Oh, my cats are super easy. They'll eat anything and use any litter, as long as it's not scented. I still have the bag of corn just in case, but I doubt it'll be an issue. I have such weird cats. Definitely switching to a new vet. I was digging through Yelp reviews earlier to find a good one. I...

I just read all that about the corn, so I was like lemme change that even if he isn't allergic. I bought some of Dr. Elsey's or however you spell it and scrubbed the litter box and floors around it before changing it out. I plan on deep cleaning that bathroom this weekend. See, I was kinda...

I'm mostly frustrated because multiple vets have refused to even examine him and just claimed that it's fleas. Despite the fact that if there is zero evidence of fleas. I know the cats that overgrown or scratch like he does are often because of fleas, but the cats get monthly treatments, I have...

I am also considering changing his litter because even though a few years ago everyone was singing praises of world's best, it looks like corn is a bad way to go and there's a possibility he could have developed an allergy to that

He is still on the pork and rabbit only diet. Limited ingredient food. We at first thought it was a chicken allergy so we cut everything out with chicken in it. now I am starting to think it might be something else, because it hasn't gotten better and it's been almost 3 months.

This is after a few weeks of the cone and allowing the fur to grow back.

There is a second 10 year old cat. Also receiving flea treatment. She is healthy as can be.

Dax is a 4 year old cat that I rescued as a kitten. For the last 6-8 mo, we have been trying to figure out why he scratches and grooms like crazy. He has created sores on his neck and base of tail so he's now sporting a "cone of shame". I've been to the vet 5(?) times. They have told me that it...

Question: is there such a thing as watching too much "My Cat From Hell"?

Toilet training is usually not suggested just in case your cat ever has territory issues. For cats, litterboxes aren't just their toilet, it's also how they mark their territory and feel like they own the place. Just a thought in case you run into that issue in the future! Otherwise, good luck!

I used to have a cat that couldn't tolerate beef, so that doesn't really surprise me. It's just a bit harder to avoid chicken. I haven't seen the rabbit version at the Petco close to me, but I might call around.

Apparently the oatmeal shampoo I bought has chamomile extract in it and lots of other good stuff. The only thing those foods seem to have in common is that they are chicken based. Is it possible that he is allergic to chicken?

The first food was basically a combination of wet and dry Friskies. Then it was the Hill's Prescription Urinary Health, then Purina Pro Plan indoor health, now he's on Instinct Raw Boost (grain free). I want him back on wet foods, but I gotta figure this out first. The Benadryl was definitely a...

I have a 3 year old male cat with pretty severe skin issues, and I need advice on what to do next. Back in May, we discovered a UTI. We took him to the vet, and they, of course, switched to his food. He stayed on the vet's prescription food for a couple of months. Once he finished the bag, we...

I tried a bunch of your suggestions, and she is out and about. Saw her on the window sills several times last night, she slept in bed with me and has not had an accident for two days (fingers crossed). I don't know what worked, but we have a Feliway diffuser and some lavender spray. We also made...
