Hey everyone -- it's been a while since I've posted here. I apologize in advance that this is so long -- But I figured I could get some feedback on a certain issue. My cats are normally the picture of health (girl - Cassie, boy - Napoleon Dynamite) and besides checkups or whatever, they are...

Hi g uys, I had a question...my cat Napoleon Dynamite is a seemingly healthy kitty but tonight he vomited nearly ALL of his dinner from tonight (still visible, chunks). It is very rare he does that, but he seems fine now, ready to play. But here's the kicker - when I was trying to clean it up...

I'm not sure if I should even post this here, but I just wanted to shout from the roof tops about what a better cat owner this site has made me. Even makes me more knowledgeable for other's cats as well. The reason I thank the site is because a few weeks back, my dad called me with concern...

Hi guys, I have a question for those of you experts on behavior. Is it possible for a domineering cat to NOT be the "alpha cat?" For example, Napoleon D. can be very domineering at times, but I don't think he is the alpha, b/c Cassie fights back when he is. Sometimes, he does win their...

As many of you have followed, Cassie and Napoleon generally haven't had the *easiest* of introductions, but hey, who does right? They still bicker, but it's more like an old married couple now than two cats who hate each other (which I'll take any day) The last two mornings have melted my...

Napoleon for the past few weeks has had a "scooting" problem. He will poop, then drag his butt across the floor. When he does it on the floor, it's not so much a problem, but he's been doing it on rugs, furniture and our bed...have had to clean house a bunch of times. And the problem doesn't...

Hi guys, Thanks to those who were able to send me some good vibes for my flight back from India. I made it home! BF surprised me...he told me he wouldn't be able to get back home in time, and he was waiting by the door for me when my car pulled up I also wanted to note that my cats...have...

here goes. As many of you know, I've been in India for the past two weeks and some change. I am leaving to go home tonight. While my trip hasn't been *bad* it hasn't been all chocolate and roses either (bad hotel stay when other colleagues who had been here before me stayed at 5-star resorts...

...miss your kitties more than you miss your spouse, significant other, family members, etc??? I'm in India for this week and leaving early next week, but each night I talk to my boyfriend, he puts me on speaker so I can say good night to my kitties. I miss them so much, it's going to make me...

Napoleon has an extremely sensitive tummy. He gets the runs quite a bit (especially after wet food, so no more for him) and we've eliminated parasites as a reason, so does anyone have any other suggestions as to what type of food you can feed a kitty with a sensitive tummy? Is there a brand...

To give an example...he drags his butt on the floor (or furniture...or my freshly washed comforter...) after he poops What could cause this? He has just done this in the past 2 days. He had a "dingleberry" off his butt the other day, but it seemed like a fluke (he didn't have diarrehea or...

I never got a flu shot in my life, until today. My health practioner at work recommended it because of my trip to India, I may be exposed to strains different from what I am used to. So I got the shot, but I heard that you can get symptoms of flu from the shot (that go away pretty quickly). I...

Is it possible for neutered males to "spray" at all? Thoughts?

FSAs are touted as this great "pre-tax" benefit, where one can basically pre-expense their health bills for the year (so for example, you know you need to buy a year's worth of disposable contact lenses, and they cost $100, you can option to expense $100 of your pre-tax dollars, but you have to...

The reason I ask is that Napoleon has gotten bigger since we brought him home...bigger not in the sense of "plump" (LOL, that's Cassie's job), but longer and seems to be growing into his body. They estimated his age to be 3 y/o but by the way he a.) acts and b.) has grown, I wonder if they...

Besides the obvious telltale signs in the litter box...what else should I be concerned with in thinking my kitty might have parasites?

OK sorry for the TMI, but I figured, where else could I ask about cat poop and no one would think I was a crazy lady? Anyway, Napoleon is a very healthy kitty. He has a hearty appetite and is very active with the many toys we have for him and Cassie (sometimes he and Cassie think *they* are...

Hey, most of you know about my never ending saga with Cassie and Napoleon. LOL Well, now that things are getting more *manageable* between them there is something else (isn't there?) that hasn't stopped with time. Basically, Napoleon (we think) was neglected in his previous household. He is...

Yeah, I've pretty much been in denial about it, but it looks like the real deal, and I'm going for business. I've got a list of things to do before then...and have to be militant about what I put in my body when i'm there (e.g. no ice cubes in my drinks, which will KILL ME since I put ice in...

My vet is kind of more holistically oriented for lack of a better term and he really stresses a more healthy, "real food" type of diet for cats -- which I agree with for humans as well as pets . However...of course you knew this was coming...I am having a hard time finding treats that not only...
