Acetaminophen & Cats All should be aware of the toxicity of acetaminophen in cats: A quick Google search revealed that apparently Acetaminophen is very toxic to cats: "Acetaminaphen, the main ingredient of Tylenol and several other non-aspirin

Any ideas where to look for an independent lab to test some cat food for nutrient content? Found a couple sites online that do FDA labels for people food, but those places are awfully expensive. Maybe I should call my local university vet hospital...? Thanks, Corey

Does anyone else have a cat who goes nuts over the smell of Altoids? I have a friend who eats Altoids. When she comes over, my cat goes nuts - he goes to her and starts nuzzling around her pockets very persistantly trying to find the source of the smell. It's gotten to the point that even if she...

We currently have two house cats that have no specific lineage... they are just your ordinary run of the mill mongrel cats. We love them both as if they were our own children (well, almost, hahahaha). Over the course of this winter whenever it snowed I noticed tracks leading to and from a hot tub...

Meghan has set me up with someone who may be interested in adopting Henry! They'll be visiting tomorrow. I need to make sure Henry's been well-brushed... In anticipation of this, I took Henry to the vet today for a general once-over as well as a butt-shave. He seemed perfectly healthy, and the...

My cat evidently tracked through a puddle of latex paint outside today. The white pawprints in my room tell the tale. I assume she licked the paint from her paws and ingested some of it. Unfortunately, she's an adopted feral who refuses to be handled, and it takes two people to give her a bath,...

I am very sorry to have to report that my favorite cat, "B-K" that I picked up as a yearling in a Burger King parking lot on the day before Thanksgiving in 2004, passed away last night at 11 PM. He died of liver failure from something poisonous that he ingested, probably last Tuesday. Cats keep...

It has been a while since I have had a kitten. My kitten is about 5 months old and I notice when she is sleeping that her breathing and heart beat is very rapid. She has been to the vet and all is fine with her - no underlying medical issues. She was spayed about a month ago. So do the breathing...

Every cat I've had has reacted to it in some way. Why DO cats like it so much? sarah

Hi Lauren, You asked about the Bissell Steam Cleaner, and I promised to let you know what I think of it after I use it. Well, I'm good at procrastinating, but I'm on vacation now and finally got around to using it. I bought this cleaner because it cleans only with water. The instructions...

I thought I'd give everyone an update. I've been checking on Icarus every day and not had too much opportunity to visit him because I didn't want to interfere too much with the vet. Before I left the vet on Sunday, I left my jacket with him so he had my scent and hopefully make him more...

I want to couch my posting by saying from the beginning that I am sorry Mr. Roy had the accident the other day. I hate to see any animal suffer, even humans. I saw a film of him training a young lion to swim. They were in the middle of a round pool that was very deep. Just the way to instill...

Is anyone of aware of any products that can be attached to a cat so that it can be tracked if it doesn't come home on its own? I'm thinking of various TV shows in which the cops track the bad guy via a GPS chip in the bad guy's cell phone. Is there anything equivalent that I could put on a cat...

Please help I adopted a 4.5-5.5 week old kitten on friday since then she has only used the litter box 5 times 2 times were #2 and 3 times were #1 she sleeps all the time her little eyes are watering and all nasty been cleaning with a warm wet paper towel I made the mistake of giving her cows milk...

I just applied a Frontline Plus dose to my cat a few hours ago. It could be my imagination, but it seems now that he's feeling a little funky, kind of like he did after getting his vaccinations - maybe a 24 hr thing. Is this normal - it makes sense, since youre literally applying an insecticide...

Dear Friends, Three months ago I took in two homeless kittens (a brother and a sister). They were doing fine --- eating their Kitty Chow, getting de-flea-ed and de-wormed, etc. They are now venturing outside and the female contracted a nasty head cold (much sneezing, nasal congestion --- all the...
