    Unable to Urinate: Male Cat, need advice!

    What, specifically, are the UTI wet and dry foods you can recommend? I have a petsmart near me, maybe they will have something I can purchase?

    Unable to Urinate: Male Cat, need advice!

    Hello! THANK YOU to all who have posted a solution and advice to my little boy, Mr. Tibbs! After I last posted, he has been getting better. After going to the emergency after hours clinic, where a catheter was used, the next morning he was urinating in his towel. I took him to my actual vet...

    Unable to Urinate: Male Cat, need advice!

    I'm not sure of my cats age... I adopted him from the humane society 2 years ago, nearly to the day. He was a small cat, probably no more than 6 months old. My vet never told me his age... nor did he tell me normans age. I should have asked. So I'm guessing Mr. Tibbs is almost 3? Thank you...

    Unable to Urinate: Male Cat, need advice!

    I checked the urinalisis done by the after hours clinic. Ph said 7.5... does that mean good or bad? The normal vet gave me a bag of hills k/d, I'm guessing for the protein build-up. He hasn't been needing to urinate in awhile... I'm guessing he's uncomfortable from the catheter placed last...

    Unable to Urinate: Male Cat, need advice!

    I know what you might be thinking... take him to the vet!! My cat was unable to pass urine last night when I came home from work. I don't know how long he was in his litter pan, but I know he tried to urinate in the corner near his food bowl too. I immediately took him to an after hours vet...

    Does anyone else's cat lick plastic bags?

    I find this post really funny! Seriously, I thought my cats were freaks until I read these posts. Mr. Tibbs LOVES CD wrappers... and LOVES to chew on the plastic water bottle wrap that a 24 pack comes in. And Norman doesn't like to eat it, but he likes to climb into the empty water bottle...

    Licking and more licking!

    Yes, good ideas. As nasty as this sounds... yeah I think his licking was causing the moisture to get trapped, because on the paw where I took the caps off (pried them off, luckily he let me) it smelt kind of nasty, and it was a little brown. Eek. Smelt like his ear mites when I first got my...

    Licking and more licking!

    I've recently discovered those cool caps to put on cats nails, so you don't have them tairing up your furnature. One of my cats is content with them... The other one is nerodically licking his feet! He's had them for a few months, and so far he's been pretty good with them. But recently, he's...

I could look these questions up on the internet, and I have... but I keep reading about FIP but that's not...

    Anxiety or Sick??

    You all are so great! Thank you for the great advice!! Here's the update... I took him to the vet the next morning like I said I'd probably do, and I had to drop him off because the vet was busy... a few hours later, I was told the following... that he was hissing at them, so they needed to gas...

    Anxiety or Sick??

    Yep, I'm calling the vet in the morning. I think he's sick too. He's just not "normal norman". He drank some of the tuna water, but didn't bother eating the fish part. Then he walked away and hid under our dish hutch. (cool dark place). Norman never hids, never walks slow, always purrs, and...

    Anxiety or Sick??

    Nope, everything is the same... same food, same amount. Only thing different was that I wasn't home for 2 days... but Jay, my fiance, fed him and took care of them, and saw them 2 times a day... He's finally started purring again! I rubbed his belly and he purred like a car engine! He's coming...

    Anxiety or Sick??

    Hi! I really don't know what's going on with my cat, Norman. Norman usually LOVES to eat... purrs like a maniac... and comes running when I walk into the house (like a dog). I've been out of town for a few days, and I came home to my fiancÃ169 telling me that Norman hasn't been eating. So I...

    Do you blink?

    Hey! I've read all 25 responses to this blinking game, and I think it sounds like my cats could use some "Human to cat" blinking. It sounds cool. What's the best way to do this... slow and steady, or normal blinks, or fast repetitious blinks? I'd never heard of this before, so could someone tell...

    Meowing at strange hours of the night!

    Yeah, good answer, thank you! This might have been obvious to anyone else reading this thread, but honestly, I don't completely like the idea of my furry beasts sleeping on my pillow, but I'll give it a try... maybe he wont even come in? ... no they will, they've never been in my bedroom before...

    Random meowing?

    Hi! I just came across your post about your cat randomly meowing. My cat Norman does the same thing! I am having problems with it more at night than during the day when he sleeps. Currently, I'm upstairs in my computer room, and I hear Norman downstairs meowing... my other cat is sitting right...

    Meowing at strange hours of the night!

    That could be interesting. I don't like to let my cats in my room because their fur makes me sneeze and I get all congested at night. BUT I'd be willing to keep the door open a crack. If they want to come in, they will come in... I say "they" because I have 2 cats. The other cat, Mr. Tibbs...

    Meowing at strange hours of the night!

    Thank you for the advice, both of you! I feed both of my cats at night, with plenty of food to last until the next night. And plenty of water. I wonder that myself... what, is he out of food? But no, there's tons of food when I wake up, because there's enough for at least another 15 hours. Got...

    Meowing at strange hours of the night!

    My crazy cat, Norman, meows at the same time every morning. He meows right outside my bedroom door. He use to scratch the carpet and meow... now the scratching has stopped, but the meowing continues. This routine starts at 4:30 am, and usually every 30 minutes there after until 6am when I wake...
