Hello folks. I came home from eating dinner tonight and started petting my cat when he meowed in pain at me. Upon further inspection I realized his tail was all the way down. Maceo is a year-old Siamese mix and his tail is always up flowing like a question mark. There is some movement.. when I...

I cleaned up the enclosure under the deck and made sure all ground stakes, staples and cable ties are secure enough after months of having removed the pet door (too drafty in the winter). Added a few more stakes to hold the mesh down into the ground at tighter intervals to make it more...

My 14-week old kitten Fracas has still not completely overcome the illness that causes him to sneeze rapidly about 4-30 consecutive times, mostly in the morning just before I give him a refrigerated liquid suspension of amoxicillin. Fracas appears to respond positively to amoxicillin, although the...

Its a strange way to start a topic but I guess I'll start from the day I bought Leo. I didn't mean to buy another cat considering that my last one only lived for two years but I just couldn't resist him. He's a ginger tabby and I've had him since November last year. He's five months old now. When I...

So we took her to the vet. The oldest of our girls. Made mention of her in a previous post, entitled "silly kitty". For starters, keep in mind she's always been a small and slightly frail cat. The doctor confirmed dental trouble in the way of some gum disease to an extent of something awful,...

when my kitty no longer likes her food, canned food, she "buries" it with motions around the bowl that she makes in the litter box. i've seen cats do that before, but it's cute every time. -L

Friends of mine have a young male cat, around a year old, who managed to do something to his tail in their apartment last week. They said he was acting fine but one of them noticed his tail looked odd. They brought him to the vet the next morning and it turned out he hurt his tail really bad. I...

Hi all. I have a 11 week old kitten called Darwin. I adopted him 3 week ago. Every morning he tares around the house and "attacks" his scratching post (which is good). All of a sudden this morning I noticed he never used the post but attempted to use the arms of my couch. Any reason why he would...

Hello, I would be grateful if people could give me some advice. 1. I am shortly to adopt a couple of kittens and would like to allow them and me the luxury of a Littermaid ("self-cleaning" tray operated by an electric eye). However, maybe the Littermaid is too deep for a kitten to get in and...

Anyone care to express an opinion as to how frequently steroid shots can be given without too much risk of complications such as diabetes? My Will is asthmatic. He gets a Depo Medrol shot about every 2-3 months. Unfortunately, they only last him about 5 weeks. The reason that he doesn't get a...

Yes both of my black cats have this same problem, but I dont' know what to do about it, either so I can't be any help, hopefully someone else will read this and know the answer!! I don't brush them, though...they are...

Looking a gift horse in the mouth, I asked how they can afford to ship 40 pounds of litter for $16. This is Chewy's response, probably not meant to explain anything. "FedEx works just as hard as we do to make sure all of our Chewy family members are happy with their orders. The specific costs...

Berry: A compelling case for premium pet food By Julie Berry Today's question is for conscientious pet owners. Why buy kibbles at $40 per bag as opposed to $5? Why pay eight times more for food pets like less? I usually feed my cats pricey, "scientific," hard-to-find cat food which they receive...

Hi there- I have a 17 year old cat who has never lived in an apartment with carpet. We are moving to the East Coast and it seems like all the places have carpet. So what can I do to keep him from scratching it up, or worse, peeing on it. I thought about putting down an area rug to protect their...

Have a kitten that is 5 months and she pants when she plays too hard. So I read up and got concerned about HCM. Took her into the dr's and did a chest xray - nothing out of place. Just did the ECG and they don't see anything wrong with her heart. But they mentioned that it could, maybe, possible...

Hi all! A friend of mine has a cat with a broken front leg. Cookies has been in a cast for a few weeks, but the vet just checked her out again and the leg isn't getting better. The vet says the problem is that Cookies is still running and jumping around and putting weight on the foot. The vet...

The sides are pretty tall, but they can jump. Seems they already prefer the huge 100+ quart Sterilite box for a litter box. I was using one of those grocery store style maroon litter boxes (Hartz I guess). Had to clean the sides every few days. I guess that proves it stays clean not because of...

I am depressed and in need of advice about a urinating cat! I adopted a male neutered Balinese/Siamese mix a year ago. He is now about 3 years old. The reason he was given up was because "the boyfriend didn't like cats." When I brought him home, I placed him on my bed and he began to urinate on...
