To answer the questions about the natural diet: I feed my cats 75% meat and then give them a veggie mix that I've made myself. I puree some veggies, add vitamin E, flax seed, and bran for the cats. They really seem to enjoy their food. As for the fish oils I can't give them to Martin as any...

Here it is. I currently have 3 indoor cats, all short haired, and all "fixed". Two females and one male. The cats are all on a "natural" diet recommended by my veterinarian. The girls have wonderful, sleek coats that rarely shed and need little care. Martin, on the other hand, sheds...

I did introduce them one-on-one and they got along fairly well. They were even doing well with all of them together. It's just in the last day or two that he's become aggressive towards the two cats. I did try them again one-on-one thinking he was being overwhelmed and he tried to corner both...

So my roommate recently adopted a 3 yr old neutered male. I have 2 spayed females ages 2 yrs and 9 months. Anyway, I used the guidelines for introducing new cats etc for the last 3 weeks. Last week we started gradually introducing the cats (one at a time) to each other. There was a little...

Hi! I have a cat that did the same thing when I first got her. She was content in the house and then all of the sudden wanted outside. I did the same things that you did: toys, harness, spaying, the works. (She's not a Himmi but Abyssinian/Bengal). Anyway, the best advice I have is to ignore...

Hi! I was reading through your threads and was wondering if you used the Feliway plug in. I recently adopted a stray and went through those steps outlined in the introducing new cats. It'e been 3 very LONG weeks and the same things happened with my old cats and the new one. I still can't leave...

Nope she's definately not playing with the towel. Her behaviour is very aggressive. I really wish she were just playing. It would make my life much easier.

Here's the deal. I've recently moved into a town house with my two cats. Both are spayed females ages 3 and 9 months. Anyway, the previous residents abandoned their cat. My roommate took it to the vet and everything checks out OK. He's a 3 yr neutered male, declawed, in good shape. We've tried...

I just took my 19 yr. old Siamese into the vet on Monday. She'd been very tender when picked up on Sunday morning. After a huge bill and a few x-rays, it's been determined that she has advanced osteoarthritis in her sternum. It's causing some significiant problems with her trachea and breathing...

I have a 19 yr old Siamese that developed a cough and then a kind of "wheezing" about 4 yrs ago. I had her into the vet when I first noticed and her lungs sounded fine, so I just did what you did-changed the diet, air and started hairball regimine.The cough and wheezing stayed pretty consistent...

Hi Everyone, I just joined yesterday. I had a question about my older cat's health, and was amazed at the quick replies I received. I really look forward to using this site. Anyway, I'm a recent college graduate and work in biomedical reseach. Yippie! The "real world" is pretty tiring I...

She had been grooming more often, but I started brushing her more often and supplimenting hairball medication in with her food. This seemed to take care of the problem, and I haven't noticed her excessively grooming since. Thanks for the information about your cats. It is reassuring to know...

I have a 19 yr. female, Old Style Siamese. Over the past couple of months, she has developed a peculiar breathing "problem." Basically, she sounds like she is having asthma attacks. I have had her to the vet. for the "problem" and have been told that she's in excellent health for her age, and...
