According to the vet, they hydrated him with liquids and gave him some medicine that is supposed to work over a two week period but I'm concerned since he refuses to eat anything at all, is losing weight and is very listless. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of trying to feed him with a syringe...

We just had hardwood floors installed throughout the upstairs of our home, and will do the same to the downstairs in a couple months. We previously had carpet. Seven cats live here. Yes, I understand cats are nocturnal and I've gone along with them jumping in and out of bed with us, etc. But now...

Thank-you. That was most informative! -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time.

Or at least very, very near-sighted. At 16, I guess that's not all that unusual. She's been to the vet recently and is in great health otherwise, so this isn't the result of an illness, just age. She doesn't seem to be bothered by it, the only reason I noticed is that she doesn't look me in...

I had a carpet cleaner come by today to see about cleaning some pee stains from the carpet. He had some sort of metal rod with two sharp points on the end. When he stuck the points in the pee stains, the rod beeped. This, he said, indicated that the stains were all the way through to the padding...

Thank you so much for the advise! I did call another place and they told me to try wet food. He is drinking a lot of water and his cat milk, so he's ok in that department. He did eat some but not as much as I had hoped and so far he has kept it down. He's also sleeping a lot! I do have a nephew...

There was one query last week, which I can't find. Eli is the 14 year old black cat who suddenly stopped eating. Vet cleaned teeth, did all manner of blood tests and X-rays. He's in good humor, affectionate, but just won't eat. S.O. gets him to lap up a little Boost, and sometimes lick some beef...

Hi guys. Hoping to get some helpful info, as I usually do here. First, I am taking Jack to the vet, but in the meantime, I am posting here. Jack is my 6 year old, slightly overweight beauty. The other night, Saturday I believe it was, I felt what appears to be a lump. It is inbetween his right...

We have a Manx long hair cat, Fred. I noticed that he is losing hair in a spot on his back hip. I thought that it might be mange ,but there is no scaling. Does anybody have any idea what is going on?

I have a 12 month old cat, Gizmo, who has had an URI since I found her and her siblings at two months old. When I recently took her in for her 1 year checkup, the vet said that these cats have feline herpes and possibly calicivirus and that in this case, they were viral infections. The vet also...

Can you at least call the vet to consult? I've done that, of course. But without seeing the cat the vet doesn't want to give any advice. Vern

Hi all, Can anyone explain the peculiar effect certain noises have on my 2 moggies? In particular it happens with the ringtones on my mobile phone, and if I whistle a tune. My female cat immediately comes running, and goes a bit dopey - chirruping, rolling around and headbutting either me or the...

My 6 month old kitten, Chablis, has gone through a REAL growth spurt in the last month or so. She was adopted from a shelter (&was scrawny & unhealthy when I got her). Is a tuxedo black & white, med hair, has curled fur extending from her ears (like a lynx) & has very long, slightly curved eyebrow...

Hi all, So I was the one that posted about my recently neutered 1 and a half year old male that would not stop howling and meowing. So he is now boarding at my work (vet clinic). Today we let him out to walk around the clinic ... first of all, whenever he found himself alone, he would start to...

Any suggestions about how to judge whether a cat sitter is good or not? I've interviewed a few, they seem nice. One does it after work, the other is full time, plus she has references (but how can you trust those). They both made cooing noises with cat and seem fine - I just saw baby-sitters...

Dear cat lovers: If you can help and give some tips or information related to flying with cat .. My cat is a female about 3 years old. She will travel with us, flight time about 5 hours (in Canada). We have about 30 days to prepare for the trip. Thank you in advance, Wojt
