We found a very small kitten at work yesterday and could not find any signs of other cats. It was very cold and unhappy. We scooped him up and warmed him and I took him home. I stopped by the vet and they said he looks healthy, doesn't have a temperature and looks to be about 3 weeks. We've...

We brought home a medium size dog this weekend from the SPCA. Dexter is a 8-12 month old Lab/Hound and is very friendly towards Emma, our 4-year old cat who has been the only pet for 2 years. Dexter has only been around her a few times that she's crept out but Emma has been in hiding since...

My online friend's pet died and I would like to send her an appropriate ecard expessing my sympathy. Although a regular sympathy card would work, a pet-related one would be nice. Thanks.

Does anyone notice changes in their cats when the temperatures change or it's super gloomy outside? In Virginia, we've had more rain than sunshine in the past two months (15 out of 21 days in June were rain). And on the days that we don't have rain, it turns super-hot. It's the most ridiculous...

We have a four year old cat named Emma. We rescued her from the SPCA two years ago. She is a wonderful cat....very active and loving. We would like to get another cat, and probably rescue another young adult female. What are the best steps in doing this? Emma has been around other cats and...

Emma's cat food is a hairball formula but with the temperatures rising, she's been shedding more and bathing more. I brush her frequently (she thinks she's being spoiled!) but about once a week lately, she barfs a huge hairball. I know this isn't fun for her. I know I can buy some stuff from...

Emma, who is three, just emerged from her litter box meowing and trailing poop around the house. She appeared to be in pain. The poop had bright red blood in it and she had blood on her butt as well. We cleaned her up, scooped up some of the poop and put it in a Ziploc bag. Being New Year's...

We just moved into a new house and since it's been open for some time, we are infested with spiders. Does anyone know of any treatments that are safe for having animals around? I plan on going to look but didn't know if anyone has come across a specific brand. If not, I plan to evacuate Emma...

Emma had an abrasion on her leg and I took her to the vet Saturday and it's some sort of allergies. Some long word with dermatitis on the end. He gave her a shot of steroids and it's already looking better. He said it it common in cats. Does anyone have any information? I'm curious to know...

The vet isn't open yet but I'd like to put something on a scrape that Emma got last week and I didn't notice until yesterday. She crawled through the ductwork in our new house by going in one of the uncovered vents and I assume she got cut there but we didn't notice it until Sunday. It's on the...

I know I've posted before about her barfing. We went on Science Diet Sensitive Stomach and have been great for weeks now. The vet was never concerned because she was dewormed at the SPCA just months ago...and she's a food gobbler. I come home to find 3 vomit piles, one with a long white worm in...

Seems to me it would be richer (cause it smells so strong).

Well, we're still puking! Thought I would try a smaller size food to make her work harder well it's easier...she just swallows it whole and it comes right back up. I have no idea why she insists on doing this. She's been in my hands for over 6 months now (a 2-year old female). I'm on my 4th...

Emma and her digestive problems.... Well, no puking for 24 hours. Good sign. Do other people's kitties get raw butt right after they poo? Emma occasionally has a red butt with a little blood (not enough to drip or even notice unless you look). It goes away soon after but does look sore...

We've been on our 4th trial of cat food with about a month's success until yesterday. Emma puked three times. The food is dark brown. Her vomit is the same color as it was with the old food (a yellowy tan that Purina One has..still a tad mixed in with the new food but not enough to amount to...

Anyone use this food. I've only seen it at Wal-Mart so I don't know if it's "their" brand. I switched (again) because Emma was puking (again) but it was simply half digested food. Anyone use this cat food? Thoughts? Thanks.

Emma has ear mites again. Well, I guess they never really went away but got better. I've tried Mitaclear....too thick to get into her ear good. It's quite a battle. Her claws win. Got some shot that treats all parasites about 2 months ago. Friend gave me a dose of Advantage and receptionist...

Looking for a good clumping litter that isn't dusty.

My neighbor had all the front teeth from one of her cats removed. He was a biter. He literally just looked at you and then would chomp your face, she said!! So, she had his teeth removed and his whole personality changed! He doesn't try to bite anymore and isn't aggressive anymore. He's very...

8 week old kitten. When should my friend take it to the vet? She thinks it's too soon and they won't do anything. What will be done at this age and is it important?
