hi, I have two kittens at home. One is 6 months and the other is 4 months. Recently, I found fleas on them. I have already used ultraguard plus on them and used insecticide fogger for my place. I am not sure if this will help to stop the fleas once and for all. I read online that fleas tend to...

A 10-month old spayed female, medium-long hair, 9 pounds, I got her a few months ago, and I can't get rid of the fleas. Indoors only. I've tried everything, repeatedly, Advantage, other flea ointments, Capstar, spraying the whole apartment with flea-killer, sponge-ons such as Zodiac, flea...

We have six cats, all indoor-only. One, a short haired tortie named Motley, is very skittish and hard to get a hand on. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a patch of fur on her back that was not laying smoothly. It took me a while to get a hold of her, and when I ran my hand down her back it felt...

Wondering if there's an exceptionally high flea population in the eastern U.S. at this time. Our cat brings in a dozen or so every time he goes outside. My wife, who's in charge of the cat, has abandoned chemical remedies and simply combs them out. Where do fleas lurk, anyway, before they find an...

We just adopted Lena from a very respectable pet orphanage. Supposedly she was cleared by the vet at the orphanage, but since she came to the household, she's been scratching more and more - left chin, right chin, then all around the neck (but no other places). At first I thought her skin was...

Heya, Sorry for cross-posting. Don't know which group to send to.. So, got this kitten from Charlton in South-east London. Absolute bargain, only £20. Crazy little blogger. Does really stupid things. Now about a year old. But, since he's been going outside, a worrying phenomenon...

After some googling (and Wikipedia-ing), we realized that our cat is "flehming." He's done it several times at one particular spot in the bed. The weird thing is: 1) there's obviously no urine there, and 2) we have no female cats (or any other pets, for that matter). Is there any other possible...

I have a bowl of dry cat food in our backyard, for our "outside" cats, and it is often over-run by flies; is there any way to get rid of 'em (the flies) ? Thanks, Shell

He is my first cat. He has acute renal failure. I left him at the vet with $1000, first they're going to do a blood test to see if it's worth trying to save him. He's 6 years old. The day before yesterday, before he crashed or even appeared sick, I decided that I loved him the most of all the...

Hello, Do you all have opinions on types of flooring that work well with cats? My carpet is wearing out (it's old anyway), and I would like to replace it with something different that my cats won't harm (either by clawing or peeing). Obviously, tile would be a practical solution but it's cold in...

On May 30th, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission adopted a policy to REMOVE AND KILL ALL FERAL CATS AND KITTENS on any land where the commission deems the cats to be a threat of any kind to native wildlife. A 30 page Feral Cat Issue Assessment prepared by commission staff,...

After visiting about 10 different Vet Offices, I know ONE reason (other than their greed) why their fees are so high and they are so hard up for money. Out of the 10 Offices I walked into, 9 had 3 women sitting on their fat asses doing NOTHING. Instead of running an efficient lean practice these...

First of all, thank you everyone for your wonderful and thoughtful responses regarding my cat's coughing. Since we did all the suggestions you mentioned, we kept on the asthma route and find we get some relief with Flovent. Yea!! Doc said it should take a week or so to see real relief or stopping...

Hi, I posted a few weeks ago. Our 8 year old cat has FLUDT, and has had this condition for about 6-7 years. Recently he had a bad bout of FLUDT, which eventuated in hospitalization for 4 days and a catheter used as well. Quite expensive.

:O)

I have a partial fluid pack left over from Maynard. 600mL left along with some unused needles. Will this stay good for awhile? Should I save it in case I need it with another cat? Should I donate it to a shelter in case they need it Or should I just toss it? -- Meghan & the Zoo Crew

I'm new to caring for cats. Can I scoop out the waste from a litter box filled with clumping litter, sift it and flush it? The only litter I'm flushing is that clinging to the waste. It seems I should be able to, bit I'm asking as my toilet seems to be clogging a bit from doing that. Thanks!

Hi there, Our cat is about 7 years old, and was first diagnosed with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disorder (FLUTD) about 5 years ago. 5 years ago we were told to keep him on a diet of vet food such as Hills 'C/D' or similar. It was spelled out that we should use dry food as this would make him...

My 11 y/o cat is prone to calcium oxlates stones. He had been eating Hill's x/d dry when he developed a food allergy. He was switched to Hill's k/d dry but is allergic to that too (same main ingredients - rice, corn, and chicken). The vet wants to put him on Hill's z/d dry or (I think) on Hill's...
