He's never away from home and although he survived being...

    cat specialist? is there such a thing?

    Hi Everyone, Just throwing something out here to see if anyone's cat has experienced this. About 9 months ago my cat would wiggle his back leg when I would pet him on his face. I thought after all these years I'd found his "tickle spot". That was cute for a while, till he started shaking...

    Allergy, itching, etc.

    My cat is having the exact same problem. he is 17 yrs old and it started with head shaking and progressed into VERY intense scratching. He'll curl into a ball and get so involved in the scratching that he has fallen down the stairs. I've taken him to 2 vets. No ear mites. The 2nd one...

    senior cat - what would you do?

    Got the pain medication... would you believe they didn't charge me for it? Also, they took out 4 teeth, but since 3 of them basically fell out, they only charged me for 1 extraction. Pretty reasonable!!!! He's mad at me, but seems to be ok, he keeps hitting his face with his paw though after...

    senior cat - what would you do?

    oh, one more thing... they specifically said on the instructions no food or water after midnight... I think that was harder for him than the food, he loves to drink out of the faucet...

    senior cat - what would you do?

    Hi Everyone, Just got back from dropping off Rambo...Talk about nervewracking!! I feel so bad for him, he was so scared... I didn't want to leave him, especially when I have these thoughts that it was the last time I was going to see him They will be doing the blood work and if there's...

    senior cat - what would you do?

    I first thought about asking if I could bring Rambo the night before (tonight) but maybe that would be more stressful for him being there alone in a weird place. I am so nervous right now... I wish it were Thursday night already... this morning at 5 am he was up and ready for water and...

    senior cat - what would you do?

    I just want to thank you all for taking the time to ease my mind and give me some valuable information. I feel a little better. He's been scratching more today and really isn't a happy cat... I guess I'm going to have to take a chance. BOOKTIGGER- Hearing about the 19 year old cat made me...
