Kuisse0002
My cat - an abandoned stray - is truely lovable towards me in the middle of the
night and first thing in the morning. We always thought she hated my husband
and all men (as displayed by her action of running out of the door and away to
hide everytime) but today I was with her in the morning and...

first visit to the Vet's)a 'sorta' cold and that the cat was probably

'dental diet' products by
Filigree00
A vet recently recommended that I get food for my cats marketed as having
teeth-cleaning properties. She mentioned that these foods have an enzyme in
them that breaks down the plaque on their teeth.
The fact that they'll only eat regular Friskies aside, I tried giving them
Friskies Dental Diet,...

Cat Grass growing by
Alton
For growing cat grasses for kitties to eat, the small little pots I've
tried are not working that well. Some tip over when the cat is
nibbling. Others grow only a small amount -- the grass doesn't last
long. Sometimes it yellows. Has anyone successfully planted a large
amount indoors so that...

Poor Amber by
---MIKE---
I discovered a lump on Amber's tail (near the base) last week -so- off
to the vet again. Last night she had a cyst removed. She is home now
but not too happy. The base of her tail is shaved on one side and she
appears to be a bit uncomfortable when she sits down.

Cat "beds" by
---MIKE---
Both of my cats have decided that they prefer to sleep on newspapers. I
spread the papers out on the couch and love seat and that's what they
like - the messier the better! It's a good thing I am not a neat
freak.

Kato eating again by
A.J. Rivett
The vet prescribed an antihistamine called cyproheptadine for Kato and
she responded immediately by eating a sizable amount of kibble and
tuna and some juice from a couple of cans of tuna. I don't know why an
antihistamine stimulates appetite in cats but at this point I don't
care. I just hope...

Dr. Jekyll cat is Mr. Hyde at the vet by

This has happened twice. The cat in question is the only pet in the

people or visitors and sidles up to them and plays with them.
Absolutely very social. Not declawed but does not scratch in attack,
has never bitten anyone...

This poor cat.
This week he was feeling poorly again - and was trying to poop but
couldn't - all day Sunday. I nursed him and fed him all kinds of
things to help lubricate him, and he passed yet *another* hard furball
