Sorry for the very late response. I totally forgot to update on this. I took Schmitty in for an exam and the doctor said everything was fine. He then did a blood test for Schmitty. However, things are a little tricky with the result of the blood test because everything was normal except that his...

A big thanks to you all. I have scheduled a vet visit for tomorrow afternoon. Will update once I get back!

My cat Schmitty has been drooling periodically. When he drools, he drools in large amounts. I am not exaggerating but his drool and his breath smell as bad as cat poo (in fact it smells very much like cat poo). After he drooled, my whole living room smelled really bad and the smell was so...

Thank you for the replies. The cat is 1-2 years old (don't know the exact age because he was a stray) and has no known diseases. He was last checked by a vet a week ago and he has no worms. I think the 4 meals plan is a good idea. I will try that. If that doesn't work, I will just leave him as...

I have been feeding the new cat Science diet. At first I started with the suggested feeding amount (1/2 cup for 8 pounds for the whole day). I feed both of my cats once at 10am, and the other half at 7pm. However, the new cat is ALWAYS hungry and so I started feeding him 3/4 cup per day but the...

Oh -- And I also want to ask if I was overreacting when I shouted at the new cat for trying to bite the resident cat. I am afraid he would feel unhappy and associate my shouting at him to my resident cat. I don't want him to dislike the resident cat even more.

Hi guys. I know I have been asking a lot of questions lately My resident cat is a really friendly cat and my new cat seems really easy-going too. Only after 2 days of separation, the new cat has started tolerating the resident cat and would let him sniff him at times. However, the resident cat...

Thanks guys! It's an abscess and it ruptured this morning when I woke up (yuck!). I sent him to the vet this afternoon. They cleaned the wound and shaved the fur on that part and gave him some antibiotics.

Hi guys, my friend rescued a stray cat a week ago which is surprisingly mellow and she gave it to me because she studies in CA and her family won't keep it. The first day I got it I noticed that one side of his cheek is slightly swollen, and then it got bigger and bigger!!! I am really worried...

Hi, thanks for everyone responses. I think it is a good idea to try her for a couple of days next month. I am going to Hong Kong in mid August so I have a lot of time. And I checked on that PSI Pet sitter site and she's registered. *feels better*

Thank you so much guys... so I must find a shipper? I can't take it with me on board??

Thanks for the helpful replies! They are so detailed!

I have to go on a 30-day trip to Hong Kong and my mom really doesn't want me to take my cat with me even though that can be a possibility. I am thinking of hiring a cat sitter who would come to my place and feed the cat and play with him for 30 minutes. However, how do I know if I can trust that...

Hi guys. I am an international student and after finishing my Ph.D I might have to go back to Hong Kong if I don't get a job offer here. While surfing on the pet section of craigslist, I saw so many owners saying that they can't keep their pets because they are moving out of country. This may...

Hi guys. I am getting a new cat to be my 3-year old cat's companion. My cat used to live in a multi-cat family and his previous owner said that this cat gets along with other cats exceptionally well. In fact, I live on the ground floor and my neighbor's black cat always comes to my apartment...

I woke up this morning and found that the whole feather in the feather toy he plays with has completely gone! I know he ate it because he did it before but only ate a very little bit. I put the toy on the counter and for the past 8 months he never jumped up to the counter so I thought it was...
