One of our cats makes this "brrrm, brrrm" or "hrrm, hrrm" sound when he's really relaxed and walking around. I can't explain it...it's not a purring, it's an actual vocalization of some sort. He does it more after sniffing catnip (), and many times it is either before or after a wrestling match...
What we do with our cat is I sit next to him or put him between my legs. I grab his face with my thumb on one cheek and fingers on the other. You pull his head back and squeeze a little bit. All you need to do is open up his mouth enough on one side so you can get the syringe into the side of...
Are there any good places to buy meds online? We can get Clavamox for $12 + shipping at www.drsfostersmith.com, and our vet wants $27 a bottle. Also, is it tough getting a prescription from the vet?
Thanks!
I am feeding one of our cats some antibiotics by syringe. I know I am supposed to reward him afterwards, but he refuses to eat any treats afterwards, and he is absolutely crazy about treats. However, after giving him the medication he is either so ticked off or scared that he won't eat any...
We went on vacation for 2.5 weeks. We had a pet sitter who was SUPPOSED to come in every other day for the first 1.5 weeks and every day for the last week. I don't know if she did or not.
However, when we got home about a week ago we were greeted to some poop in our foyer. She left a note...
So part of my attempt to stop hairballs is to start feeding the kitties wet food. I feed them natural balance dry so I am going to add natural balance wet, indoor cat formula.
What I am wondering is, what is the best way to do this? I am guessing that in the morning I should put enough food in...
Well, I am trying...biting seems to be becoming less frequent. We'll see how it goes. The tough part is I am on my laptop and she is sitting on my lap, and she just sits there and does it while I am using the computer. I might have to actually put her on the floor...
So, our little kitty loves to lick our hands and nibble them like she is grooming them. This was all cute and tolerable until recently. Her bites have gotten a lot stronger to the point of being very, very painful pinches sometimes. I really want to get her to stop doing this...any suggestions?
Our little DHS coughs up hairballs every 2-3 days. It's quite a problem, since she usually coughs up her breakfast with it (thankfully it's dry food). Petromalt doesn't seem to be helping. Olive oil in her food doesn't seem to be helping. We have a water fountain that she drinks from quite...
We tried putting a harness on our cats today and they both were crawling around like they were walking under a table or something. I loosened it up on one of them, and she started walking more upright...but then it was very loose. How do I know if I have the harness adjusted right?
We have seen one of our cats cough up hairballs a few times (maybe twice a week). She is a DHS. We've been giving her a hairball remedy every other day or so, but now I just saw a HUGE hairball on the floor when I got up this morning. It was about the size of a macadamia nut.
Anyway, it's...
Well, we have clipped her nails a few times and she has the same reaction. If I hold her long enough she eventually just "gives up" and lets you do whatever you want. But then as soon as you let her go she runs off, only to return a few minutes later. Some nails don't bother her but some get a...
So one of our cats doesn't mind the slightest when you hold her paws and examine her nails. However, the instant the cat nail clipper touches her nail, she starts struggling and pulling back. Am I hurting her when i trim her nails? There is no bleeding and I am hardly trimming any off at all...I...
How can we tell if our cats are fighting or playing? I have a feeling they are playing since neither one is hissing or making noise...it usually starts by the younger one jumping onto the older one and it goes downhill from there. But it gets pretty rough...all out boxing / wrestling matches...
