We got Wendel in November of 2008 from the humane society with the intention of getting two cats off the bat. That didn't work out at the time but we decided it was time for another one and picked up Winston on Feb 5. They're both the same age (7 months) and Wendel has been neutered while...

Thanks, I'll give it a try but it seems if I move any part of my body closer to his face he puts his ears back and tries to bite even harder. He goes crazy for biting. Should I do this even if he's lying down on his own and I go by and try to pet him? I don't want him to think that he needs...

My new kitten loves to bite. He attacks legs, arms and pounces on me and bites all the time. He's sweet and can sometimes cuddle but lately even if he's in a mellow mood and you pet him he'll roll over and bite. Its not hard biting and doesn't break the skin but bites nonetheless. We've...

He seems to be on the mend here. His eye crusts are gone and it hasn't been runny in a few days. I do'nt think I've heard him sneeze in the past day or two either. I meant to say that he has not had a single accident since we brought him home so I think that indicates some sign of good...

It's the Wysong Nurture. It's an all age food. I have been just filling up his bowl as it empties with that and then giving him a top dressing of a variety of the canned foods (ie the rabbit, duck, beef, etc) which he seems to love. I was going to wait until he was a bit older to start...

Thanks for the all the replies! I hadn't even thought about the holidays, but they did want to wait a full month... January 15th or so. She said she didn't like doing it on cats under six months but I see on here that it can be done earlier. As far as I can tell both of his testicles are...

I did a search here and didn't find much to answer my question. I was wondering when is the right age to neuter. Wendel has a contract from the shelter to neuter him by Dec. 15. The vet said he was younger than they predicted and that she would feel more comfortable doing it in January. He...

Thats good to hear. My guy just wears a collar with his license and a tag with his name and my numbers on it. I guess his rabies tag will go on it when he gets vaccinated in December too. Glad I'm not being paranoid here.

He just saw the vet on Sunday (six days ago) when it was diagnosed. It's not getting worse at all. I think he's getting better but I was wondering how long to expect it to take for him to get over it altogether.

My cat is an indoor guy but I decided that just in case he gets out he should wear a collar with his license and contact info on it. He's also pretty small and new to the place so he wears a bell. Does anyone else put a collar on their indoor cat? My childhood cats wore/wear collars but...

My four month old kitten, Wendel, came with an FURI. At the vet appointment the day after I picked him up they prescribed amoxicillin for secondary bacterial infection. He is still sneezing a fair bit (off and on throughout the day) and occasionally has a watery right eye which is sometimes...

His poops seem solid if not potent. Should I stick with it?

I've only had the Wendel for a week but he's already earned the nickname Ellis... or L.S. which stands for Little $#it by waking me up early in the morning.

I have a four month old kitten that I've just adopted from the humane society. On the advice of the guys at my pet food store I've started him on Wysong (the one with freeze dried pheasant) and a variety of canned food. He seems fairly into both versions but I was wondering if this is a good...

Not an expert here, but I do have a bit of knowledge in human health. I'd say that for the time being to keep feeding the cat as you have been. The goal for now is not to slim the mother down but to provide enough calories to support the growing kittens. Her weight issue can be resolved after...
