We had to say goodbye to our 13-year-old yellow cat, Little Kitty, this morning. He started getting lethargic about 10 days ago, and we thought it was a URI, but the x-rays at the ER showed with about 90% certainty that it was a tumor. He was struggling to breathe, and they weren't sure if it...

My sweet little 8-yr-old kitty girl was vomiting a lot over a 2-day period last week, so I took her to my wonderful vet. Well, about 7 days later, she now has what appears to be a cold, which she must have caught at the vet's. She never goes outside and neither does our other cat. And now...

Hi everyone. I did search for this info and ran across some threads about Metacam and Trixsyn. My poor Little Kitty (that's his name) is about 12 yrs old and is dragging one of his legs. The vet said he has arthritis in his lower back and prescribed Metacam, which I have been giving him every...

My darling widowed aunt lives in Long Beach, California. My mom and I just visited her last week and she has decided she will move to Alabama to be near us as her health is poor and we're her only family state-side. Unfortunately, she has collected almost 20 stray cats over the last couple of...

I haven't been here in a while, but when I need help, I can count on this forum for the best advice about my cats. Now, thanks to my daughter, we have a stray puppy in the household. Does anyone know if there is a dog forum that is as trustworthy and helpful as this cat forum? Our two cats...

I had been posting for several months about a problem with my yellow tabby Little Kitty that had me in total despair. I mean, I was in tears and ready to give up on him and send him outdoors it was so bad. He was having UTI problems with chronic diarrhea and kept urinating on the floor. I tried...

After spending around $700 at the vet this year trying to figure out why Little Kitty has had diarrhea and chronic UTI, my vet said he has ruled out everything except IBS. I asked if it could be a food allergy, but he glossed over the suggestion and was quick to write a prescription for an...

I am an infrequent visitor here, but I admire how helpful everyone is. I'm unloading my despair here in the lounge and any advice is appreciated. I feel really bad that the thought of having one of my cats euthanized has run through my mind lately. I don't think I could go through with it, but...

I wish I had pics. Our 21-y-o daughter got a skateboard for Christmas. Her cat Little Kitty has always been the weirdo of the family, and he took a fancy to being pushed around the house on the board. It was a funny sight because his tail was stiff as an antenna throughout the ride. LK has...

I can't believe I've had cats for 25 years and never considered clipping their nails. The vet never encouraged it and it just didn't seem necessary. Now I'm wondering if clipping might help a couple of issues here. And if not clipping, then maybe the Soft-paws treatment I've read about here...

Sorry to be Debbie Downer... I'm an infrequent poster, and usually seek advice in the health and behavior sections. Today, I'm in despair because I can't see an end to the daily problem of cleaning urine off my floors. I've tried everything. The doc has tried everything, and he says Little...

I am so confused! I have 3 cats and have been feeding them Purina One dry, salmon & yogurt flavor, which they have liked for a long time. Occasionally, I'll add a can of Friskies or Iams to the mix for variety. But now I have a 7-y-o neutered fat male with a urinary tract problem. I also have...

Hope I'm not celebrating prematurely, but I thought I was going to have to banish my cat to the outdoors. After Little Kitty stopped peeing in the box for some unknown reason, I tried a couple of new litter brands, and Dr Elsey's did the trick! I was at wit's end because we had taken LK in...
