    Question About Neutering

    I have a weird question, but thought I'd ask you guys before checking with the vet. Twinkie was neutered almost two months ago and everything has seemed to go pretty well. I was holding him today, and the thought crossed my mind to just check and see if everything looked okay. I was suprised...

    2 Q's - Feline Diabetes & Cat Allergies

    I have two quick questions. 1. What are the symptoms of feline diabetes? My youngest, Twinkie, is drinking ALOT of water and peeing frequently. He had minor surgery recently (neuter) and seems to be healing slowly, as well. I would assume that the vet checked him for this, because they did...

    Twinkie's Pulling Out Blu's Hair With His Teeth

    My boy, Twinkie, who is almost 6 months old, loves to wrestle with my female cat, Blu, who is 5 yrs old. Most of the time, it's just playful fighting, but sometimes he seems to really get into it and will even bite her back and pull out clumps of her hair with his teeth. We had her for several...

    Purina One?

    Blu has a sensitive stomach, and we have been using Eukanuba Sensitive Stomach for a while. We were looking at alternatives today at the pet store and found Purina One Sensitive Systems. We bought a bag of it because it's a little less expensive and the ingredients looked pretty good when...

    Question For Booda Clean Step Box Owners

    I have two babies, Blu and Twinkie. Blu is 5 yrs old and Twinkie is around 5 months. They share a large litter box with a front opening. I have noticed that Twinkie has been harrasing Blu while she is using the box. As soon as he hears her digging in the litter, he makes a run for it and climbs...

    Do Cats Have Anal Gland Discharge From Fear?

    Our cat, Blu, escaped thru an open window this evening. She was declawed in the front when we got her, so we NEVER let her outside. It was already dark, but we managed to track her down and "capture" her in a wooded area near our home. Needless to say, this was a rather tramatic experience for...

    Kitten Has A Very Dry Nose

    My kitten who is around 4 months old has a very dry nose. It almost appears to be cracking and gets scabs just inside the nostrils. I don't know what to do to treat this problem, but did put a tiny amount of Vaseline on it the other day, but it only helped temporarily. He seems to be in fine...

    Need Help Choosing Good Food

    I have a 4-5 year old female cat (Blu) and a 3 month old male kitten (Twinkie). I have had Blu for about a year and been to the vet countless times over her digestive problems. We finally settled on Eukanuba Weight Control Formula, because it seemed to cause her the fewest problems. We adopted...

    Neutering - How Early?

    I am wondering how early I need to get my kitten neutered? He is around 9 weeks old right now, and I think that normally the operation is done around 6 months, but the vet says the sooner the better. Any advice?

    I'm cursed...

    I have a 4-5 yr old cat named Blu who has been dragging her bottom on the carpet ever since I got her last September. We just got a new kitten a couple of weeks ago, and he is doing the same thing! We tried several different kinds of high quality cat food with Blu (some of which even made her...

    Should I Feel Guilty About Getting Another Cat?

    I am the proud parent of a 4.5 yr old cat named Blu. I adopted her from the animal shelter, and have been doting over her ever since. A friend of mine who has 3 cats just discovered a poor little kitten in their yard crying and hungry. They brought him in and fed him and bathed him and are now...

    HELP!! Blu is vomiting & I don't know why!

    Blu has vomited 3 times since the weekend, once Saturday night and twice today. I have seen her occasionally vomit in the past, but never this many times in a short period. Her vomit only looks partially digested with whole pieces of her dry cat food still plainly visible. I have not changed...

    Anal Gland Removal - Good Or Bad?

    Blu has been dragging her bottom for several months now (we just got her in September 05). We have been to the vet several times since she arrived, and she has been wormed, test for parasites, had her glands expressed at least 3 times, and been put on an antibiotic to make sure they weren't...

    Not Chewing Kibble - BAD?

    I started Blu on a new food with smaller kibble and I noticed that she is swallowing alot of it whole. I do hear her chewing every 2-3 mouthfuls, but I would say that over half of it is going down as-is. It seems to be digesting well, but is this bad for her intestines or teeth?

    Found A Claw On Declawed Cat

    Today I noticed that my cat has a claw on one of her front feet, even tho she is declawed. Blu was already declawed (front only)when I adopted her, and hasn't exhibited any problems or even a hint that she knows they are missing. She likes to sharpen her "claws" on the arm of my sofa. Anyway...

    HELP!!!! I am at my wit's end with what is happening with Blu. I posted several weeks ago about the problem that I was having with her dragging her bottom after using the litter box. The vet wormed her, drained her glands twice, checked for parasites twice, but she still kept dragging...
