Anyone else besides me have a cat that likes yogurt. I was enjoying my yogurt tonight and my 'child' tried to get up in my lap and take it away from me !! I put a little on the tip of my finger and she lapped it right up !!!

"Myriam Abramson" wrote in message ... My cat had squaamous cell carcinoma for the past six months. I couldn't let it go. I feel guilty for waiting so long. My cat died of a seizure before I could get him to the emergency room. I...

Took Dufus in this morning for his wellness check and dental. His liver is better, still feeding Renal HP, but now something is up with the kidneys. Sugar was 214. Vet is flushing out kidneys and is going to do a more comprehensive blood test and send it to a lab. Not ready yet to...

I saw a new scratching post at the place I buy Wellness. I was totally blown away by it's look and the way it's made but I just couldn't afford it right now. :-( Well, lo and behold a new client of mine was so happy with my work she gave me a bonus to pay for the scratching post! I brought it home...

I am adopting a cat from a friend but it bites me and I am not sure how to stop him from doing this. He is a 6 year old, neutered male, orange-brown short haired cat. It has lived as an indoor cat with it's previous owner since it was 4 months old. The vet checks his health to be fine and all...

Several people have independently refered to my cats as Monster cats. They never seemed that big to me. I decided to weight them by holding them while I'm on the scale and then weighing myself. One of them is 21 pounds and the other is 20. These just regular short hair cats and they aren't...

I have had my cat for less than 6 months. She was an affectionate 6 month old stray cat who loved to bump her head on you for attention. She loved to play under the covers of my bed as though she were attacking a mouse. Now after a trip to the vet she has stopped this behavior. Last Saturday I...

Well, after reading Phil P's last post...we took Jasper to the Emergency Vet. He is there resting comfortably right now, on an IV for fluid therapy and all that good stuff. Here is the lo-down. We had them do another round of blood tests and xrays. The blood tests confirm pancreatitis, with...

Aside from being so worried about Jasper, the hardest thing in the past 24+ hours was being at odds with my husband. We had to take Jasper to the Animal 911 yesterday because our vet is closed on Sundays. The 911 place is VERY expensive. NO question about it. Tim wanted them to simply give...

I subscribe to Ca****ch (a newsletter published by Cornell). They had an article about caring for cats' health problems, and mentioned a couple's solution to getting an accurate, regular weight on their cat: going to the post office! They would take their cat in the carrier (after hours) and weigh...

My mom has a cat who vomits more than seems normal, and she asked me to post here for advice. She's been through two vets and every idea they both recommended, without any improvement. Every week, she has a couple of days that she'll vomit three to four times during that day. She vomits undigested...

Just back from the vet's... she suspects a vaccine associated sarcoma. It has been 3 years since a rabies vaccine at this site. She is getting a consult from Cornell. We will be making an appt there for whatever treatment they suggest. Linda

Hi! I posted this problem in alt.cats before and was told that I could get better advice in here so I'll try. I`ve got three indoor cats, and look after some strays that live in the park on the other side of the street. Recently this new Tomcat arrived, pretty young I guess, but not a kitten...

My Maine Coone, Ben, loves water. Every morning when the kids brush their teeth, Ben goes into the tub and I put the water on trickle. He loves it, drinks from the tap and splashes himself, to where he gets fairly wet. He does this in my kitchen sink as well. Also, loves to sleep in my...

Wow poor little thing....I'd be miserable if I were here. I would call the vet to let him know what's going on and see if there is a med you can give her for the diarrhea or if she has a stomach virus. I can't offer much help, but I think calling the vet and explaining to him that she is still...

Two weeks ago my wife and I adopted a 6 month old Calico female kitten from a local animal shelter. She is adjusting very well and is not causing any problems. It is time to trim her claws and we don't know how to properly hold her while doing so. She is still shy but no longer afraid of us. ...

I have two 9 month old kitties, a brother and sister. The female is ok with staying in the house, but the male really wants to go out. I live in SoCal so I have both traffic and coyotes to worry about, there's no way I can allow the cat out. Due to a mishap, he finally got out and was out for a...

Well, I just kept calling and asking. I offered higher deposit for "with claws". I think you have better luck if you rent a house apartment rather than a complex apartment. I wouldn't give up just when told over phone. Talk to an actual manager, because they can be much more ready to deal. Just...

My cat has inoperable mouth cancer. I need advice on getting him to take in more food and if there is any topical pain killer that I can use on the sores in his mouth. I know I can't use human products like benzocaine or benzyl alcohol. He's doing pretty well right now aside from weight loss. ...

Greetings: I'm sorry to announce that Louie was put to sleep at approximately 10:00 AM this morning. All week he was having a terrible time with seizures and fainting spells. I even rushed him to the emergency clinic at midnight on Tuesday. He tried two different kinds of heart medicine, but he...
