My foster momma has tapeworms and I was wondering if I can get her dewormed when she's still nursing her babies. (Her babies are only 11 days old!) My fosters are in a spare room and have no contact with my 2 cats, but is it possible for my cats to get infected by cross contamination?

Okay sorry if this is a stupid thread (or in the wrong forum) but I need some opinions from experienced kitten owners. I was fostering this kitten through my humane society. I took her there three weeks ago for her spay and she was adopted right after. I had her new family all lined up...

Well, I should say she won't stop scratching the furniture and carpet. I have a home lined up for her already and I feel obligated to tell them what to expect so I'd rather correct the problem now. She has a cardboard scratcher that she also uses, and I trimmed her nails. Her new family...

Do you have any links that detail which common houseplants are poisonous to cats?

She doesn't seem interested in solid food at all. I've tried giving her canned, solid moistened with goat's milk, solid moistened with water... nothing works. She just doesn't want it. She's still nursing and she continues to gain weight (she weighs 1.6 lbs - is that normal?) but I think she...

This might be a stupid question but when you look at a bag of Nutro Natural Choice dry food, it says the protein is 33% min. But a can of Nutro Natural Choice canned food says the protein is 9% min. So is feeding mostly dry better than feeding mostly canned because there is much more...

I'm fostering a mom and her 4 week old kitten (I've already lost 2 other kittens from this litter ) so I'm sorry if I'm asking dumb questions - I just want to make sure this is normal behavior. While I was in with the mom and her kitten yesterday, the kitten kept trying to nurse and the mom...

I am fostering a mother cat and three kittens who are now 15 days old. Momma Cat started sneezing and coughing and she's now VERY congested. I contacted the Humane Society I'm fostering her through and they gave me an oral antibiotic to administer daily. She's eating one to two cans of kitten...

In your opinion, which brand is the best? I also looked at Hills Science Diet and the #1 ingredient was by-product meal... so I ruled that out. I know a lot of people who swear by raw but I'm not ready to make that change. Any suggestions would be great!

Do any of you order flea prevention online? If so, what is the best site to use? My two cats are on Revolution and I can find it much cheaper online but I want to make sure I can trust the site I order from. Any suggestions?

If anything ever happened to my kitties I would be devastated. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid here. So that recalled dog food was contaminated by a bacteria in the corn. (Aflatoxin is a naturally occurring substance produced by fungi that grow on grains, including corn. Aflatoxin is...

Okay, here's my situation. I went to visit a friend last night and she's always claimed to be a 'huge animal lover'. So I thought her pets were in good care.... well, she has an elderly cat that is now deaf. This cat climbed up on the table, and my friend took the cat and just dropped her 4...

Hi there! I found this site while searching ear mite treatments, and now here I am! I have 2 kitties. Gracie is a 1.5 yr old female and Gary is a 1 yr old male. Gary was a stray that we took in and I couldn't be happier!!! Um... about me... I'm 25, from NE Ohio, a HUGE animal lover / animal...

Does anybody else have a cat that does this?? Gary is our little baby! He's just under a year old, we found him as a stray. I knew from the minute he came out of the bushes, he was the cat for me. He immediately jumped on my lap, licked my face, nose, arms... and he also gave me lots of...

I have 2 cats, a male and a female. The female is just under 10 lbs but she's chunky. My male is about 10 lbs and he's slender. My problem is this: they act like they're STARVING!! I feed them twice a day, about 1/4 cup each feeding, each cat. (Meaning both cats get about 1/2 cup a day). I...
