I'm going to be staying with my family for a week or so. Gatsby and I will be driving (6 hours). My family's house has wooden floors downstairs, and I'm worried that Gatsby will scratch them up, which is not an option. I saw something called "nail caps" at petsmart today, do those work? If there...

For the past few days, as Gatsby's respiratory infection has gotten worse, Gatsby has been sleeping a lot more, playing a lot less, and seeming to become less attached to me. I'm wondering if it is because I've aggravated him while administering antibiotics twice daily, or just because of the...

Thanks! Originally, he was very withdrawn. He didn't vomit a second time, though. After about half an hour of hiding under the bed (very uncharacteristic of him) he decided to come up into bed with me and go to sleep. This morning, I was woken by the familiar sounds of a crying kitten who just...

A few minutes ago, my kitten just threw up for the first time since I've had him. It was just once. Should I worry about this?

We do play together. He's just getting uninterested with the toys. I roll the ball with him, I push the spring, ect

I've had Gatsby for less than a week, and it seems that he's already becoming bored with all of his toys. He has the donut with the ball, a ton of balls with bells, a large ribbon ball, mice, and a stand with a spring ball attached. I'm trying to figure out what the best thing for him is. I...

He's about 2 months

Well, I made that post prior to ever owning a cat. I've had Gatsby since Monday, and "be careful what you wish for" somewhat comes into play. I love my kitty, but it would be nice if he would actually let me sleep

His sneezing is already a good 40% less than it was yesterday. No nasal discharge, no wheezing. Thanks for all the help!

Today he's been pretty tired, eating normally, not sneezing as much, ect. In addition, he's been yawning a bit. Do you think his tiredness is just tributed to his body fighting off the viral infection?

Is she sprayed? I've heard that, with non fixed males, they pee on everything in order to claim it for their own. This could be completely wrong, but there may be a possibility that your female cat is exhibiting a similar territorial trait.

Yep, it was a very through exam. She felt that antibiotics won't help it because she think that its viral and must run its course. She told me to watch for symptoms, and if its determined that its bacterial, its time for antibiotics.

Thanks for the compliments! He's a real sweetheart. In regards to what happened at the vets: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=126273

Just got home from the vet, and with the exception of a small viral infection, everything is great. She informed me of the signs to watch for, and if I start to see any nasal discharge, I'll put him on antibiotics. His temp is normal, and everything else looks good!
