My cat just came back from the vet after a case of urinary crystals. He had a catheter to drain his bladder. He's been home about an hour and has peed a small amount about 4 times. Is this normal after a catheter?

So I've had laryngitis for 2 days now and my cat's been avoiding me like the plague. Could he be scared of my voice? Or freaked out by why I won't seem to stop whispering? I mean, I assume he knows its me by my smell. Are cats that sensitive to voices?

Could someone explain to me the difference between regular kibble and the one's marked indoor cat formula? Is there a reason to chose this over another variety? I notice some of them are lower in protein than the other varieties.

My family recently adopted a very young kitten tat turned out to have panleukopenia and died less than three weeks later.  We are heartbroken of course, but still want to add a kitten to our family.  I'm concerned because I understand that panleukopenia is a very hardy virus and we have carpets...

My kitten refused food for almost a week.  At her rescue's recommendation I finally gave her Fancy Feast Salmon and Shrimp which she devoured.  It not the healthiest but it got us through the crisis, and now I'm slowly mixing in a healthier food to switch over.  Sometimes you need something very...

Unfortunately, out of all those, only Merrick is available at my local Petco!  Thanks for the tip about the KMR, I have some on hand.

I'm trying to find a good quality, healthy food for my underweight kitten.  I've heard good things about both EVO 95% meat and Wellness.  I can't decipher all the additives and nutrition info well enough to tell which is better.  I'm looking for a commercially available canned kitten food in the...

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely get a timed feeder, because I can't get home to feed 6 tines a day! I'm currently supplementing the wet food with Purina Pro Kitten, but she won't touch it anyway. Once the poor little thing is stabilized I plan to switch to a higher quality food like...

I have an 8 week old rescue kitten who just got over a bad bout of coccidia.  She's underweight so the vet wanted me to free feed so she can eat all she wants.  Unfortunately she won't eat anything but wet food, which I can't leave out all day.  I've been feeding her about 4 times a day and...
