PLEASE GET BACK TO ME AS I JUST NOTICED THIS POST AND YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER. I always try to get my cats in sooner rather than later. Sometimes it's nothing, but in your case, there's definitely a problem going on. We had this sort of problem lately and it ended up being...
Ask the vet for another med (or a second dose). These are worms from ingesting fleas while grooming themselves. They may well be exiting because of the meds. Check the timing with your vet. I don't think there's any issue being contagious to humans, but there's the "gross-out" factor since they...
I am heartbroken to hear your story. I know it leaves you with guilt as well as grief. We are having a terrible time with fleas this year too and because of having to wait to treat a mommy and her kittens, we've been worried. The mommy has kept the flea population (somewhat) under control, but...
"Can anyone recommend other brands that they like? Oh, my cats are aged 9, 8 and 3, and are all either neutered or spayed, if that makes a difference in which brand would be best for them."
Cats have been the best part of my life for 30 years and while I have tried many different ones, I am...
I posted a long piece about my newly found cat's change in personality and it's all very sad, but after reading lots of postings tonight, I thought I'd share some happy cat news!
A couple of months ago I was walking by a dumpster when I heard tiny crying. My friend and I stopped and called to...
Well, your tortie sounds like mine. I've had her for three years and have other cats as well. When I saw her at the cat rescue place, they said she had a bit of an attitude, possibly from having (for medical neccesity) one paw declawed. (She has a deformed leg and the toenails were curling and...
Your pictures had me cracking up! LOL!!! I especially loved the one called "Kanga sour cream! I guess we tried some sour cream....? Thanks for the laugh. I could really use it (see my posting under behavior re: cat amnesia).
Very cool advice. I'm brand new and just posted in the behavioral category regarding cat trauma or amnesia. Please check it out. I am having to re-introduce a cat that was lost and am having problems. I will slow way down. Your tips sound logical and I am hopeful. Please let me know if you have...
Your are in a real catch 22 with the cats in the bedroom. I had almost the same situation. I moved back home with my cat and although my parents only had one cat, they had never gotten along when I lived at home before. My parents were in a new house and my cat was peeing all around the house...
Well, I have been battling the peeing too, and the carpet in our new house is now ruined. We moved into a house with several cats of our own and there were two that lived here before. Here's what a breeder of pugs told me to do (I haven't tried it yet). I bought a carpet shampooer. He said to...
I NEED YOUR HELP!!! This is kind of long, but a really complicated situation: Help with my FOUND cat! Our sweet tabby (MISCHIEF) disappeared two weeks ago and after much searching we found him! Yay! We were so happy. He has unusual markings, may be part Bengal, and we were sure it was him. All...
