Hi I'm hoping someone here can offer me some advice regarding the practicalities of finding an alternative renal diet to the Hills Feline KD. I am in the UK and my vet, and all the other local ones only stock Hills. I've scoured the internet to no avail but to be honest, I'm not sure what I'm...

Hi, My cat Jake has small patches of his fur missing on both of his sides. Missing may be a bad description, I would say the fur looks thin, if that makes sense to anyone... I am bringing him in tomorrow morning to have the vet take a look, as I cannot tell if this is serious or not. Any ideas...

I'm a wreck. My kitty is having surgery at 1:30 today. It's an exploratory surgery to see what's going on. She's been throwing up and having diarreha (sp?) for awhile. It started off not too bad but the vet recommended I have xrays to find out if there was an obstruction. This is after I...

How long will cat food in an open can survive in a refridgerator?

There are people here who have been trying to make a difference in the life of a little cat. Why don't you **** off and see if you can't manage to get knocked up with a litter since that is apparently the highest thing you have ever aspired to. HTH HAND.

Hello, Thanks for looking at this question. I have 1 older stray cat (male, neutered), 1 not so old (male,neutered) and another stray female, very young that just dropped a litter of kittens that we just gave away to good homes. The problem is, this new female just hates my older male, and they...

So you're afraid they're going to give you a cyber beating or shoot you with a cyber bullet? You must have one very big ego. George Orwell nobody mixmaster.it wrote: Path:...

As we have mentioned to you before in another thread, "da Bunch" was with us for over 7 years. That would have been a lot of trips to the vets to have them trimmed instead of declawed. And our time is worth a lot of money. There would have also been the transportation expense. We are secure in...

You might remember the 3-year old orange tabby I posted about. He was trapped by us as a 10-week old feral, kept for 3 weeks and "tamed", got his shots, etc., then went to a new home in Portland. She moved 3 mos. ago and left him with a co-worker. Abernathy reverted to feral-mode, and the new owner...

I worked with a lady, she stood there and told me she had no less than 70 (seventy and no dollars) CATS. I start prying into this phenomenon...and she knew thier names, thier medicines..and so on... 70 Cats

A couple of facts to toss into this unresolved and ongoing debate. 1. I have purchased FIVE different brands of dry cat-food and none of these comprises biscuits which are big enough to require my young cats to crunch or chew. The biscuit is taken into the mouth and simply swallowed. I have...

How long do most of you get out of the LR44 batteries on the laser toys? Mine are givng out after only 10 days. Are there other laser pointer toys that use cheaper AA or AAA batteries?

All the books I read say that feeding your cat "premium cat food" is essential. Would Costco's Kirkland brand cat food qualify as "premium" cat food? Would my cat be better off with a brand name, like Iams? What is the definition of "premium" cat food anyway? What should I be looking for and...

My sweet wonderful cat died last night. He has had a heart murmur for years and I suppose that's what did it but I'm not sure. He was perfectly fine. He was standing next to me in the kitchen begging for food when he suddenly jumped up, crashed into a wall then keeled over. He moaned very loadly...

You lucky people! My tabby sisters (RB) were underwear fetishists as kittens! Fugazi dug out a pair of the SO's dirtiest underpants and as a baby used them as a comfort blanket. She also used to like sleeping in the washing basket but she'd dig round to make sure she was lying on someone's used...

Is there a trick? Yesterday I took pictures of Buddha lying in the sunshine on the back of the couch in the front room and they are all so dark you can hardly see her. See last two photos he http://photos.yahoo.com/crazyaboutfelines. (Every morning I find her lying on the back of the couch in...

Went to see him this morning. He's on an IV. He actually looks better I guess from the fluids but now he's weaker - and he's not eating. He ate a few pieces of tuna and chunky chicken off my fingers but that was it. He wanted to eat but it seemed like it was too much of a bother. My vet...

I need you guys' help. The vet told me to watch the burn closely for any change of color or appearance and if there is I was to take her in right away so they could do surgery. Well, the burn looks different than it did, but it might be that it's getting better. For those who can take...

They decided to stop dehydrating and giving her nurishment. I told them to just put her to sleep.. not to let her starve to death. That is very cruel and unusual for a creature that has done nothing to anyone, or anything. But they said.. under state law, without my cat saying it didn't want to...

A few weeks ago, my 6 year old cat, Mittens (a neutered male) starting urinating in inappropriate places (the bed, the couch) and started "scooting" across the floor. I of course took him to the vet immediately where it was discovered that he had tapeworms and an impacted and infected anal glands....
