Good evening: I have the following problem with my cat: He has not eaten or drank anything for all the time I have had him, which was about 6 p.m. on Saturday. He has been to one doctor, was given IV fluids, Cefazolin and a tube down his throat to feed him. The next vet gave him the same type...

Our 7 month old tabby went out into the first snow of her life this morning. More than 2 hours later I found her My husband did not think the cold would hurt her little pads. Yet, I had read their pads were sensitive. Help resolve this debate between us? karenmamo

Hello, We have two 1 year-old cats and an older stray we took in. The older cat is a very gentle fellow. The vet tells us he might be as old as 12. About all he wants to do is sniff around outside for a bit and then come in and sit on the nearest lap. He doesn't play much with the young cats,...

I recently became aware of Ragdolls. From what I've read they seem like a very appealing breed. We are considering adding one to our household but I've got a couple of questions. Our household currently has 4 cats and 4 dogs. One of our dogs who is a black lab mix of about 2 years old likes to...

Is this pill for tape worm? Upper left quadrant of greenish/yellowish pill is "D", lower right is "8". Got it from my vet, just double checking. Thanks very much in advance.

Hello, I have been feeding & petting this feral cat. It has these little (less than an inch long) white, thin worm-looking things in its anus. I kind of guessed they could be worms, but since I did not see any movement, I lost that rain of thought. Recently, when I sit on the couch, the cat has...

About three months ago I noticed a blond tabby hanging around a house down the street on the corner (five houses from me). He was in terrible shape, badly matted hair, runny eyes, arthritic and skinny. After a few days I happened by when the homeowner was outside (an older widow lady), and she said...

Recently I was transfered by work for a month and a half up north. Luckily, I was able to move in with family, and so my little Marziale and I packed up and headed up. However, since coming her her appetite seems to have dwindled significantly. She has already been to the vet here (I am staying in...

I know they are potentially intimidating, I have tried once before. What I would like to know is whether anyone has had continued success using a radio controlled vehicle to amuse their cat? (perhaps with a string or whatever tied to the vehicle). Thank you very much in advance for any experiences.

About four years ago a neighbor brought me a little calico stray she found in her yard. The kitten was clean and friendly and appeared healthy. I was reluctant to take her to the pound so I set up quarters for her in the shed. I put up signs but with no result, and after a vet checkup, including...

Hi, does anyone have any advice on re-covering a scratching post? My cats (2) have a nice post that they adore. It's got an upright post covered in carpet, a slanted post covered in sisal, and a curved part on top they can lie in. I don't want to get them another post because a.) these posts are SO...
