Now that spring is here, spiders have decided it's time to come and visit. Thankfully the cats find them. They want to play with them and eat them. The thing is, are they harmful to the cats? Can they bite the cats? More importantly, can a spider bite kill a cat? (I killed a brown recluse...

I'm currently feeding my two babies EVO canned. I buy one batch and they love it. I go back to get more, but as soon as it's a different batch number neither one of them will go near it. I called the company and they said that from batch to batch there will be variations. But this is...

I'm not even quite sure what it means to have their anal glands expressed, but I have heard it sometimes needs to get done. So how do you know if it's needed or not? Is it based on age?

Over the years, we've always gone with an artificial tree. However, after 14 years of faithful service, we had to lay our old one to rest last year. I started looking for a new one and was shocked at the prices. Due to our budget, my dear husband suggested getting a real one, but is a real...

Dear All, I often see this EVO mentioned, but I can't seem to find it at Petsmart or Petco. Is this and Avoderm product? Thanks!

If yes, how are your cats doing on this ? Thanks again for your time and help!

I'm talking about my local vet clinic. I chose them, because they are 10 mins. from my home. Overall, I did like the care that I got for my cat Rascal. I have some issues concerning the Wellness Plan they offer, but I can talk about that later. My main issue is that while I was in the exam...

Dear All, Rascal has been having diarrhea since yesterday, poor thing. I've had to clean him 4 times yesterday and again once this morning. His poor lil bum is also swollen. (I have been *very* gentle and careful when cleaning him, using wet Ultra Soft Kleenex). I can't imagine what is...

My cat Samson has been on Hills a/d since Sept. Took him to the vet for his follow up and the vet found his liver enzymes were high. She said that the a/d was probably not the best for him because it's high in protein and that causes the liver to work harder. However, she didn't recommend any...

Hi Everyone! Well I wanted to let you all know that Samson is doing *so* much better As you know, he was hospitalized on 9-4-08 and sent home on 9-6-08. I have been back to the clinic numerous times, but each time I went, it happened that the vet in question was not there and the other two...

On Sat. the vet said Samson could come home, that he had *really* picked up, that he alert and playful, rolling around on his back and more importantly, that he was eating on his own. My husband and I were both thrilled and happy. Well about an hour or so later, after Samson had settled back...

Dear All, Samson is at the vets. The vet said he was going to give him a shot to rehydrate him, he has been put on an IV and will have to stay at the vets at least for the weekend. He is very sick and he could die I am so scared I am going to lose him. It turns out he has hepatitis feline...

Hi everyone! I'm sorry is this post is a bit long, but I'm trying to be as comprehensive as possible to give you a clear picture of the situation). Let me start by saying that I have taken Samson to the vet twice so far and they are completely baffled. Aside from a slight bladder infection...

When feeding raw or canned, is it ok to give it to them cold from the fridge? I have been warming up their canned in the morning, 5 to 10 secs, in the micro wave. I thought this alright, but I'm planning to switch them to raw and on the Feline Pride site the author was saying not to microwave...

Well my babies are eating Natural Balance Green Pea and Duck flavor, Yay!!! Although I did notice this morning that Rascal's poops were a bit on the green side and softer yesterday was the first day since monday that I didn't mix in any Royal Canin to the dry food so that could be it...

Hi, anyone here feed their cats these brands of dry food? Natural Balance Organix Solid Gold Castor & Pallux Natural Ultramix Which brand of wet food do you feed them? Are baby meats bad for them since they contain corn starch?

Hi Y'All When my babies were kittens, I used to give them baby food (beef or chicken), and sometimes other types of canned foods in addition to dry food (at that time I was feeding them Science Diet for kittens) tuna juice, and an occasional eye yolk, all of which they loved! But, my old...

I recently picked up, at PetSmart, this grooming aid: Veterinarian's Best (Natural Care) Moisture Mist Conditioner - Detangles Hair & Relives Dry Skin. Leave-On Formula for Dogs & Cats. I *really* like this product. You can spray it directly on the cat, avoiding the eyes of course. I just...

Hi Everyone Last month I used Advantage on my kitties. The only thing I did not like was that for the first week there was this very strong chemical smell. It was so strong that every time I went near the cats I was repelled by it! I couldn't help but wonder how it must have affected my...

Hi Y'All! I've been doing a lot of reading on how all fleas in one's house have to be destroyed through repeated treatments, whether by spraying, bombing, powders, etc. But, how can one's house/apartment stay flea free permanently? We ourselves can unwittingly bring them back in when...
