    Experience With Uti (or Similar Symptoms)?

    Soleil peed on our bed today and I initially put it off as a behavioral issue as the cleaner was here at the time. But then I saw her straining to pee for about 3-5 minutes at a time in the garden and in the litterboxes. She was also in lots of discomfort when pooping (very vocal and straining)...

    Natural, Low Tracking Litter (uk Based)

    Hi, I'm in the UK so not all brands that are available in the US are available here. I order on zooplus Pet Supplies at zooplus Online Pet Shop, Pet Food & Pet Accessories.

    Suddenly very vocal - driving us nuts!

    Our Soleil (7 yr old female, spayed) has been an indoor cat for most of the time, though she would take every opportunity to be on the balcony. We once (about 2 yrs ago) lived in a house and let her roam but the past 2+ years she was indoor again. A few months ago we moved into a house again...

    Advice for Cat Acne

    Hi all, Singa recently developed cat acne. Unfortunately, I noticed it very late and it had already spread quite heavily across the chin. Luckily I had a vet appointment scheduled a few days later and the doc confirmed that it is acne and gave me a solution (light pink - i think diluted with...

    Hi, I just came to my mom's house who is kindly 'boarding' my two kitties until they are allowed to come to the UK. They have been with my mom for 4-5 months now and have really adjusted well.

    Hairballs

    I searched a bit around on this topic, but I couldnt find the answer to my question :P 'What do the hairball gels actually do?' I know it is a lubricant of some sort. But does this mean it facilitates the coughing-up of the hairball or does the hairball take the backdoor with the gel? I...

    How to motivate her to play?

    Ever since we got Soleil in February, Singa has become very quite - almost lethargic. She used to be very playful and active, but now she just sleeps or sits around and watches Soleil play. Singa is now 2.5 yrs old - not old I would say. Recently the doc said that with her 5.25 kg she is...

    What is the difference between normal clay and multi-cat clay litter?

    Sorry for the goofy question, but I recently saw the litter I am using (Cat's Pride natural clay litter) as a multi-cat version. I checked the website and I totally don't get the difference. Is it just the same but sold at a different price to fool you??
