Thanks guys ill try all of this. The medicine is called panacure. My main problem is that though those are good ideas I just can't control him! I can't even wrap him in a towel. He squirms away! He hates being touched/handled in any way---not to mention manhandling him to force medicine on...

My cat is sick and needs to take liquid medicine and it is actually impossible to make him take any! I just don't know what to do anymore. He needs the medicine to get rid of a parasite. If you guys can give any tips on giving liquid medicine to cats or your own experiences that would be so...

Thanks very much! I will try all of this!

My cat just decided he liked my carpet material more than the litterbox material, so we removed the carpet and now have no issues. Maybe just make the laundry box not accessible to your cat so it's just not an option. My cat is also sort of anxious so we put a feliway diffuser in the room...

My poor baby has had this parasite, Giardia, for over a year, plus possibly tapeworm. So I just wanted to know if anyone else's cat has had this parasite and can share their experiences. It's so frustrating. We tried the medicine for Giardia (and that was near impossible to shove down his...

Thanks, interesting article, though it seems to suggest there is a possible link.  

I did see that but I also read that the bacteria could effect children when their brains are going through critical periods of development in their lives.  

Ok I know it may seem crazy but if you just google it there are so many articles about it.  There have even been numerous studies on it and there was some study done in the 1970s that found that some 50 percent of people with schizophrenia had cats in their childhood.  The bacteria found in cat...

I didn't really know what forum to put this in but it's health related.   I saw an article about how having cats as a young child is related to the child having schizophrenia later in life.  Anyone know about this? How accurate is it? It's making me kinda nervous.  I guess this is more human...

Hi everyone,  This question goes to all of you who teach your cats tricks! :) So I have been trying to teach my cat simple tricks and so far have been getting mixed results.  I have gotten him to sit and to beg (going on hind legs--and it's adorable!!) but this it and I have not been able to...

I posted a thread about this before--but my cat pees all over my basement carpet.  It has become a routine: He pees, I wipe it up and tear up the carpet (since it is soaked through and ruined), then he goes a week or two without peeing, but then he finds a new place to pee and the whole cycle...

So a couple months ago I noticed white mucusy stuff on the rear of my cat.  I did some research and assumed it was just mucus.  I assumed he was fine because we had just taken him to the vet for his kitten check up since we had just gotten him.  I thought they would have told us if he had worms...

I feed them dry food also by Blue.  I give them canned food occasionally---but they don't seem to like it.  

Hi all,  My house constantly smells!  When they go #2 it stinks!  Like more than I think is reasonable.  One of my cats is also extremely gassy.  So are there changes in diet I should be making?  What does it mean if my cats are stinky?   Also any suggested litter brands?  Currently I am using...

Thanks good to know!!
