I have 2 cats they are around 3 years old. They love tuna fish. Whenever I say the word "tuna" real loud, they come running and meowing loudly where ever I am. Now here is the amazing thing. The cats know what a can of tuna is. I did a little test the other night. I got their visual attention...

Quite clearly, cat food seems to be derived not from what cats would eat but from what humans eat: beef, chicken, turkey, tuna, etc. However, I also notice a conspicuous absence of one very popular and common human staple from cat foods: pork. Why is that? Can cats not eat pork? Is it harmful to...

Hello everyone, I have an 18 year old cat named Enson and she is doing some odd somethings which I would like some feedback on. Her usual routine each night is to jump up next to my husband on the couch and curl up next to him. Lately (past 6 weeks or so) something appears to be startling her from...

I was wondering if anyone has info on whether cats can detect cancer as well as dogs. My dog sammy had cancer of the nose and skin, and my two cats were constantly going up to him and smelling the affected areas even before we knew he had cancer- in fact - that is what led us to go to the vet to...

I usually leave for work at 12:30, and I noticed that my cat Meep likes to help me as I'm putting on my shoes around noon on the couch. It's become an everyday thing that she says hi, then runs to the door to be let out, returning as I'm leaving out the door again a half hour later. I figured...

On Friday evening we brought her to the vet because of a urinary problem, they kept her overnight, and then released her the next day with clavamox (an antibiotic) to give twice a day. Saturday seemed to go OK, she wasn't exactly energetic, but no one was really expecting her to be anyway. Then...

My cat of 14 years has just be diagnosed with Fibro Sarcoma, and I was wondering if anyone was aware if Depo Medrol could induce Sarcoma -- Message posted via http://www.catkb.com

Matthew suggested I post over here. So here is my story. After a new kitten arrival my Bengal (aged 8) stopped eating. My vet and I were pretty convinced it was the kitten causing it because after a few weeks he got very grumpy around him. Anyway to cut a long story short when his appetite...

Several weeks ago, my cat had to be admitted to an animal hospital for emergency surgery to remove bladder stones which were blocking his urinary tract. A few hours before surgery, his BUN was 70 and his packed cell volume % (PCV) was in normal ranges. Four hours after surgery, his PCV% dropped...

Here's the story. My 16 yr old cat has been vaccinated every year of his life until about 3 years ago when I read that cats didn't need to be vaccinated every year. The last time he was vaccinated was about 1 1/2 years ago, rabies last year. He is predominately an indoor cat but does go outside...

I was wondering if human antibiotics can be cut down to equal, say, Clavamox 125 mg. I have been feeding a feral cat for 4 years now, and he's finally moved onto my deck, thanks to a wonderful shelter my BIL built for him this year. But he gets respiratory infections at least once during the...

in cats with no liver damage? This is apparently the question. Talked to my vet today, and he will agree that Buddha should have Tapazole before the ratiation treatment if I can find an article that says that hyperthyroidism can cause high liver enzyme readings in blood tests when there is no...

I have two TOTALLY indoor cats. I decided last year not to continue vaccinating them (they are 5). However, last summer I found a tame but unneutered male cat outside (approximately 1 year old) and had it neutered, got it tested and had him vaccinated. He is the most loving, sweet cat and I know...
