My 10 month old male kitty has been throwing up hairballs weekly/bi-weekly, maybe like 2-4 times a month, for the last couple months. I figured it was because of the winter fur, but is this normal? He is a Birman and they don't even have an undercoat. I remember reading somewhere that healthy...

For the xmas holiday we usually go visit my mom's place and stay a couple days. This is my first year with cats and wondering if I can bring them with me. Will being in a new house for a day or 2 be really stressful for them? The alternative is me cutting the holiday short so I can get back in...

He's poos are generally pretty solid, but just soft enough that there's often poo streaks in his hair that I have to wash up.. It seems no matter what type of food I give him it's always the same.. Is there anything I can give him - some sort of supplement to his regular food - to help keep his...

My 6 month old boy just got castrated a couple days ago. After the first day he started getting fur stuck to the incision overnight (there was no stitches, just left open). There's now a rather large patch of fur stuck on there pretty good. Is this normal? Or should I try to loosen it free with...

Hey guys, I just got a new kitten at 11 weeks.. He is 12 weeks now. But the last few days he has been having diarrhea and then vomiting immediately after going (he isn't vomiting any other time, so I suspect it's not due to the food..) The first time he threw up I found a small piece of...

I just got my 2nd kitten! He's 11 weeks old but he's *so* tiny he looks more like 7 weeks? His mother was apparently very/small thin and probably didn't produce enough milk. Is there anything special I can give him to fatten him up and make sure he gets all his nutrients?

I was hoping someone could take a look at this kitty for me.. I made an album also including his two siblings and his mom/dad ++ Does he seem typically British Shorthair? I'm not super familiar with it, but his mouth/muzzle(?) looks a little bit strange? As does the mothers? Do you think he...

My 5 month kitty suddenly had some slimy looking urine - like it had some white-ish mucus in it?? What is this? He recently had a bad case of diahrea, which cleared itself up after a diet of cooked chicken + pumpkin. His diahrea stopped and he had no poop for like 2 days, then had a nice solid...

My kitty suddenly started having very loose stools several times daily. He'll go very often (3-4) times in a short span to get it all out, and sometimes it seems like there's some mucus in there, or at least I notice it on his butt afterwards when i clean him.. I'm not sure what to do or what...

I have a 4 month (19 week) old kitten named Boba. He's a Birman, which is known for being a very social breed who likes other cats. He's become *very* attached to me and demands almost constant attention. He sleeps on my pillow right next to my face all night, follows me from room to room and...

I'm wondering because mine does not seem to.. He is 4 months old and grooms his ball often enough, lol. But never seen him actually licking his actual butt-hole. Sometimes he has tiny bits of crusty poo leftover there so I wipe it off for him with a baby-wipe or warm damp cloth.. Is he supposed...

Hey guys.. I have a 4 month old kitty, and he has these very small black specks of something on his chin. He's had them since I got him as far as I recall.. Any idea what it could be? Is it just dirt? or blackheads? What can I do to clear it up and prevent it? (sorry, hard to capture on my camera)

I'm feeding my kitty a mix of Orijen and Royal Canin Kitten at the moment, and just wondering how long I can safely leave these out once taken from the bag.

I've read somewhere (sorry don't remember where it was..) that dry and wet food digest at different rates (wet digests faster/easier due to moisture content).. so ideally you should not be feeding your cat wet and dry at the same time. Does anyone know more about this?

http://avmajournals.avma.org/doi/pdf/10.2460/javma.243.11.1549 Any thoughts?? I really like the idea of raw feeding and its benefits but I don't want to put kitty at any risk..

My kitten, Boba, is almost 15 weeks. He's been on a raw diet since I got him, so for about 2 weeks. He's been fine on it, but today he threw up this morning around 8am about 30 min after his meal.. He had lunch a few hours later around 1pm and was fine after that.. But now he threw up again at...

I have a Birman kitty - 14 weeks - he is the biggest baby and seems needs company *all* day and night. I feel like his personal slave playing with him, cuddling him or otherwise giving him attention all day. If I leave the room for just a few minutes, he'll come looking for me and following me...

He's 13 weeks old and just got him on Sunday. I immediately started him a raw diet (mixed with some commercial wet food for the first day or 2). On Tuesday (i think) he pooped. But he hasn't since then so I'm getting a bit worried.. He's only had 1-2 chicken wings over the course of this week -...

How do you deal with kitten dragging his food all over the kitchen floor? I tried a mat under his plate but he drags it off that as well. Kind of tiresome to have to clean the floor after every meal! Also, should I be worried about him walking around on the raw meat residue and then spreading...

Just got a new kitty, 13 weeks old. He's only been here a couple days now so I know he's still a little stressed out and missing his litter-mates. He doesn't like to be alone and starts meowing if I leave the room or not giving him enough attention/play. When we go to bed in the evening he's...
