For the first person that replied I was not being literal about about articles stating the dogs would be evil. I am saying that there few article that assume the dog is friendly toward cats (with some good reason) and how to help the cat adjust and like the dog. I like the stories people have...

Hi I see articles all about introducing dogs and cat that emphasize protecting cats from the evil dog that might eat the cat. I never see any on how to get  a cat to enjoy the dog that likes cats. Before my stray popped up I was actively searching for a dog loving cat that also likes other...

It does hurt alot and if start that way he will never want to be groomed. For future reference I have used a letter opener to get mats open and comb them out. I mean the type that is rectangular and then the open part curves around and has a proctected blade on the interior. I got this tip from...

Well I took "her" to get spayed today and it turns out the cat is male. There were no apparent signs the cat was male in the few days I had him before taking him to the vet for the first visit. He does not tolerate much handling so I could not investigate.  A vet examined the cat and did and...

She is primarily white with a tiger striped tail and 5 tiger striped spots and tiger top part of her head.  

Hi I am wondering if they mean Sub-Q fluids that is help. Whether IV fluids are helpful can depend on some blood values. I Highly recommend you join this yahoo group for support and some expert help. You won't regret it. http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/tanyas-crf-support/ I did have a cat...

I guess you mean the first conversation I had about this cat. In that case I prefer you delete the first thread. Thanks!

I've taken in a stray she mostly white with a tiger striped tail and tiger stripes on her ears and top of her head. So the rest of her face is white. She had been in fight so she had some scratches on her nose. They are healing I though her nose was dirty so I tried to clean it but it's not...

I've taken in a stray she has had her first deworming and will get a second this week. I've notice she has these little flea sized black and possibly white bumps near her rectum. If you've seen them before what are they? She has also been given something like Frontline forget the name it starts...

I have found upper respiratory infections clear faster with antibiotics so that is good. They can get secondary infections as a result of them so it's not dragged out when antibiotics are given. You can buy Lysine treats online such as on Amazon.com they are helpful as well as the powder. They...

I was really overwhelmed when I found her. She is very large and not as cooperative as I am used to.  She is still living in our garage. She wants to follow me into the house now but I can't let her in yet. She is much friendlier but nips unpredictably. There are no displays of growling or...

The one I took home  went to the vet she is FIV/FELV negative they don't think she is pregnant or spayed. No microchip. She has her 1st shots and is dewormed. She was pretty good overall just slightly irate. The bill was really expensive. She didn't get bathed as they wanted nearly $40.00 to do...

I hope your cat is better. Low potasium may cause seizures but a vet has to test for it. You cannot randomly give it as the wrong dose can cause heart problems. If she is doing better you may want to join the group affiliated with this site and read the site it's really very helpful...

I am uncertain about keeping her. I have tiny 6 lb cat 12 year old with health problems already, one 13 year old, on one chubby munchkin looking cat. Plus a dog border collie lab mix. Her form but not her color reminds me of an Abyssinian cat.A large (tall, long, muscular at least 10 lbs) cat...
