Purposely trying to keep this matter of fact, without any expressions of grief, I'm curious to know if I've covered all the bases, and what the probabilities might be, hoping to learn from the experience of others. One of my cats disappeared last weekend. The last time I saw him was...

Is Royal Canin widely accepted as a high quality, premium cat food? If it matters, I am referring specifically to the Sensible Choice Chicken Meal & Rice Formula (adult). Thanks in advance!

I have been feeding a small group of strays for some time now (don't ask how I started!). Group is down to 2 now after the oldest (3-4 years) had to be euthanized because of large, inoperable malignant abdominal tumor. The 2 guys left have both been neutered & come when I pull up when I whistle...

I got a call from my vet tonight (yes Sun.) and the bloodwork from our Fri. visit does not look good. He says she has advanced kidney failure. However, the good news from my point of view is that she seem to respond very well to sub-cutaneous fluids he gave her on Fri. We agreed on a strategy that...

Hello You have my sympathy - I have a ginger girl who turns into the Tasmanian Devil from warner cartoons when I try to give her pills - I got around it by crushing the pill into a tiny bit of honey and using my pointer finger scrape the honey from the spoon onto the top of my finger and wipe it...

Three abandoned kittens in my backyard around one of my storehouses---they look to be about two weeks old (?). I started hand feeding them the other day using PetAg KMR milk in a nursing bottle with a queen's nipple; also, I feed them a little beef baby food. I just realized that one of the...

Hi, I've been reading with interest the threads about cat food. I live in the UK and I'm finding it hard to find premium canned food. There is Denes but Murphy doesn't like it. I haven't found anywhere else that sells Hills so haven't tried that. I've tried him on Nutro kitten complete, won't...

My next-door neighbor came over last night with this question, and it is one I could not answer. Our (irresponsible) neighbors across the street have a cat who just had kittens. Eric (my neighbor who does cat rescue) found out and at least helped the mom cat and three kittens get set up in a box....

Have just been putting food outside the door, and waiting for the vet to reopen post-holiday. Any insights are greatly appreciated. I'm sorry, I have no knowledge in this area. Just wanted to say that it is very kind of you to help him and I hope it all works out for him to have a happier,...

My vet really pushes Advantage as the best flea remedy for my cat, but I worry about all of those chemicals - both for her health and my own. Is Advantage really ok to use? Are there other alternatives for getting rid of fleas?

Ok....give me your opinion.....is my cat spoiled ? She will meow at the top of her lungs...but when I go and sit beside her then she stops.....If I leave...then she will sometimes start meowing again until i return to her side. Does she have me trained ??!! And any suggestions on how to help her...

We have a 7yr. old male cat and a 2yr. old female cat. They are both nuetered and are indoor/outdoor, but mostly indoor. We adopted a female kitten. The 2 yr. female had a complete personality change. She only comes in the house to eat and pee on the rug!!!! She hisses, growls and swats at...

Does anyone know if tuna is a common allergen in cats? Since Shamrocks last steroid shot 2 months ago, his fur has grown back . He used to only go about a month before the itching started again so badly that he would bite himself raw. Today I noticed that he is biting his tail raw almost like...

My 14-week old kitten Fracas has still not completely overcome the illness that causes him to sneeze rapidly about 4-30 consecutive times, mostly in the morning just before I give him a refrigerated liquid suspension of amoxicillin. Fracas appears to respond positively to amoxicillin, although the...

I just got a cat, less than 1 yr old. My daughter who knows more about cats than me tells me that he may have ear mites because he shakes his head as if something were irritating him. How do I know if a cat has ear mites, and what should one do about them? There is ear mite ointments at pet...

I just read a book called "Food Pets Die For" and it is horrifying!!! This woman did an extensive study about the ingredients which go into cat and dog food. Almost all of the major brands include euthanized cats and dogs in their formula, as well as all of the spoiled and diseased parts of animals...

We hand rasied a litter & one kitten simply refused to eat any kitty chow or dried food of any kind. When he was about a year old, He started eating chow & now eats it almost exclusively. All cats are unique. They never cease to amaze me :-) As for starving him, a cat will starve to death before...
