I've checked various online pharmacies. CVS wants $20 per 100 pills. That's about the price at 1-800 Petmeds. Medi-vet.com has it for $12.00. Drugstore.com has it on sale for $8.00 I've ordered from them before and they seem to be very reputable. Riteaid even uses them for prescription...

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:...

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...

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...

Altered male, just over 10 months old, has a profusion of extra fur and loose skin on his rear underside, between and forward from his hind legs; kind of hangs down, like if he was a cow, then there you'd milk him but a bit more forward. Otherwise, apparently healthy, happy, and beautiful. Any...

Hi All, My little guy is not on of those cats I can just leave food out for. He gets fed a 1/4 cup in the am and 1/4 cup in the pm. So now we are talking about going on vacation. I have a friend who is willing to come over once a day, but if I could avoid that and make it every other day it...

any tips on how to keep cats from scratching the sofa, chairs ect? mine have been in this bad habit for awhile I dont want to use poisenous chemicals.

I have 2 cats, a boy and a girl, about 7 years old. The girl is fine, but the boy is stinky as soon as you get close to his private part area! I don't make a habit of sniffing him there, but when he rubbed up on me recently, I couldn't help but notice, and was shocked at the smell. Is this...

I have been feeding my 7 year old cats Eukanuba since birth, both are healthy. I have been researching the net to find the best food available and I keep getting the same top contenders. I have never heard of these, and would greatly appreciate some input from those of you in the know. For...

There was a long time where our Bengal Louis preferred to pee on our front door. We were able to keep the stink down by spraying "Anti-Ickypoo" spray on the door and floor. Eventually Louis learned to love his litterbox, and our house was stink-free. In a characteristic move (sorry, hon), my wife...

What is the ideal ratio proteins and fats in a cats diet? What about Phosphorous? To take one example, Fancy Feast chopped grill feast that my cat loves: According to http://webpages.charter.net/katkarma/canfood.htm Protein= 51%, Fat= 35%, Phosporous= 1.55%. all presumably by weight.

Hi, My veterinarian told me my cat is overweight and, if he doesn't lose weight, at risk for diabetes. I've stopped free feeding him, but now he begs constantly. I do work all day, so no wonder he's bored. Do any of you have cats that have grown obese through eating from boredom? What did you...

Hi Everyone, I am new here and in need of some help. Can anyone tell me if its possible to change a cats personality??? A few years ago, I rescued/adopted/took in, a male cat who was about a year old at the time. He was raised and living in a elderly nursing home where the people there would often...

The Liger is a cross between a male lion and a female tiger. I find this Giant Cat highly interesting, but in my opinion it seems wrong, if not irresponsible, to crossbreed 2 different species like this, resulting in health problems, including a high probability of blindness and...

I have a 14 year old male cat that was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism about 2 months ago. He is on Methimazole (10 mg - 0.5 by mouth twice a day). He has always been very vocal; however, his meow has become very raspy and hoarse. He eats well and has gained back the weight he lost prior to his...

Hello, I read that kittens reach adult weight at between 8 and 12 months of age. However, I have a 6 months old kitten, who has been fed free-choice dry kitten food and has now reached 9 pounds and has started to show signs of overweight, that is, when standing, the bottom of the belly drops down...

This morning I picked Tiger up at the vets. He had all his mats shaved off and now he looks naked. All of his beautiful fur is gone. He weighed in at 22.3 pounds but in this picture he doesn't look fat. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N -...
