Thanks so much for that, Rachbu.  I got my kitty a model E2 Philocomb and it works great -- much better than his boar bristle brush alone -- to collect his loose undercoat hairs.  He loves it!

You are very welcome.  Two litter boxes for two cats = litter box shortage.  That could be one possible explanation of the problem.  Many cats like having their very own litter box, and many of them like to use different litter boxes for different excretory functions.  I believe the general rule...

Welcome to TheCatSite.    Congratulations on your adoption! Do you know if her other environment -- with her first owner -- had other pets?  How many litter boxes was she provided there?  Are there other pets in your household?  Has she been fixed? I am sure some cat behavior experts will be...

The topical bug protection medicine can be applied on the back of the head and at the base of the head.  I strongly urge you to dose your kitty with Capstar and a proper topical bug protection medicine ASAP.   You should also have your kitty evaluated for Flea Anemia.  You can use the area of...

Do they get regular application of a bug repellent (such as AdvantageMulti) to keep them free of bugs?

Welcome to TheCatSite.  I am sorry to learn of your kitties not getting along and that your adult kitty seems to be sick. TheCatSite has some great resources -- threads, at least one article, and some videos -- on proper introduction of cats to help them make the adjustment to sharing their...

Wal-Mart stores have the 7.5-grain tablets on a lowish shelf in the section of vitamins and supplements very near the Pharmacy Department. I assure you that it will not work for flea control.

In what time zone are you?

Brain changes are harder to find and would be more likely from a very long, critical deficiency, with other symptoms most likely showing up long before.  I would want at least the B12 and MMA measured.  The MMA result can indicate a deficiency even with a B12 result in normal range.  Make sure...

See the Clinical Signs section in this item linked here: http://www.vetbook.org/wiki/cat/index.php/Cobalamin_deficiency That is good that you are not using any fluorescent lighting.  When those bulbs are going bad -- even before one might notice that they are going bad -- their flashing can...

I would not expect them to be reported unless they were specifically ordered by the Veterinarian.  Even with B12 levels in normal range, there may not be normal availability or absorption.  This is why the other two chemistry tests (which measure some chemical effects of B12 deficiency) should...

Please look with a magnifying lens and see if that "odd white stuff" is some early instar maggots.

Thank goodness!  I just want to say that this is a wonderful development.  So many adult kitties whose well-being depends on their making the transition to wet food seem unable to make the adjustment.  Dry cat food was developed more for human convenience than for cats' nutritional needs.  For...

Hi Jlgagne.  Please use the search feature for good information and guidance on Redirected Aggression. Do you own your dwelling place and backyard?  If so, there is much you might do in the way of a Catio, or kitty-safe outdoor enclosure.  Do a search for Catio for some inspiration. In the...

Wearing masks would be good practice for her and her household members whenever it is expected that they will or may be around children or even small crowds, and it would be good practice too for them to wear masks whenever others visit. Thank you very much for your kind wishes, CCCCC.  Next...
