    new cat is hyper-aggressive with old cats

    Yup, all three cats are fixed. Thanks for your reply--I really hope he does calm down in a couple of months. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

    new cat is hyper-aggressive with old cats

    First of all, sorry for the long post! My fiance and I took in a 10-month old male stray a couple of months ago, and at the beginning, he got along pretty well with our existing cats - a 4 year-old fat orange male and a 3 year-old tiny siamese female. We probably introduced them much too soon...

    Matted outdoor stray

    Thanks for all the tips! I'll get a steel comb this week and hopefully that will help. I'll also look into a mat splitter (although I have no idea what that would look like or what it does!) On a happy note, a friend from out of town visited me this weekend, and she fell in love with the cat...

    Matted outdoor stray

    First some background: A very friendly, and very drooly stray kitty recently decided to make our patio her permanent home. My boyfried and I have been feeding her, and we've rigged up a tarp over part of the patio with a couple of cozy sleeping spots underneath. She spends the nights under...

    chronic phlegm/throat clearing

    My orange tabby, Buho (18 months), seems to have a chronic phlegm problem. Sometimes he'll make gurlgy sounds just like a person when they try to clear their throats, and then he'll swallow a few times and be back to normal. He also often has a very loud, phlegmy/gurgly-sounding purr. (The purr...

    Kitty Sneezing

    Both my cats had URV when I brought them home from the shelter, and the vet suggested putting them in a room with a vaporizer/humidifier. I think it really helped clear their sinuses, so it may be worth a try. Good luck!

    Anyone heard of "Snappy Tom"?

    Ok, I've done some research, but there's not a lot out there about this product! Apparently Snappy Tom was originally made by an Australian seafood company called Safcol. It was recently bought by a Tropical, a Malaysian seafood corporation, who have plans to market Snappy Tom worldwide. “Our...

    Anyone heard of "Snappy Tom"?

    It's a wet food in those little tear-open packages and I've only seen it sold at Safeway here in Canada. It consists of what seems to be almost entirely raw fish and comes in flavours like "salmon and tuna" or oceanfish filets" and my cats both love it! I don't give it to them very often though...

    Fat cat, skinny kitten.

    I'm new to this forum, but I figured you folks would have some good advice... I have two lovely cats: a chubby orange 18-month old (Búho), and a scrawny, hyperactive 5-month-old siamese (Ichiro). (I'd post a picture but I'm not sure how!) They both get a mixture of wet and dry food twice a...
