Yes, I read that in articles online. Thank you.

Hello everyone! Thank you for the warm welcome. Unfortunately, my kitten has coronavirus, so right now, I'm in distress. He's had a seizure and intestinal problems, so I really hope he is not on the verge of getting FIP. If anyone has information or advice relating to coronavirus or FIP, please...

My 11-month-old kitten Remy was just diagnosed with having coronavirus. We took him to the vet after he had a 20 second seizure. Does anyone have any experience with coronavirus, and if so, can cats have full lives if the coronavirus never mutates into FIP? Also, how does the coronavirus mutate...

It could just be a non-issue. Maybe your cat got tired of the flavor of his old food. Another option to get him to drink more water would be to get him a kitty water fountain! I heard cats prefer fresh, running water. I got one for my cats :) . Not sure if there has been a big difference in how...

Thanks for your response! Yes, I do think it's better to do the procedure earlier than later, because if he in the future develops kidney/heart issues, it would no longer be safe for him to do I-131. I'll call the treatment facility (AVMI) later today to ask for opinions. I hope they won't have...

Yeah, I think my kitten contracted feline herpes from my adult cats after sharing their food and water. He was extremely sneezy for a few days, but now he doesn't sneeze at all. It's a fairly harmless condition, but there is lysine for when you believe the sneezing to be too severe.

Have you tried giving your cat Fancy Feast? My cat who had a loss of appetite started eating again once we brought out the Fancy Feast. Also, once your cat starts eating wet food again, you can add more water to the wet food to increase his fluid intake.

Are you going to take the cats to get spayed/neutered? And will you help the kittens at least find new homes? Maybe your work can cover some of the fees.

Hello, everyone! Since I was very young, I loved cats. I don't even know what triggered my cat obsession--I grew up having a dog! But ever since I could remember, I loved everything kitty. My love for cats eventually encouraged my parents to get a family cat and in turn made my family also love...

Yes, somehow I managed to become even more of a cat lady by buying a stroller for my 11-month-old indoor-only kitten! He is a hyper boy who isn't afraid of car rides. I can even take him to work, and he doesn't get scared! This is why I think he'll enjoy having morning walks in his pet stroller...

My cat was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, and his thyroid levels are currently normal thanks to methimazole. But methimazole, unfortunately, does not provide a permanent cure and could have side-effects, or it could one day stop being effective depending on the cat. This is why I am...

Coughing is a symptom of some serious diseases, such as those related to the heart. Just to be safe, you should take him to the vet. Serious illnesses/diseases left untreated may not be reversible if detected too late.

My cat was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (an illness that can cause HCM), and my vet had me give my cat atenolol to help slow down my cat's fast heart beat. I think giving Ziggy this medication will reduce the strain on his heart, so please keep giving him the meds. It might take some...

Are her paw pads scabbed, too? If so, it's possible that stepping on the litter is hurting her paws, so she would rather not pee in the litter box. If her paws are indeed the issue, a fix could be to get a different litter, such as paper litter.

You can try getting the kittens spayed/neutered at a local shelter -- it might be cheaper. Also, my local vet has 20% off spay/neuters on Tuesdays. Maybe some other vets would have promotions like that.
