Our 16 mo. old male cat had his 1 year vaccination yesterday. He won't eat & wants to sleep 24 hours/day. Vet says give 1/2 a baby aspirin. I thought that aspirin was bad for cats. Is it or not?

Hi Group, As many of you know, I have 11 indoor cats, well, 10 now. Old Buster (a beautiful tuxedo male) passed away last weekend. He went in for a checkup (he was 16) last Friday, since I noticed he was eating less and had diarrhea. His blood work was normal and his kidneys were functioning fine...

I have a 13 1/2 year old male tabby. About four months ago he started to vomit usually, but not always shortly after eating. Since I only feed him once a day that meant he threw up all his food for the day. Right after that he'd be begging for food. I took him to the vet who examined him and...

Hi, I'm thinking of ordering some of the Feliway diffuser refills from US as they're not available (yet) in Australia. Can anyone tell me if it would be possible to empty the contents into the vial of one of the household "Ambipur" type diffusers (ie the supposedly nice smelling things people...

Funny story; my old 55 gal "project" fish tank set up is now in the house empty and close to ready for reseal.... One of my cats has made it his hang out and loves to go in there! It is so funny, his name is "Little Darkie" and he's a very funny guy. When in there he rolls around and will...

Hello, I'm new to this whole forum thing so bare with me.... About 2 days ago I noticed that my 1 year old cat, Roxanne, is not eating very well at all. She's only consuming about 1/2 a cup of food at most a day. I've tried mixing wet food with her normal cat food (Solid Gold), and just straight...

Hi, My cat Nemo was just diagnosed with CRF. His numbers were all completly normal with the exception of the BUN, which was only 12 points about normal. I am feeding him pretty much whatever he wants for now but he doesn't seem to want to eat and he isn't drinking much water. Otherwise he acts...

Once in America a plane crashed, only a monkey who was traveling in the plane was left alive. Fortunately the monkey was intelligent enough to understand our language and reply in actions. The officials went to see the monkey in the hospital and had a talk with the monkey. Officer: "When the...

There is a feral cat at the local waste disposal site that I use. I have been feeding it in the hope that I will be able to bring it home. Progress has been slow but steady until another person decided to feed it. He just dumps kibble on the ground 2lbs at a time. Needless to say the cat is no...

My girlfriend had been asking me for a cat for sometime. After several weeks I finally went out to get one. I waited for hours till I saw a stray scratching on someone's door. I brought it home and my girlfriend loved it. Long story short - she is spending way too much time with this cat. We had...

Our (approx.15-16) year old cat was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago with the above at the top of his right hind leg. (or around there) Vet said this is common in older cats. A vet partner more or less confirmed the diagnosis. 6 months ago it didn't appear OR the vet missed it. No biopsy was done...

Okay, I am going to start working on this pretty soon. I wondered if anyone had any ideas. We're going to make Tucker an enclosure and here is what we're thinking. some kind of wire mesh, the bottom buried underground and then fastened on both side of the *cage* with 2x4s. He will have a *ladder*...

I am facing a real dilemma with a stray cat that hangs out near my apartment complex. He's part of a local trap-neuter-return program. I had decided to adopt him because some of the people who live here hate cats and have made threats to harm them. He likes people so I figured he'd be the easiest...

Very irritating: We use a Petmate waterer for our cats. The new one which is now about 3 months old has started leaking just like the previous one we finally replaced, due to a pump fail and the fact that stores don't keep replacement pumps. This can't be brain surgery... it seems there are but...

I want to raise this to everyone's attention here. Steve Crane pointed this out in a post buried in another thread here, however this warrants a thread of its own to bring the information "up front" so to speak. October 15th issue of JAVMA (Volume 223 Number 8) details a study in which it was...
