So can I ask about your cat(s) and, if so, how are they :) any plans for more cats.

Question about fasting. When you fast a cat for 24 hours, when (after the last meal does that being)? More specifically, I feel my cat twice a day 6am/pm, his last meal was 6pm, do I wait til next next morning to feed him or can I feed him sometime after 6pm the next day? Thanks.

On my long commute home from work I listen to the news to catch up on the day. Today they announced a story about a judge that sentenced a woman who had abandoned some cats in a park to a night of the same fate - a night abandoned somewhere without food or shelter. The rest of her sentence was done...

Jasmine developed a strange patch of fur on her cheek, it is roundish, looked irritated, some of the fur has fallen out and looked slightly swollen with some scratches as it was obviously itchy. She hasn't been outside at all for about 6 to 8 weeks, and hasn't been around any other...

Bach's Rescue Remedy came highly recommended by two other cat owners I know. Upon further investigation it appears the mixture is carried in alcohol. My gut tells me any relaxing effect has to do with the alcohol and not the flowers. All I'm looking for is a non-sedative way of calming my eleven...

I've posted a little recently about my oldest cat Spam. He was diagnosed with early CRT and cardiomyopathy. He's on a renal food diet for the renal failure and atenolol for the heart. The reason I took him to the vet in the first place was because he was peeing on the floor instead of in the...

can anyone recommend a vet for a kitten in boston, preferably around jamaica plain?

Hi, I am a registered vet tech and also a 2nd year vet student and I have "Simon" who I have fostered since he was 3 weeks old and was found in a dumpster by some clients at our emergency clinic where I work. He is a DLH although I am starting to suspect he is mixed with Maine Coon as he has...

LOL, no definitive answer. (::::scream::::) My vet did a very thorough heart listen, checked pulse and so on. There's no murmur or anything suggestive of disease. It's all very normal. But of course that isn't conclusive, and she was honest about that. She did say she'd do a chest xray if I like,...

Hi. My cat has asthma that's getting worse. I just ordered an AeroKat inhaler. Now I need to buy the medications. Here are the particulars for those in the know: Albuterol: 90ucg/puff; quantity: 6.7g #1 Flovent: 220 ucg/puff; quantity: 7.9g #1 As sources for these medications, my vet suggested...

November is adopt-a senior month and one of the staff writers for the local newspaper is doing a story about senior cats. The hope is that the article will inspire some people to adopt senior cats. I know it's late in the month (I just learned about this), but I thought some of you might be...

What did the vet have to say? I hope he's back to his old self by now. Rhonda

Abernathy is pretty healthy again. Today his urine was rechecked and the red and white blood cells are gone - yeah! He does still have some struvite crystals, but not as many. So, the vet would like us to feed him food that acidifies his urine. He hated c/d. Any suggestions? I've been feeding...

sorry to 'ping' but while you're here i may as well ask. jasmine had an escape a couple of days after the kittens were born, she's just too quick sometimes! Anyway she was out for a few hours, when she got back she was fine. but a few days later she had scratched the fur away from a patch on her...

One of my cats has started leaving what looks like white rice on a chair that only he uses. Can you tell me what this is and more importantly what I should do. Scamp is one of 5 indoor/outdoor cats and I have 2 others that are indoor only so I don't want this to spread to the rest. Thanks

Our newest stray, who I've named "Ringo" because of his prominent, ringed tail, seems to be doing quite well, even though we can't provide a home indoors for him. We bought a pet carrier from a local thrift store, and lined it with plastic and newspapers. Then we put it in our backyard, wedged...

One has to wonder why Dr. E Fuller Torrey has, for thirty years, continued to promote his theory that cats cause schizophrenia and other psychiatric illness. He claims to simply be a believer and on a scientific quest, but I don't buy it. My opinion, after doing some research on the subject, is...

Hi, I have two cats, sisters. One sort of adheres to the rules in the house, i.e. no scratching of furniture and the other absolutely not. The latter either sees it as a game or wants attention. We give both to her her constantly however the scratching doesn't stop. It has turned more into a...
