My 3yr old neutered male cat came back from the vet a week ago after being there 2 days on a cath for blockage. He's just now finally acting like himself. He still uses the litter box frequently,not a LOT at one time,but no blood...BUT I am having a horrible time getting him to eat the hill's...

We had to bring our 25lb farm dog indoors as he got caught in a snare,thankfully his front leg was in the snare too so he didn't get strangled,but he stood out in the cold weather ( below freezing and snow storms)for three days before the trapper found him and released him and he returned...

My two cats are getting a little heavier than they should. We finally settled on Chicken soup brand a while back because they loved the taste and it ended one of my cats' diarhhea. Its the dry. They are just turned 1 and 2 1/2. Is it best to cut back on the amount I am feeding them,which is...

I'm now feeding my cats a quality dry but would like to give them wet also twice a day. It is sooo expensive so I would like some tips on ways to get coupons or cheaper deals on cans. I can shop at petsmart,petco, farm supply stores. I haven't decided brands yet as I need to see what they like...

to sharky and whoever else can help me. I am transitioning my cats to taste of the wild,but.... I asked sharky about trying chicken soup brand.....i also mentioned nutro natural choice food. this is dry food that I"m talking about. She recommended trying taste or going back to nutro(they did...

One of my cats has had somewhat loose stools since i got her(January 08).She will be 1 yr Oct 2. Our other cat has normal stools (male,2yrs).I have had to very slowly transition whenever I've switched foods to prevent the "runs". She won't hardly eat any wet at all,so I've mainly dealt with dry...

What is an appropriate range of fiber % in dry cat foods??? I commonly see 3-4%,but in the hairball formula I have seen up to 8.5%. Is that too high a %? and if so, why? Thanks in advance....

Don't forget that February 26 is spay day and that most vets give a discount! I'm taking advantage of that day for my female kitten. She will be almost 5 months by then. Spread the word to others that may not know!

Strictly based on flavor and which one your cats liked best.... did they find the complete care or the Max their favorite??? Thanks. Also, is the canned/pouches tasty to most cats/kittens?

I just recently got a 12 week old siamese snowshoe female kitten. I already have a 1 1/2 old male cat(neutered,before you ask ) He doesn't claw up anything BUT now that there are two of them...they chase each other all over my leather couch and are leaving claw marks. When I am home, I either...

I have a new kitten that wants to eat my adult cats food and the adult cat wants to eat the kitten's food. Would it be better to feed them both kitten food OR would it be better to mix it half and half(half adult,half kitten)and feed it to them both? The other cat is a neutered male thats about...

I have two cats that are going to be 1 in a month or so(dumped at our place so I'm not exactly sure of their birthday)...and it seems like they are shedding a lot more now than in the past.. Is it because they are growing into their adult hair,so to speak and will shed more from here on out...

We live on a farm and have a couple outside dogs.Well,the youngest is at the chewing on everything stage and she got ahold of one of our baby kittens from a litter. We had a new,wild unspayed(obviously....can't catch her yet)female have a litter. My husband found the kitten laying in our...

Hopefully this is 'appropriate' for this site.If not,please remove. Anyway, I have a son that the teachers would just love for me to put on medication. He is finally reading at grade level and MOST of the time behaves well in class.Sometimes he will daydream or will occasionally do the class...

I use Tidy Cats scoopable litter and I scoop daily. How often do you actually have to dump the whole litter,wash out the pan and refill? I have two 4-5 month old kittens using it and a basement litter box.

When my kittens,Bagel and Smokie,went in for their spay/neuter the vet recorded their weight. The male is 4 lbs even and the female was about 3 1/2 lbs. Since they were dumped on my place,I don't have an accurate age for them even though I think they are about 4 1/2 months. Does this weight seem...

I recently got my male and female kittens fixed. The male had always been friendly but the female would hide alot,even though she would cuddle at times. Well,NOW she follows me around the house and as soon as I sit down she wants to lay with me...or anyone else. She's in my lap as we speak.she's...

Here I was all gung-ho to get my kittens fixed and now I'm a nervous wreck. I'm worried something could go wrong or they will tear out their stitches or SOMETHING. I've been cuddling them all night. At least they'll be together! Wish them luck!

I was reading the sticky thread about spaying and read the high amount of offspring a unspayed female cat can produce. Wow. How do they figure that anyway? by how many heat periods a cat would have in an average life span? I guess from what I've seen on our farm prior to me spaying and neutering...

How often should you clip your cats nails? Is twice a month enough? Do you guys generally do front and back or just the front claws. Is it fine to use human fingernail clippers....it worked well, just wondering if that is okay to use. I have the guilotene (sp?) type,but they are just so big for...
