    Cat Allergies Or Something Else?

    If you develop cat allergies and you have 3 cats, would you have symptoms every single day all day until you remove the cats or could you have days with no symptoms and still be allergic to cats? For the past year or so, I have had allergies in the mornings and lately also in the afternoon...

    Cat With Skin Allergies And Another With Raw Spots. Will A Pro Haircut Help ?

    I have one cat who is constantly itching. Sometimes he scratches so much with his back claws that he takes off big patches of fur. I have him on a limited ingredient diet, zyrtec for bad days, etc, but I have no clue what he is really allergic to. We have to just accept him as the itchy one...

    Could Mold In Stool Be A Sign Of Diabetes?

    Today for the first time I saw white mold/spores on my cat's stool. Like a hairy growth over certain areas. This has never happened before. I have a litter Robot for 2 cats and for those who don't know how they work, you basically have to open a drawer that is under the unit in order to change...

    Hardwood Floors And Cat Hair Tumbleweeds.

    I will be trying this tomorrow. Good tip! I have a roomba too, but I find it quicker to just grab the light vac and do it myself in a few minutes vs the roomba taking forever to do a small livingroom and dining room. Plus you have to pick up every possible obstacle that it can get tangled with...

    Hardwood Floors And Cat Hair Tumbleweeds.

    Get a light battery powered upright vacuum and buy a few handheld cordless vacs to have for when you need to pick up small things (litter/hairs) on the spot.

    Feeding The Rescue Cats Better Kibble

    Guys, I have been feeding the 4 rescues I currently have a combination of morning kibble and canned dinner every day. One of my cats has a bit of an upgrade with LID Natural balance since he has allergies (not sure it helps that much). Anyways, I wanted to upgrade the kibble I feed them and...

    FIV Superficial Dental Cleaning thoughts?

    thank you ! I appreciate you taking the time to look that up.  I know they have to do blood work before doing the deep cleaning. I haven't asked yet whether they could possibly do the Xrays at the time of the dental examination/bloodwork so we know before hand the condition of the teeth. That...

    FIV Superficial Dental Cleaning thoughts?

    Sorry about your kitties. I wish them the best! The vet suggested they'd do it in office, but have no idea if they bring in a specialist or if they have any experience. I have been calling around to get quotes on the anesthesia procedure and it ranges up to $600 just for cleaning without...

    FIV Superficial Dental Cleaning thoughts?

    Hi. they have good reviews. I see that they do most of the work on dogs though. This cleaning would be like what you get at your dentist. It removes all the visible tar, just not under the gumline and costs 1/3. The techs who do the cleaning can tell when teeth need more work if it's visible...

    FIV Superficial Dental Cleaning thoughts?

    My FIV stray has horrendous breath.  The vet, who is not a dental vet, suggested teeth cleaning under anesthesia to do a deep cleaning.  I am hesitant to put him under anesthesia and also the cost is too high. However, I found a service who does cleanings without anesthesia. I understand it...

    FIV+ What supplements do you suggest to boost immune system?

    I am very sorry to hear about Gary. I hope you are doing better and thank you for commenting.  I will look into these recommendations. I am currently doing Fish oil and Llysine 500mg a day powder form, but I am afraid it's not enough.  Thanks and hope you have a good week!

    Coconut oil for skin issues

    Hi,  I would not do it. She will lick the oil off and that will make the spots worse and take longer to heal. If the spots were on the back or any other place she can't reach with her coarse tongue, then yes, it wouldn't hurt to do the coconut oil. I've tried it on a cat with awful allergies...

    FIV+ What supplements do you suggest to boost immune system?

    Hello everyone,  If you may, please share what are the best supplements to help keep the immune system the strongest possible.  I have read about lactoferrin, Omega 3, Vitamin B, Llysine, etc.. and I am sure the list goes on, but what is truly the best and most effective? I wish there was a...

    Cat vomited and diarrhea, what could it be?

    Thanks everyone for your comments. He seems to be doing well. This morning around 6am I gave him about an ounce of wet food and he devoured it. He did not puke it. By 12 pm he was asking for food and gave him another ounce mixed with water and he ate it all. So far he seems back to his old...

    Cat vomited and diarrhea, what could it be?

    Hello everyone,  One of my cats vomited tonight 6 hours after his last Friskies canned food dinner.  He vomited quite a bit twice, then immediately went to his litterbox and pooped solid and watery poop with a horrible smell.  Then he went to his bed and not 5 minutes after he puked again...
