We were recently at the Vet having our male cat checked out for some urinary tract problems, and we inquired about our female cat and if she would be at risk of the same problem. Although the vet said it would be unlikely, he said some signs to watch for would be urinating/"pooping" in...

Hey everyone, I have a quick question regarding cat food. Some of you may have noticed by the thread I posted in the "behavior" section that our cat Ross had some problems, which turned out to be bladder related with crystals forming. (http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=127866)...

My mistake, it's Prescription S/D. But yes, he is overweight and needs to lose six pounds.

So Ross was diagnosed with crystals and blood in his urine yesterday (no blockages though); he also needs to lose six pounds. We were given Prescription M/D food to feed him to dissolve the crystals. and we were told to only feed our cats once a day now, no free range feeding. Since Ross'...

Thanks for the advice everyone, my husband and I took Ross to the vet. The vet was able to pass a catheter and get a urine sample. There were crystals and blood in his urine but thank got we caught it before the crystals formed a blockage. We were given Prescription Diet S/D to feed him and...

Now I am starting to wonder if it has to do with a medical problem??? He is now going to the litter box every couple of minutes and he sits in there for about two minutes. He isn't crying or anything, but it looks like he is trying to pee but cannot. He has pooped today though. Anyone have...

My husband and I live in an apartment with a one year old brother and sister cat. We have one litter box and they have a system when it comes to doing their business; pee in the front, poo in the back. For the past couple of days we have been watching our in-laws cat (she is about 2 years...

The same thing happened to my sister's 12 year old cat after a feisty new kitten was brought into the house. The kitten kept chasing and jumping on the old cat so the old cat was hissing and meowing a lot. The old cat actually ended up losing his voice; he'd open his mouth to meow and no...

Your post is so funny, I swear it could've been written by me!!!! I have two 8 month old kittens and they are not welcome in our room at night (we've tried it and it doesn't work). Anyhow, Ross usually will scratch at the door around 330 or 4am each morning or every second morning. Since I'm...

We got our brother and sister kittens fixed at the same time (at about 5 months of age). Ross was back to normal after a day and wanted to play with Monica, she didn't want to play and eventually ended up hiding on him! Monica ended up having to wear a cone because her incision was infected...

I recently bought my kittens a bag full of toys from PetSmart. The bag was full of balls, balls with bells, mice and these little plastic toys with a feather attatched and a bell in it. Well, of all those toys the only ones we can find are a few balls and the mice, the rest are gone. My...

We use a litter similar to feline pine. We got a scoop that has really big holes in it so when we scoop out the poo the pellets still fall through. We then flush the poo down the toilet. If it sticks to the scoop a bit we just swirl the scoop around in the toilet until it cleans off. Hope...

Our twins are about six monthes old and they are not allowed to sleep with us! We tried when we first we got them (at about 8 weeks) to have them sleep with us, I almost cried at the idea of locking the little babies out of the room. However, after about two weeks of little sleep your attitude...

To be honest, I just thought the incision looked redder than when she first came back from the vet. If it is infected I don't think rubbing anything on it would help, she probably needs antibiotics. If your cat is really hyper I don't know if I would let her of the bedroom. Running and...

This may be a dumb question, but did the vet use any stitches or is it just glue? My kitten had a few stitches but no glue. We tried to keep her from licking her incision (it was hard to do), she ended up undoing a stitch. Even though she didn't lick it that often it did end up looking red...
