Nope, no rash or spots or anything. I'm going to take her to the vet and see what they say, but hopefully they won't have to do a bunch of tests on her because it could not have come at a worse time seeing as I just had to pay for all my classes for uni.

I'm not sure if this is in the right area, but I have a 3 year old, spayed, female indoor cat and lately I've noticed the hair on her belly almost completely gone as well as on the inside of her back legs. I haven't really noticed any excessive grooming, but I'm assuming it's the cause and it's...

Is panleukopenia the same as leukopenia? About a year ago I adopted a kitten from some "rescue" shelter, it ended up dying from panleukopenia about two days later right in front of my eyes. It was extremely disturbing. My cats were both vaccinated and they didn't contract it from the kitten...

Really? I've heard of some airlines requiring them, but not all. Or is that something the state requires? Also I've got two cats and I'm pretty sure they only allow one cat on board per passenger, so one would end up having to go as cargo

I'll be traveling by plane with my cats in a few weeks. They haven't ever been on a plane before and I haven't looked into that much yet. Anyway, I'm traveling from a relatively hot state (it will be 95+ every day until the end of July at least), to a relative cool state (about mid 70s...

well, i found him tonight. he seems ok, his collar is missing though. i'm quite relieved, i've had a horrible week. not that this is relevant in any way, but i had a horrible/devastating break up with my boyfriend today, so i was feeling even more down than usual, so at least i found my baby and...

Yes, he's neutered. He got neutered when he was about 5 months old. I haven't seen him (if that was him) around since that night. I did leave food out that night and it was gone in the morning. I'm hoping it was him and not some other cat eating it. I left some food out last night, but it was...

So while going up and down my street (it's about 11 pm) here, looking for my cat, calling his name, I see about 5 or so cats running around, but none are him. I finally decide to come back home and I stand out in front of my house and just stood there for a minute listening, then my ten year old...

Thanks. I have tried looking late at night (early morning), but it actually just seems more difficult because it's hard to see pretty much everything.

So the worst possible scenario has happened. My male cat got out of the yard yesterday morning. I've been searching for him up and down the streets near me, but I've seen no sign of him. I'm a little worried now because it has been hot and sunny recently, but tonight there are supposed to be...

i know. i've already checked out animal shelters too, they won't board them or put them in foster homes unless they're going to be put up for adoption. anyway there are a lot of bushes in the backyard and it's fine if they hide/play in those or whatever. but there are potted flowers and some...

so, this is day one of having my cats outside. i only have one here so far, and he seems to be doing ok, he just seems really sad he can't come in and wants me out in the backyard with him at all times. i'm hoping when my other cat is here he'll do better and they can distract either. but a...

actually, i wish they were sympathetic toward the cat situation, but they're not. my family does not like cats. their suggestion to me was to give them away, which i could not live with myself if i did. for one they've been with eachother since they were 7 weeks old and i'd feel horrible if they...

no, i've already attempted to contact everyone i can think of to board the cats, they just can't, for various reasons. I was thinking maybe keeping them in a large kennel, but that seems a bit cruel. the best bet right now is the garage, but it does get pretty hot in there during the day. i'm in...

i would just recommend being completely sure it's healthy. my roommate adopted a kitten from an animal shelter here, it had all of its kitten shots and was thought to be completely healthy but ended up having panleukopenia and died a few days later (it actually died right in front of me, pretty...
