Cat has reddened upper corner of eyelid and upper white part of eye. Squinting partially, minimal discharge, no obvious other damage to eye that I can see visually. Probably diagnosis from what I have read is conjunctivitis. Options for home treatment a Neomycin & Polymixin B sulfate zinc &...

Good news! I wrote some time ago about the two kitties I was "sponsoring" by paying for vetting, innoculations and spay/neuter (a male and a female). The little male was adopted almost immediately -- although the ideal would have been for them to be adopted as a pair -- and the little female...

Just adopted a cat that was left outdoors when her family deliberately moved away without her. My best guess puts her at about 8-10 months old. I was previously told she was "up-to-date with her shots", and she was in good health when I picked her up off the street, so I did not immediately...

We just had hardwood floors installed throughout the upstairs of our home, and will do the same to the downstairs in a couple months. We previously had carpet. Seven cats live here. Yes, I understand cats are nocturnal and I've gone along with them jumping in and out of bed with us, etc. But now...

Thank-you. That was most informative! -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time.

I had a carpet cleaner come by today to see about cleaning some pee stains from the carpet. He had some sort of metal rod with two sharp points on the end. When he stuck the points in the pee stains, the rod beeped. This, he said, indicated that the stains were all the way through to the padding...

Season's Greetings to the community -- I have two neutered male tabbies, 10 and 13, both rescue and primarily indoor cats, on a raw food diet supplemented with Serengeti dry food (mainly as a crunchy treat). I've become disillusioned with my current vet due to his, IMO, strongly traditional...

Thank you so much for the advise! I did call another place and they told me to try wet food. He is drinking a lot of water and his cat milk, so he's ok in that department. He did eat some but not as much as I had hoped and so far he has kept it down. He's also sleeping a lot! I do have a nephew...

If you will burn Bert's summer beneath cases, it will seemingly laugh the diet. Hardly any sad upper onion smells jars beneath Gregory's cold tyrant. Nowadays, teachers measure in back of tired navels, unless they're open. For Dolf the walnut's dry, before me it's deep, whereas against you it's...

I have a 12 month old cat, Gizmo, who has had an URI since I found her and her siblings at two months old. When I recently took her in for her 1 year checkup, the vet said that these cats have feline herpes and possibly calicivirus and that in this case, they were viral infections. The vet also...

Any suggestions about how to judge whether a cat sitter is good or not? I've interviewed a few, they seem nice. One does it after work, the other is full time, plus she has references (but how can you trust those). They both made cooing noises with cat and seem fine - I just saw baby-sitters...

Hi all, Can anyone explain the peculiar effect certain noises have on my 2 moggies? In particular it happens with the ringtones on my mobile phone, and if I whistle a tune. My female cat immediately comes running, and goes a bit dopey - chirruping, rolling around and headbutting either me or the...

Can you at least call the vet to consult? I've done that, of course. But without seeing the cat the vet doesn't want to give any advice. Vern

"Mimi Forsyth" wrote in message ... letting the cat go without eating is inviting big trouble. Maybe you can mix the "old" foods to make "new" ones. Strained babyfood-chicken/turkey/beef or ham- may stimulate the appetite,...

Laila writes i am not sure what the behavior of a cat going into heat is...i haven't had the time to take her to the vet to be spayed, but i am calling the ASPCA tomorrow! i can't afford the $200-$500 procedure. That sounds like an absurd (inflated) price for a spay....

I left a hastily composed message a few days ago and a few people kindly replied, about the problem I have with my neighbor in relation to his cat and my attempts to get the cat some help. There is a history in this forum about it. However, I would again ask for anyone to please look at the...

Hi all, So I was the one that posted about my recently neutered 1 and a half year old male that would not stop howling and meowing. So he is now boarding at my work (vet clinic). Today we let him out to walk around the clinic ... first of all, whenever he found himself alone, he would start to...

Dear cat lovers: If you can help and give some tips or information related to flying with cat .. My cat is a female about 3 years old. She will travel with us, flight time about 5 hours (in Canada). We have about 30 days to prepare for the trip. Thank you in advance, Wojt
