So a few days ago, I was playing with my kitty, just the norm.. scratching him, rolling around with him.. you know! Anyways, he walked past me and I noticed that the area around his butt (probably like a 2inch x 2inch area) was not right. So we ended up taking him over to the sink and just...

Hello, Thanks everyone for the helpful tips in all of the posts. I hope you can offer some to me. My cat is about 13 years old, a female indoor cat. Until about 5 years ago she traveled by plane about once per year-- we used sedation and she was small enough to carry on in a carrier. She has...

I came home this evening to find Celia running around terrified with a plastic grocery bag around her middle. No clue where she picked it up--I try to bring home paper bags and toss any plastic bags I do get. After I was finally able to catch her, I noticed she'd peed on herself :( When I was...

Hello all, I'm having trouble tracking down information online about my cat's symptoms, and I stumbled across this forum and thought somebody here might have some advice or information. My 3-yr. old female cat, Mya, was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) last December. Since then,...

There has been a setback in Blossom going to her new foster home. The foster mom thinks she has ringworm in the home, and doesn't feel ready to take Blossom in at this time. We do have a back-up plan, not as great of a foster home, but still OK. I probably won't be posting much here. Take...

www.bluebuff.com Has anyone tried this food? Just saw it appear at the local pet food stores, and it sounds like a decent food. I'm awaiting a reply from the company with a detailed nutrient analysis, but in the meantime.. Jon

I can't recall where I heard this, but I'm wondering if it's an urban myth. Our new adoptee, Chloe, has blue eyes, and seems to have poor vision. She can see well enough to get around, but doesn't track things very well, and sometimes misjudges distance. Do blue-eyed cats have poor vision? BLink

Hi All, My cat is having some sort of obstruction (presumably a some sort of foreign body) in her stomach and vet is having tough time flush it out. She just had iv today since she has been vomiting every so often and she has not been eating or drinking for a few days. Now, the option we have a...

Hi all, I have a 2.5 year old cat that I got as a kitten from the shelter when she was a few months old. I've lived at the same place during the time I've had her, so she is pretty used to it and defeinetly thinks she owns the place, even getting "mad" when I clean & vaccumm -- kind...

My cat is about 4 years old and we have never had to leave her alone. We were always able to find a cat savvy friend to live in our home during our vacations. Until now. We are leaving for two weeks and trying to decide what would be best for her. Options as I see them: 1. Board her at some...

I have this black/grey feral cat that sometimes lives in a clump of bushes at the end of my driveway. Everyone in my family has seen a glimce of him run off as we pull in to the drieway. One day, I was in the drive washing the car and I spotted him under the bush. I decided to adopt the cat by...

It's so weird. My beloved cat, Hobbes, has this clicking sound when he walks. He's not limping at all and continues to run and play as if nothing is wrong. But this clicking sound is emitting from his left paw (arm). It kind of sounds like a bone clicking and has been around for about 3 weeks...

This former feral who decided that she was a picky eater after I trapped her, and fed her food that didn't come out of a garbage can, ate some canned food in front of me tonight! After her first several months here, she wouldn't eat canned, and pulled her fur out in protest (she's easily stressed...

Two years ago today I trapped this little wild girl. I was trying to trap her and another cat that I discovered after finding my trash can broken into. It was the snowiest winter we've had in MD in a long time. I kept seeing little paw tracks and started putting out food. And an insulated box for...

Up until now, every time Bonnie had to go to the vet it was the county clinic (shots, spay, etc). I've been dreading having to take her to a real vet visit but the day finally came. She was having problems urinating and this morning she cried while in the box so I called the vet and they fit us...

I used the technique that I knew would work for today, getting her in my bedroom, shut the door and remove the mattress and box spring from my bed so she couldn't hide. Quick and painless. She had the worst "Oh ****!" look on her face when I pulled off the box spring and exposed her, though. But...
