I took my cat for an ultrasound this morning and unfortunately, it didn't come back with good results that I was SO optimistically looking forward to receiving. Apparently, he has lumps and/or masses spreading throughout his abdomen. On the mezzentary (sp?)? The doctor said he either has FIP...

Wellness is an excellent product and my cats like it BUT OMH has stopped shipping it. My store has not been able to get any for several weeks. Their supplier (P&P) have just started getting shipments and they are already allocated to stores (not my store however) and say it could be 30 days before...

Wow poor little thing....I'd be miserable if I were here. I would call the vet to let him know what's going on and see if there is a med you can give her for the diarrhea or if she has a stomach virus. I can't offer much help, but I think calling the vet and explaining to him that she is still...

we started bathing Chloe when she was a kitten and I think it helped her get used to the idea. Five years later she's still ok with it. It's the blowdryer (persian) she hates. Of course she only gets a bath about twice a year paige

My male cat, who is 15, has longish hair and it is prone to getting mats. This year is especially bad and he's getting a bit testy with me as I try to deal with them. He's never really been a fan of brushing or combing - unlike my mother's cat who INSISTS on at least five or six brushings a day...

I got up this morning, and he didn't join Jack in the kitchen for food. He was still sleeping on the couch, in his usual nap position. I guess he just passed away in his sleep during the night. He had very early stage CRF, so I expected to have him around for another year or two. I'm absolutely...

Cats won't stop eating dog food. Any tips? I've noticed that our cats are grazing on dog food between feedings -- anyone have a tip or two on how to curb this behavior? -- -Lost Remove the extra words to reply by e-mail. Don't e-mail me. I am kidding. No I am not.

My young 15 pound cat has started stalking and lunging for my new small, timid yorkie rescue I brought home last Sat. The dog just cowers and the cat knows he can do whatever he wants to and she won't fight back. Thus far, I have been able to stop it before he hurts her. I think he thinks she is...

what kind of squeaky toys are good for pet cats and which ones are safe toys

The new vet thinks the cats should be on Revolution instead of FrontlinePlus and Interceptor. It would certainly be simpler and less expensive, but I hate to fix something that isn't broken. The vet only suggested this because Revolution covers ear mites. This doesn't concern me since they...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/27532210@N04/ The kittens drew their mother up onto the Skyway (the kittens love it). Before, she did not go up there. I didn't encourage it, because the feral has been totally cramped (she's really weird/paranoid) by our newcomers and needs space. The male kitten...

I saw a new scratching post at the place I buy Wellness. I was totally blown away by it's look and the way it's made but I just couldn't afford it right now. :-( Well, lo and behold a new client of mine was so happy with my work she gave me a bonus to pay for the scratching post! I brought it home...

Do cats pretend they are people? Consider Anya. She is a half-Siamese kitty who is full-grown, and just less than a year old. When her owner steps out of the shower and turns off the water, she steps into the wet bathtub, shakes her feet a little bit, and then just sits there facing the showerhead...

Is there anything that can be done for a elderly cat (15+) who is constipated? Still having regular BMs but it is always hard and frequently he3 seems to have trouble passing them. He will even drag his hindquarters in attempt[ting to fully pass the stool. Any ideas? Money is a problem -- I...

Acetaminophen & Cats All should be aware of the toxicity of acetaminophen in cats: A quick Google search revealed that apparently Acetaminophen is very toxic to cats: "Acetaminaphen, the main ingredient of Tylenol and several other non-aspirin

I've heard it said once that pork is one of the things you don't feed to your cats. Now, other than that it's not kosher (and then a concern if kitty is Jewish), I'm curious, what is the reason for this? -- Dennis Carr - | I may be out of my...

Back in October 2003 we adopted a torishel cat, Female, 3 years old. From Oct until Jan 2005 she hid in our recroom in the cubby hole underneath our mainfloor bathroom. (basically where the ceiling and wall meet) By a fluke we managed to get her out of there. She came upstairs to eat and we...

I'm getting some conflicting info from googling this whole "introducing a new cat" thing. There is a viewpoint out there that a new male, in particular, will need to rassle with the current residents in order to establish the new hierarchy. Henry mostly watches the other cats, but he will...
