    Yeah, I KNOW I need to ask my Vet ... (gross out warning)

    And we WILL be taking him in, in in a couple weeks! But, does this still sound like it could be herpes, to y'all, or something else? Uly has had a chronic sneezing problem since I got him in late July. He did 10 days of Clavamox and it improved but never went away. Next he did 10 days of...

    What's so unhealthy about Fancy Feast?

    Okay, I am not an ignoramus, and am not throwing this out to get flamed. My 13-year old recently-IBD cat was on Euk L/B for six years. He has never had food (beyond stolen table scraps) that was non-prescription, before now. Without reiterating the whole story, he recently ended up on...

    Ringworm

    ick ick ick. I know it is really fungal, not a worm. I know it is carried by one cat in five. Do I REALLY have to isolate my newbie boy for two weeks in a cage???? THREE kinds of medication????? Oh this is so DEPRESSING. Anyone coped with it, and how did you????

    Progress with little Laxmi!

    This morning for the first time, she was sitting in the kitchen, with a belly full, and I leaned down and PICKED HER UP! She was a bit surprised but let me hold her for a while (AND PURRED) before panic set in and I set her gently down. She is coming around, albeit slowly ... I can tell she...

    Ummm ... only found this thread NOW!

    Forgive me but my life is a tad chaotic. I'm Linda, new to the cat forum but generally fond of forums. I have already jumped in on a couple forums but neglected to introdce myself! I have 3 kids, one each from India, Guatemala, and China, and to preserve the momentum of adoption, we adopted 3...

    Evil Saboteur of the Litter Box!

    My Ulysses, he of the silky white coat which perhaps covers an Aby or Bengal soul, has the RUDEST habit. We have only covered boxes. He waits till another kitty is in mid-business ... gets up on top, and AMBUSHES 'em when they come out. Smirking, all the while. Anyone else got such a...

    grieving in an elderly cat

    We lost Roland, 15, my BEAUTIFUL, much-adored, tiny sable tonkinese, July 4. His mate, Walter, 2 years younger, a lovely sable Burmese x Siamese (+ white spot!), remains with us ... and is the subject of several health forum posts ... Walter had been terrifically healthy all his life, but...

    PTSD in feral-ish kitten?

    We got a 4 mo old kitten, Laxmi, from Siamese Rescue, 3 weeks ago. She is a beautiful seal tortie point, healthy as a horse (eats and poops like one!), and is terrific with our other 3 cats -- she modifies her behavior to suit each personality -- wildly playful and aggressive with the youngest...

    and another question -- IBD

    Anybody got any pet theories about causes of IBD in cats? My vet thinks it is carbs in dry food ... my last SEVEN cats have had IBD or other GI disease. Not all died from it, but all required medical management as well as dietary, before the end. All but the first had been on premium foods...

    Webbed toes?

    Hi, I am new to this forum and you will find I have tons of questions ... we got a LOVELY 15 mo. boy from Siamese Rescue, recently, and, well, our Vet Tech and we know he is "something," but not sure just what. Yes, I am the first person to know how many beautiful free-bred cats there are in...
