    cat acne

    Apparently Galway is going through her teens at 2 yrs old...she's been diagnosed with cat acne, but my vet said there isn't a whole lot of treatment/products for it beyond good old fashioned soap and water or even using human products. Does anyone have any methods/info they'd like to share for...

    accidental partial spay

    Has anyone ever heard of a cat being spayed but the vets leaving in a piece of ovary? Is this common? I just have to have my cat "re-spayed" because when they did it the first time (before I adopted her), they left a piece of ovary in and she went into heat.

    Sinusitis?

    Does anyone know anything about sinusitis? I took my almost-two year old cat to the vet after she sneezed and wasn't drinking water as well as seemed mildly lethargic. The vet did a check up and said that she didn't have a fever, her eyes and nose weren't crusty, and since she was still eating...

    personality switch

    i recently adopted two cats (ages 1 1/2 and 2), one boy and one girl, from a foster home. They seemingly adjusted well over the last month but all of a sudden, in the last few days, they appear to have completely traded personalities. The one that was reserved and only liked attention when she...
