    Using dog frontline flea medication for my cat?

    Hi, I have Frontline Plus Dog 22-0.023 fl oz (which I believe is for use on small dogs less than 22 lbs). I wanted to use this on my cat but didn't know if it was ok to use the whole amount on her?? My cat weighs about 9 lbs. Also, I've never had to give her flea medication before in the past...

    So my cat has had this rash on her abdomen about 8 weeks now. It's in the the part of her abdomen that doesn't have much hair on it. The rash is red, scaly, blotchy, without any discharge.

    Sudden change in pooping behavior

    So the background is that both my roomate and I each have a cat. The cats have lived together for a long time and get along etc. My roomate's cat has his litterbox in my roomate's bathroom and Snow, my cat, has her litterbox in my bathroom. Up until the past two weeks, each cat would use their...

    Shaving my cat

    So about a month ago I had written a post about how I couldn't take the crazy shedding from my cat Snow. Her thin wispy white fur was flying around the house and getting everywhere and I literally had to clean/vacumn every other day to keep fur from not being everywhere. Last week I couldn't...

    AHH! I can't take this shedding anymore!

    I've had Snow for at least a year and a half now and although I could never get rid of her I sometimes (more often lately) regret my decision to get a long-haired WHITE cat. She has a lot of fur and it's so fine that it blows around like dust throughout the house. My friends laugh because they...

    Sunburn

    I'm concerned about Snow getting sunburned. She never has before gotten sunburned, but I was wondering if this is a ligitamate worry for a completely indoor cat. She is completely white, and I've read that white cats can easily get sunburned. But does this refer only to outdoor cats? However...

    Is it okay to get her spayed with a runny nose/sneezing?

    Snow, my approximately 9-10 month old female kitty has not been spayed yet. It was put off in the past because she had chronic diaherra from from the time I got her last December until about early March. She has FINALLY got over that, and hopefully it won't come back because the vets were never...

    Sleeping too close to your cats & diseases?

    Hi! So this is a kind of a weird question, but my kitty Snow sleeps on my pillow or REALLY close to my face at night (as I mentioned in another post). But what I'm wondering is, is that hazarous to my health? or her health? She's a fairly healthy indoor cat, and I groom her and she does a good...

    How to teach kitty to not sleep on my pillow

    Snow likes to sleep on my pillow, right next to my face, at night. When I first got her (a several months ago) I didn't mind so much, but now I really want her to stop! I am constantly fighting for pillow space at night, but what's more is that I don't want her feet/rear end so close to my...

    Question about fleas

    Chicken Feed As Litter

    I thought I would just start a new thread with this. To those that use or have used chicken feed as cat litter I have a couple of questions: 1. What type/kind of chicken feed is best to use (specific brands/companies etc..) 2. I read somewhere that it will form weevils if not stored properly...

    Feline Pine Users

    Earlier this week I bought feline pine (non-clumping) and luckily my two kittens used it without any problems even though I didn't really follow the directions on the bag (although at first they smelled it and were looking at me like 'you want us to go here' hahaa). I must say I am so amused by...

    Best Cheapest Flushable Litter

    Still on the search for the best cat litter.. but I've realized although WBCL is the really good I really can't afford it. I haven't tried feline pine because of the tracking and dust issues I have heard associated with it, along w/ the foreign concept of it breaking down into dust seems really...

    WBCL vs. Feline Pine

    I'm thinking of switching my litter to one that is flushable and all-natural and these are the two that keep coming up with good reviews. I've read some things that say Feline Pine turns into dust when used?? Not sure how that works exactally... Additionally, I live in a small studio apartment...
