Food questions - By reading around I figured canned is regarded better. So went and bought some. But... How many times do you feed a cat? Where in Chicago area is the best place to buy canned cat food? I was shocked by price jump at my nearby Petsmart. A small can of a

I'm about 90% sure this is the way I want to go. My cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism about 3 weeks ago. He has been on Tapazole 2x a day since then. He hates being pilled, it takes 3 or 4 tries to get him to take the pill each time. His activity level has gone down drastically, his toy mouse...

We feed a stray cat. He isn't really a stray, because we have seen him go into another house down the block. But since he has no collar or chip, we suspect they don't own him either. At any rate, he is sick. His thyroids aren't working properly and he is skinny as a rail even though he eats at...

Hi, This seems to be the next chapter in the story of the foster cat, Victoria, whose litter was terminated during a spay operation. We also had a family of 4 kittens and mother in the dining room. Gradually, after she returned from the vet on Tuesday night, Victoria started to settle down. You're...

Hello. I've posted here once or twice before about an old cat I inherited. All I knew about her when I inherited her was that she had been spayed and given initial shots (rabies, distemper, leukemia) when she was saved from the streets by my sister in 1994. One of you was *so* nice and called my...

Thank you everyone for you purrs and prayers for Angus. He passed away in his sleep last night while still at the emergency vet. They haven't been able to determine exactly what he had, but suspect a neurological problem or virus. Angus developed tremors yesterday. They will be doing an autopsy...

This is such a cookie cutter answer. Some things can be cured with bisquick and coke cola. and windex. Lord, Im going to become a vet.

I have two, and Pookie is about one year older than Bubba. Both females. I spoil them; they are house cats and do not roam outside. Recently, we took them to the vet to get their bottoms trimmed of long fur as they were having accidents in the litter pan. We got Pookie in the carrier alright,...

He's a 13yr old neutered male cat recently diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma and we been advised to prepare for euthanasia. He's been prescribed metacam in a final bid to make his last days more comfortable and we've been informed that Spot "will let us know when it's time" Needless to...

How long is it safe to keep dry cat food in a hot car? I need to get more dry cat food at the store, it would be more convenient to pick it up first rather than last. If I pick it up first, it will have to sit in the hot car for at least 2 hrs. I wouldn't think it would be any longer than 3 hrs...

I have a cat who is about a year and a half old. Sometimes when she's curled up on my lap, purring away, she trembles. It's the kind of trembling a cat does when scared, like at the vet's. Is this a sign of a problem or is it just her quirk? It only seems to happen when she's really happy and...

So, Meep had a mild cystitis attack recently. She'd continually go to the litterbox, do nothing, but without the distress and urgency of previous attacks where she had crystals and was blocked. Recently, she's lost some weight as well. Blood tests showed slightly elevated glucose, slight liver...

Hi. Last week upon returning home I found a 7-8 week old blind, dehydrated, 1lb 2oz kitten. It was below zero out and I was not about to leave her outside. Been to the vet twice and probably the states best pet optomologist (sorry for bad spelling). Apparently her mother must have been ill during...

I'm about to give up on trying to get the boys to eat healthy food. I've never had cats that were so finicky. Even the few healthy foods they liked before, like Wellness Chicken and Triumph Salmon no longer make the grade. They just look at me like I'm insulting them and Nipsy attempts to bury it...

My white cat has developed a darkening of her nose (see other post). I'm told white cats are prone to skin cancer. I never let her outside but she does lay in a sunny window in the morning for hours. The window is a double, with a storm window on the outside. Doesn't that block the dangerous...

it jumped up on a table and that was a no no according to the new owners. Good grief, what do people expect a cat to be doing? Cats love to explore and jump up to elevated postitions, it is all a part of being a cat. I hate to think what these people would do if they had a baby, return it to the...

Cheeks is going crazy trying to watch the little birds who appear to be trying to build a nest at the top of my office window. But the sill is too shallow for her to sit comfortably so she has to stretch on tip toe from the filing cabinet to watch them. Any tips on good window seats for kitties...

Sorry to cross post but I have a bit of a dilema. My cat is now 15 and a half, and although she still eats, drinks, toilets, and sleeps, she does little else. I know she has some discomfort from her lower back, and probably kidney problems. Other than that and her increased laziness she seems...

How do i share my cat photos on Google groups
