Medicating a recalcitrant cat by
Jodi
Well, I'm currently about 2000 miles away from poor Meep.
You might have read my previous posts, where I was deciding how Meep
would be cared for on this trip. I chose a pet sitter, interviewed them
and all and all am happy with them.
Meep has cystitis, which is brought on by stress. She...

interesting reaction by
chaniarts
i have 2 cats that are very aggressive with each other (see my previous
reply post about introducing a new cat). when together they resemble the
ball of fighting cats you'd see in old time cartoons; i keep expecting to
see !$%*& characters come out of the furball.

How to calculate caloric intake of nutrients by
JEP
A paper I saw (I think someone in this group cited it) suggests that the
caloric intake target of cats yields "a macronutrient energy composition of
52% protein, 36% fat and 12% carbohydrate."
My question: How do I calculate caloric intake of macronutrients? Is that
pretty much the same thing...

Introducing new cat to 2 existing pets.... by
Roo
Hi folks.
This is my first post here, so treat me gently !
My son's moving to London, and can't take Bella, his grey half - Rag
Doll with him. I've volunteered to give her a good home. (She's 2
years old, and has recently been snipped.) It's a very affectionate,
lively little cat.
I've got 2...

What do I need to know about pet sitters? by
jmc[_2_]
For the first time ever, I'm considering a pet sitting service for Meep.
I'll be gone for nearly three weeks. She did very poorly the last
time I had her in boarding, so I need to try something new.
I'm a very private and somewhat paranoid person. I do NOT NOT NOT like
the idea of a...

Needle shaped crystals in urine by
Jo
I have an interest in veterinary medicine and am actually in the
process of applying for a job as a veterinary assistant. In my
curiosity, I managed to get an old (1-4 weeks) sample of urine that
had been sitting on a vinyl mat. The urine looked like it had
crystallized. I looked at it under a...

Cat/human diseases in common? by
KenK
I've often wondered if my cat can get my cold, flu, etc. I try not to cough
or sneeze at her but am sometimes careless. So far, evidently no harm done.
Or what about her lying on my chest and, once in a great while, sneezing in
my face? I suspect our viruses are not compatible. At least the...

Trapping smart feral for new home by
irtheman
What do you do when the feral cat is to smart and won't go in the
trap? We left the traps open for several days with food in them so
the
cats would get used to eating inside them. A week later we actually
set the traps. We caught all but one of the cats. He was always very
cautious but he would go...

At Wits End by
jmc[_2_]
I'm at a loss what to do. Meep has gone from occasionally not pooping
in her box, to pooping out of it about 75% of the time.
Seems I have a choice to let her be constipated, or be cleaning cat sh*t
(it's poop when I'm not mad, and s*t when I am) off the carpet and
sundry objects every other...

Cat Litter Question by
Rockinghorse Winner[_5_]
Shopping for cat litter, I notice that there are two basic kinds of the non
clumping kind (the cheap kind!): regualar and scented (multi-cat).
I am confused as to why it is marketed this way. wouldn't the highly scented
kind be the preferable type for MOST cat owners, whether they have 1,2,...

16 yr. old cat constantly throwing up by

My cat is 16 yrs. old and for the past several months constantly
throws up. The vet did some blood work and his sugar was a little
high, which she attributed to the stress of the visit. His kidney
function is slowing down a bit and now she wants to take a urine
sample. She has changed his food...
