He doesn't eat a whole lot anyway but this morning he wouldn't eat his normal ProlPlan Salmon and Rice (wet). Nor would he eat his favoirte dry food (Royal Canin #26 I think). Worse, he wouldn't eat the yellow Temptations - everyone's favorite. I was going to post this morning but instead I took...

For some weeks I have been pondering the subject of how our friends in the USA view Cat enclosures. Whether the vast majority use them? Or do most people not use them? I don't really know because the subject has never really arisen. As most of you know, I decided that the time had come for me to...

Tortle, my 8 1/2 year old tortoiseshell kitty has been diagnosed with acute renal failure. It does not appear to be related to food (she doesn't eat any of the recalled foods). Her creatinine is over 11 and her BUN is a little over 100--the phosphorus level is elevated, too--I think around 8....

I have recently adopted a DSH cat called Lily from the local Cat's Protection League. She is between 18 months and 2 years old and she really is a lovely cat but some of her behaviour is starting to drive me mad and I would appreciate some advice as to how I can train it out of her! First let me...

Dear Friends, Three months ago I took in two homeless kittens (a brother and a sister). They were doing fine --- eating their Kitty Chow, getting de-flea-ed and de-wormed, etc. They are now venturing outside and the female contracted a nasty head cold (much sneezing, nasal congestion --- all the...

My twelve year old cat, Kek, has been struggling with some kind of upper respiratory problem since February.

Hello everyone. My poor kitty has had a very dirty ear for the past few months. Brown specs are all over the inside and outside of her ear.

At first I thought it was a sesame seed and tossed it into the sink. Then I thought, "I better take a look at that" and picked it up. It started energetically crawling around on my finger. http://home.teleport.com/~guynoir/webimages/livestock/worm.JPG Some kind of pseudopod propels it from its...

With my husband's allergies and our soon-to-be-arriving baby that we will be cosleeping with, we made the decision a few weeks ago to keep the cats out of the bedroom. We are extremely happy with the decision and we are both breathing better at night (we are both slightly allergic to them). ...

Please look at this page: http://tinyurl.com/krqwr The article describes a cat that is between 46 and 50 pounds and "boasts a thickset 33-inch waistline." He eats 30 pounds of food each week! The owner claims that he is healthy, despite remarks that "he's a waddler" and "not much for running." ...

Hi Lauren, You asked about the Bissell Steam Cleaner, and I promised to let you know what I think of it after I use it. Well, I'm good at procrastinating, but I'm on vacation now and finally got around to using it. I bought this cleaner because it cleans only with water. The instructions...

Hiya, My calico and my black tomcat both go through the motions of spraying - tail straight up, twitching near the base. They're all fixed. Although Harley, the calico, did go into heat once before she was fixed. I can understand this with my male, but a female cat doing this? Any thoughts?

I thought I'd give everyone an update. I've been checking on Icarus every day and not had too much opportunity to visit him because I didn't want to interfere too much with the vet. Before I left the vet on Sunday, I left my jacket with him so he had my scent and hopefully make him more...

Hi, Our 2 year old tabby Jinx hurt himself somehow during the night and I was hoping for some advice, specifically whether we should take him to the vet. I figure pictures speak louder than words so I took a closeup of the wound: http://krystek.net/JinxCut It's on the back of his neck, and is a...
