Two days ago I adopted a 6 week old kitten. Does anyone have any good advice on how to introduce and acclimate the kitten to my older cat? Right now, I am keeping the kitten is confined to a bedroom. I have let him out a couple of times to explore the house. I tried to keep the kitten away...

For all of you who need to feed your cats a special diet because of food allergies, etc., I found another food that is commercially sold. It's by Natural Balance and it is venison and green peas flavored....both canned and dry. No grains, etc. And it is very similar to the IVD brand that you...

I adopted an 8 month old kitten about 6 months ago. Now he is over a year old but he still doesn't respond to his name when called. I will call his name and he usually doesn't even look at me. At first, I thought he might be deaf, but he does react to other noises. My 3 year old cat will...

Any suggestions on stopping my cat from chewing electrical cords? My 9 month old kitten has taken to chewing cords. While I stop him when I see him doing it, I'm not always around. Any good tips on correcting this behavior? Thanks. Sue

You may recall that I posted a message regarding my 16 year old cat that began limping. He's still limping and I've scheduled an appt. for tomorrow to have xrays taken (which is the only day this week the vet can do it because of Thanksgiving this week). This makes me nervous enough because the...

My 16 year old cat began limping 2 days ago. He was fine in the morning and when I came home from work, he was limping on his front leg. I'm not sure how he may have hurt himself, if that's the case, but it may be that he fell or tripped on the basement stairs because when I came home from work...

My vet advised me that I probably should start feeding my cat Hills k/d. The only problem that I have is that it is only offered in cans of 5.5 oz or larger. Why doesn't Hills make their foods in a 3 oz size? I don't feed my cat a whole 5.5 oz can at one time and he's not real happy with...

Has anyone been reading the comic strip "Sally Forth" lately? The story line is that their cat "Kitty" is very sick, has an impacted colon, and requires an operation that will cost $3400. Sally and her husband are trying to explain this their daughter and that they probably are not going to have...

Here's the story. My 16 yr old cat has been vaccinated every year of his life until about 3 years ago when I read that cats didn't need to be vaccinated every year. The last time he was vaccinated was about 1 1/2 years ago, rabies last year. He is predominately an indoor cat but does go outside...

I bought a new kind of canned food the other day. The brand name is Merrick and it is suppose to be all natural, no by-products, etc. The label says that the 5.5 oz can contains 992 kcal/kg and that it provides 156 kcal of metabolizable energy, calculated value. Does this sound like a lot...

My 3 month old kitten has been sneezing now for close to 4 weeks. I had him for about a week when he began sneezing. I immediately took him to the vet but, because the kitten was acting and eating normal, the vet recommended that we do nothing an let the virus either 1) run it's course or 2)...

I was reading the feeding instructions on the can of cat food that I usually feed my cat....Pro Plan Senior....one of those 3 oz. cans (small one). The instructions said to feed one can per every 3 lbs. of weight per day. If that's the case, then my now already overweight cat of 17 lbs. should...

My 8 month old kitten has really wanted to go outside. I will not let him go outside without supervision. So I decided to get him a harness and a leash. I put the harness on him inside the house to let him get use to it. At first he didn't like it, but after a while (hour or two) he seemed...

I leave the collars on 24/7. I only take them off when I have to (like when my cat had surgery). I check often to make sure the collar doesn't get too tight or loose and isn't causing any problems. So far, my cats don't seem to mind wearing them though my 10 month old kitten still will try to...

My 1 yr old cat accidently got his tail caught in the door. The vet shaved the tip of his tail and I have to apply an antibiotic cream to it twice a day. Does anyone know how fast the fur on the tail will grow back? Thanks. Sue

I have a friend who "inherited" a cat when her brother passed away. The cat is female, spayed, about 7 years old. My friend has never had a cat before; she currently has a 15 year old dachshund. My friend is trying to introduce the cat and the dog but is having some difficulty. She is keeping...

My year old cat got into some mayonnaise that was on the kitchen counter and ate some of it. About a hour after he ate the mayo, he threw up and you could see some of the remnants of the mayo. Is mayonnaise bad for cats? I read the ingredients and they included dried garlic and dried onion which...

I previously posted about trying to introduce a female feral cat that we caught to my 2 male cats. Feral cat is about 1 year old and my resident cats are almost 5 and 3. I began by keeping the new cat in the basement separate from my 2 resident cats. My cats new that there was a cat in the...

As I posted earlier, I am taking in a stray cat that we found. I had the cat tested for leukemia and FIV and she is negative. She was tested one week after we caught her and brought her inside. My question is, should I have her tested again? Meaning, how quickly does something show up in a...
