My cat is 12 now, but when she was 9, was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. For a year, I tried giving her the medication, but eventually took her to get the Radioactive Iodine Treatment. Her T3/T4 levels finally dropped several months after the procedure and she's good now and I no longer have to...

I'll be taking your advice. Thanks.

I figured it was the females way of showing she was ready to mate. So does that mean her hormones are still going and she could potentially mate with a male? I feel bad that she's been abstinent her whole life. lol

I've been away from her a year before, and she was pretty lonely and lost some weight (maybe a good thing?) Maybe she's better at home where there's a bit more action, then with me at school where I'm away a lot studying at the library and classes. Also, you know how when you scratch a...

Sorry I didn't mention that, she's indoors only, no other cats. This is an old post so I might as well give you guys closure. The cornea wasn't scratched. She got antibiotic cream that i had to put on her eye lid and she would basically rub it around trying to get it out. A very unique way of...

Yeah I'm careful to do that, and to not clip her ears

I'll try to be brief, I got my cat 10 years ago. She's 11 years old now, so I got her when she was one year old. We got it from a woman my mom knew who had to get rid of 1 of her 3 cats because she was moving. The thing with Dixie is, she didn't play well with other cats. Next fall, I'm going...

Great answer! Thanks for your sharing your knowledge. She absolutely loves having the furminator brushed against her cheek

Either with my fingers, or with a brush, she'll love to constantly get her cheeks brushed, scratched, rubbed, etc and rubs it against any object she can find. I was just wondering if there was anything particular about cats cheeks that causes that. Been wondering this for a long time. Sorry if...

Really? I always found that whenever I have a tall glass of water by me when I'm working at my computer, my kittah always jumps up and drinks out of my cup, and I figured it was cuz the water cold. Maybe she just find its curious after all.

I think the Drinkwell Platinum is almost perfect, except it still doesn't keep the water that much cooler than room temperature. If there were only some device you could pop on the bottom that would somehow cool the water, it would be perfect. I don't suppose someone knows of something that...

Actually, wound up getting Felidae Platinum for Senior and Overweight Cats. The store owner recommended it. I'll let you guys know how she likes it. Anyone have any experience with this food?

Her name is Dixie. She is a 12 year old black cat, so its unlikely that any injury was the cause. I'm pretty sure its bacterial or viral. Hopefully not too serious.

I think I'm going to try the Natural Balance low calorie cat food. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

There seems to be inflammation and there was junk on it that I cleaned off, but the inflammation still remains. She doesn't seem to be affected by it, and is behaving normally. I was hoping one of you knew what it was. Here are the pics: Was going to take her to the vet tomorrow...

So what would be the very best option. It doesn't need to be dry I suppose.

Ok, so would it be okay to give Orijen to a 12 year old cat? It seems they just have one formula.

Which is the very highest quality? I wish consumer reports did ratings on pet food. I've been reading about the Innova brand. http://www.innovapet.com/products/de...nel=ga&id=1416 Innova Senior Dry Food. Anyone use this? I'm thinking of giving it a shot.

Sure give me some suggestions. I appreciate all the advice I can get.

I give my cat Cosequin and it is great. The vet recommended it about a year ago after I told her about my cat's recent reluctance to jump up. She would get ready to jump to a table or something, and assume the jumping position, but hesitate. Ever since she has been on the cosequin supplement...
