My cat (blitzen) has just seen to vets for his anorexia and lethargy. I'll keep it short: The first Vet was unprofssesioanl (took my cat overnight never returned calls, etcc.. ) and diagnosed him as FIP based on anorexia, one tither test which was positive (ELISA Tither showed a negative) and...

Hi. Is dry cat food good enough, or do they need canned food too? I don't mean the cheap dry food. I mean Science Diet or Iams. Thanks. Lewis Lang

Hi I'm hoping someone here can offer me some advice regarding the practicalities of finding an alternative renal diet to the Hills Feline KD. I am in the UK and my vet, and all the other local ones only stock Hills. I've scoured the internet to no avail but to be honest, I'm not sure what I'm...

Heya, Sorry for cross-posting. Don't know which group to send to.. So, got this kitten from Charlton in South-east London. Absolute bargain, only £20. Crazy little blogger. Does really stupid things. Now about a year old. But, since he's been going outside, a worrying phenomenon...

I'm having trouble with my 18 year old female cat only using the litter box about 99% of the time. That last 1% is getting very unpleasant! This has been developing for several years, so I don't think it's a health problem such as a UTI. She sees the vet regularly and is displaying no other...

Hi Folks, Our nine year old male domestic shorthair had a urinary tract blockage back in July. He had a large, walnut-sized stone in his bladder. It was touch and go for a couple of weeks, but he was strong and healthy and seemed to recover fully. After six weeks, there were no signs left of...

I almost forgot! This looks neat. http://www.collectionsetc.com/Item76291.aspx Gabby and Phat Kat were playing for a moment tonight. Gabby was stuck inside a pillow case and Phat Kat was rolling all over it. Gabby kept pushing forward, Phat Kat kept rolling. Too cute! Maybe this would make...

My cat is 5 years old. She now has no incisors, tiny teeth, between her canines on her lower jaw. I noticed that she only had 2 or 3 last year. The only cause that I can think of is the hard tarter-control treats I was giving her. No redness, no bad breath, free feed dry and 1/4 can wet 2x...

Ok, I've got this wonderful cat that has had this problem for several years now, and maybe someone here can help. He is a mixed breed, but beautiful animal. I got him from my vet when he was a kitten. He is neutered/declawed (front). He is approximately four years old. On to the problem. To put...

Hello folks. I came home from eating dinner tonight and started petting my cat when he meowed in pain at me. Upon further inspection I realized his tail was all the way down. Maceo is a year-old Siamese mix and his tail is always up flowing like a question mark. There is some movement.. when I...

I cleaned up the enclosure under the deck and made sure all ground stakes, staples and cable ties are secure enough after months of having removed the pet door (too drafty in the winter). Added a few more stakes to hold the mesh down into the ground at tighter intervals to make it more...

There has been and still is a lot of controversy over declawing. Some vets say it is okay, others contend that there are many problems associated with declawing. After reading about this subject, I can say that it is not something that I wish to put my cats through. I came across a good resource...

Hi there, My DH has allergies and it's been acting up pretty bad lately. We have 5 cats of our own, plus 1 foster who is out in the house with our cats, and a mommy cat and 3 babies in the guest room. Poor DH is feeling really crappy right now. I'm looking into some air filtration systems, and...

Background: We have two cats, both female. We have two, covered litter boxes. The boxes are side by side and both use by both cats. We clean the litter daily and replace it every couple weeks. We use premium, clumping litter (fresh step). We have two problems: 1. The litter gets tracked...

Recentlly I had to re-home my male cat due to moving. I found a home for him, but the owner said that he would hide away and only come out at night to eat. Wasn't very affectionate, which is unusual for him . Would growl if any one went near him and he had a very bad habit of toileting...

I really want to get one of these for my cats! I would imagine if someone was handy, they could make one, as they are pretty expensive: http://www.bengal.us/gymcats.html Click on Wheels in Motion on this page: http://www.fitnesswheel.com/
