I am so sorry to hear that your boy has pancreatitis--and won't eat.  My cat, Izzy, about three years ago started throwing up all over the place and after vet exam, I was told that he had pancreatitis and diabetes.  Through trial and error, we found an anti-nausea med that has worked wonders for...

I am very sorry you had such a sick kitty to start out.  And I'm really, really sorry you got involved with whom seems to be a very lousy vet.  Yes, I'm sure there are a lot of them out there.  As I said to another writer, not all cats are going to get sick from Iams or Friskies or any of the...

Not all cats are going to get sick from eating either Iams or Friskies or any of the other cat foods out there.  I'm sure there are thousands who eat them every day and who don't get sick.  On the other hand, some cats are probably just more sensitive to what they eat.  I knew nothing about any...

I know this is going to sound rather preachy, but after reading through some of the questions that cat owners have posted regarding what is the best food, I would like to say that I thought I was doing the best thing for my cat when I gave him the tartar-control treats and the hairball-control...

Hello to everyone:  Regarding what causes pancreatitis, from what I understand from my vet is that it is fats in cat food that are the main culprit.  I didn't go into it much with her when Izzy was first diagnosed, only knew that the "cure" was this change to the prescription cat food.  She also...

Good Morning All:         I don't know if this will work with feral cats, i.e., Tiger, but I will pass on what I did with my two cats when I first got them as 7-week old kittens.  They were from a litter of an old barn cat that my neighbors had, and when they were brought to me, they were...

Well, my dear, it sounds like you have your hands full.  But it's so good to hear that you care enough to give it a try and the cats are going to share their lives with you.  As they say in Australia "Good on ya"  No, I'm not from Australia, I just like the expression.        I would like to...

I'm so sorry to hear that Callie is so sick.  I hope you have much better news from the vets by now.  I've recently had to deal with one of my cats being sick, and it is just heartbreaking.  I wasn't able to separate my cats, so ended up with second cat eating the same food.  Both of my cats are...

Thanks, everyone, for writing back to me.  It's great to have a place to come to to talk about cats, which I could do forever.  Since I'm new to this forum and this site, I have a lot of exploring to do.  I did find the Cat Health forum and wrote a long entry about pancreatitis.  My vet couldn't...

Hello, Everyone        Last autumn, after weeks of my cat, Izzy, gagging and throwing up several times a day, I finally realized that he needed to get to the vet.  I thought he had a huge hairball stuck in his throat or something so wasn't that worried.  But, that was not the case.  After a...

Good Morning, Everyone.  Since I get so very confused so easy, I can't remember if I've visited this forum before.  If not, then I'm here to introduce myself and my two 7-year-old male cats, Izzy and Pinky.  They were litter mates, born within minutes of each other and they have not been apart...

First question: How do I turn off the advertising? I've now paid for a Premium Membership for one year, but the advertising is still appearing?

I just signed up for Premium Membership so I can turn off the advertising. But, how do I turn it off as it still appears?

I have two cats, one, Izzy, is nice and well filled out but not too plump; the other, Pinky, is, I think, too thin. They eat the same food but I would like to put just a few pounds on Pinky. I can feel his ribs and I don't think that's right. But, I don't know what I can feed him to "fatten"...

I named my two male cats (Izzy and Pinky) after my favorite musicians: violinists Itzak Perlman and Pincus Zuckerman, who are known as Izzy and Pinky to their friends.
