Heart murmur, x-ray normal by
yngver
Last summer we brought our 9 year old cat in to the vet because she
was having trouble climbing stairs and jumping up to her favorite
spots. At the time of the exam, the vet said he thought he heard a
very faint heart murmur. He thought it was insignificant, but since he
was doing x-rays of her...

Chelsea (the second of the "sponsored kitties") has been adopted by
MaryL
Good news! I wrote some time ago about the two kitties I was "sponsoring"
by paying for vetting, innoculations and spay/neuter (a male and a female).
The little male was adopted almost immediately -- although the ideal would
have been for them to be adopted as a pair -- and the little female...

Metal pee detector by
Richard Evans
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...

Seeking recommendations for vet in Lynnwood, WA area w/ holisticleanings by

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...

New kitten spay questions by
Nitesbane
Just adopted a cat that was left outdoors when her family deliberately moved
away without her. My best guess puts her at about 8-10 months old. I was
previously told she was "up-to-date with her shots", and she was in good
health when I picked her up off the street, so I did not immediately...

16 Year Old Cat by
[email protected]
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...

We just had hardwood floors installed throughout the upstairs of our home,

Can you at least call the vet to consult?
I've done that, of course.
But without seeing the cat the vet doesn't want to give any advice.

Judging a good cat sitter by

Any suggestions about how to judge whether a cat sitter is good or not?
I've interviewed a few, they seem nice. One does it after work, the other
is full time, plus she has references (but how can you trust those). They
both made cooing noises with cat and seem fine -
I just saw baby-sitters...

Swollen lymph nodes in URI cat by

I have a 12 month old cat, Gizmo, who has had an URI since I found her
and her siblings at two months old. When I recently took her in for her
1 year checkup, the vet said that these cats have feline herpes and
possibly calicivirus and that in this case, they were viral infections.
The vet also...
