I have a Persian cat that does the same thing. She will scratch at the sliding glass door in my bedroom. I really think she does it to wake me up and get my attention. She only does it in the early morning around 5:00 or 6:00 am, when I'm still sleeping. I think it's her way of telling me to...

Whitman may be a Burmese or Havana Brown mix. I have a kitten that is a Burmese mix and she started out with fur about the same color as Whitman, with "ghost tabby" markings. She's gotten a lot darker now and the tabby markings are almost gone. Her eyes are slanted and her face and body looks...

Hi all. Thanks for your suggestions about giving Puff her pills. Anyone that can actually get a pill down a cat's throat is my hero. I still haven't been able to cram a pill down Puff's throat. I've been trying to cut it up into small pieces and hide it in her food. I'm not sure how much...

Thanks for everyone's concern and good wishes. I need suggestions on how to get my stubborn Puff to take her pills. I read a thread about giving cats pills on health forum on this website and I must say I've tried most of those suggestions. If I put the pill in her food, she won't eat the...

Science Diet seems to be one of the best. My cats have eaten various types of Science Diet including the kitten, the light formula for overweight cats and the hairball control. I can highly recommend the hairball control if you have a long-hair cat. My persian has had very few hairballs since...

Hi all. Thanks for your concern about Puff. We just got home from the vet. My vet isn't sure what is wrong with her, but thinks it may be a virus, possibly something the new kitten brought with her. Everything looked ok, except Puff has lost weight, about a pound and a half since mid June...

I haven't had any problems with Puff and the litter box recently. In the past, she has urinated in places other than the litter box. But, she hasn't done that in a couple of years. I had to move the location of her box, take the top off and change litter, but since I did all of that, she's...

Thanks for the encouraging words. I would feel horrible if I made Puff's life miserable by getting a new kitten. Sadly, Puff is still not doing very well. I now think it's beyond depression and jealousy over the new kitten. I think she may be sick. The past few days she has refused to...

Your kitten may have cocidia (not sure about the spelling). I have a new kitten and she also had bloody diahrea. I took her to the vet and they did some type of test on her feces and told me she had cocidia, which is apparently common to kittens. I think it's some type of intestinal parasite...

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum, so my question may have been answered previously. I have a 10 year old Persian female named Puff. In March, my 8 year old Maine Coon mix female named Simba was diagnosed with renal failure and in April, I had to put her to sleep. These two cats had been...
