Hi, all, A quick question if you don't mind. I give my cats quite a bit of catnip, both fresh and dried. A few weeks ago, some workmen started sandblasting the house next door, and one of my cats, Pi, got very spooked. He hid all day while they were there, making noise with the machines and...

Hi folks, it´s been a while since I´ve posted here last.. sorry for that, I lurk once in a while, but otherwise I have absolutely no time to catch up with everything, my time schedule changed completely. Most of you may remember me.. for those who don´t - I´m Marta, I have 2 kitties, Luna and...

My family has a 15 year old female who was diagnosed with diabetes many years ago, but the owners do not want to give her insulin shots. She has done generally well over the years, but eats and drinks quite a bit. But now it seems she is getting worse, she has become increasingly lethargic, has...

How much would a cat with diabetes drink. I am getting a little paranoid. i have measured her intake today and she has drunk about 5 to 6 fluid ounces and had two pees neither were much volume, nothing like the last two weeks. ? "Gill Rattenbury" wrote in

Our one year old cat, Midnight, loves to eat threads and string. After her first trip for surgery to remove gut bound string we thopught we Cat proofed the house. Hah! She's recovering from her second bout of surgery as I type. This time she required 7 incisions in her intestine to get all...

This morning they both pooped. I had stopped adding the acidophulis to their food yesterday. This morning I added a little bit because Amber is still on the Clavamox. Hopefully, I will use up the Clavamox tonight. -MIKE

From the San Jose Mercury News... "The Bush administration is proposing far-reaching changes to conservation policies that would allow hunters, circuses and the pet industry to kill, capture and import animals on the brink of extinction in other countries. Giving Americans access to endangered...

we have just been told that our 9year old tasha might have diabetes. I took a urine sample into the vets today and he said there is a 98% chance that diabetes is what it is. tasha has been on r/d for a couple of years now and I thought i would try her on Iams senior. This was about a week ago...

Hi everyone, Could someone please tell me what the long term effects of taking Clavamox is? I have a cat that I just adopted from a shelter who has a sinus/brochial problem (loud breathing) and the vet has prescribed Clavamox to use indefinitly. I looked it up on the net and it was advised...

Our cat Sam (large, neutered male, about 7 years of age) has recently been diagnosed with diabetes. However, we're having trouble getting him stabilised. Already he's on 12 units of PZI a day, which apparently is extremely high. Does anbody else have a cat on such a high dose? Is it that...

I recently had an experience with Go-Cat (the makers of Da Bird) that left a very bad taste in my mouth. I called them to order a couple of Da Birds as gifts, as well as some replacement feathers and another toy they have. When I called (last Friday), I asked if an order placed that day would...

I have 2 wonderful cats that happily share my NYC apartment with me. For the first time since they joined me I need to go away for a few days... 5 days and 4 nights specifically. I have a friend whom I trust to stop in for an hour or 2 a night to give the cats some company and some wet food. My...

I often go to the house of my friend where there are a lot of stray cats. The super, or handyman of the building often sets up cages to trap these stray cats and I think there is poison inside. He leaves the cats locked inside the cages for 2 to 3 days after they ingested the food, and then he lets...

I have a Norwegian Forest cat, age 7 and neutered - good tempered animal with a mind of its own at times!!! I now have the opportunity to adopt a pure bred Main Coon, also 7 and neutered. My dilemma is, will my cat accept this new comer; I do not want to traumatize my cat. Has any of you had...

Can anyone tell me if distilled water is good or bad for cats? I just bought a Drinkwell fountain. We have very hard well water. We also have a water softener with one faucet that bypasses the softening process. Which water is better for my cat...the softened water, the unsoftened very...

Because of the dental, Amber has been on Clavamox since last Sunday. To prevent diarrhea, I have been adding acidophilus powder to the canned food. They keep switching food dishes so Tiger was getting the acidophilus too. For several days now I have not seen any poops in the litter box. There...

I might go since it's supposed to rain on Sunday and wipe out the planned bike trip. It's at Madison Square Garden. No TV though. Costs $13 to get in with the $2 off coupon. $8 if a senior (person, not cat). There are supposed to be free samples of food. Maybe some neat toys. I can't wait to see...

my two cats have a facination with playing with their turds I've caught them pulling them out of their litter box. I've tried cleaning the box more often and it doesn't matter if there's just one in there they'll play with it. What should I do? I don't want to discipline them to harshly because...

The vet found an ulcer on my cat's left eye. He gave me 3 ointments for it (atropine,trifluridine, and triple antibiotic). Since I started applying the meds, the eye's pupil has been dilated all day. Is this normal, or should I take the cat back to the vet?

A newly adopted four month old kitten......loves table scraps but doesn't like wet or dry even if mixed together. Is it worth pushing the dry hoping he will eventually buckle?
