My vet referred Delilah to a specialist and he's convinced she is blind (menace and cotton ball tests, looked that way to me too). He also reviewed all the history I provided in recent months from observation and vet visits and said this ties in all too well to a brain tumor. He did say a CT...

Of course, I only have anectodal evidence that it was, in fact, possum poop, but it's pretty strong anecdotal evidence. It was an odd color, sort of a very dark grey. I might not mind having the oPossum around, but I am sure going to mind having to clean up that mess. Ahem. Being somewhat...

I made an appt. for Tigger to get her teeth cleaned. I was given a range of $260 - $325. Is that about normal? I think that may include the antibiotics that I have to start her on 2 days prior. Sounds like it includes a blood panel $30-80, anesthesia $80, antibiotics $15 and cleaning which is...

Hope this NY Times squib amuses somebody. They say cats don't like to travel, I guess this is extreme feline aversion. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/11/international/11briefs.html?pagewanted=all BELGIUM: AGITATED CAT TURNS BACK PLANE A cat running loose on a Belgian commercial flight attacked a...

My full-figured hyperthyroid tuxedo cat has been on Tapazole 10 mgs (.5 every twelve hours) for three weeks now and three days ago began showing less interest in her food, which she formerly gobbled. This morning she had to be dragged out from under a table to be pilled, then refused her food...

We have a cat who has regular nails at the top of his toes on his front paws, and then a second set of nails going in the opposing direction on the bottom of his toes (curling up from the pad). The bottom set is dark brown and has no discernable point to indicate where they should be cut. The...

It's good news! Her heart is perfectly sound, there are no structural abnormalities, no "hypertrophic myocarditis" aka enlarged heart, nothing wrong at all except ... After cutting back on the Tapazole (from 5 mgs twice a day to 5 mgs once a day) her heart rate is back up to 300+. I had cut it...

Anyone know if there is a need and a procedure to donate cat CRF supplies such as a case of Ringers, some common meds, etc to a needy recipient ? Sadly, they are no longer of use to our friend but we thought they might help someone else's. Hate to just throw them out. Any suggestions...

Things have gotten worse. At 4 am I was shocked out of my sleep, my cat was on the bed having a seizure. This one lasted 1-2 minutes and was followed by a couple minutes of intermittent growling. It must've started on the floor, there was a trail of urine spots leading to the bed, she must've...

I posted a few weeks back about my absolute contempt for whoever dumped a real sweet female cat in my neighborhood. As it turns out, she now has a permanent home with the guy who lives behind me. She wandered off and wasn't seen for a few days. I thought she had been taken by a man who had...

Hi, Here in London u.k., people allow their cats out, and of course they roam into other peoples' gardens. Our immediate neighbour has just acquired a new kitten. We have been told by someone that we should 'introduce' the cat to our garden and maybe give it some food here. In this way, it will...

From: "Wendy" So has anyone successfully collected a urine sample from their cat and if so how? Not me. Did you get the container with the little crystals in it that you put in the litterbox? My cat wouldn't go near it. Finally I just gave up and put litter back in...

Ok, so I've decided to shave two of my kitties. Problem is - they are not declawed (indoor only), never would I do such a horrid thing to them! They never scratched or hurt anybody, they don't destroy the house (other then the couch but I allowed them to do that in the first place, my fault. Now...

Ok, I'll get straight to the point, I won't bore you with a long winded story.. :) I'm about (hopefully) to be reunited with my cat after an 18-month abscence (after owning him for 10 years). Simple question: will my cat remember me after this much time?
