I have a 21 year old red tabby cat. He is in generaly in good health considering his age. My problem is his coat. It looks terrible since he no longer takes care of it. It looks greasy and dull and it mats easily. Bathing and brushing don't help very much. Does anyone know of a supplement or a cat...

Just a reminder: This is prime mosquito season, and cats *can* get heartworms (with deadly results). I live in East Texas, so my twosome get Heartgard all 12 months, whereas those in northern areas probably need it only for certain months of the year (ask your vet). I always use it on the...

My male cat is having a bit of a problem today and I need some advice on how to help him. I'm afraid I'm going to have to get a bit graphic to explain the problem so forgive me or, if you find the topic vulgar, perhaps you should move on to another post.... He has some fecal material in the fur...

I'm kind of worried about my two month old kitten. She has this brown liquid stuff coming from her right eye. I have seen other cats with stuff around their eyes, but this is like a liquid. If I wipe it with toilet paper, it looks brown. I really don't know how else to describe it. The woman we...

I'm home on a medical leave and I discovered a momma and about 5 kittens living in my hedge. Momma is just a youngster herself and after discussing with my apt maintenance guy (and cat lover) we determined momma is a stray who has been living at our apt complex for most of this year. I do...

Hi, I wonder if anyone out there can help me? I have been using Denes Gastric tablets to cure my pets' diarrhoea - when a visit to the vet was considered unnecessary. The tablets contain kaolin and work well, but I have been unable to get them lately. I have written to the manufacturers to see if...

Well, Meep and I have been reunited for a couple weeks now. She's fine, but has a problem with constipation - back to her old problem of not drinking enough. She's getting hairball meds and laxatone daily, but she's still only going about once every 3 days. She had an enema a couple days...

I need some advice here. I have 3 cats. One is 16, one is 11 and I think the other about 9-10. I am thinking about moving from Atlanta, to Salt Lake City. Anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to move them? I don't want to kill the 16 year with the trip by driving her across the...

So the routine is that the alarm goes off at 6:15 am every day and I get up and first thing - feed the cat. During the week - this is the time I get up to go to work. On the weekend I go back to bed. Regardless of wether I am up or not, over the past month KitKat meows all morning long after he...

I'm wondering if anybody could help . My kitten who is 6 weeks old has recently started clawing at her mouth causing it to bleed. This happens usually after taking a bite of food but yesterday she was doing it even when not eating, she would claw at her mouth with both paws every 20 seconds or...

Here's the deal: Our family recently suffered a loss with the death of my eldest (16 yo) male from cancer/kidney shut down. I have two other cats; a dsh male (8 yo) who has been totally blind for about 1 year, and a female (2-1/2 yo) dsh. Even before our loss Willow (female) claimed dominance...

Hiya, Someone on a cat forum is thinking of consulting Carole Wilbourn over the phone and was asking if anyone knew of her. http://www.thecattherapist.com/ I have heard of her but I've not read any of her books. What do you think of her? -- Alison

My cat Otto (almost 7 years old) went to the vet last month because he was very lethargic, not eating. Vet said colitis, gave me medication, said Otto should be fine in a few days, and he was. The vet said that Otto's teeth were in very poor condition and would need to be cleaned/worked on,...

Well, I've finally taught the new kitten not to sleep in my hair. His newest thing is licking my face. He's done this three nights in a row. He's very thorough, does almost the whole face and neck. I think it's a bonding thing, like two kittens grooming each other. Which brings up the question:...
