Hi! It's been a while since I posted. My boyfriend and I might be moving in together in a few months. We're excited for the move, but we're also concerned about the co-habitation of our cats -- my rambunctious cat Micky, and his ornery cat Maggie. I read the stickies on this subject and...

Okay, thanks. I tried to skim a few pages of the forum but couldn't find anything.

Here is a picture I just took of it. It isn't too clear, but I don't have a digital camera:

Hi everyone, In the last couple of weeks, we've noticed that Micky has developed kind of a bald patch on her left side, between her front and hind legs. It mostly looks like the hair in that spot has very much thinned-out, as opposed to going completely bald. There aren't any other bald...

I took Micky in yesterday morning for a routine check up, where she was given a rabies shot and a urinalysis (she has been struggling with UTIs for the past several months). I've noticed that in the day and a half or so since we've been home, she barely moves. My otherwise playful...

thanks. they figure that the previous medications somehow didn't knock out the infection properly. who knows, maybe I gave them to her wrong or something :-\\ Situations like this, I always tend to feel like a bad mommy. I really hope she doesn't have kidney stones or a congenital problem...

Okay, so I got her back, after the urinalysis, and she still has an infection, but no crystals. They put her on another antibiotic (Cefadroxil), and if there isn't an improvement, then I'll have to take her in for an ultrasound to check for kidney stones or a congenital bladder problem. I...

No, I got her about six months after I moved out. The TV thing seems like a good idea; I dated a guy whose parents did that for their fluffy baby Sir Thomas. And while I can't get another cat, I could save up for a new comforter set. I just got back from Wal-Mart... they have decent sets...

Thank you. She's at the vet right now for a urinalysis, hopefully with a fuller bladder this morning (than when I took her in yesterday), and hopefully not too pissed off at me. When I opened her cage this morning, she just stood in front of it and looked at me like, "Shoot, girl, I know you...

Oh, yes, I forgot to mention that. We took her off the cheap Friskies and put her on the prescription feline c/d diet. She seems to like it.

Micky has been to the vet twice in the past couple months or so for UTI-related symptoms. The first time, they found very apparent crystals in her urine and signs of an infection. They gave her a prescription for Clavamox, in a dropper, and instructed me on the doseage: two drops a day, twice...

in that case, is there a product i could buy to disguise/get rid of the smell? i've just been using febreeze and paper towels (I'm incredibly broke).

Micky is recovering from a UTI that apparently had been going on for months. In the last few days, I've noticed that she had urinated a couple of times in her old litter box, which to me, was good news -- it meant that she was both recovering from the UTI *and* that she didn't associate the old...

I also recently took Micky in for a UTI. She also had crystals in her urine, which the vet attributed to her diet of Friskies. In the last day, even, the Clavamox seems to have worked (but I'm still waiting for her to use the litter box at all, for anything... kind of worries me there, but...

Thanks for all the advice. I researched a little bit when I first got Micky about the different kinds of food for cats, but the thing is, I'm on a very tight budget. A lot of these foods were a little too expensive and I have to admit that I was drawn in by the price of Friskies. I hadn't...
