    Help with Cat

    Hello everyone, I really need help with my cat. I've been putting up with his bathroom problems for years, and its taken a turn for the worse, and I am extremely upset. Also he does not have urinary track infection. He sees the vet (two different ones) at least 3-4 times a year because he...

    traveling by plane with sturdibag

    As long as your bag is collapsible and does not look overly large, it will be fine. I have one of the Sherpa bags, and they've never given me any hassle. But to be honest, I think its a little large because I always sort of have to wedge it in under the seat to get it to fit. I've flown with...

    Advice on Cats Flying Cargo/Checked Baggage

    oh HAHA forgot to mention that I'll be driving with my cousin and we'll be switching off. No way would I try to dive 24 hours straight by myself ^__^. And the cost of driving versus flying for two cats is roughly 50% less if I can make the drive from LA to austin in 24 hous. If not then its...

    Advice on Cats Flying Cargo/Checked Baggage

    I just wanted to thank everyone for their time and advice. I've decided that I will be driving the cats cross country this time, and cutting back my return trips to only twice a year. On that note, any advice for traveling 24hours ish straight on a car with two cats?

    Advice on Cats Flying Cargo/Checked Baggage

    The airline that I was considering was American Airlines. I called their service number directly and from what I remember the only restrictions was weight and species. Also why is it a bad idea for two adult cats to fly together but not two kittens just curious?

    Advice on Cats Flying Cargo/Checked Baggage

    Hello everyone, I'm currently a college student, and last year I flew my two cats to college with me and back home for a total of 6 times, and the cost of doing so was staggering. It was roughly 225 per cat one way (includes vet bills). As you can see, I spent a ridiculous amount of money...

    Genetic health testing

    Hi guys sorry to interrupt the flow of the conversation, but how do you guys find a board certified feline cardiologist? I'm just wondering is there a website that has a directory and list of all of them? For reference, I live in Los Angeles, if that helps narrow it down. Thank you

    X-ray vs Ultrasound

    the level of creatine in his system is 2.6 mg/dl whereas the blood test says that normal range is .8-2.4 Okay so xray should be the first best. Can it also check for the kidneys at the same time?

    X-ray vs Ultrasound

    Hi guys, My cat Mozart has been throwing up once a day for about 2ish weeks now. I took him to the vet on Friday, and had a physical, urine analysis, and blood test done. Physical came out fine, urine analysis was clean. Problem was that his creatine levels were a lil high. So the vet in...

    Leash-training update

    I personally use a combination to prevent slipouts. I use the roman harness that a lot of people recommend as well as a step in harness. I find the dual combination prevents my cats from escaping even when pulling back since the two are different styles. Still trying to get my bengal to walk...

    What type of Harness for Hennessy?

    try the walking jacket. I heard that one is the hardest to slip out of. My girl cat and another male cat I knew slipped out of a roman harness with ease. Usually what I do is put two different harness styles on my bengal when I walk him. A H style on and a roman style harness. The two...

    Deep Cat Bite

    anyways back from the doctor. They basically sat me in a room and had me soak my finger in a 5% bleach solution for an hour. And then had a doctor come take a look. Said it didn't look infected and prescribed me some antibiotics in case. So looks like luck was on my side this time. Now to pop a...

    Deep Cat Bite

    lmao i went for the vinegar because my apartment doesn't have any alcohol in it aside from my roommates beer. And i highly doubt it counts. Vinegar was the best I had on hand.
