    Introducing a new cat?

    Or yours could be like mine. Trapped a kitten back in September, got her shots done, did the vanilla, feliway, swapping rooms, etc. My other cat will chase the new kitten down and here we are going into Feb. and my existing cat will not accept the new one. So I have to play room swaps in...

    Drontal retreat allwormer?

    My vet has me retreat between 10 and 14 days. Normally only need to retreat 1x after 1st dose. Iris took 2 retreats to finally get them all since you have to catch the worms to kill them plus the eggs that hatch.

    Tape worm??

    I use fenbendazole to deworm my cat and my other dogs. Iris had tape when we got her. Took 3 doses spaced out of course to finally get rid of them all.

    Does Anyone Know About Natural Litters? Need Help Choosing...

    I've been using SWeatscoop for the past few months. Clumps up nicely, masks odors pretty well and easy to clean up. I had tried clay and reg. clumping litters which I didn't care for (Iris thought the smell was heavenly and wanted to eat it). Switched to the wheat and no problems. I scoop...

    kitty eye problem

    It could be something as simple as an eye infection from an upper respiratory infection or could be feline herpes. Either way a vet should see those eyes. As for wet food, my girl gets it everyday. I feed her merrick's with felidae dry to nibble on while I'm gone if she wants it.

    Best CANNED cat food

    I put Iris on Merrick's canned food. Bought granny's pot pie and thanksgiving turkey and she likes both of those. Will expand her horizons to other merrick canned food once she finishes these.

    Raw feeders - input on this food please!

    I feed raw to my dogs. Tripe is cow stomach, considered a protein. We consider the contents in the tripe protein as well as vegetable since grains, grasses, etc are in the stomach. Now as for percentages, this is my first cat and she isn't on raw like my dogs are so I'm not sure recommended...

    URI Vitamin Question

    I started Iris on pet-tabs for cats and lysine (walgreens, walmart, human kind). She has herpes and is felv+ so immune system boosts def. were required.

    Indoor cats + shots

    What about for cats that already have felv and probably herpes? I've read so many contradicting things. Rabies, no felv shot, get the rest but killed virus, then others don't vaccinate, then in addition to the killed virus, for herpes use the intranasal which is a mlv. So right now she only...

    found stray, sneezing

    Ok, found this cat/kitten (under a yr according to vet) about 2 wks ago. I brought her home since I noticed she was missing an eye and couldn't just let her sit there and not get treatment for it. Well last wk, she had surgery to clean out the socket and suture the eye closed. Vet tech gave a...
