I have been caring for my father's cat, Jade, a chocolate tortie, since February. I really came to like her in the last few months. She seemed to take to me too. She has had a rough go of it what with stomatitus but the depo kept it under control. She was diagnosed with squamous cell...

So my 14 year old has IBD and needs hypoallergenic cat food. I've been giving her IVD but recently discovered the parent company is involved in animal testing, so I'd like to switch. My problem is that I can't find a hypoallergenic food that is made by a company that *doesn't* do animal testing. ...

My Siamese altered female, age 4. The other day she was in a neighbors house and would not come out. I had to drag her out by the back of the neck from under a bed. Since then she has been attacking me, and her eyes are bugging out of her head. I don't want to take her to a vet, because they...

They are hazarous to your and your pet's health: http://www.netsyscentral.com/keith/livingair1.htm From the research I've done, the best air cleaner for the home is your standard HEPA cleaner with a replaceable filter. Megan

Last night I saw the people who adopted one of Boots' littermates. They mentioned that they were just now making arrangements to get "Midnight" neutered ........... and declawed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sometime in the last month he started clawing the furniture, screens etc. They said they have a large...

I have 2 kittens to find homes for, I put an ad in the paper to good INDOOR home, I've had people call, I always ask how they feel about letting cat's outside. I've had several calls and everyone of them say they would let the cat out if it wanted out.. The last one said, well she let's her...

So now I am reading that Royal Canin hard food for cats contains too much Vit. D and is also killing cats? And that is what I switched to from canned food. I guess someone was correct - just cook chicken yourself and feel it to the kitties.

I'm having a bit of sticker shock here... Meep is having some sinus problems, and my vet is trying to talk me into getting a dental at the same time they look at her sinuses, due to the concern about putting older cats under anesthetic. They want over $600 for a "level 3" dental - that's just...

Last summer, after my cat had been staring at floor vents for some weeks, I finally heard a rat gnawing on the floorboards. Clearly, she either smelled or heard him long before I knew that he was there. I was eventually able to find the hole he was using to enter and leave the space under the...

Hi, I'm trying to figure out if one of my cats is sick, seriously sick, or just being the very definition of moody lately. first of all, I have 2 cats. 1 female short hair who has always been kind of tiny, not usually more than 7lbs, probably sitting around 5 right now spayed when she was only...

We pulled this beautiful cat from a county kill-shelter- What a beauty- with a personality to match. http://maxshouse.com/Shelter/MC_mix.jpg

Well, once again, ants have found Meep's food. We keep spraying trails, sprayed border stuff on the outside of the house, but still they find her food. This time, I think they're coming from a nest in the neighbors house (we live in a townhouse) because I can't find a trail into the house...

Hi all, My male tomcat is almost 1 year old and was neutered last week. for a couple of weeks prior to the neutering, he would straddle my arm and kick at it with his hind legs - i assumed he was trying to mate with me. for some reason, he'd only do it to me, nobody else. made me feel special. now...

Leslie wrote: I need to find a new loving home for my cat Inky. She is a 13 year old small black domestic shorthaired cat with a very loud purr. She is front declawed (no flames please). She is sweet but a little shy and skittish. She isn't happy about our crawling baby and has...

Hi, My cat Nemo was just diagnosed with CRF. His numbers were all completly normal with the exception of the BUN, which was only 12 points about normal. I am feeding him pretty much whatever he wants for now but he doesn't seem to want to eat and he isn't drinking much water. Otherwise he acts...

Meghan e.mailed the cattery and was told that Conan has found a home .. I hope this will be confirmed and that maybe we can see some photos of him. All the best Conan. -- Alison http://catinfolinks.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/ http://doginfolinks.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/

Hello, we have three great cats, two of them are brothers and exhibit the same behavior. They are about three years old and declawed (adopted them that way). They never scratch or use their claws or bite, except when jumping into or out of our laps, they extend their rear claws about half of the...

Jasmine (age about 5-6 months) has been doing some panting after strenuous exercise and so I've made an appointment to have her checked for cardiomyopathy. What I'm wondering is how is this diagnosed? The panting is her only symptom, so I'm hopeful it's just that she doesn't know when to...

My husband told me this morning that his allergies have really been acting up since Tumbleweed came to live with us. He didn't tell me before because I had loved the cat so much. I've had him at the vet's since yesterday to treat his diarrhea and find out of any physical causes of this. I bought...

My six year old cat, Delilah, has a spot on her belly that appears to be bald, but has very short hair growth upon closer look. We took her to the vet, and based on the very healthy appearance of her skin under the fur, diagnosed her with "psychogenic alopecia" and told us she was just excessively...
