Thanks for the replies, everyone. The cat is doing fine. She is eating again and this morning she meowed to be fed and walked. And meoewed repeteadly once in the car on the way to the vet's. The vet checked her over and aside from a bit of plaque on her teeth she is fine. He did think her...

A friend of mine has a female cat who is around 14 years old and was recently diagnosed with diabetes. He & his wife had another female, much younger, who was diagnosed several years ago and passed away soon after. They could never get her regulated, she was constantly being rushed to the 24...

A Human shelter burned down last night in Florida, USA. It is a Tragic story, & I hoped that by posting it, that some of us might be moved enough to help them in some small way if you can...? I found it horrifying & such a terrible shame too... ( VIEWER...

I'm having trouble with my 18 year old female cat only using the litter box about 99% of the time. That last 1% is getting very unpleasant! This has been developing for several years, so I don't think it's a health problem such as a UTI. She sees the vet regularly and is displaying no other...

My 14-week old kitten Fracas has still not completely overcome the illness that causes him to sneeze rapidly about 4-30 consecutive times, mostly in the morning just before I give him a refrigerated liquid suspension of amoxicillin. Fracas appears to respond positively to amoxicillin, although the...

So we took her to the vet. The oldest of our girls. Made mention of her in a previous post, entitled "silly kitty". For starters, keep in mind she's always been a small and slightly frail cat. The doctor confirmed dental trouble in the way of some gum disease to an extent of something awful,...

when my kitty no longer likes her food, canned food, she "buries" it with motions around the bowl that she makes in the litter box. i've seen cats do that before, but it's cute every time. -L

Ok, I've got this wonderful cat that has had this problem for several years now, and maybe someone here can help. He is a mixed breed, but beautiful animal. I got him from my vet when he was a kitten. He is neutered/declawed (front). He is approximately four years old. On to the problem. To put...

I have seen this mentioned from time to time but is there any proof?

I'm appealing to the wisdom of the group in hopes of finding some interesting thoughts/suggestions/solutions to a problem which has been ongoing for about 2 years now. I had raised my cat from tiny kitten stage on a sailboat I formerly lived on for approximately 10 years. She grew up to be a fine...

Anyone care to express an opinion as to how frequently steroid shots can be given without too much risk of complications such as diabetes? My Will is asthmatic. He gets a Depo Medrol shot about every 2-3 months. Unfortunately, they only last him about 5 weeks. The reason that he doesn't get a...

I almost forgot! This looks neat. http://www.collectionsetc.com/Item76291.aspx Gabby and Phat Kat were playing for a moment tonight. Gabby was stuck inside a pillow case and Phat Kat was rolling all over it. Gabby kept pushing forward, Phat Kat kept rolling. Too cute! Maybe this would make...

have it cremated or burry it? We have a funereal parlor now that does both human and pet cremations (not in the same machine). And also a cemetery is starting a place for cremated pets near the human owners......I like that idea. With regular pet cemeteries.....it may not always be a pet cemetery....

You may recall that I posted a message regarding my 16 year old cat that began limping. He's still limping and I've scheduled an appt. for tomorrow to have xrays taken (which is the only day this week the vet can do it because of Thanksgiving this week). This makes me nervous enough because the...

I posted some time ago about moving cats from Europe (Germany) to the US and got many helpful replies. It has taken longer than initially expected but finally we will be moving in three weeks. This cat move is costing me a fortune (about 1K USD -- a lot of money for us these days) and everybody...

Our 12-year-old cat developed diabetes suddenly. He's now on Glipizide. How critical is the dosage size? This cat's behavior now is not anywhere near his original kittenish feistiness. -- Charles Packer http://cpacker.org/whatnews mailboxATcpacker.org

My house sits atop 3 foot piers making a crawl space the size of the entire house's floor plan - 1200 sq ft. For a time I allowed him down there (thru a special cat door) so he could have fun playing in the dirt and catching small lizards and gecco's. (He's an indoor cat) He took to preferring...
