I went to buy the Marinated Chicken or Tuna Feast in Savory Juices, as Phil had pointed out, they are low in phosphorus. And low in kilocalories, I might add. BUT, it's now Marinated Morsels Chicken Feast in Gravy, grrrr. New Bite Size! Whoppee. Web site, click here for more info. Get a bigger...

I am pleased and proud to announce the arrival of "Bubba" on December 3, 2012. I had been thinking of getting another cat for a while because Pookie seemed so lonely and was sleeping all day. Bubba comes from Valle de Guadalupe and was delivered to me by my housekeeper, Alma. Bubba has a good...

Hi, I have a twelve and a half year old cat who seems to be losing weight despite the fact that she has a big appetite, plays a lot, and generally seems healthy. She's been somewhat overweight (not obese) since she had her second litter of kittens in 1994 but as of late she feels like she's...

I cleaned up the enclosure under the deck and made sure all ground stakes, staples and cable ties are secure enough after months of having removed the pet door (too drafty in the winter). Added a few more stakes to hold the mesh down into the ground at tighter intervals to make it more...

A Human shelter burned down last night in Florida, USA. It is a Tragic story, & I hoped that by posting it, that some of us might be moved enough to help them in some small way if you can...? I found it horrifying & such a terrible shame too... ( VIEWER...

So we took her to the vet. The oldest of our girls. Made mention of her in a previous post, entitled "silly kitty". For starters, keep in mind she's always been a small and slightly frail cat. The doctor confirmed dental trouble in the way of some gum disease to an extent of something awful,...

I was using Fresh Step, and found that there was little or no odor and it was easy to clean. Tried a corn-based one, but didn't like the smell. Went back to Fresh Step. Tried Arm & Hammer, but there was distinct Eau de Cat Box in the house and I found it very hard to scoop: it tended to form a...

My two year old kitty recently had a urination problem. After exam and medication Vet said give her more wet food because that increases her moisture intake. Problem is she only really likes the gravy from inexpensive brands like Friskies and 9-Lives. I want to give her something better since...

Hey, haven't been on here in years, but I'm hoping PhilP is still reading/posting here. I have a problem with a male cat, Archer, 8 years old, just had a blockage due to urinary crystals for the first time in his life (thankfully I'm an ailurophile and was able to diagnose it myself and got him in...

when my kitty no longer likes her food, canned food, she "buries" it with motions around the bowl that she makes in the litter box. i've seen cats do that before, but it's cute every time. -L

My 14-week old kitten Fracas has still not completely overcome the illness that causes him to sneeze rapidly about 4-30 consecutive times, mostly in the morning just before I give him a refrigerated liquid suspension of amoxicillin. Fracas appears to respond positively to amoxicillin, although the...

I have seen this mentioned from time to time but is there any proof?

You may recall that I posted a message regarding my 16 year old cat that began limping. He's still limping and I've scheduled an appt. for tomorrow to have xrays taken (which is the only day this week the vet can do it because of Thanksgiving this week). This makes me nervous enough because the...

The sides are pretty tall, but they can jump. Seems they already prefer the huge 100+ quart Sterilite box for a litter box. I was using one of those grocery store style maroon litter boxes (Hartz I guess). Had to clean the sides every few days. I guess that proves it stays clean not because of...

I picked up a new playmate for Espy. I went into the wilds of New Jersy yesterday with my co-worker and made friends with his cat Nipsy, and then took him with me. That was the plan. Nipsy showed up outside their door a few months back and they fed him. Then, after he was attacked by something...

I posted some time ago about moving cats from Europe (Germany) to the US and got many helpful replies. It has taken longer than initially expected but finally we will be moving in three weeks. This cat move is costing me a fortune (about 1K USD -- a lot of money for us these days) and everybody...

Its a strange way to start a topic but I guess I'll start from the day I bought Leo. I didn't mean to buy another cat considering that my last one only lived for two years but I just couldn't resist him. He's a ginger tabby and I've had him since November last year. He's five months old now. When I...

Hope I'm in the right place to be asking this question. Have just been through a harrowing 24 hours with my cat to the emergency vet in the middle of the night- hit by a car and 3 "clean" fractures to the pelvis. The critical thing was bladder function and she proved that she can "go" after I...
