My semi-feral has been inside 3 months now (someone had reported me for feeding her and I feared for her safety). She was not doing well (depressed) so the other day I gave her 0.125 mg of lorazepam. She did great - she came out of hiding, ate and played often. :banana1: I did this for the...

My girl's liver numbers are quite elevated since being on methimazole for hyperthyroidism. The meds are helping her (T4 now in normal range), but liver numbers are rising (in "high" range). Vet wants to increase meds. Does anyone have experience with this? What did you do? Maybe an Rx...

My semi-feral is now indoors, in her own room (long story, but she was inside two years ago, got out and became trap-savvy and has been living on my lanai, happy as a clam for the past two months). She has only been inside a few days and did great the first two nights, now seems to be taking...

How often do you a total litter box change-out? I now have 4 litter boxes that hold 20 pounds of litter each (I have giant cats). I don't want to scrimp - their health comes before mine - but it does get really costly. I am thinking of maybe switching to non-clumping, even though it...

I am trying to tame my semi-feral who has been on my screened lanai since 3/23 (someone had reported me for feeding her so I started feeding her out back and cut a hole in my screen): Someone reported me for feeding ferals.). She seems happy out there and has everything she needs, but still...

I have 4 cats and can't decide if the work/cost of litter lockers are worth it. I have tried Litter Genie and Litter Champ, and much prefer Litter Champ, however, between the cost of refills and cleaning the actual LC, I am just not sure it is worth it anymore. Plus, it stinks, so I find...

I am so upset and angry right now I just wanted to vent. I have lived in this apartment for 5 years and I was feeding one semi-feral and now there are two. I have a feeling who may have reported me, but I am not 100% sure. I leave the food out for 5 minutes, watch through a window and then...

I have 3 cats in an apartment. For the past few weeks, one won't cover her poop. It is a serious problem, as the smell is unbearable. I am not home 24/7 to cover it up. I wouldn't mind buying a Littermaid, but my cats are far too large for it. Her poo looks normal and there have been...

I just wondered how your cats have tolerated the medicine for this? I trust my vet and I am very glad we now know the reason for her weight loss. I just hope she can tolerate the pills. She is young - only about 8.5 years old.

My feral will be back inside soon (hopefully) and while I had her litter box trained at one time, she has been outdoors and may not remember once back inside. So....should I stock up on Cat Attract or the Touch of Outdoors litter to get her reacclimated? The Outdoors stuff is cheaper, but I...

My sweet girl of 8 years had blood in her stool - sort of bright, not dark red. I had been seeing this for a few days, but with 3 cats, I wasn't sure who it was. Her stool was on the runnier side, but not so much that I would call it diahreah. I sometimes wipe her butt because she is...

I just received my new rug that is shag style, thick and soft since I have balance issues and worry about falling. One of my cats won't walk on it. Is this normal? I love the rug and not even sure I can return it even if I wanted to. It is polypropylene, but very soft. I know natural...

I know it has only been 2 months (although, I had fed her outside for nearly a year), but I wish so much I could pet her. She will eat treats near my hand, so that is good, but if I try to pet her she cringes. Today, I guess I got too close and she clawed at me. I feel badly I scared her...

I have 4 cats and use dispensers since I live alone, in case of emergency, etc. They are not timed, just the manual kind. Sometimes food gets "stuck" and I need to shake them. :fish: Should I get large bowls instead and place them in different areas? I thought I had to go to ER the...

Please any suggestions for cat litter on a budget with 4 FAT cats that use JUMBO BOXES (I'm talking 10.5 - 19 pound cats). One of them has occasional bouts of asthma so I have been doing well with Dr. Elsey Respiratory Relief, but I see it has now gone up to more than $ 14.00 for the 20 lb...

My girl of 8 years started acting weird several days ago, hiding under the bed and "hammoking" under there. She would not eat unless I put food under the bed. I do not know why she was hiding (no changes in the house and I live alone). One day, she ran out and was hyperventilating. I...

Some of you are familiar with the feral I have been feeding for several months and trying to tame because I am moving in a few months. I probably will have to break my lease due to the "element" that is moving in and the noise levels, etc. I wanted to bring my feral with me (I also have other...

My sweet girl that I have had for 8 years has been "hammocking" under the bed for days and won't come out. She does not seem sick, as she will scarf down food if I put it near her. She also purrs when I reach under the bed to pet her. Should I wait it out a few more days? There have...

I have been feeding a feral cat for several months and trapped her to bring her inside since I will be moving this summer (I feel she is dependent on me at this point). After only a few minutes in the trap, I freaked out and let her go because my heart was breaking as she yowled and threw...

I am spending a lot on supplies each month (around $ 200.00, sometimes more). I have 3 cats (about to take in a 4th as soon as I can catch her) and four litter boxes. One makes crystals so he has to be on prescription food. The others get Fancy Feast and the feral gets Friskies. I also...
