I just had my cat's first lion cut for the summer. With his hair off his belly we get a really good view of what his skin is like and he looks really healthy, aside from being overweight. The one thing we did notice was something akin to a skin plug (like if you feel something like a zit but...

Hey all, A cat's normal life can have some weird behaviors in it - well weird for any animal. One of my cats, Tenchi, has always had like "oh yeah thats the good spot" when you pet him and his foot would twitch or he'd feel the need to groom on the spot. My husband thinks he's still just...

I, too, have had what I thought was a fungal thing going on from the gym but it turned out to be eczema. Before that I have had a different type of eczema flare up on my fingers (often flare ups are due to stress but the exact cause and "cure" are unknown to us) What I learned from my...

Now that is a cool idea Thanks!

I'm using the adult indoor formula. We've tried the weight management but for some reason the picky kitty throws it up. I've elevated the free feed bowl so they aren't leaning over to gobble it up- it has helped with the throwing up some, but some foods she just doesn't take to. Perhaps I can...

Hi. I have 3 cats, one's definitely overweight, will eat anything. The second is medium sized, maybe 1 or 2 lbs overweight but not too bad, will only eat dry food. The third is perfect size, you can feel his ribs and he has a waist and will also eat wet or dry. The fatty will get upset if...

Well we have our 3 cats, but found a 4th upon our doorstep. We took all of the proper quarantine solutions and found no owner of the cat, but fortunately no diseases either. No ID chip, and Milo was still in tact. We decided we will have the vet treat him for vaccines and make sure he's...

Hi all First off I have to say thank you all for being such wonderful cat enthusiasts. Reading here always helps me figure what to do- especially Jasmine has ceased vomitting since I elevated her foodbowl and swear by it Recently I had to take her to the vet to get her annual shots (by law...

Hey everyone I wanted to share my photo album of Tenchi, Jasmine, and Rygel (tenchi is the orange fatty, jasmine black and white and rygel the tiny one ) http://flickr.com/photos/christie/sets/23142/ Also I have a vid of Rygel chasing a laser lol Enjoy!

You know you care about your cats more than whats going on the world when you live in Florida and find out this thing is headed at us on a CAT forum rather than the NEWs site my goodness Keepin fingers crossed here as well in Orlando, we don't need more!

In high school when our parents wouldn't want us dying our hair with hair dye we would use gatoraid! It wont harm your beauty at all and will definitely fade.. its very temporary!

Thank you all for your replies so far. It is a truly difficult decision. Let me just touch on a few points that were brought up.. As far as feeding it isn't every day, just when I can, and I do bring the food bowl back in.. I don't want ants, coons, other actual strays being attracted to my...

Okay, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place so any advice or opinions or experience you may have in this matter would be wonderfully appreciated. I'm a lifetime animal lover that currently owns 3 cats and also a husband My cats are indoor cats though we do the occasional leash outside...

Stepheng, No we've had all 3 of our cats together for a good 7 or 8 months or so.. And Tenchi so far will eat fine.. even tries to clean himself but looks uncomfortable when he goes for the butt-lick.. I wonder if he maybe dislocated something or strained a muscle. I will closely monitor him...

Sometimes my cat tenchi ends up with one eye being swollen and a bit runny.. When we had a different vet than we did now everytiem we'd go to find out what was wrong it'd be like $300. .. Not that paying money to make sure your cat is in fine health is a bad thing, but imho Petsmart\\Banfield...
