OMG, that's so cute. I'm taking my cat this Sunday to get just the butt and stomach shaved at Petco. Hope she likes it.

safron: What is the shaving like? Does it look funny? Do they shave, bathe, and dry and trim the nails? Where do you go, like PetSmart or Petco or something? I've never taken my cat in for grooming, but I think it might be a good idea.

I'm having a problem with mine too, I posted in a separate post. I give Purina's Special Care for Hairballs and the laxitive hairball medicine. I don't know if it works. She is always coughing and retching and nothing comes up. Sometimes I find hairballs, but she's having a hard time. I...

I've posted in here before about my cat having this constant retching and coughing. She sometimes produces a hair ball, but mostly she's just retching a lot. It's a everyday thing. I took her to the vet and they gave me a hairball medicine, that she likes. So I give that to her twice a week...

Was she ever an outdoor kitty? We had a cat one time that howled all night and we realized she wanted to go outside. We ended up giving her away to someone living in the country. The city apartment was not her style I think. I think getting yours fixed and some of the other suggestions might...

I'd like to get another cat. However, I'm afraid. My cat, Tabby is nine years old. She's lived with other animals before, but never really became buddies with any of them. For the last 5 years it's just been her with me and my husband. She's pretty timid and I'm sure she'll be really pissed...

I need to get my cat's teeth cleaned too and the vet recommended that she be put under, but I'm scared of that. I've heard about cats not coming back. I know I can pay for blood tests to see if her kidneys and liver are working properly to be sure she comes out of the anesthesia. I guess she...

She likes going outside. I live in a condo so she's only on the porch. She's not in any danger.

Well I took her to the vet and they gave me hairball medicine. Hopefully it will work. I don't know how long it takes to work for her because she's still gagging. The vet didn't seem too concerned though. He was more concerned about me getting her teeth cleaned.

I let my cat out sometimes, but she doesn't wander very far. I usually try to keep an eye on her because she's declawed in the front. But when other cats come near her she hisses at them and they usually just back off from her. Try to keep an eye on him while he's having his outside playtime...

Thanks for all the responses. I'm not so concerned about the hairballs. I know that's natural. But what seems unnatural is when she coughs and coughs and there is nothing that she throws up. She's having a hard time getting the hairballs to come out.

When I say she goes outside, I mean I live in a condo and she goes out on an enclosed porch, not running through a yard of grass. I'm still not convinced it's a flea bite. Maybe it is, but for it to come and go her whole life and she hasn't always been allowed outdoors. Sometimes she gotten...

My cat gets scabs too, but I don't think it's fleas. I've never ever seen fleas on her. Sometimes she goes outside, but not often. I have no other cats. She's had this problem all her life. She's 9 years old, long hair. I've had several vets diagnose different things, from "Nervous...

My cat has been having constant attempts to dry cough or retching without getting out a hairball. She's almost 9 years and long hair. I used to give her hairball medicine, but she would throw up her own food so I thought it was making her sick. I have a visit scheduled with the vet, but I'm...
