    5 Month Old Kitten Throw Up

    Pretty self-explanatory. Our kitten was just exploring the new mattress and he threw up on top of it. The throw up looked exactly like his wet food and he had eaten 2-3 hours prior. Nothing was found in it. This is the first time he's thrown up with us ever and he came from a shelter so his...

    Disinfecting Cloth Furniture Safely?

    We just got a used couch and bed and are interested in disinfecting them. I've heard lysol is bad but I can easily keep the cat away while they dry. Any natural alternatives?

    Cat Ate Cotton Bud?

    I found my cat digging through the trash chewing on a q-tip bud. When I went to stop him I found he ate one of the ends (the cotton part). It's so tiny will he pass it on his own?

    Kitten Eats Wet But Prefers Dry

    Our newly adopted kitten around 3 months old prefers dry over wet (he ate dry in the shelter). I would prefer a raw diet but thats impossible here in our Japanese town. While waiting for my wet kitten food to come in, I've been feeding him Newmans own wet food which is 5.5oz a can. I would say...

    Cat Carrier Second-hand Dis-infection? Did I Do It Right?

    Hi! We just got a carrier second hand. They're hard to find in our small Japanese town. I scrubbed it with non-scented dish soap and warm water, rinsed it, and let it dry. Then I used a 1:32 bleach water mixture and soaked each part of the carrier thoroughly in it and let it dry. Then I rinsed...

    New Shelter Kitten Eye Leakage?

    Hi! We just picked up our first kitten from the shelter 2 weeks ago. He is estimated to be 3 months old and weighs 6ibs. Just 2-3 days ago he started sneezing once in a while. Today he woke up and I noticed yellow/white discharge from his left eye. Kind of like eye boogers humans get. His eye...
