One of our cats makes this "brrrm, brrrm" or "hrrm, hrrm" sound when he's really relaxed and walking around. I can't explain it...it's not a purring, it's an actual vocalization of some sort. He does it more after sniffing catnip (), and many times it is either before or after a wrestling match...

I've heard of 1800petmeds delivering expired meds. Has this ever happened to you?

Is it normal for pharmacies to carry pet meds? Or is Kristalose also a human medicine?

What we do with our cat is I sit next to him or put him between my legs. I grab his face with my thumb on one cheek and fingers on the other. You pull his head back and squeeze a little bit. All you need to do is open up his mouth enough on one side so you can get the syringe into the side of...

Are there any good places to buy meds online? We can get Clavamox for $12 + shipping at www.drsfostersmith.com, and our vet wants $27 a bottle. Also, is it tough getting a prescription from the vet? Thanks!

I am feeding one of our cats some antibiotics by syringe. I know I am supposed to reward him afterwards, but he refuses to eat any treats afterwards, and he is absolutely crazy about treats. However, after giving him the medication he is either so ticked off or scared that he won't eat any...

Before we take a cat to the vet we have to know which cat is doing it. Any suggestions?

We went on vacation for 2.5 weeks. We had a pet sitter who was SUPPOSED to come in every other day for the first 1.5 weeks and every day for the last week. I don't know if she did or not. However, when we got home about a week ago we were greeted to some poop in our foyer. She left a note...

So part of my attempt to stop hairballs is to start feeding the kitties wet food. I feed them natural balance dry so I am going to add natural balance wet, indoor cat formula. What I am wondering is, what is the best way to do this? I am guessing that in the morning I should put enough food in...

Well, I am trying...biting seems to be becoming less frequent. We'll see how it goes. The tough part is I am on my laptop and she is sitting on my lap, and she just sits there and does it while I am using the computer. I might have to actually put her on the floor...

So, our little kitty loves to lick our hands and nibble them like she is grooming them. This was all cute and tolerable until recently. Her bites have gotten a lot stronger to the point of being very, very painful pinches sometimes. I really want to get her to stop doing this...any suggestions?

Natural Balance (dry only). We free feed them twice a day. I would say each bowl gets about 3/4 cup a day. The bowls are elevated.

There is a HUGE hairball every time. She'll cough up the food, and then she will cough up the hairball after that.

Our little DHS coughs up hairballs every 2-3 days. It's quite a problem, since she usually coughs up her breakfast with it (thankfully it's dry food). Petromalt doesn't seem to be helping. Olive oil in her food doesn't seem to be helping. We have a water fountain that she drinks from quite...

OK, that is what we were wondering...if the "army crawl" (lol) is normal, or if the harness is just too tight.
