I tried searching for this thinking that there MUST have been somebody else with this problem at some time but came up with nothing. So here is the story ... DH and I adopted a 12 week old kitten back in September. We already had two other 6 year old cats. We brought him home and they all don't...

No that isn't it ... but thanks for trying!! That's a very interesting product. I can't imagine my cat actually staying in it!

I'm really hoping somebody knows what I am talking about. Every year I go to the home show and there is a woman there selling a cat carrier that's more like a blanket. It would enable a person to be able to hold the cat so they are more comfy ... but you can also just put them on the back seat...

That's great of you to take him in!! Sorry to hijack but I have a question too. Katiemae, you said amoxycillin does nothing? We just found out our kitten has FeLV and has been on amoxy for a couple of weeks now. He's making progress but VERY slowly. We weren't sure if that was normal for an...

How would you describe a cat that's anxious? Maybe I just don't know what to look for.

Well hopefully that will work for you kitty. The reason I don't want to put Bitsy on the anti-depressants is because she doesn't seem depressed to me. He said that cats, like humans, hide it sometimes. And because she doesn't seem to have any other cause (thus far) for her recurring UTI's... he...

Well he wants to find out more after I collect the urine before he treats her for anything. For this, he gave me a little container of something called NoSorb. They look like little beads. I'm supposed to put them in a newly cleaned litter box (with no litter) then put her in the bathroom over...

So I took Bitsy to the vet yesterday but he was unable to collect any urine because her bladder was empty. So he gave me a method in which to do that myself. He said that based on her symptoms he thinks she has idiopathic lower urinary tract disease which means, apparently, that there's no known...

Thanks everyone! When I said I wanted to name them Itsy and Bitsy people said I shouldn't because they'd never be able to tell their names apart. Amazingly enough, they can. People have more trouble. I always have to say "Bitsy... with a B" or "Itsy... with an I."

I will try that. Every now and then I give both my kitties the juice from tuna. But somebody told me recently that fish can be a cause of UTI's. Does that have any validity? She does drink water. I've seen her do so. But I know she'd get really excited about chicken broth. Would that have to be...

Well they're not itsy bitsy anymore... but their names are. I'm new here and my kittens are Itsy and Bitsy. I came to this forum to get help with the latter. I've had my two girls for almost 3 years now and they're pretty much my world. I got them both, on the same day, from a no-kill shelter...

Yes we've done that as well and it works better than anything else. But the doctor's theory has always been that her problems are caused by stress so we have to find an unstressful way to medicate her. Holding her by the scruff of her neck agitates her and makes her mad. So immediately after we...

Well I can switch her over to all wet foods, but giving her a syringe would not work. She has been labeled by many as the most difficult cat they've ever had to deal with as far as giving meds. She's already rather large (14lbs I think) and extremely strong. We've learned from experience that...

Yes she eats both Nutro Natural Wet and Max Cat wet. This is how I give her her meds. I got a chance to talk to the vet today and he says that he thinks she has lower urinary tract disease and he wants to do a culture to see if she has cytosis... I think that's what it was. She's had many many...

Hey everybody. I'm new on this site but have posted on others seeking help for this problem. My cat (a girl... Bitsy) is prone to UTI's, crystals, and constipation. She's only 3 years old but has been on constant medication since she was about one, if I remember correctly. It started with...
