Our cat, now about fourteen years old, has recently started having some sort of fit, or attack. Her legs give way, then she rolls about threshing and squealing in agony.

Hi, This seems to be the next chapter in the story of the foster cat, Victoria, whose litter was terminated during a spay operation. We also had a family of 4 kittens and mother in the dining room. Gradually, after she returned from the vet on Tuesday night, Victoria started to settle down. You're...

I'm trying to reduce my two cats calorie and fat intake. The Vet says they are healthy but could lose a pound or two. Does anyone have any experience with adding cooked rice to canned food? How much rice is enough - what's the correct ratio rice/cat food? Currently I am giving them Science Diet...

Does anyone really know what grass does for cats? I know that a dog will chew on grass to maybe settle a stomach and probably for other reasons, so maybe the same for cats. Our cat seems to want it regularly, begs for it. Won't leave me alone till I go get him some. I have some growing in a...

I also had noticed she wasn't grooming quite as well as she used to (but it wasn't significant, and I...

Just wondering if there was a real pet vet in here.. or.. are you all just playing doctor? And as far as *this* group goes... I think some of you are pretty cool.. but most of you are arrogant ****s. The name of this froup is called news:alt.pets.cats.health+behav So basically, you want the cat...

Dan, I just spoke with Katherine at the shelter and she says just come in and ask for her and you can take Conan. She will be there tomorrow, but she does not have to be there for you to do this. I have arranged for you to receive a PayPal for $200 for the adoption fee, your expenses, and...

My cat of 15 years, Puddin', died last week. I noticed she was missing on Tuesday, April 25, and that afternoon after work I looked for her -- under my house, under my shed, under my neighbor's house. Did not find her. On Weds. I expanded the search, looking in neighbors' yards several houses...

I have a question regarding my cat with FLUTD. My cat had two episodes of being blocked so the doctor recommended him eating a prescription food, Hill's c/d-s.

I have a few newbie questions re microchip identification: How much does one cost? What's the best (cost+safety) place to get one? I mean should I go to a shelter, or a vet, or a place like Petsmart? How big a procedure is it, is there a significant "down time" after it? Finally, what happens...

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated regarding my dear kitty, Angus! I took him (just turned 6) to the vet last month because he had been catterwauling throughout the house quite often, at all hours of the day and night. I basically wanted to rule out anything medical, figuring he was...
