    silent cat meows

    So I've had my cat for about a year and she hardly ever meowed. She might do it if she knew i was preparing her a delicious treat that she couldn't wait for, but that's about it. Recently, she has started to meow at me right before or as she is walking onto my lap to lay down. She'll jump up...

    help me trick my cat

    I got the cat as a stray and I started feeding her wet food to treat her. I eventually took it away and kept her only on dry because wet was a pain in the ass and it stinks up my apartment. When we found out she had allergies though, I started bringing back the wet food because I thought it...

    help me trick my cat

    So my cat Eva has allergies. The doctor gave me a prescription for antihistamines and I thought I was really clever by crushing up her pills and mixing it into her wet food. At first she would eat it, but after awhile the cat who used to wake me up meowing like crazy for her wet food stopped...

    cat pulling out hair

    So I decided that her problem is a food allergy... I think. Every time she leans over her food bowl she sneezes multiple times before she starts chowing down. I went out and bought her $35 worth of the food you suggested. They didn't have the venison and pea so I thought the duck and pea...

    yeasty ears/itchy skin - diagnosis?

    she eats whatever we buy her. I was only giving her dry food. i gave her a new food from meow mix... something wellness. it had the least amount of ingredients so i figured it was more natural. the vet said she probably had allergies though and prescribed antihistamines so I had to start...

    yeasty ears/itchy skin - diagnosis?

    bad picture but the best my camera can do. the results of her habit are mild, but it really affects her behavior and you can see missing patches in her skin. She's spends way too much time pulling out hair and grooming

    cat pulling out hair

    about that cat carrier. i would be totally willing but the wait last time i went to my vet was 3 hours! couldn't keep her tied up in that for that long. She's such a brat about getting in a carrier. It takes at least 2 to shove her in. Thank god i'm more brave than my boyfriend. Id o all...

    yeasty ears/itchy skin - diagnosis?

    my cat doesn't just lose fur. She pulls it out with her mouth. I have never seen a flea on her. I realize one could bite her outside or something, but does your cat just lose fur after contact with fleas ? my cat pulls the hair out on her front legs and anywhere else she can reach.

    yeasty ears/itchy skin - diagnosis?

    Got a stray, took her in... noticed missing hair on front legs and assumed ringworm... tests came back negative. Here's the post i put under the stray forum as a response... do these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? any suggestions? I want my lady to feel better : I took my cat to the vet...

    cat pulling out hair

    I took my cat to the vet and they told me what i already suspected... that she doesn't have ringworm. They suggested maybe she has allergies. They did a slide of the gunk in her ear and said it was full of yeast. They gave me antihistamines to give her twice a day and this pill which is...

    cat pulling out hair

    They only suggested getting her tested for feline leukemia... not FIV. I didn't get her tested for either because I knew I would have to go back and i'd rather split up the costs. Her first visit was $100 (she got an annual which is what they suggested for a stray)...She got a vaccine for...

    cat pulling out hair

    I'm a student. I adopted this cat because I saw her crossing through my backyard and I just so happen to keep cat food in my house in case I luckily run into a hungry stray (aspiring crazy cat lady here ). She took the bait and came to the food and even let me touch her the first night. So...

    selfish??

    So I took Eva to the vet and reluctantly had her scanned.. NO CHIP! hooray! I continue to check the craigslist and tallahassee democrat lost and found- no missing lookalikes. Also, I called around to all the shelters and the only place in town that tattoos cats is the spay and neuter clinic...

    cat pulling out hair

    I adopted a stray about two months ago... Her name is Eva, and she's the new queen in the house. However, she has a few nervous ticks. She grooms herself excessively and pulls out the hair on her arms and anywhere she can reach with her mouth. Her front legs are the only ones that have...
