Our cat, now about fourteen years old, has recently started having some sort of fit, or attack. Her legs give way, then she rolls about threshing and squealing in agony. This lasts for a few seconds, but then it seems to be over and she gets up and carries on as normal. These fits are now occurring...

My cat has been on 1ml of Prozac now for almost 4 months. For the most part she has stopped her inappropriate peeing around the house, except for a couple times (it used to be daily). The doctor said she can only be on it for 6 months at a time before there has to be a break. Has anyone else...

Has anyone tried the new Fancy Feast "Elegant Medley" yet? There are several flavors - but the are 89 cents for a small can!!! I bought one today and my boy liked it.

So, Meep had a mild cystitis attack recently. She'd continually go to the litterbox, do nothing, but without the distress and urgency of previous attacks where she had crystals and was blocked. Recently, she's lost some weight as well. Blood tests showed slightly elevated glucose, slight liver...

I have a cat who is about a year and a half old. Sometimes when she's curled up on my lap, purring away, she trembles. It's the kind of trembling a cat does when scared, like at the vet's. Is this a sign of a problem or is it just her quirk? It only seems to happen when she's really happy and...

Hello. I've posted here once or twice before about an old cat I inherited. All I knew about her when I inherited her was that she had been spayed and given initial shots (rabies, distemper, leukemia) when she was saved from the streets by my sister in 1994. One of you was *so* nice and called my...

I'm trying to reduce my two cats calorie and fat intake. The Vet says they are healthy but could lose a pound or two. Does anyone have any experience with adding cooked rice to canned food? How much rice is enough - what's the correct ratio rice/cat food? Currently I am giving them Science Diet...

Food questions - By reading around I figured canned is regarded better. So went and bought some. But... How many times do you feed a cat? Where in Chicago area is the best place to buy canned cat food? I was shocked by price jump at my nearby Petsmart. A small can of a

I noticed that my cat, Amanda, who is just shy of 14 years old and has cardiomyopathy and the start of CRF was recently spending an inordinate amount of time scratching around in her litter box. I also had noticed she wasn't grooming quite as well as she used to (but it wasn't significant, and I...

Thank you everyone for you purrs and prayers for Angus. He passed away in his sleep last night while still at the emergency vet. They haven't been able to determine exactly what he had, but suspect a neurological problem or virus. Angus developed tremors yesterday. They will be doing an autopsy...

I have been taking oil painting lessons for 3 years. My idea when I started was to have something special to look forward to when I reach retirement and not become a "couch potato." I soon found that I love painting "right now." I just finished my first attempt at painting cats. I looked through...

This may be a bit long, but please bear with me : I sorely need some advice here. We have two cats, Callie and Flower. Callie is 16 months, Maine Coon mix and was adopted at 6 months old from the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago. She's a great cat and we adore her. We moved back to...

Does anyone really know what grass does for cats? I know that a dog will chew on grass to maybe settle a stomach and probably for other reasons, so maybe the same for cats. Our cat seems to want it regularly, begs for it. Won't leave me alone till I go get him some. I have some growing in a...

Anyone had a cat with this? What did you do and how long did it take the cat to get going again? We've (we and the vet) been working with one of our cats for 3 days now. I feel so sorry for the cat. Rhonda

I cancelled it because I forgot until it posted that it was in a very sad thread. God, I'm so sorry for doing that. :( Cheryl

I am a little mixed up here. Are Fancy Feast "marinated" and "marinated morsels" different lines or the same? Thanks.
