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...

I think I have previously mentioned that I order my cat food through PetFoodDirect.com. I use Wellness canned and Innova EVO canned, and there no suppliers within 75 miles of my home. PetFoodDirect has given me excellent service. Once you are on their mailing list, they e-mail frequent...

A few weeks ago, our cat was beaten up by the local bully tomcat. A visit to the local vet and an x-ray proved that she had broken a kneecap. The treatment was surgery (at a specialist vet). A hole was drilled through both halves of the kneecap and they were tied together with some fine wire (I...

Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. The question concerns Dufus, of course, our cat. A few weeks ago had him in for his checkup and the vet said the cretin, cratin level, whatever it is, in the kidneys was slightly elevated and put him on Hills K/D. Of course he doesn't like it at all, eats just...

Thank you everyone for your words of sympathy and comfort. This is the first time I've lost an animal (except a childhood dog) and also had to make the decision to end a life. It almost seemed easier to me in the first 24 hours. Now I somtimes find myself second guessing. Living with...

We've been having some problems with constipation in our kitty Miles but it's not the usual kind of constipation. What's happening is that the matter is going through, but the anal opening is somehow so constricted that it's all backing up between the pubic bone and the opening and not getting...

I can't hear it. Or, at least it isn't waking me up. But it's waking my wife up every night 4 or 5 times. They scratch and scratch and scratch. We've been trying the vacuum cleaner thing and that doesn't work. They still come back and scratch. If we're desparate for sleep we give them some food,...

Introducing new food gradually by the book is great, but you must be on the lookout for a gradual decrease in food intake. That is likely especially true if you have multiple cats and one of them has an eating disorder, you must keep an eye on that one.

Declawed cat vs. Non-declawed cat. Should I worry? Let me first say, yes, I feel animals have feelings. Most people like to run their mouth about me worrying too much about my critters and I have decided I can look way beyond that, considering YOU cat people are nicer although much more...

We got to kittens a year ago. We fed them Purina Kitten food and then went to what our other two adult cats eat, Iams Adult 1+ year Orginal. Well, their not kittens now but one keeps barfing after eating and we can't figure why. Tried Hill's Prescription Diet 5482 but he won't eat it (a friend...

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...

Has anyone had a similar experience? We have three kittens all about six months. They're orphaned sisters we fostered and then adopted. Yesterday they were spayed and came home pretty miserable. This morning it's the same behavior and we're worried. They're normally very affectionate with each...

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...

My cat doesn't have problems with jumping a couple of feet, but I've noticed that she has never jumped higher than a couple of feet. I often read about people who suffer with their cats jumping on counters, but I have never had that problem. She has been to the vet and the vet does not see any...
