    Sick Cat...suggestions?

    I have a 13 year old female cat. She was my cat for 12 years until I moved out and had to leave her with my parents. Well, I went to visit and saw my kitty and was shocked. She looked terrible! Her fur is dirty, she is skinny, and constantly leaves the tip of her tongue out. She won’t eat. She...

    Is red clover poisonous to cats? I have researched different sites and some say clover is poisonous and others say you can give it to your cat. I gave my cat some Thursday night and every since he has been vomiting every time he tries to eat. I didn't make the connection until I gave him a...

    2 year old cat with diarrhea

    My cat Charlie has diarrhea and has had it for a few days now. It isn't real frequent, but he goes around the house "oozing" out of his back end. It smells pretty bad and he keeps dripping on the carpet which is a pain to clean up. I thought it may have been from him chewing on the Christmas...

    Pet wipes vs baby wipes?

    I was looking at the grooming products at the store today and I noticed that they have "wet wipes" for pets. What are the difference between these and the wet wipes they sell for babies? They look identical but with a different label. The pet wipes did not have an ingredient list so I could not...

    Two and a half days post-spay

    Just thought I'd give everybody an update on my Kitty. She was spayed on Friday morning and besides thinking she is going to go crazy penned up in my bedroom for a week she appears to be doing fine. I examine her incision twice a day for problems and so far so good. The red has faded to a slight...

    My cat was spayed today...

    My cat was spayed this morning and she is home already! Is this pretty normal? She appears to be doing pretty well, though as can be expected she is pretty groggy and sleepy. I need some further advice here. Should I not pick her up at all or too much? I did pick her up once and she yelped. I...

    Vaccine side effects?

    My cat had her first shots today (the vet figures she is around 8-9 months old) and she has been really sleepy since. She would not come when I called her and I found her curled up behind something sleeping. Is this a normal reaction to vaccines? She had rabies and distemper shots. I also...

    Update on Graycie...

    Well, Graycie is a few days over seven weeks old now, and last night she finally decided she would eat canned cat food and she ate half of a 3 oz can and had some more this morning. Is it normal of them to almost stop drinking formula "cold turkey" when they start eating solids? She acts like...

    How do you get them to eat??

    My kitten is 6 weeks old today (as near as I can figure) and she isn't showing interest in eating anything besides formula. I offer her canned food and she will lick at it a little and that is it. It is making me start to despair that she will ever eat anything but formula. Somebody told me that...
