Back when i first got them, I bought a botanical flower essence blend (Rescue Relief) for the stress of the transition, and it seemed to help. I put a dropper in their water bowl, but I also sprayed some on my fingertips and massaged it into the skin inside their ears, and their paw pads. One...

All my fingers are crossed for you!  And I knew that the Cat from Hell episode featured cats with a worse problem than yours (sometimes it's good to know your problem just MIGHT be more "solvable" )  Regardless, as you've discovered, most of the techniques are the same... I have 2 neutered boy...

Grapefruit Seed Extract  (GSE) (GFSE)  --  Part 2 There are 2 liquid formulations of GFSE on the market. The difference is in the concentration of GFSE.  The stronger formula is known as "Citricidal," which is a trademark, and it's made by a company of the same name. It's a commercial...

Okay, time to start a 2013 thread on the uses of Grapefruit Seed Extract, sometimes abbreviated GSE (and more recently abbreviated GFSE, so as not to be confused with a totally different compound: grape seed extract).  Whichever abbreviation you use in this thread, please make sure you are...

yes yes yes! -- I now have what I think is sufficient information.  I'm sorry you've had to wait.  Mycoplasma -- yikes.  I hope it's at a treatable stage.  I'm going to start a new thread for all this grapefruit seed stuff shortly.  Hang tight! (Well, tight-ish -- my posts tend to take forever...

She's Out of My Life  (Michael Jackson)

Spanx.

Thanks, DonnaJean!  I only have two boys, and I am very sure they are bonded. But that doesn't mean there aren't many, many "negotiations" going on on any given day, and in the first 5 months I had them I watched the younger, ,jaunty laid-back, purr like an 8-cylinder t-bird, start to recede as...

That could depend a lot on your raw recipe/preparation, as well as any undiagnosed underlying medical issues. Have you had the chance to read Lisa Pierson's (DVM, 30 years) website, which deals with raw food, or taken a look at www.felineconstipation.org?  (I highly recommend).  peace.

Try checking out www.felineconstipation.org  (It's a very comprehensive site about intestinal health and function--not just constipation). It explains the physiological workings of how poop is formed and expelled, and the factors that affect well-formed, segmented, healthy poop.  Might be some...

Definitely some oriental derivation in there!  Some breeds (like the Tonkinese) are all born white with blue eyes, and their coloring/point contrast doesn't emerge until between 1-2 years.  Regardless, looks like you are in for some FUN!

Different rules for kittens -- they get to eat much more (pretty much as much as they want - as long as we're talking about a balanced, complete, wet food diet).  Give kittens small, frequent feedings. Don't worry, the ravenousness doesn't last forever!  Adult cats, depending on their frame...

oops, where is my feminism??!! the first line of my last post should have added "and great dad."   Sorry!

Wow, Kealex was blessed with a great cat AND a great mom...     (which totally makes sense, when I think about it!) I am sorry for your loss of Ben. The cat-love-of-my-life turned 16 in July of 2011; he got sick in early August; despite all desperate measures, his decline was rapid and intense...
