My boyfriend's cat has started to poop outside its litterbox. The cat is male, three almost four years old, and is neutered. It was just at the vet about two weeks ago and he's healthy, so that isn't an issue. But his roommate brought over a dog this weekend, which caused the cat to pretty...

The world will miss the physical presence and teachings of the greatest living teacher of Vedanta. It is a huge loss for all of us. Great Masters become more powerful and influential when they leave the physical body. Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati will continue to be with all of us and inspire,...

Hi, we have a cat about 5 years old (this is just a guess because we adopted her as a stray about three years ago and the vet thought she was maybe two at the time) who has had occasional soft stools. It never lasts more than a day (meaning she will have a soft stool, either runny or formed but...

What could be some of the possible causes of occasional diarrhea (like 2-3 times a week for the past couple weeks) in an 8 year old cat who is eating and behaving normally? She is not losing weight; in fact she's gained a few ounces over the past month or so. I suspect it might be that we have...

Last May our cat (now age 11) was diagnosed with very mild HCM. I posted the echo results here and the repeat echo in Dec 2007. It showed no significant changes so the cardiologist said to repeat echo in one year. We just had the recheck echo with a different cardiologist. Our cat has been...

Our 11 year old cat has arthritis in her knees and a bit in her spine. She has been doing very well on Cosequin and can still jump up on the bed and even runs a little sometimes but I can tell her knees bother her because she walks with her hind feet a little forward, hunching her spine. Even our...

We just had our six month follow up echo for our cat who was diagnosed with very mild HCM in May. I'm having trouble understanding the results and I hope you can shed some light while I wait to hear back from the cardiologist to clarify. Our cat was diagnosed with mild HCM with mild LV outflow...

Repost-- Thanks both Phil and Nomen for your expertise and advice regarding our newly diagnosed HCM cat. When I brought her in for her one week re-check last week I was able to talk to my regular vet. He is great--he told me that he sees a lot of cats that if diagnosed early as my cat was, and if...

Last week we discovered that one of our three cats had peed on the bedspread. This has never happened before--none of our cats has ever peed outside the litterbox. We are not sure who did it but it was a large amount and it was in the spot that our oldest cat (just turned 9) likes to sleep. We...

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...

Has anyone had knee surgery (also called stifle joint) done on their cat? I am just wondering how safe it is. Our 8 year old cat had been having trouble climbing stairs, and when the vet did x-rays, they showed some loose bits of cartilege in the knee joints. He consulted with an orthopedic...

Has anyone had a cat diagnosed with joint mice, mineral deposits in a joint? As I posted in another thread, our 8 year old cat was having trouble climbing stairs and after a series of x-rays the vet says she has "joint mice" in her kneecaps. In people I think this can be fixed with arthroscopic...

Hi, our 8 year old cat has been having difficulty climbing stairs the last couple months. She can go downstairs okay but she acts as though it is an ordeal to climb up. She always uses one front leg and sort of hoists herself up. The vet checked her over and he found no signs of pain in her legs or...

Phil, you know so much about HCM and I'd like to get your advice. I am heartsick to have just been told that our nine year old cat has early HCM. My experience at the vet's was upsetting because I never got to see the cardiologist so everything was filtered through some new vet I never met before...
