    Thinking about taking a stray inside

    Thanks everyone for the advice. I think I will try to lure him into the carrier versus picking him up since we don't know his medical history and I am pregnant! Fortunately our backyard is fairly safe since I live in a city and so all of the houses are attached. He doesn't venture out into the...

    Thinking about taking a stray inside

    Hello Everyone! I am hoping for some advice. We started feeding a stray cat, who we call Oreo, a few months ago. He is our neighbourhood stray that has been here since birth. After asking around we found out that one lady adopted his brother, but Oreo was left all alone outside. At first he was...

    Sneezy, Wheezy Kitten! Please help!

    Hi Everyone, I am in the process of adopting a kitten from the shelter. However, she is soooo sneezey! All day longs she sneezes and sprays kitty snot all over me. Plus, she is now sounding very wheezey - when she sleeps she uses her mouth to breathe and it's creating this squeaking sound. The...

    Cat smacking lips and hiding under bed

    I called his vet today! They gave me an appointment with him tomorrow morning, so that's good! I hope my poor baby is okay. Today I opened up a can of tuna and he ate that right away, and he is not running a temperature, but he won't let me look in his mouth at all. I am wondering if he has...

    Cat smacking lips and hiding under bed

    Boy, it's not a good week for my cats!! Rocket is looking better but now Dexter seems unhappy. Since Tuesday he has been hiding under the bed, looking really sad and miserable. At first I thought it was because Rocket was getting a lot of attention (due to him being sick) but now I am starting...

    Advice please! Limping, lethargic, sick kitten...

    The vet called with his test results. He is negative for Luekemia and FIV which is good, but he tested positive to corona virus. She said that it was low titre count (1-400) so I should not worry about FIP, but how can I not?? How many cats develop FIP? Am I feaking out over nothing, or should I...

    cat litter types

    I use World's Best - it's made of corn so it's safe for the kitties. I read that you should not use clay clumping litter because inevitably they end up ingesting some of it and it's not good for their systems and can lead to health problems. The World's Best is more expensive, but it's worth it...

    Advice please! Limping, lethargic, sick kitten...

    Thanks for all your replys! Rocket is very sick, but I think he is starting to get better. It turns out he has a URI which is causing his limping and the abcess in his mouth, and a very high fever (105.6) that is causing his lethargy. The vet gave him a shot of antibiotics, IV fluids and some...

    Advice please! Limping, lethargic, sick kitten...

    Hello, I am in need of advice, please! My kitten, Rocket, who last week went to the vet and was diagnosed with dust sensitivities (he was sneezing a lot) has taken very ill. All day yesterday he just lay on my bed, not playing and just sleeping. When he finally did get up I noticed him limping...

    Kitten is soooo sneezy! Help!

    Hello. My kitty who is about 6 months old is incredibly sneezy, but with no other symptoms. He has no runny nose, no mucus, no watery eyes - it's just achoo achoo all day long. I have not introduced anything new into our household, so I am baffled. What should I do? Any advice is much...
