We're already extended on payday loans, and friends and family are as broke as we are. We don't have much else we can sell or pawn. I know he should go to a vet. I know it would be cheaper to do it sooner than later, but I'm not being dramatic when I say we have "no money". I know for some...

I hadn't known about some of those suggestions. Thanks! We've tried to work with ou rlocal vets before regarding "horse-trading" and payments, but they've all got their own bills to pay as well and simply won't deal with people. We don;t want free care, we just want to set up payments. When I...

I'm hoping he can keep peeing for just a little longer. Like I said, we have no money, and the new guy who took over the clinic doesn't do payments. (We don't have any credit, so we can't get CareCredit. :( ) The good news is I finally saw him defecate.

We have no money for a vet right now, so we're hoping to buy a couple of weeks until the money comes in. Here’s the problem. Scout hasn’t been urinating much and we haven’t seen him defecate for a couple of days. There has been no indication of pain, and the only indicator of discomfort that we...

That's what I'd like. Something where I can just open the window, or have some kind of pet door so they can go in and out as they please. When I was growing up we hade quite a few cats, and they were all outdoor cats. We didn't lose very many to cars, dogs, or what have you, but things just seem...

Thanks, you've really put me at ease. As far as tethering my cats, I won't let them run loose through the neighborhood, but I don't want to keep them from enjoying the outdoors When we finally get into a place we own (we rent right now), my husband wants to build a cat run out to a screened in...

We took in a stray about a month ago. He was about 6-8 mos. old, wounded and hungry. How could we say no? After the vet gave him a clean bill of health, patching up his wound and snipping his little boy-cat parts, we took him home, naming him "Scout". Scout is no stranger to Merlin and...

I mentioned the UTI to my husband and he decided that, no matter how icky it may seem, he'd watch Merlin each time he entered the litter box today while he was working at the table. According to him, it seems that Merlin is doing territorial marking, but thankfully only in the litter box. Since...

At what point did you realize it was time to see the vet? Or was it during a routine check-up?

I thought a UTI would make attempts at urination painful? Or am I thinking urinary crystals? (Or are they the same thing?) Like I said, he doesn't spend but a split second (unless he's actually going, when he prefers the box in the garage). It's like going to sit on the toilet, but standing...

Well, it's just him and Itty Bitty, a green-eyed Bombay. They're buddies, sharing the food dish and water dish, and they always sleep curled up around each other. He doesn't seem to have any territorial issues with her. He doesn't go anyplace else but the litter box. There's a second one out in...

Merlin is a 3 year old male tabby, fixed. He has this odd habit of walking into the litter box and sitting down like he's going to use it, but only for a split second then he's outta there. It's not like he's taking a few seconds to try to go, he just sits, then gets immediately up and trots on...
