Strict diets are usually not good for overweight cats as it can easily lead to health problems. You'd be better off with more exercise and maybe trying to switch his food to one that is less fattening. If you do that introduce the change gradually over the course of a month or so. (like 90% of...
I started using them a couple years back when my cat's bladder became inflamed. The most commonly found one is Aqua Fountain and while it does absolutely do the job and is cheaper then most, I've had two break on me and because they're plastic they need more upkeep. I've heard the ceramic ones...
Stress can do a number on cats. Cats do not like change and changes like new pets and moving can be very traumatic to them. I have one of the most neurotic cats of all time. When I tried to move him into my new apartment he had several health issues. I know a lot of things can affect a cats...
I'm working on making inside more Tuna friendly, but am working on a very limited budget (my credit score is already suffering from this little guy) I'll invest in a climbing post when I can afford it though :) For now I have plastic crates stacked up by the window.
Try a bit of hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball. You don't want to use too much moisture because cats can have issues if fluid gets in their ears. After that just monitor him, if it seems to be healing okay and isn't getting infected and he isn't having any strange reactions (such as a fever or...
Cats do get sick from time to time. It's usually not something you need to worry about so long as it doesn't keep happening. I understand the panic though. I freak out every time any of my cats get sick regardless of whether it's warranted or not.
Thanks. :) I know they needed to give him three and two of them were rabies and leukemia (because while I'm trying very hard to keep him in, he is trying equally hard to not be in.) He also got a blood test to make sure he didn't have leukemia. I don't know if they gave him all of them because...
I would call your vet. Until you can get her in try to entice her with something she doesn't get to eat very often like soft cat food, canned tuna...even something like chicken or steak whatever you can do to make her want to eat. Cats can't go very long without eating. I had a cat who was just...
I took my indoor/outdoor part time porch cat to the vet to get his vaccines yesterday, so I guess hes officially my cat now and he probably needs to get used to being inside most of the time despite his objections. Yesterday he was okay, a little sleepy and maybe eating smaller amounts at a time...
I say my cat, but at this point he's only about 2/3 my cat. He started out as a stray and over the last three or four months has warmed up to me to the point where I can keep him inside for about a day before he starts crying to go back out again.
About a month ago he came to me with a mangled...
