I have a weird question, but thought I'd ask you guys before checking with the vet. Twinkie was neutered almost two months ago and everything has seemed to go pretty well. I was holding him today, and the thought crossed my mind to just check and see if everything looked okay. I was suprised...

I have two quick questions. 1. What are the symptoms of feline diabetes? My youngest, Twinkie, is drinking ALOT of water and peeing frequently. He had minor surgery recently (neuter) and seems to be healing slowly, as well. I would assume that the vet checked him for this, because they did...

It will definitely improve with time. I adopted a new male kitten when my older girl was 4.5 yrs old. She was none to happy about it either, but has adjusted well. She's never been very affectionate, anyway, so I haven't noticed any real changes in her behavior towards me. I think it's pretty...

Blu is spayed already, and my vet won't do Twinkie's surgery until he is 6 months. I tried to get her to do it earlier, but she said she won't do it unless they are spraying or trying to breed. Will Twinkie even try to mate with Blu if she can't go in heat?

My boy, Twinkie, who is almost 6 months old, loves to wrestle with my female cat, Blu, who is 5 yrs old. Most of the time, it's just playful fighting, but sometimes he seems to really get into it and will even bite her back and pull out clumps of her hair with his teeth. We had her for several...

Thanks for telling me that. I actually feel a little better about Purina One since reading all the responses to my OP. I haven't seen anything negative in my cats so far.

In my experience, males are much more affectionate. We have a 5 yr old female and a 5 month old male. He is very much a lap cat and comes when called, etc. He loves to snuggle up in the bed and sleep under the covers right up next to me. The female will sleep on the top of the comforter at the...

@ Sharky, There are lots of other brands available at the Petsmart near my home. I have tried some of them, including Nutro and Science Diet. Nutro actually made Blu bleed from the bottom, and Science Diet caused problems, as well. I know they carry California Natural, Royal Canin, etc. I was...

Yes, please!

Here's a comparison of the ingredients for Purina One Sensitive Systems and Eukanuba Sensitive Stomach Formula. Purina One Sensitive Systems Turkey, brewers rice, corn gluten meal, soybean meal, turkey by-product meal, oat meal, animal fat preserved with mixed-tocopherols (form of Vitamin E)...

Let me know what happens with your girl. Mine has been scooting for the entire year since we adopted her and she has just developed really bad dandruff, too. We have had all kinds of things checked by more than one vet, but no luck getting it to stop. We are pretty sure it's gland related, but...

Blu has a sensitive stomach, and we have been using Eukanuba Sensitive Stomach for a while. We were looking at alternatives today at the pet store and found Purina One Sensitive Systems. We bought a bag of it because it's a little less expensive and the ingredients looked pretty good when...

I have two babies, Blu and Twinkie. Blu is 5 yrs old and Twinkie is around 5 months. They share a large litter box with a front opening. I have noticed that Twinkie has been harrasing Blu while she is using the box. As soon as he hears her digging in the litter, he makes a run for it and climbs...

Our cat, Blu, escaped thru an open window this evening. She was declawed in the front when we got her, so we NEVER let her outside. It was already dark, but we managed to track her down and "capture" her in a wooded area near our home. Needless to say, this was a rather tramatic experience for...

My kitten who is around 4 months old has a very dry nose. It almost appears to be cracking and gets scabs just inside the nostrils. I don't know what to do to treat this problem, but did put a tiny amount of Vaseline on it the other day, but it only helped temporarily. He seems to be in fine...
