Hi friends, Has anyone out there ever heard of experienced a cat being allergic to cockroaches?? We finally bit the bullet and paid ($415) to have Growleypants tested for allergies via blood test. Our vet assumed it was a food allergy, but none of our diet trials provided any relief and...

I've flown with my pet on Jetblue and I thought they were very friendly about it. I paid $50 extra for him and had to have the carrier under the seat for takeoff but had him on my lap (in the carrier) the rest of the flight. There is only about 8 inches under the Jetblue seats but my cat was...

Does anyone have any information about feline FHO to share? The latest of Professor Growleypants's maladies is that he randomly started limping a few weeks ago. I took him to the vet and she gave him some kitty aspirin and said it could have been "just a ding." He did seem to get better...

Can I ask what her new diet is?? I'm beginning to think my cat's new affliction (see Hurt paw? post from yesterday) is related to his ear allergy problems. I've been feeding him Natural Balance venison/green pea and it certainly helps but he still shakes his head often. When I fed him a...

Hi there, My indoor kitty seems to have a problem with his paw. He's been licking it more often the past few days, and it looks like he has black crud between his toes now. Although he puts his full weight on the paw and scratches the post with it, he definitely gets angry when I try to...

Hooray!! My friend's roomate found a kind soul to take care of the kittens and mom until they are done nursing and ready to adopt!! The best part is that when all three babies and momma were captured they were really responsive to people--so it sounds like these guys have hope afterall! This...

I had a similar problem when my cat was a baby-- his stool was loose because of a combination of tapeworms and overfeeding. He was trying to be such a good kitten by covering it and it would just cause a mess. I suggest bringing your kittens to the vet if they have loose stool. You all will...

I recently invested in the automatic pet feeder that is sold on shop.com: http://www.shop.com/op/~Automatic_Pe...-prod-11752279 I bought if for everyday use so that I can feed my cat several small meals per day while I'm at work. So far it has worked great-- and with four compartments you...

I have a very weird cat behavior scenario to present to you all. I'm curious if anyone has EVER experienced anything like this. My cat has met my mother's boyfriend three times. For some reason, Professor Growleypants hisses at every interaction. He often hisses at new people to assert...

Hi all, I'm very upset about this! My friend found 3 stray kittens and a momma in her backyard. They have been hanging around the neighborhood for a couple of weeks and the neighbors have been feeding it intermitently (milk and kitten chow). I wanted to make sure they were taken care of so I...

A very similar thing happened to my cat when I switched him to Wellness (from Science Diet). My cat stepping in his loose stools lasted more than a week though so I took him to the vet and it turned out it wasn't from the change in food at all, but that I was feeding the cat way too much food...

Your cats should be okay especially since you'll be moving all your belongings with you and they will recognize their scent. Plus, they have each other! It sounds gross, but I considered moving dirty litter along with the box so that my kitty would have no doubt about where to go. When I...

To Charcoal: I just brought my kitty on the plane (from CA to MA) and our airline (JetBlue) allowed the cat as a "personal item." I'd make sure you can bring 2 cats each because, as I understand, with most airlines the cat has to ride underneath the seat in front of you (at least for takeoff...

I'm a big fan of Feline Pine too, because of its odor absorbing powers. Usually lasts about a week, and they sell 20 lb bags of it. A friend just also introduced me to "Yesterday's News" that she uses with her kitty, which is the same sort of pellets made out of recycled newspaper. I've seen...

Great suggestion of Rescue Remedy!! I have some already from the last time I left him with a sitter. I think I'll start adding that to his water whenever I start packing...
