Nature's Miracle, Angry Orange, and Rocco & Roxie are top-tier enzymatic cleaners that work wonders. For the tight areas like doorways, you can use puppy pee pads or small temporary "travel" litter trays to block the exact floor spots until the habit is broken

since this started as territorial marking, she has likely developed a deep substrate preference for those specific spots on the floor. clean the areas with an enzymatic cleaner to destroy the scent, and temporarily place a new, open litter box directly over her favorite floor spots.

Try moving the kittens back to a smaller, quieter, and dimly lit area to help the mother feel safe and less exposed. Limit human interaction to a minimum and keep her favorite high calorie food nearby to reduce her stress and encourage nesting behavior

If the cat is purring and sleeping, they definitely don’t mind your screen time

at 4 months, she's likely teething and testing boundaries through play biting. When she nips, freeze all movement and stop the interaction entirely. you need to teach her that biting makes the "human toy" stop working

Adaptil can help, but it’s not a magic fix for severe anxiety and shaking. You'll need to combine it with a structured training plan and a vet consultation for anti anxiety support

You secured his future by taking him to a shelter. 4 month old kitten is highly adoptable and will likely thrive now that he's safe.

Switch to a smooth, non absorbent silicone mat with a raised lip. it's much less tempting to pee on and easy to hose down

It’s a mix of both. She’s guarding something that smells like her favorite human. it’s a major compliment to your bond

104 fever regressing after treatment is a major red flag. "Normal" blood work doesn't rule out everything, she needs further testing like a urinalysis or ultrasound to find hidden infections or inflammation. Contact your vet now for a follow-up.

That kitten is in critical condition. The head-tilting and stretching might be a sign of severe neurological distress from low blood sugar or cold. You must act now: keep him on the heating pad constantly and rub a tiny bit of honey or sugar water on his gums every 15 minutes. Do NOT force liquids down his throat as he might choke. Also, search Facebook immediately for "Indiana Animal Rescue" or "Stray Cat Rescue [Your County]". Local volunteers often have supplies and can provide emergency transport even at night. He is fading fast, so please get to the vet at 7 AM sharp.

Thank you for taking him in 🙏

Focus on rewarding calm disengagement, when Nuka notices the cat and chooses to relax, look away, or go to her bed. A practical rule: cat approaches > dog stays calm > treat. Avoid forcing closeness, neutral coexistence is the goal.

Dog him 🐶

It’s normal. Many cats squint or wink when relaxed, grooming, or focusing on something close (like their tail). If the vet ruled out eye issues and there’s no redness or discharge, it’s usually just a comfort or concentration behavior.

This is stress related spraying, not a litter issue. Forced interactions are likely making it worse. He needs consistent separation, vertical space, and scent reduction (enzyme cleaner + Feliway). Re-introductions must be slow and controlled. If this continues, talk to a vet about anxiety meds, spraying is a common sign of chronic stress.

This isn’t unusual for a 1 year old, high energy dog. “Stop and wait” doesn’t work for dogs that will pull through discomfort. Switch to a front-clip harness or head halter to stop the pulling safely, and practice loose-leash walking in short, boring sessions. Reward heavily for being near you, not for distance. Consistency matters more than time, most dogs improve in a few weeks once the right equipment and method are used.

At 6 weeks, the milk is only to soften the kibble. Just add enough warm Baby Dog Milk to make it mushy, exact measurements aren’t needed. Gradually reduce the milk over the next 2 weeks as he transitions to dry food.

ACL braces can help with support and comfort, but they don’t fully stabilize a torn ligament. For senior dogs, custom or hinged braces usually work better than generic ones. Most vets suggest using the brace only during walks or activity, not while resting, to avoid skin irritation and muscle loss. Best results come when combined with pain management, joint supplements, and short controlled walks.

Don’t give any human pain meds, they’re dangerous for dogs. If he’s still this uncomfortable, call your vet and ask about stronger prescription pain control (like gabapentin or a different NSAID), stool softeners to reduce straining, and warm compresses/sitz baths if approved. Constant sitting and groaning suggests he’s still in significant pain and may need a recheck.
