OK, good to know.   Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I understood that cats shouldn't eat beef liver because of high levels of vitamin A. If that's incorrect, I appreciate your saying so. Thanks, too, for your input on pork liver. It'll be easier to serve them that occasionally than chicken liver.

I know cats shouldn't eat beef liver, but what about pork liver? I normally give my cats chicken liver, but I can't always find it in the store, and they are so little that it seems like extra work to rinse and dry them. Is there any reason I can't give pork liver to balance their PMR?

One of my cats had a bout of constipation a couple of weeks ago and I had to give him a laxative. Since I saw Laxatone in the store the other day I thought maybe it would be worth having on hand for just in case, that's all. I'll just stick with petroleum jelly. Thanks for the advice!

I'm in a position to buy a few things that I can't normally get where I live, and I was wondering if Laxatone is the kind of thing that's good to keep on hand or if something like Vaseline does basically the same thing. Any opinions out there?

I find a nice, hot shower works wonders. Of course, that's not an option if you are at work!

I also agree that two are better than one! You will find that they do all their rough play together and then come to you for cuddles. It's also so adorable when they curl up together! As for bullying, It's pretty normal for one cat to be dominant but that is not a bad thing and it doesn't mean...

Aww, he sounds adorable! Good for you for adopting a 2 year old! The "biting" sounds like he's either showing affection, or like a sign that he wants to play as cats do. My two roughhouse a lot, and I'm convinced that if we only had one we'd have affectionate and playful scratches all over our...

Thought I'd give this a bump even though it's a little old. I wish I'd read this more carefully the first time I saw it; I just brought Honey Pie home from an overnight vet stay because he bit the leaf of an Easter lily that I thought was in a safe place. The only reason I had it was because my...

Fantastic! Time to break out the champagne and dance around your new kitchen!

I suspect the constipation may have been caused by one of three things: either from a handful of dry food I gave them several nights ago when we were short on raw, or from us being out of liver for a week, or from ingesting too much hair (our other kitty has very thick fur and a friend of ours...

I just took another look and the little pink blister is gone. I'll bet you were right, Bigperm; it was probably from him scooting around so much. Would something like squash work instead of pumpkin?

His normal diet is raw; I can't get canned pumpkin here and the vet isn't available until Monday.  I can syringe feed him if necessary, but I'm hoping there's some other home remedy to try first. Maybe extra egg yolks?

Tiramisu has been acting constipated since yesterday. He scoots around on his bum and his stool yesterday was hard and dry. This morning, he threw up and didn't eat breakfast; and just now I see that he has what looks like a blister, or pink bubble, on top of his anus. Could that be caused by...

Do call your vet and ask if there's something you can give him for the pain. Since Tigger is the one showing aggression, it could also be that it's his way of telling the other cats to back off because he hurts too much to be with them. Hope he gets better soon!
