My darling baby boy (12 years old) has peripheral neuropathy but not
diabetes. Other current symptoms include dehydration and (possibly

Odd Symptoms by
Nancy Milligan
My 10 year old siamese has been acting a bit oddly for a few days. He seems
more lethargic and he doesn't like being touched down lower on his back,
like near the tail. He used to loved to be petted on the back. But he

Actually, technically, animals are "it" in the English language. Otoh,
that's always bugged me & I personally use the gender appropriate pronoun -

Help settle an argument: is litterbox use instinctive (kitties prefer to

$200 dental cleaning? by
John
So I took my cat for a regular check up today, and the vet showed me
that his gums are kind of red--and suggested a $200 dental cleaning!
That seems to be quite much. Is this a normal price? Should I get a
second opinion?

lots of protein (especially meat-based protein) is good for cats.

Hi everybody,
Megan sent me a post where someone asked how Jack was doing, and I was

our local ancient transformers). Now I'm back to retry and can't find

Anyway, Jack and his clone Dmitri are both happy as clams!...

I never knew that canned food was better than the dry.
And I was happy that my cats (and all of my fosters) love the Nutro Max, but
now I'm reading from a lot of poster here that it's not as good as it used
to be.
