Cataracts by
Alison Sinclair
I have a cat who was previously diagnosed as diabetic and was on various doses of insulin for about 18 months. About 2 years ago insulin was stopped and the cat is well and healthy. I still give him Hills M/D food partly as a precaution and because he strangely won't eat anything else. He won't...

Dry food addict. Refuses anything else by
Jane B
Now that I've read how much healthier canned food over dry, I've been trying to convert my cat. She is incredibly fussy. Only eats dry food. She does not over eat, so she is fed at will.
I have tried about 30 different brands and flavors of canned foods. The only kind she's will to touch are...

Amazon, 28 pound box of litter, $10 with free shipping by
John Doe
Now they are back at $11.78 per 28 pound box. That's about $1.50
more than the local megastore where there are usually beat up or
out of stock. Ordered another set of four. They have the 40 pound
box for a penny less per pound.

Hyperthyroid cat - kidney question by
[email protected]
Hi there,
I have a 12 year old hyperthyroid semi-feral female cat. She loves me, but she's very afraid of everyone else - so I'm trying to minimize the amount of vet trips for her. She weighs 6.5 pounds which is one pound underweight for her.
Her creatinine is normal (1.2), but she's drinking &...

dry run on having kittens by
possum
last night the cat came inside crying, licking herself,
wandering around, then went into a box in the closet
I setup a month ago. As long as I sat there with her,
talking to her, she was fairly calm. When I walked away
she got anxious again, followed me around the house,
crying. She finally calmed...

both friendly and aggressive by
bob[_4_]
I saw a cat in the neighborhood chasing a squirrel. I beckoned the cat to come
and he did. There is no collar. I don't know if it's a stray or a house cat.
He came and rub against me and kept meowing. But as I pet him, he suddenly
hissed and swatted with his claw once. Then he resumed rubbing...

Worst litter ever! by
John Doe
I was in a hurry. The local megastore was out of my usual brand. I
bought four 25 pound boxes of Fresh Step Fast Acting. If you use a
bright flashlight in the litter box area, you can see how much
dust there is. When I poured the new litter in there, smoke
billowed out of the box. Really weird,...

How to stop too many cats/kittens from driving you insane... by
John Doe
This is mainly for kittens. But my male cat enjoys chasing his tail,
so it might work well for him too. Currently, he needs the exercise.
I found a way to give my three kittens all the indoor exercise they
can handle. Basically, it's just extending their tail 6 or 8 inches
with a 1/4 inch thick...

will it hurt to feed them one bag of Friskies? by
John Doe
All my indoor cats were once neighborhood strays. But I like to feed
them better foods like Pro plan or science diet. Unfortunately,
instead of the online merchant shipping Pro plan, they shipped
Friskies. Will it hurt to feed them a big bag of Friskies? I promise
not to make it a habit.

Sterilite boxes are SELF-CLEANING litter boxes disguised as storage boxes by
John Doe
If you haven't tried them, you don't know what you're missing. They
might not come in every size you need, but you just can't beat the
fact that they are SELF-CLEANING. I think that's really cool. Talking
about the ones with the smooth cloudy clear sides. Apparently it's
the type of plastic. If...
