Both I and my cat need a weighing scale and I was wondering if we could get by with one. For myself, I don't require analysis of water, fat, bone, etc.; accurate and consistent weight readings would do. Good readable display etc. For the kitty, I was thinking it should be accurate to 0.1 lbs....

Hi, Have two cats. One is way overweight, the other fine. They've been free-feeding their whole lives--in recent years, dry weight-management kibble. Decided to feed less.. feed only a couple times a day and use canned wet food.

I've heard that loop pile isn't a good idea if you've got a cat, but as he doesn't scratch at the moment will start if I get a loop pile as it would give...

Hi, My original post about Meetoo was about her arthritis but her blood test came back and the vet said her calcium is high. Her potassium is low. She also has an elevated heart rate. They are keeping her overnight to give her an IV containing potassium and some insulin. I did not speak to the vet...

Has anyone seen a show on TV called Pet Keeping? I've caught it a few Sat mornings and the guy has some really good tips. Come to find out its a production of Martha Stewart. Regardless, it's a neat show. Next week the host is going to have some "sure fire" tips to keep your cat from scratching...

Poor Persians. Bred for a feature which makes it hard for them to breathe and leaves them susceptible to upper respiratory infections. Purchased for their beauty and status as a "rich person's cat", but then neglected because they require so much work. We get yet another Persian in horrible...

I trully do not know if anything can be done at this point. Figured will throw it up there, see if someone had simmilar problem. The cat is 5 years old and extremely submissive.

We have a large patio door in our living room, which we leave open all day so that we do get a bit of breeze IF there is any to be had.
