Gracie and Jenny were indoor only sisters from the same litter, but Jenny died last November. Gracie has gotten too used to being an only cat, besides I am certain that she was starting to go nuts with the solitude. A two year old calico. So we took in Max, when we got the chance, last Monday. ...

Cat has reddened upper corner of eyelid and upper white part of eye. Squinting partially, minimal discharge, no obvious other damage to eye that I can see visually. Probably diagnosis from what I have read is conjunctivitis. Options for home treatment a Neomycin & Polymixin B sulfate zinc &...

I brought Harriet back to work yesterday, since she had pooped 5 times over the previous week. She was happy to be back and checked out all of her usual spots. Stinky, however, is NOT glad that Harriet is back. She was hissing at her as soon as she saw Harriet. Stinky *never* hisses so it's...

I have no responsiblity to this cat who was a stray. The minute you take the cat in you absolutely do have a responsibility for him. It would have been dead a long time ago if not for me. That doesn't justify your current cruel treatment and neglect of this

Or at least very, very near-sighted. At 16, I guess that's not all that unusual. She's been to the vet recently and is in great health otherwise, so this isn't the result of an illness, just age. She doesn't seem to be bothered by it, the only reason I noticed is that she doesn't look me in...

Thank-you. That was most informative! -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time.

Season's Greetings to the community -- I have two neutered male tabbies, 10 and 13, both rescue and primarily indoor cats, on a raw food diet supplemented with Serengeti dry food (mainly as a crunchy treat). I've become disillusioned with my current vet due to his, IMO, strongly traditional...

My new vet sat that our 12-year-old cat can come off of beta blockers now that she has been on thyroid medication for several years, because "many times, in these cats, after the thyroid levels are stable for some time, they can be weaned off of the beta blockers." The reason she is on them is...

Thank you so much for the advise! I did call another place and they told me to try wet food. He is drinking a lot of water and his cat milk, so he's ok in that department. He did eat some but not as much as I had hoped and so far he has kept it down. He's also sleeping a lot! I do have a nephew...

Sunday morning I went in to take care of my fosters and I noticed one of them was just laying in the bottom of the playpen and there was a lot of bloody diarrhea in the litter box and vomit on the towels. Her temperature was so low that she felt cool to the touch. Her two sisters, who share...

I had a carpet cleaner come by today to see about cleaning some pee stains from the carpet. He had some sort of metal rod with two sharp points on the end. When he stuck the points in the pee stains, the rod beeped. This, he said, indicated that the stains were all the way through to the padding...

I'm not talking about shopping bags. I know cats can get in trouble with those and I always put them away when I bring something home in one. I'm talking about food stored in plastic bags. Isaac is insane over any food product I stupidly leave out if it's in plastic. I'm not sure if...

Whoever answered my question, thank you. What I do need to know is this. Is the human form of Chlortremeton safe for cats. And why would she develop an allergic reaction to cat food. We have 4 cats and they all eat the same food and we have had them for almost 2 years. No problems till now...

I have a 10 year old cat. He's still VERY VERY youthful. He was rescued from an alley with his brother, and brought over to my house in a box. That must've been a very traumatic experience for him because he's been scared of everything ever since then! He is pure black. His name is Midnight, and...

I posted recently about a neighbours cat who was bleeding. Since my post I arranged with Cats Priotection to fund a cat spay operation on behalf of the owner. yesterday I took the little lady to the vet and it was done. I bought her home and once out of the carrier started to tug at her...

We just had hardwood floors installed throughout the upstairs of our home, and will do the same to the downstairs in a couple months. We previously had carpet. Seven cats live here. Yes, I understand cats are nocturnal and I've gone along with them jumping in and out of bed with us, etc. But now...

I could use google...too lazy. Friend has microfiber couch, cat peed, a bottle of nature's miracle later...still smells. Who's got the magic cure? Thanks! :) pam

Hi all, Can anyone explain the peculiar effect certain noises have on my 2 moggies? In particular it happens with the ringtones on my mobile phone, and if I whistle a tune. My female cat immediately comes running, and goes a bit dopey - chirruping, rolling around and headbutting either me or the...

Laila writes i am not sure what the behavior of a cat going into heat is...i haven't had the time to take her to the vet to be spayed, but i am calling the ASPCA tomorrow! i can't afford the $200-$500 procedure. That sounds like an absurd (inflated) price for a spay....
