Well, I'm happy to say my cat seems to be OK today. :) But the treats are definitely out. Yes, she eats dry food. When she was a kitten she ate wet food, but the vet recommended switching to a dry obesity formula. I know opinions on this are mixed (some vets say wet is better, others swear by...

Really? I've been to different vets and they all recommend products with petroleum jelly (I'm sure they are safe for the cats, otherwise they wouldn't be for sale). I've tried all the brands on the market here. But anyway, she decided she doesn't like that. I don't think I can feed her...

Thanks for the replies. She seems to be alright now, but I was a little scared and will keep an eye out to see if her behavior changes. I think maybe she just became too stressed when she vomited? She doesn't vomit very often, she used to cough up fur balls with some frequency, but ever since I...

Hello. I gave my cat two Whiskas hairball control treats and a short time later she vomited (not fur, just food she had ingested earlier). I groom her frequently, but she's very furry. :( She does this on occasion, but as soon as she vomits, she goes back to her normal, playful self. But...

Oh, I'm keeping the carrier I already have for the vet trips, I really just need something smaller and more comfortable for all other trips. This is the carrier I have (I put one of my cat's bed's inside, so she's more comfortable and then cover it partially with one of her blankets)...

Hi, thanks for your reply. That fold-out part looks handy for car travel. But yes, my cat would probably be more comfortable with something a little more snug, with fewer mesh panels, so she can still take a peek, but not be overwhelmed. Also, looking for something small (I have a small frame...

Hello, I have a nice top-opening metal carrier that I use to take the cat to the vet, but the cat doesn't like it very much (I think maybe because she's trapped but all sides are "open"? I always put a blanket over the carrier and that seems to help her settle down). While I do intend to keep...

Thank you, I will do that! Interesting how animals react to these things, it was such a small stain and I had to get really close to the board to pick up the scent.

Hello. My cat likes sleeping on the ironing board. Today I was ironing, and the cat became very interested in the board. I thought it was because she likes to lie down on the freshly ironed clothes, but she was acting strange and smelling the board, very agitated... when I tried to pick her up...
