Sorry for taking so long to reply, good to hear she's doing well. With ours, she had the surgery 3.5 years ago now and with the way she runs and jumps you would never know she had an issue. The hardest part for us was keeping her from getting to rambunctious. We would take her out of her cage...

We have 2 cats and our orange male has to get his claws trimmed. He is always getting stuck on the cat trees and snags our bedding all the time. He has even torn a nail once because he panicked and just pulled until it released. It's almost like he never learned how to retract his claws. Our...

Clean bill of health from the doc. He couldn't find anything wrong with him.

The bad dream scenario did come to mind also but wasn't sure. It seems more plausible than petting aggression though because of it being so random. I was awake when he attacked our other cat once, he literally got up from beside me calmly walked over to her then just pounced on her. I felt so...

I honestly can't think of any changes that would trigger this and I can't think of any one incident. About 2 months ago we did find crystals in his urine and we have since switched his food over to a vet recommended urinary health food but he hasn't had any problems since then. That happened...

Hope all is well, I know with our little girl if the knee popped out, I would pick her up and support her rear legs and I would feel it pop back in. I would put her down and she would be fine until it happened again. Any updates on how roadie is doing?

We have 2 cats, one male(Pekoe) and one female(Chai). The female is about 5 years old and the male is 6. Both cats used to sleep with us but on occasion Pekoe would attack Chai and chase her off the bed, maybe once a month to the point where Chai no longer sleeps with us. I took it as Pekoe...

Another one you don't want to feed your cats is blue buffalo. We purchased blue buffalo sensitive stomach because one of ours was having issues with throwing up occasionally. Then he developed crystals in his urine and a partial blockage which we caught early on so he didn't need surgery...

He's always had wet food and drinks lots of water. The vet sold us some canned food specially formulated for this problem and also recommended a dry food which we are picking up today. Our vet showed us the pan that the cat had peed in after the vet had cleared the blockage, I couldn't believe...

Found out the problem, just got back from the vet. The problem was the food we switched him to. He started growling and hissing and licking himself down south so we went to the vet to find out he had a urinary track blockage. It is cleared now but the vet showed us his urine through a microscope...

My dad had a cat that was de-clawed that went outside unsupervised and did just fine, he lived a long life. He caught birds, mice, moles etc. The other cats in the neighborhood learned to leave him alone because when he swatted at something it was more like a heavy weight boxer looking for his...

So here's the history. He's been eating kirkland brand dry food which he only seemed to throw up if he ate too much or had a hairball. We took him to the vet and had him checked out but he couldn't find anything. Lately it has been getting more frequent so we thought maybe the food wasn't...

Our female gets a swollen chin from acne as well as from time to time her lips swell up due to allergies.
