This might be a silly question. I was doing a load of laundry today. I don't have my usual more natural brand of detergent because I'm traveling and using the hotel guest laundry, so I used Tide. I used extra to deal with a mold/must issue in some of my towels, and the entire load came out of...

You're right about that: it's pouring like heck for me right now. :lol: But I think I'm on the mend, and Muff seems fine too. She didn't like the smell at first, but I think she's gotten used to it. I spread a blanket on the floor since I can't keep her from walking there before it's thoroughly...

Anyone happen to know how safe Mrs. Meyers Lemon Verbena cleaning spray is? My cat tracked some grossness into the carpet and it's the only disinfectant I've got on hand. (It's 11 pm, I have Covid symptoms, and my car has a carbon monoxide leak; no stores for me). I just sprayed some all over...

Thank you! It's been a couple days, and I'm pretty sure Muff is all right. I think her biggest complaint right now is that this hotel room doesn't have any windows and she can't chatter at birds and bugs all day long like she usually does.

Hello, I'm in the process of moving across the country with my cat, Muff. I'm trying to keep driving days short for the good of both of us, but yesterday a hotel miscommunication meant I had to drive five extra hours to find a place that wasn't booked up. Muff has food, water, and a litterbox...

Thank you very much for your help. I did bring the leaves in too, but it was only the blossom petals that were falling off, and I know for a fact she didn't eat any leaves. Thanks again!

Today, after foolishly picking some crab apple blossom branches and arranging them in a vase, I did a Google search and learned that apple blossoms are poisonous to cats. I took the blossoms and put them back outside because it's just not worth it to me to put her in danger. She smelled them...

If it helps, I've researched the ingredients, and as far as I can tell the only one harmful to cats is phenothrin. There is 0.4% phenothrin in the entire bottle and she ingested two drops, probably less. My veterinarian is out of town this month, but I will see if I can at least call for...

Hello, I didn't notice that my flea comb had accidentally been sprayed with a very small amount of Hartz Ultraguard Home Spray. I've been very careful to keep it off of the animals and keep them out of the room while spraying, and now this... While I was combing my cat a few minutes ago, she...

Thanks a lot for your help! I'll look at those links.

(Two side notes... I can't take her to the vet just like that. Thanks to Covid, they're closed for anything but emergencies, and I also know our vet. He would just tell me to keep an eye on her. Most of the cats they deal with are farm cats who have been through far worse than a 15-20 foot...

Hello, For some background, my cat is a little over 7 months old, so still not full grown. We have an indoor balcony in our two-story house, where the upstairs hall looks down over the living room. My cat likes to walk alongside the edge. It's about 15 feet high, no higher than 20. About an...

Thank you all for your help. I'm picking up some canned food this afternoon. In the meantime, she suddenly started eating her dry food and drinking water, and she's been bounding and playing with all of her old energy. Maybe it was just a little bug and I'm a worrywart. (Just wait until I have...

I can't get her to my vet since he's only taking emergency cases. I called him and he said to get her some canned food and make sure she has enough water, and then just keep an eye on her. Does that sound safe? She hasn't vomited, stopped smacking her lips, and I watched her leave a very...

I read that showing interest in food but not eating it is also a a sign of nausea or stomach upset. She was up and about for a bit: used the litterbox and it was perfectly normal, played a little, rubbed against my ankles, jumped up on furniture, and darted downstairs when I went downstairs...

Hello. I'm afraid this might be pretty long. I want to get all the facts out there and get some sound advice. I should start off by saying that I've already emailed my local veterinarian, but he's not open until 8:00 and hasn't responded yet. In the meantime, I guess I need someone to tell me...
