It was a tumor that had grown into her jaw bone, and the bone was necrotic. Again, I am amazed at the way cats can hide pain. She scampered and frolicked and was her usual self even for part of yesterday. The vet said that these types of tumors are almost always fatal, and that our only option...

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...

I need to hear how you folks have managed to get a cat who basically exists on kibbles to switch to wet food. This morning I decided to puree some of Mingy's normal canned fare in the hopes that he will eat that instead of just licking off the gravy. I figure this, at least, will smell familiar...

I have a good friend that adopted a kitten a few months ago. My friend has two young children and the cat is amazing with them. The kids love the cat. Things started bothering me when she had the cat declawed. I had begged her not to do it and bought her clippers, suggested soft paws. One day I...

I just let him go. I figured he was feeling ok because he hissed at me and charged the gate of the pet porter. So I opened the gate and stepped back into the house. He looked at me through the slats in the side of the pet porter as though he was wondering if this was yet another trick. Then he...

Hi, My cat was just diagnosed with steatitis (yellow fat disease) She stopped moving, stopped eating and had a fever. Also, her white cell level was very low. An ultrasound showed the inflammation of the fat. We gave her antibiotics and vitamin E for a week. The next blood test came back...

I spilled some Comet on the table today, and Mico came around and started licking it! He got just a small bit. That won't cause major damage - would it?? Thanks in advance, - Ruby Tuesday

My ten-year-old, very overweight female spayed cat began having little fits last August. She had recently been diagnosed with hyperthyroid and put on Tapazole, for what that is worth. (Yes, that's right, hyPER, and she is fat. They said it happens sometimes.) At the time she was put on the Tapazole...

Hi all. This is probably a stupid question for some of you who know drugs and interactions, reactions but I thought I'd ask. Shamrock has an appt tomorrow night for his FeLV booster (necessary living with a FeLV+ cat) and he's due for a dental but I'm not scheduling them together so we'll schedule...

Can someone provide some assistance on how to find a home for two cats in the Houston area? This is for my son who provided the following info: Searching for a new home in the Houston area for two neutered black cats. The cats are 7 year old litter mates (born approx. December 1996) named Punk...

Last Saturday, "Spitty", our 5.5 year old 20 lb. male tiger threw up a half dozen or so times. Several of our other cats had thrown up over the last few days, so we didn't have a major concern. On Sunday, he threw up a few more times, but drank a little and seemed to be lethargic, but otherwise...

I took Jewel to the veterinary behaviorist yesterday. She confirmed the redirected aggression thoughts I had about her episodes. She explained that it is caused by a defect in a gene which causes an abnormal and extreme reaction to certain stimuli. And since the reaction is not rational, there...

I am contemplating getting my cats microchipped, on the off chance they might get outside and become lost. They are all indoor-only, one will dart out the door occasionally, but he doesn't go far and I always get him back in ASAP. All but one have on collars with name tags. The one that...

Does anyone really know what grass does for cats? I know that a dog will chew on grass to maybe settle a stomach and probably for other reasons, so maybe the same for cats. Our cat seems to want it regularly, begs for it. Won't leave me alone till I go get him some. I have some growing in a...
