My indoor juvenile cat, keeps darting outside every chance he gets. It's become a game of chase for him. And if he hears you open the door, he runs through the house at full speed and darts out under your feet. I've had 2 cats hit by cars. I don't really want another outdoor cat but he is...

My kittens are rather stinky. I had them tested at the vets and everything looked fine (no worms, coccidia or anything else). I tried several different cat foods and it hasn't helped. It has occurred to me that they could still have coccidia? Or perhaps they are eating too much? Both are a bit...

I adopted 2 kittens from different litters. Kept them in the same room in separate cages until they were healthy. Introduction went fairly well. They have been together for about 1.5 months. The boy kitten is terribly hyperactive and has been playing too roughly with the little girl. Today she...

My best cat, Pounce has passed away. I have other cats and new kittens to play with, but my heart is broken. I don't really feel anything for the new kittens yet. They just seem so average. The little girl kitten reminds me in many ways of my Isabelle who passed away a couple years ago, but I...

I adopted 2 kittens from different litters. The little girl kitten is a sweetheart. The little boy is nice when you first see him- all purrs and happy, but he doesn't like holding still. Sometimes when you try to hold him he starts complaining and then growls or swipes at you aggressively. He is...

Has anyone had vision return with treatment for high blood pressure? My 17 year old cat has this condition. The vet said he may remain blind or vision could return, but it is unlikely.

I'm starting to experiment with home cooked meals. Just made 6 lbs of chicken and 6lbs of pork in the pressure cooker for the cats. Plan to add either sweet potato or pumpkin, as my cats love both. Right now, they get two meals of commercial cat food, and my home cooked meals for lunch. But...

Has anyone added flaxseed to their cats diet? My girl has breast cancer and studies in people have shown flaxseed can slow cancer growth. I believe IAMs adds flaxseed to some of their foods. Just wondering if it is something my cat will tolerate? If we are lucky, my girl has one year left to live.

Isabelle had surgery to remove three lumps. Today is the 3rd day after surgery. She was on onisor for pain relief. Today we switched to buprenex for the next 3 days. Is buprenex safe and should i be concerned about side effects? Also her first 2 incisions are healing well. The 3rd incision is...

I ran out of dry cat food and switched Caspian to wild calling turkey a few days ago. The new dry food came in but he wouldn't touch it. Thinking he was spoiled from the canned food, i kept feeding it (the canned). Today he refused to eat completely. I finally got him to eat some dry food...

My cat actively looks for plastic to eat. First it was the shower curtain. He bit holes into it all the way down the edge (without actually eating pieces). I now keep the bathroom locked. Then at dinner time, as I dish out their food, he jumps into the pantry and chews on the plastic they...

I took Isabelle to the vet for presumed breast cancer. At first we were going to go straight for x rays, bloodwork, and surgery... But i had some additional questions. The vet came back in and i mentioned how it felt like she had fluid in her breasts as the one swelling was soft/moveable like...

My dear Isabelle has breast cancer. Unfortunately due to my terrible vet, the cancer started spreading. She had one pea sized lump which I took her in to get checked in December. I had a biopsy done- I ended up with some kid right out of college. She said she saw mixed cells on the biopsy but...

My cat Tru was diagnosed with IBD this week. Cancer in the gastrointestinal tract is possible but we need biopsies for that. She did not pass stool for 5 days. I gave her a tiny amount of glycerin suppository yesterday and she passed stool. Nothing yet today. The vet said not to worry. She...

I took Tru in for x rays this afternoon. The vet wanted us to get an ultrasound but no one had an opening until tomorrow. She stopped eating with vomiting on Sunday. Cannot keep food or water down. We did a repeat of yesterday - cerenia for vomiting and iv fluids. They placed a catheter for...
