    Just adopted two cats...one is overweight. How to handle food.

    Darn...I was hoping for a different answer about the food.  Oh well:) Good idea about the vet. They are bengals.

    Just adopted two cats...one is overweight. How to handle food.

    Hi there, I recently lost my two bengals.  One from health issues and the other got out the door.  Neither of them were overweight, even though their bowls were always full. Yesterday, I adopted a pair of adults.  One is very overweight.  Their previous owner fed them twice a day. Do you...

    Strange spot on eye

    Hi there, Does anyone have any idea what this spot is?  It's on the surface of her eye.  I noticed it about a week ago.  Before the spot appeared, every once in a while, she would keep that eye closed as if it was sore. Thanks I should add that it doesn't appear to be bothering her.

    Physiotherapy for weak cat. Please suggest exercises.

    That's a great idea!  Thank you.  I don't think he likes water but it  may be worth a try.

    Physiotherapy for weak cat. Please suggest exercises.

    Hi everyone, Long story short, my cat needs to regain muscle in his front end.   Without spending money, how can I help him?  Are there physiotherapy exercises for cats? Here's the long story, if you're interested. Around two months ago, I woke up in the morning and noticed that my three...

    Rim around eyes looking red and irritated.

    Hi there, A few days ago, I noticed that my cat had some dried blood on the corner of his eye (where you would wipe away sleep dirt from a human eye).  Looking closer, I noticed it was a very small scab.  I assumed he got scratched from playing with my other cat.  A couple days ago, I thought...

    Could my cat be an Egyptian Mau?

    Interesting. I quickly ruled out Egyptian Mau because of my lack of knowledge about them. I always thought that they had small, close together spots. If what you are saying is true, I guess this cat could be part Egyptian Mau. I know that bengal breeders have put in a lot of time and effort...

    Could my cat be an Egyptian Mau?

    Hi there, I don't post here much but I have to reply to this one. Definately part bengal...gotta be at least 50%...or even more. The horizontal flow of the spotting is a dead give away and I don't see any trace of a bullseye pattern. Seriously, the flow of her spots is more bengal than my the...

    Worms!!!

    I just got back from the vet and my cat has roundworms. The vet didn't seemed concerned because it's very common. I, on the other hand, am freaking out!!! I read that when humans get it, the larvea migrate though the body and infect brain tissue, eyeball tissue, etc. An infection can cause...

    Cat has diarrhea and peed on bed

    Hi, I am feeding her the same food as the pervious owner was...unless I got it wrong. He said it was the all natural Iams. Are there two kinds of all natural Iams? What I bought has orange writing on the bag. Hopefully the vet can figure out what the problem is. I will ask her previous...

    Cat has diarrhea and peed on bed

    Hi thanks for getting back to me. I don't know why she isn't spayed. My guess is that the first people who had her, wanted to breed her. She is a beautiful cat. So I'm told, her first owners had her for nine months and then got rid of her when they had a baby. The guy who I bought her from...
