    Care Credit Question

    I will say to anyone who wants to apply for this card. Read the fine print very carefully. That's all I will say because of legal issues. So don't ask me any questions- just be careful- be very careful.

    Kitten Care Questions

    At four weeks old, she is barely weaned. I would give her kitten formula in a bowl just dilute it a bit more with water. If you feed her wet food (and you really should) then she is getting moisture from that. You can also add water to the wet food. Pet fountains are good because small kittens...

    Lethargic cat and strange smell?

    Don't rule out that he has been injured. The oil on his fur could be from a bite wound, he licking the wound and spreading the yuck on his fur. You may not be able to find the wound- they aren't easy to find even if you know where to look. If he does have a wound he could get an abscess which...

    birth control for cats?

    The drug they use in Europe has to be readministered every six months in order to be effective. The only way to effectively stop cats from breeding is to spay and neuter early. There are studies now looking at other methods of birth control (for feral cats) but so far nothing is working.

    i hear an owl

    Actually, the saying is if you see an owl in the daylight, or you see a white owl fly by you at night, this is supposed to mean someone close is going to die. It is an old indian tale. Hearing owls means nothing

    Ran away/Lost

    Please take him in and get him checked out. So much can happen to cats once they get outside, and because he isn't himself, that can be a clue that something did happen to him.

    cat vomiting :(

    If he is an inside/outside kitty he could be vomiting green grass or weeds. Inside kitties with green vomit can indicate bile. I would call your vet and talk to him and see what he says about bringing him in earlier than two days.

    Our cats are driving us insane!

    Get a small bag of cat litter and put it in the bottom of the trash can. This will prevent the can from being tipped over because it weights down the bottom. If the trash has a lid (and it should) weight that down as well. Wipe it down at night with a lemon scented air freshener- just spray the...

    Odd Behavior After Returning from Vacation ~ Help

    For your peace of mind, I would get her to the vet. When cats are stressed they become ill. She could be ill now and trying to tell you so. Have the vet do a check of her blood and urine. The target organ for stress is the kidneys. She may not have handled the week separation as well as you...

    cat IN the VENT!!!!!

    If you know someone with a pet bird, ask if you can borrow the bird and the cage for a few days. Hang the cage up in the room where the kitten is hiding far enough away from the vent so he has to travel to the bird, put cat food below the cage, a litter box off to the side and another spot for...

    Need some feeding advice for 4 week old kittens

    Four weeks is way to young for them to stop bottle feeding. Don't push them to solid food so fast- they still have at least two weeks of bottle feedings. Once they start gnawing on the nipple, almost chewing it in half that is your signal they need to begin wet food.

    FKS - Please help!

    Toss out all items these kittens used, toys, litter pans, bedding etc. Take the cat carriers and wash them down several times in bleach and hot water. Let them air dry outside at least 24 hours. Distemper is nasty and hard to kill.

    Help! My cat is a serial killer

    Bell and a collar will not work. Birds don't know bells and collars are dangerous for cats that are outside. Eating wild prey leads to parasite problems and flea infestation. Best to keep the cat inside and distract it with interactive toys.

    somethings wrong with my kitten: PLEASE RESPOND

    Get him to a vet, sounds like he might have been poisoned by an over-the-counter flea treatment. A 7 week old kitten should not be introduced to flea shampoo, that is way to young. Take the kitten and the bottle you used to the vet immediately.

    Feline Hyperthesia Syndrome

    It generally has nothing to do with food. FHS has to do with the nerves and the nerve endings. It can be maintained with proper medication, but it is hard to test for and most vets know nothing about it. If you go to the health section of the website you will find an article about this...
