    Laying down in litter box

    Today I went in to find my poor jaundiced kitty lying in the litter box. Curled up there on purpose. Not much response when I talked to her and petted her. It's so awful. Is she saying, "Okay, I'm ready to be disposed of too?" I've seen her playfully roll around in the litter when it's...

    update on jaundice kitty

    I came home today thrilled because I'd picked up some kitty caviar. None of our petstores have it. But it turns out it's used for making asian soup stocks, so I found some at an Asian market for $1! Then I was feeding her... and noticed that she's losing hair around her mouth. Oh no! I...

    Need force feeding advice, please.

    How can I get all this lanky cat into a little ball o' towel? Methods, please? Should I be making sure she swallows by rubbing her throat? (It's so bony... it's so sad.... I'm afraid to touch it.) Or is just getting food in her mouth until she starts smacking/licking good enough? Does...

    Jaundice!

    Oh God... oh God. My cat's skin is definitely yellow. This is NOT GOOD. I don't know what to do... I don't know what to do!!! Should I call an emergency vet number? Should I wait until they open on Monday? For background, see the post below, "Food to keep down"....

    Food to keep down?

    Any suggestions for wet food for my nauseous cat? I've been trying everything, but she can't keep anything down. Beef baby food, canned tuna, Special Kitty, Fancy Feast, etc. We have taken her to the vet, who says nothing's wrong with her, she just can't handle rich foods. Help?

    voice change?

    Kitty, female, about 2-3 years old, has a high-pitched meow. Yesterday she started meowing lower, deeper. It sounds like an average meow now, not a high-pitched one. She goes back and forth from high to low sessions over the span of the day. What's happening? Should I be worried?

    Pilling cat, she foams?

    Right after pilling my cat she foams from her mouth a little, sometimes spitting up the pills. This is the same cat I mentioned earlier on my vomiting thread (where the vet said nothing's wrong with her). Is this normal? What does it mean? Help?

    Cat losing weight, vomiting...

    Took my 3? yr old in to the vet for vomiting issues and peeing outside the litter box. They weighed her and she'd lost 2 pounds since her last visit about 18 mos ago. Now she's about 6 lbs. Did lots of tests, and blood work, urinalisis, everything came back normal. Spent $500 for them to...

    Cat yak

    My 2yr old female cat is vomiting, lately, one or two times a day. She'll yak up this yellow foam stuff first, then some thick digested-looking brown gunk. Is it hairballs or vomit? (What do hairballs look like, anyway?) I already get anti-hairball dry food, so what else can I do? Also, I'm...

    Catnip is illegal now?!

    I heard this on the local news this morning, but can't find anything about it online other than this sarcastic article: http://www.progress.org/2006/fold483.htm If this is true, I am soooo mad. Edit: I am not joking, or trying to fool anyone. I am completely serious. It was on the radio...
