Our newer cat Milton, "Milton Monster" wants to play w the other older cats but they just want none of it. The younger of the two just hisses every time poor Milton walks by.
He lays down by her and tries to engage but nadda.

How long have you had Milton (and why have we not seen photos)? Sometimes, it takes time for them to all get along.
I'm curious as to if anyone here has had this happen. We took Annie to the vet today because she has developed a limp in her right leg. They had us leave her there for the day for x-rays. Thankfully it's nothing broken or really serious- she's 12 years old and has some kind of kitty bursitis.
The odd thing that happened is this: We took her home in her cage and when we got her in the house, let her out of the cage. I noticed right away she has a weird chemical smell on her fur. By the time we got home it was too late to call the vet so I'm hoping I can get some explanation from them tomorrow. I don't remember this ever happening with any pets at the vet before. It smells like some kind of bug spray or antiseptic or something- pretty awful. For me, so bad I can't even pick her up or put her in my lap (rather unhappy about that!). The smell has been giving me a headache, so she will have to sleep in the back room. Bummer because she normally sleeps with us.
I guess I'll just have to wait and hope it dissipates soon. Just seems like this should not happen.

I hope she is ok. I haven’t noticed that kind of smell before. Let us know what the vet says.

never had that happen to mine (least not that i'm aware of)
I think my one cat, Kia, is part raccoon. She digs through my trash and gets anything edible she can get a hold of (especially meat). Recently I had to put their cat food and treats somewhere where she can't get to cause one time she tore a big hole and her treats were everywhere on the floor. And this past Monday I woke up to find the got to my bread. The bread was on the floor, bag chewed and some pieces were eaten.

Thanks, GG. The vet says she has a form of bursitis. He gave her an anti-inflammatory injection and a three day course of similar in pill form. After that she will get daily treats containing glucosamine sulfate (which I've been taking for years for arthritis and it helps big-time!) She doesn't seem to be in pain but has a chronic limp. I'm trying to discourage her from jumping down off of things like stools and the few other places she is allowed to be up on. If my back isn't too sore, I lift her down because when she jumps down, she land feet first (of course.)

Possibly if it was topical. They didn't need to give her anesthesia for the x-rays- probably because she is really mellow around people. My sister suggested that it might be flea powder because her vet powders their pet patients before they go home. The smell has dissipated some and I'm guessing will get better as she cleans herself.

My male cat is a bit like that. If he could get into my trash he would. I don’t throw food scraps in there. I put those in a separate bag which I keep up high out of his reach and then take it down to the trashcans for our building every morning. Once I came home from grocery shopping and went to use the bathroom really fast. When I came out he had gotten into my deli meat and ate a quarter pound of turkey. He also eats plants so they are either hanging or on a high shelf. Little bugger but I love him anyway.

Our little bastard Milton loves turkey and chicken. He is also partial to American cheese. When I make my lunch in the morning he comes a running when he heres the Tupperware or the baggies.
Now Zoey. Her nickname is also chewy. Why? She chews EVERYTHING! Loves plants. Speaking of which, I need to make some kitty grass tonight!
