Well I finally got the results back on my Elvis today. He has non-regenerative anemia. All his kidney functions, etc are good, though and he tested negative for leukemia, FIV (both of which he had been tested for years ago) and heartworm. He has every symptom of the hyperthyroidism except...

Hi. Is dry cat food good enough, or do they need canned food too? I don't mean the cheap dry food. I mean Science Diet or Iams. Thanks. Lewis Lang

And don't trust any vet that will do it any different. Money suckers. Glarb has spoken.

We have a kitten at the shelter, about 4 months old. She's been with us about three weeks, and has had a URI she just can't seem to shake. Kitten has been on Clavamox and was started on Zeniquin this past week. I can't remember if she's been vaccinated yet, I know we held off because of the...

Hi all. I have "inherited" a lovely 3yr old neutered male tabby. Wonderful guy, except he insists I get up at 3:30 AM. Not to feed him, just to play. If I lock him out of the bedroom he just screams until I get up. Anyone know a way to reset this cat's internal clock? Thanks in advance, Sleepy Jim

Hi, My Cat has had his toe amputated, 4 days ago, due to recurring infection, the bandage was removed yesterday by a nurse, she said his paw looks ok, I thought she should have put on a fresh bandage but she insisted it would not be necessary. Now the cats paw has swelled up and he is limping...

My mom's cats who notoriously do not like any canned food really like the new Meow Mix packets. So out of curiosity I looked at ingredients today while at the store. EVERY flavor, whether touted as chicken, beef or whatever, the first two ingredients are Tuna and fish. So really, all of those are...

We recently moved from a house (Oct 04) to an an apartment until our new home is built. Thus our cats can only enjoy the outdoors on our deck overlooking the apartment complex. Prior to this, our cats were free to roam out in the backyard several hours a day and then return to house as they...

My neighbor, lamentably without Internet access, so I'm asking for her, thinks her cat has a cold! For a couple days her cat has been sneezing. She *did* take him to be groomed on Wednesday and didn't wrap the carrier in a blanket. If a cat *can* catch a cold, what home remedies are there? Thanks!

Is there a trick? Yesterday I took pictures of Buddha lying in the sunshine on the back of the couch in the front room and they are all so dark you can hardly see her. See last two photos he http://photos.yahoo.com/crazyaboutfelines. (Every morning I find her lying on the back of the couch in...

Just a quick update - my cat had a check up tonight and her heart rate and temperature were all normal. The vet now thinks she may be suffering from episodic low blood pressure and she is booked in for Monday week to have it rechecked. She's still having the potassium supplement but has only been...

Hello everyone: I have a fat cat who is the sweetest guy--here's a picture of him: http://www.aegeanhills.com/Special/petEntries.html His name is Eggbert and you can see him halfway down the page. He has been diagnosed with diabetes and is being treated. My husband gives him insulin 2x daily--three...

My 2 year old Maine Coone doesn't purr out loud. Just a slight rattle if I put my head to his body. Is this normal for this breed? Any ways to get him going if I can?

Hi Everyone Thanks for all the advice in response to my questions about Bengals and Maine Coons. I've decided on a Maine Coon, and am in the process of selecting a breeder (and especial thanks to Orchid for the excellent article on how to go about this). Cheers Bruce

There's no way in hell any cat that size allows itself to be held by the scruff of the neck THAT long without inflicting enough damage on that guy to more than match all that Ragu on the floor in volume. PLUS, those bites and scratches are instantly infected. Laughed like hell, but we gotta admit...

Near where I live they've just found a house where a middle-aged woman was hoarding cats. They found 134 dead cats in the house; 25 live cats are being cared for at the Cat Clinic, the vet facility where I adopted my guys and take them for care. There's a picture of a couple of the cats rescued...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6939362/ Sorry I didn't quote the text, it was hard to grab with all the graphics. Why does the headline have to say "Cat Box Infection"? I'm guessing the woman got it from the undercooked eggs. This issue really gets to me, as a pregnant woman with 6 cats. --

Hello Cat-People, Ok here is the scoop, need your advice/ experience. I have 2 resident cats. I just took in a third. Things have been going along very well, no conflicts, hissing, anything whatsoever. In fact one of the resident cats was really bonding with the new guy, always in the vicinity...
