Hi. I have a cat whose diabetes was until recently manageable through diet. He started to lose weight so I took him to see the veterinarian. She told me that his blood sugar was high enough that dietary intervention alone wasn't going to be good enough - that he'd require insulin. I left my...

Is Royal Canin widely accepted as a high quality, premium cat food? If it matters, I am referring specifically to the Sensible Choice Chicken Meal & Rice Formula (adult). Thanks in advance!

From: Laura R. I neither particularly like nor desire children, which means that I am very fortunate not to have them. There is absolutely nothing about your life that will ever inspire envy in me, you bitter, sagging frump. People w/o children usually respond to other people in the manner...

I have a recent addition to my home (4 year old girl that I got about 3 months ago), and she's shedding EVERYWHERE! It's not just because it's Spring; she's been shedding tons since I got her (in the middle of winter). She is an american shorthair, but seems to have a much thicker coat than my...

I hadn't paid attention to the band since "Creep" but some folks at the office insisted they were some transcendent force in music so I picked up some of the later CDs. It sounds exactly like Pink Floyd. What is the big deal?

I want to order some Feliway spray to use on my cat carrier. Who has the best price? Dr.Foster/Smith has a good price but the shipping cost is excessive. -MIKE

Bought another diffuser and put it downstairs near the prime spot he's been marking. Did another big clean-up, though I'm worried that stuff has seeped down past the flooring into the floorboards. Using an enzymatic cleaner, but the animalark website suggests a cleaner called "Force". Perhaps we'll...

Did I make that ^^^ clear enough that this was off topic so that people won't be forced to read it if they don't want to??? ; Also, note - THIS IS NOT A COMMENTARY BY ME JUST SOMETHING I FOUND AMUSING! There, did I cover all bases? ...

I brought Tiger (female, 14 1/2 years old) & Otto (male, 5 years old) to the vet on Friday. I had felt a lump on Tiger's underside recently and wanted to have her checked out. I had been taking her to the same vet for the past 7 years but was never really happy with him, so I decided to go to...

Ok.... We got left this nice little outdoor black and white by a tenant in our basement that disappeared. She was quite pregnant it would seem as she had kittens shortly after. This was in April of this year. She hadn't even finished weaning that batch and was obviously pregnant again.

I can get it locally for only US$1.00 per 15 ounce (425g) can. It has a light tomtato gravy, but no vegetable oil. Like canned salmon, it includes bones that are somehow softened by the heating-canning process. Contains lots of protein, calcium, and fish oil. Comes from Chile. Just wondering about...

Hello All, Firstly a bit of background. About 3 months ago one of our two 3-year old Burmese male cats, who were litter mates, died suddenly. Our vet thinks that the cause of death was some form of cardiac disease or stroke. Both cats were best friends and played and got on very well together. ...

Hi. There's a long window above our bed which the cats love to jump on and prowl around on when we sleep. A couple of times they've jumped on our stomachs getting down, which is no fun at all. Last night one of them landed on my face, giving me some unsightly and painful scratches. Any ideas...

I know it is not the most refined question you are likely to face today, but I would like to ask the more experienced crowd he How do you treat a cat when she throws up? It has got to be uncomfortable and disagreeable moment for them. The cat I feed tries to run away from the spot when this...

To Gail, Rhonda, Joe Canuck, Phil P. My deepest gratitude for your advices on Paris, my cat,post surgery. I wanted to get the most information about how to take care of him. I should say that the Vet has been very concerned about the cat and myself. He provided me with so much advise as you all...

Two of four Camrose teens accused of microwaving a cat to death begged their ring leader to stop the torture but he refused - cooking the cat to a crisp before scrawling "You HAD a nice cat" on a wall of the house, one of the four youths claimed to Sun Media yesterday. "(One of us) found the cat...

My trick is simple: I dip the pill and my fingers in cooking oil before medicating the cat. This achieves two things: 1. the oily pill goes down the throat fast and does not get stuck on the tongue 2. the cat's muzzle gets oily from my fingers and he starts licking his chops right away, and that...

I live in an apartment building and already have a (100% indoor) cat. We are allowed only one pet in a unit here. Recently I saw a very friendly stray outside and gave her some food. Now she shows up at my door. It is also obvious that she is very pregnant. (She is so friendly that I know she...
