Greetings All, I have a 5 year old neutered male cat who is a very special part of our family. Monday morning, we noticed strange behaviour - not eating, lifeless, depressed, glassy eyes, etc. He also urinated outside his litterbox which he has never done before. We monitored him over the next...

I have a yellow tabby, about 3 years old. He has brown stuff around his lips. We have taken him to the vets, they have cleaned him up; said he had no cavaities and everything looked good. But 1 month after the cleaning he is back to having brown stuff around his mouth again. any ideas what it could...

My cat has been on 1ml of Prozac now for almost 4 months. For the most part she has stopped her inappropriate peeing around the house, except for a couple times (it used to be daily). The doctor said she can only be on it for 6 months at a time before there has to be a break. Has anyone else...

Our cat, now about fourteen years old, has recently started having some sort of fit, or attack. Her legs give way, then she rolls about threshing and squealing in agony. This lasts for a few seconds, but then it seems to be over and she gets up and carries on as normal. These fits are now occurring...

My white cat has developed a darkening of her nose (see other post). I'm told white cats are prone to skin cancer. I never let her outside but she does lay in a sunny window in the morning for hours. The window is a double, with a storm window on the outside. Doesn't that block the dangerous...

I have 2 wonderful cats that happily share my NYC apartment with me. For the first time since they joined me I need to go away for a few days... 5 days and 4 nights specifically. I have a friend whom I trust to stop in for an hour or 2 a night to give the cats some company and some wet food. My...

This cat, unlike other's I've had, is "extremely uncooperative" when it comes to toenail clipping (his, not mine). I prefer not to have to keep hauling him to the vets. Any strategie for a lone person who want to cut his pet's toenaild? Thanks. James

Two days ago my fiance and I discovered we have mice when our youngest cat stewie caught one and batted it around the living room. We hoped it was an isolated event. yesterday we heard him scurrying in the loft and subsequently bring downstairs yet another mouse. Thus, the general consensus is...

Hey all, I'm wanting to switch cat litters to that Feline Pine because of Rowan's being so sensitive to the dust from conventional litter these days. The thing is, they all despise the texture of the FP. I did what the bag said and put one inch on the bottom of the pan and 3 inches of...

I've been out of town, visiting my daughter and her family, and attending my granddaughters university graduation. . . that's the good part. My daughter's cat, Cleo, started peeing in corners of the room with her litterbox, and on the rug in the foyer. This may have started when they acquired a...

My cat is driving me crazy with its vocalization. It wants out, and we're trying to make it an indoor cat. That's the short story. Anyway, I know they do prescribe things for cats. Does anyone have experience with these medications? Do they help relax the critters so they can relearn behaviors?

With the vet's approval, Milo is going to become an indoor-outdoor cat starting a few weeks from now. So of course I'll be applying Frontline. The local Petsmart wants $60 for Frontline -- or, rather, that's the price marked on an empty shelf. I expect I can do much better by ordering on...

I went to visit the kitties for lunch today, and while I was eating a Twinkie, Elwood seemed to be really interested. He was pawing at it, and trying to steal it out of my hand!! Are Twinkies dangerous for cats? No, I am not going to make it a regular part of his diet, but am wondering if a...

Not really bragging, some people spend lots more in other ways on their pets. I like to spend at the front end. Purina is enforcing their ban against selling Veterinary Diets Oral Care without a prescription. So $44 is the black market price for a $32 bag. What other food/treat options are...

My 2 year old cat frequently squats but does not pee. My vet has told me this is behavioral, but I suspect it is something more. She has other clearly behavioral problems with the litter box--peeing over the edge, holding her pee until I am at home, peeing on rugs--but I am worried this is an...

Hallo, a few days after paying a deposit for 2 Begal Kittens, I found the following: They are confused as to whether they are wild or domestic and typically have horrible medical problems. The most common in Bengals (it is more common to have it than not) is irritable bowel disease, which...

Anyone had a cat with this? What did you do and how long did it take the cat to get going again? We've (we and the vet) been working with one of our cats for 3 days now. I feel so sorry for the cat. Rhonda

My girlfriends cats suddenly (today) began displaying weakness and lack of coordination (wobbly walk) in the rear legs. Her eyes were divergent, and the pupils were very narrow. These symptoms are intermitent--it happened twice today. Otherwise, she's fine, she eats and is in a good mood. Of...
