    Care And Feeding For Cat Who Had A Rectal Prolapse

    Hey. Mrs Green Jeans.... that's a good suggestion ;) Another one I read was to put parmesan cheese on top... tried that and Sashi at a bunch the first time... not so much the second... seems that she's looking for something that's "missing" I also read that dry food is like a drug for...

    Care And Feeding For Cat Who Had A Rectal Prolapse

    DuckPond,Thank you kindly for your thoughtful response... There was no recommendation for any specific or particular type of wet food. It would be insane to try to set a feeding schedule for 11 other cats... ;) they all come and have little snacks all day long.. they never eat much at any...

    Care And Feeding For Cat Who Had A Rectal Prolapse

    I had 4 sisters. One had rectal prolapse a number of times. The vet didn't tell me that it was likely to recur and I didn't have any aftercare instructions for her. It happened again about a year later and we couldn't catch her... she died Now, another of the sisters - Sashi - had the same...

    UN-neutered male beats up his sisters

    the male cat is huge and strong and, really, really sweet and loving He's about 6 years old now. He's sweet to kittens, too... however, when they become adults, he beats the snot out of them. he is going to be neutered next week and I'm hoping that his behaviour will become less aggressive...

    Can two females get along?

    I had 4 females - unrelated - for  a great many years.... at first, there was quite a bit of growling, etc... after awhile, they all got along just fine... my favourite memory of them was coming into the living room and seeing all 4 lying in a circle - like spokes of a wheel... in the...

    5 month old kitten is "Hell on Wheels"

    You are awesome... I never even thought about that Hopefully, they are going to the vet in the next week or two... None of my other cats ever behaved this way when they were in heat.... I just kept thinking about the problems she had from birth and that the two were somehow related. Will...

    5 month old kitten is "Hell on Wheels"

    4 1/2 months ago, one of my cats had 5 kittens which she abandoned after about 3 weeks. I bottle fed the kittens for 3-5  weeks One of the babies became "comatose-like" after every feeding.... she did this for about a month and finally, seemed to grow out of it.  She is also a great deal...

    PLEASE HELP - 4 week old abandoned kitten in dire straits...

    We were going to be gone for much of the day so I gave her more formula at one time than I have been for the past 4 or 5 days.... she kept "asking" for more....... and, when we came home, she was in a deep sleep??? She yawns and stretches and meows a bit and won't wake up... by tomorrow...

    PLEASE HELP - 4 week old abandoned kitten in dire straits...

    I don't know for certain. I think she does better with her siblings than by herself so, put her back in with them.... I'm going to assume that she has because she's not had any more "episodes" (3 days) and she's eating the mash along with the others... she is really strong and very mobile...
