    Anal Gland Rupture

    Yes, adipose tissue is the medical term for fatty tissue. The vet said it would take about 2 weeks because her infection was severe. It has healed a lot since it started.

    Toxic or Not

    Gerber daisies are nontoxic for cats so if they decide to take a taste there isn't a risk for anything. If you've never had plants/flowers around your. Cat before just keep on eye on him or her that they don't try to knock the vase over. My cat will usually try to eat leaves off plants or...

    Bathing a cat

    Water + kitty = OMG (at least for most) My kitty is undergoing treatment for an abscessed anal gland and due to this she is having troubles using her litter box and is peeing on herself. I think due to the pain of her abscess. She is wearing An e collar but has discovered she can run her wound...

    Urine Smell

    I'd take your kitty to the vet. Especially if his drinking and eating haven't changed. The urine shouldn't be so strong smelling all of a sudden. I know it doesn't smell like roses but it's still worth a call.
