WHich way does a cat's tongue go while he is drinking? When ever Mr. Bonkers finishes with a drink from his bowl, I notice that his lower chin is wet when I would expect his upper lip would be wet if he lapped like a human would. Does this mean his tongue bends backwards to drink? I'm having a...

When the time comes and I have to euthanize my cat, I would like to do it in the kindest way. I think this would be a nice meal of tuna juice and tuna with some morphine in the tuna juice. I have been told that 5 mg of morphine should be enough and that my cat would just fall asleep after eating...

I just noticed something strange on one of my cats. Along the top ridge of her mouth, on the outside, in the fur, but right next to her "lips" there are dozens of tiny black specs.. they look almost like blackheads. Any ideas of what they are, or if anything needs to be done?

Need to get my cat to sleep. Cat is 12-14lbs. A standard pill is 25mg. What's safe to give Gus? Thanks

Hello all, Thank you all for the help you've given in the past and I am turing to you again. Our cat, Gypsy, is a 9 year old female Bombay cat that all of a sudden started sneezing and doing a wretching/gagging thing that the vet calls reverse sneezing. The vet did blood work (including...

I did some research on eBay and on this group regarding whether you can use the dog version of Frontline Plus on cats. I am not a vet, but the messages on this group seem to indicate that they are interchangeable. This is attractive because 12-month supplies (12 pipettes) on eBay all run about $85,...

Sometimes you think things are bad, it seems like there's always somebody whose circumstances are worse. I have this poor little cat that I think has had such a sad life.... And now, instead of finally having some good times in her life, she's gonna die. I added a new cat to our family last...

Amber had her first dental cleaning last October at age 9 (after losing one of her fangs). I just got a "reminder" from the vet that she is due again next month. Are yearly dentals really necessary? Amber HATES to travel and the procedure is expensive. I would prefer to wait if it isn't really...

Hi All Instead of thinking outside of the box, my 8-year-old neutered male cat Freddie has the habit of poohing outside of the box. For almost two years now, he has been doing it. At first, I thought it was because I had gone back to work (I had been unemployed for several months). He started by...

For years I have been using Melmac cereal bowls to feed the cats their canned food. A few weeks ago I switched to small, flat dishes (also Melmac) thinking that the sides of the bowl might "tickle" their whiskers while eating. Tiger had the habit of taking a chunk of food out of the bowl and...

Hi -- just moved to Cairo, am looking to take on a cat or two. There are lots of litters of stray cats about, so i'll probably take one of them in. But i understand socialization is important. Any advice on the right age to take them and if there are any ways to figure out the age of a kitten in a...

First the good news: Ana has been doing very well since coming home from the emergency vet. She's playful, energetic, eats, drinks, and eliminates fine. Now the bad news: They ran the bile acids test and her levels were very high. The shelter vet believes she probably does have PSS. She ended up...
