Hello, My wee male cat has had a blockage in his uretha. Took him to vet and he had to be kept in to have a cathater inserted and stayed overnight, he now has to stay in another night so that they can make sure he is peeing ok when cathater is taken out. I dont have pet insurance. Anyone any...

A friend on another group has a cat that may need medical attention, but cannot afford a vet. I have suggested the local vet schools and the ASPCA as possible places that might help. Were there any other suggestions I might make? The symptoms are that the 15 year old has started urinating in...

Tonight I noticed something slightly amiss with my neutered male's rear. Nothing major, just more 'obvious' somehow. I checked and see there was some rawness to the side of the anus. I thought to myself "ok" maybe just some odd injury, etc. But when checking further, there's a largeish hard mass...

I have a cat named Sushi. He's part siamese and part I don't know, haha. He's about a year old. I got him when he was a kitten. He was kind of wild at first, and I eventually tamed him to be a housepet. I had him and his sister. The sister warmed up much faster than he did. It took him awhile. They...

I'm posting with a problem that's caused so much pain for me I don't know how I've managed these past few years. I have a 14+ year old former feral I inherited when she was already older than 10 and whom I tried to domesticate. I succeeded partly, but only partly. My little angel never got over...

I picked Tiger (almost 15) just before and had her laying on her back in my lap. I looked at one of her front paws, and her claws (the three middle ones) were really big & thick. They were very curved and looked like they were digging into her pads. After a minute or two of freaking, I decided...

Last Saturday, "Spitty", our 5.5 year old 20 lb. male tiger threw up a half dozen or so times. Several of our other cats had thrown up over the last few days, so we didn't have a major concern. On Sunday, he threw up a few more times, but drank a little and seemed to be lethargic, but otherwise...

Hi everyone. I have been posting on here for a month now every since my cat blocked a month ago, but things are still going a little weird in the litter box. He is having no trouble at all urinating, peeing like a champ really, but when he does go, he does this strange thing with his head and...

Our rescue litter left yesterday for PetSmart to find their forever homes. This prompted a marathon clean up the kitty litter they scattered everywhere session. I must have really gotten into the swing of things because I decided to scoop the big guys litter while I was at it (a task that I...

Hello there all. I haven't been around for ages & do apologise if this subject has been covered before. We have a female cat that we bought from Cats Protection League about a year ago - she was one of 14 cats rescued from a lady suffering with Alzheimer's & she is the most affectionate cat I...

After transporting Chloe (cat) to the Vet I have discovered that our car (Citroen C3) has a passenger airbag which can be temporarily disabled as when using a baby seat on the front passsenger seat. Other cars have this system. The carry box is restrained with the seatbelt. Should I disable the...

Our two year old cat Bootsie is in the hospital tonight. I noticed something was wrong when Bootsie did not come down stairs Saturday morning to play with the other cats or to peep out the window. I didn't think much of it at first as some times she'll squabble with one of the other cats and hide....

I have a unique problem. I was given a 5 year old neutered female cat from a relative who got remarried and his wife is allergic to cats. He warned me that she was very timid (she used to be feral but did move into his house and he did befriend her.) I already have a cat...another female three...

I'm still shaking about this. My 5 month old foster kitten Ana, the one who has PSS and had seizures, nearly died today. I'm here on the computer and I hear all this banging around coming from the basement. Not really concerned, as I have 7 cats in the house right now and there's always some type...

Hi, My 4-yr old spayed female tabby got outside over Thanksgiving weekend. We don't know how because she is very, very timid and hides whenever we have company which we had over Thanksgiving. The weather then was unseasonably mild. In fact we didn't know she was missing (because she hides so much)...

Hi I've found this NG in the hope someone has come across this problem and may be able to help. Before I start I have to explain that the cat in question has had medical treatment, including an hour in an oxygen tent and an overnight stay in the vet clinic. she is now on steriod treament, but the...

I have an 18 year old cat who has, along with me, been howling for six months since her sister died. A healthy feral cat at my community garden had kittens and I want to adopt one (it has cured my howling). I'd like to know all the possible diseases, worms, and so on that might be a problem, though...

I work in a bookstore, and on Friday I noticed that Harriet was checking out the litter box a lot, but wasn't really going. I came to work on Saturday, and saw that she was going from one box to the next and trying to go unsuccessfully. Today (Monday) when I got to work Harriet was hiding. She...
