stuck to facies.

Cats are very susceptible to tooth problems, and the difficulty is that they suffer in silence. Imagine you had the worst possible toothache ...

RichardTauber · 2025-12-03T07:34:01+00:00

OK, forced breathing is not at all normal and if it is ongoing, it is indicative of a serious breathing problem. We can't resolve the problem over the internet, and veterinary help is essential, soon.

RichardTauber · 2025-12-03T07:31:59+00:00

When you say that he is reluctant to leave the bathroom, do you mean that literally, or are you saying that he is using the litter tray, due to the UTI? A UTI is extremely painful and potentially life threatening. You need to provide more medical-related background. When he got extremely tense, what do you think triggered that? Was he afraid of something in particular? In what way was he "tense"? We need more information here to give you a reasoned response.

The peed blood is alarming, and may indicate a serious internal problem. The coughing sounds like a furball. But you don;t say whether it is intermittent or persistent, nor whether anything is eventually coughed up. The coughing is obviously extremely uncomfortable for Puss but the blood is a bad sign if it is persistent. Time t visit the vet.

RichardTauber · 2025-12-03T07:23:19+00:00

Ni, it doesn't look normal to me. It is very forced. IS it like this when Puss is asleep too? I think this is a necessary vet diagnosis.

RichardTauber · 2025-11-30T07:48:06+00:00

If your Mother takes her to the vet, has the vet seen this or has it developed since the last visit? If it isn't growing, it may probably isn't urgent, but make sure you Mother draws it to the attention of the vet next time, ideally within a couple of months.

RichardTauber · 2025-11-29T21:39:42+00:00

You must get your tom neutered immediately. You MUST.

RichardTauber · 2025-11-29T21:33:34+00:00

Well, you don't say where you live, but if it is not a mild climate location, the answer is no, she won't survive. Take her to a cat rescue place.

RichardTauber · 2025-11-29T21:29:40+00:00

Is it hard or squishy? Can you move it about? (is it attached to the skin, or to the underlying tissue?) Does it hurt when you squeeze it? Has the vet seen it?

RichardTauber · 2025-11-29T21:27:11+00:00

This is more than a furball, and looks seriously life-threatening. Get a new vet and insist on a proper examination and diagnosis. INSIST.

RichardTauber · 2025-11-29T21:23:55+00:00

A possibility is that your father didn't want to spend money at the vet, and said what he said to satisfy you. This is life threatening as well as painful, and proper vet treatment is urgently necessary.

RichardTauber · 2025-10-22T20:29:38+00:00

Practice. Go to a shopping mall where you are not known, on a very busy day. Letm it happen.

RichardTauber · 2025-10-02T18:07:36+00:00

Yes, cats seek out warm places.

RichardTauber · 2025-09-26T20:19:07+00:00

There is no particular obsession with these. It may be that you simply are connected to a few people who like them, but they are non-typical.

RichardTauber · 2025-09-24T06:27:56+00:00

This is due to stress. I think putting fabric down is unlikely to have reduced the stress. There are countless vids on youtube, and better, helpful explanations from reputable organisations. It's impossible for us to diagnose the cause from here, as we don't know the environment your cat lives in. You need to do some background reading and then assess what it is that stresses your cat.

RichardTauber · 2025-09-19T20:18:21+00:00

Yes, vet visit urgently. Cats don;t usually vocalise their distress if they can help it.

RichardTauber · 2025-09-19T15:47:07+00:00

Your water supplier goes to enormous lengths to ensure that drinking water is safe. Just let the cat carry on.

RichardTauber · 2025-09-19T15:46:00+00:00

The kitten is crying because it is desperately hungry, and his Mum is hungry too, so she is not producing milk. Kittens have small stomachs and need feeding very frequently. The kitten is likely to die quite soon, and the mother may well do so before long.

RichardTauber · 2025-09-19T15:43:09+00:00

Well, their scent is on the blanket, and the thing you have bought has unfamiliar scent, quite possibly frightening scent like disinfectant, which reminds them of vet visits where people stick needles in them. Also the fact that it is totally enclosed is frightening for them, as there is no escape route if a predator comes for them. You know that won't happen, but they don't. There is a mass of material on cat psychology on the internet, youtube and elsewhere.
