    Aggresive Cat

    Max has always been an slightly aggresive cat. He's always trying to bite me (or anyone), it starts off like a playful bite but soon it'll become a serious bite. If I play with him he'll bite (but he never uses his claws), he'll only let me give him a few pats before he bites in this sort of...

    Right after my 15 year old eats his stomach starts to make very loud noises. This has never happened before. He was diagnosed as diabetic but my new vet is considering that my cat may not be diabetic because he hasn't responded well to treatment with insulin. [His blood glucose went all over...

    does frontline sting? and flea questions

    I'm a little embarrased to even ask this question because it must be so ignorant.. Frontline has such a strong chemical smell. All my cats literally run as fast as they can as soon as I start spraying them with it. I don't know if its only the smell or if a flea bite would make the product...
