So, is it bad if a cat starts to drool, all of a sudden? My son & DIL's cat is around 3 years old and she just started drooling. They took her to the Vet and they drew blood - red count was off (either a little high or low - not sure which) but the Vet wasn't too concerned about it. So they've...

For my two cats, one who had crystals last week - I'm at my wit's end! I'm afraid they'll get sick. I tried a very small amount of the wet, tried topping it with their regular dry; won't touch it. I was given a bag of Urinary Health Dry - they must be eating a little bit of that (one or both? -...

We got our two 3-year-old tabbie boys from the SPCA 6 months ago. We think we know why they were turned back into the SPCA (they only take in cats that they oringally adopted out). Apparently, one has a problem with UTIs and srystals (unless this is a first time with cyrstals). So, Simba is at...

We have a pair of 2 1/2 year old tabbies (new to us). I've only seen one taking in any water and he's getting the water by putting his paw in the fountain and licking his paw! We have the nice Petmate Water Fountain - the water is constantly cycling through a filter and comes down a ramp. I...

We have had our 2 cats for only 6 days now. They're 2 1/2 year old brothers we got from the SPCA. One is adjusting nicely - the other isn't. They are kept in one "kittie-fied" bedroom and I visit them for hours every day. Simba, the friendly one will play, but Tigger, the quiet (dare I say...

So I have two cats that I've had now for 4 days. One is very shy and the other more out-going. How do I know if they're both eating? There is food gone, there is waste in the litter box, but how do I know if the shy one is eating anything? He hides under the bed or cowers in a hut when I come...

I adopted 2 two-and-a-half year old cats from the SPCA yesterday. I had to take one to Vet already today because of tapeworms. He also has an upper respiratory infection and ear mites. Since he and his brother have been inseparable, we're treating both of them for the ear mites and tapeworms...

We're going to adopt a pair of cats from the SPCA. One pair is close to 8 years old. The brother is a gray striped & weighs 18 lbs! The sister is a smaller orange tabby and she came right up to me and sat on my lap! The other pair are orange tabbies that look like my Garfield (who died a month...

We're seriously considering getting two cats soon. Having just recently had a cat who had the run of the house, we think we may want to confine the cats to a room at night. My 90 year-old mother lives with us and sometimes gets up during the night. I don't want her tripping over the cats in the...

We took him to the Vet this evening for the final time. He was 13 years old and had a brain tumor. We had an MRI done on him just over two weeks ago to see if the tumor was operable. The specialist didn't recommend surgery as the tumor was not only on his brain, but the skull and muscles of the...

I don't know if this is the proper forum, but - how do you know when to say that final good-bye? My 13 year-old tabby has a brain tumor that would be difficult to remove. He's on steroids and eating better than he was. He doesn't use the litter box, but we'll deal with that. How will I know...

My 13 year-old tabby is acting wierd. He had blood tests done on Monday and the Vet said his thyroid is off. (Can't remember which way it was off.) He wanders, steps in his water dish, is constipated. Gets all wobbly and stretches out a paw when he wants to jump off the computer chair. He acts...
