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...

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...

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...

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...

So our cat is vomiting shortly after eating. According to what I have read online, it looks like it might be because she is overeating her dry food, and when it expands she has to expel it. It's happened like 3 times in the past 10 days or so. Any suggestions on what we should do?

So I just got a letter from the neighbor who's unit is below ours. Apparently our cats running around at night is causing a thumping in her ceiling and is disturbing her at night and in the morning. We don't know what to do!!! Would this problem have been any less if we had only one cat? I...

Is it safe to allow the cat out on the balcony? Or is it going to jump down? I have heard stories of cats falling out of 2nd and 3rd story windows. Are they really that curious that they will jump 15-20 feet off a balcony??

We adopted two cats on the 6th from a local rescue. One of them (the 2 year old) adjusted great...she sits with us and plays and is really the perfect cat. No litter box problems, she is well behaved except for scratching (trimmed nails seem to be protecting us until we get her on the scratching...

So one of the cats we adopted isn't working out and he is going to go back to the shelter. We are going to get a different cat to replace him though. My wife is really interested in one cat, but he is blind. I really do not want to deal with the extra care needs of a blind cat, because I know...

The vet wants to charge us $50 per cat for the initial exam. This seems kind of expensive to me...is it reasonable? If not, what is?

So I am going to put some tape on the counters to train our cats to stay off. I think I am going to apply the tape to some strips of cardboard and then either clamp or tape those strips down to the table & counter, so we can remove them if we need to work and put them back as soon as we are...

We just adopted two cats. One is a 2 year old female. She is supposed to be spayed already. However, she is a little chubby and she also has a slight bulge in the tummy area in front of the hind legs. Is there any possibility she is pregnant?

We just adopted 2 cats...a 2 year old female who seems to be a normal domestic short hair and a 4 year old male who seems to be part domestic short hair part bengal. So far they are doing great...except for the litter box...they don't seem to be burying their business properly. We got them from...
