Revolution may work well on mites, bumps & no see em's. I bought a new cat tree from a pet store. The cat tree's were up next to the ceiling. I saw a couple parakeet's roosting on a tree & flying around. I took the tree home. 3 days later I had kittens scratching their ears. Little bumps on...

If your male cat only had one testicle down, then the vet would have to open the cat up to find the other one. It could be anywhere from the end of the cat up to his sternal area. If the vet was "unethical" he could have removed only the testicle that was down & charged you for it. Your cat...

If a cat is so sick, that it needs to be force fed, I use something like gatorade. For an adult cat, approx. 20 cc every 2 hours that you are awake. If you have any sort of antibiotics, look them up on the internet for a correct dose for your size cat. Use a google search. Write in the word...

What state is it in? Why was the dept of argiculture involved? Was the cat barn licensed by the USDA at one time? That would explain hoseing the cages down. The USDA requires dog breeders to hose their runs down with 180 degree water, every 2 weeks. Of course the dogs are supposed to be out of...

My boys go faster than the girls. Waiting lists are almost all people who want a boy. Some of my boys are sold before they are born. Therefore I may only have females available in some litters, because the boys are taken already.

I've given references a few times. On at least 2 occasions at a later date, the buyer was unhappy with their purchase. They then called me to complain. I was being blamed because I gave the reference. One couldn't find the breeder, (they had moved) I was chewed out extensively for not keeping...

I like http://www.revivalanimal.com for a lot of things. Revival carriers many products that are the same thing, but not labaled for cats or dogs. If there is a certain item you use a lot of, you may find something that will save you money. For example, Pyrantal Pamoate,(if you use it for...

CFA is usually within 2 weeks. TICA varies. I think it must have something to do with how busy they are at certain time. I've gotten pedigree's back from TICA in one week. Litter registrations 10 days to 4 weeks.

You can look at vaccinations for sale in various pet catalogs on the internet. Some are to be given when kittens are 9 weeks or older. Others 8 weeks or older. Many vets will give vaccinations at 6 weeks, even though the vaccine is labeled for a 9 week old kitten. I vaccinate mine at 8 wks. 11...

I would expect her to be out of sorts for a few days. A spay is a major surgery. After a week she should be getting back to herself. 2 weeks of recovery is typical.

Cat breeding season starts in Feb. in Northern states. Most cats take a vacation from Oct. to Jan.

Sorry to disillusion you, but shelters DO NOT scan for microchips. I sold a spayed retired Ch. cat to a nice young couple, a couple years ago. The cat was microchipped & registered with HomeAgain. I did not tell the new owners that. I microchip all my adults for ID in case something would happen...

Most breeders are not going to give you stud service. There is too big of a chance of the cats giving each other some bug that the other doesn't have. Not to mention, many toms can totally mess up and ruin a long haired Queens coat. In 24 hours what was a lovely queen, is a maze of mats on the...
