Captain is my 14ish year old DLH. He was diagnosed with diabetes a little over a year ago and has been doing great. His last fructosamine showed that his blood sugars were in the range of a non diabetic cat, he gained back all the weight he lost prediagnosis. But something strange has happened 3...

Ok, somewhat long story. I have 9 cats. Bert, my orange tabby, has always had a spraying problem. He was on prozac for several years and it worked wonders, until a few years ago when it stopped working. So he got confined to the spare bedroom. Then, Kahlua and Sushi, who were used to using the...

I just had one of my cats diagnosed with struvite crystals, but no infection. Can someone give me a quick rundown of the %'s I should be looking for in both wet and dry foods so that I can look for something that is not the RX food once his crystals are dissolved. I got all the info here several...

Kahlua is my oldest cat, at 9. Ialso have her brother, same age, along with 8 other cats. Kahlua has not always been super happy about living with so many cats, but she coexisted. About a year ago, she started getting very antisocial. Also about that time one of her eyes started weeping, and she...

Please let me know your experiences with it and what you found to be the best ones, that take away all the odor, so my cat will stop doing this. Yes, he's been to the vet, he's had stones before, they were removed, and he's been on Prozac for 3 years for inappropriate urination, and it's just...

SO i picked up two kittens at our last adoption event that didn't get adopted, Reese and Burton. Then yesterday, my boyfriend spy's a little kitten eating out of the dumpster at K-Mart. SO he takes food and a carrier up there, and after I got off work we both went up. Well, lo and behold, her...

I have 10 cats, 9 live in the whole house, 1 lives inmy bedroom. I work 10+ hours a day, and I have found that because my cats go so long between feedings, they tend to get destructive, and when I get home I have 9 cats bombarding me for food. So I have been looking into the automatic feeders...

I feed my cats TOTW and the 4Health brand from Tractor Suplly. But I don't work in the town where the TS is until Sunday, so I bought Oscar, my bedroom only cat, a bag of Purina to last him until then, since he doesn't have any real food sensitivities. For the last 2 nights, the 1/2 cup scoop of...

Ok I've posted here before about one of my cats non stop scratching. It's been going on for about 2 years, and I've never had a cat this destructive. He has dug holes in the carpet through the pad, destroyed doors and wood trim, etc. I've tried everything-Feliway, no scratch sprays, tin foil...

My friend has a diabetic cat. Romeo was diagnosed about 5 years ago and is doing terrific. He eats Evo dry food and only all meat treats, along with his insulin shot every morning. Well, I informed her of Natura being bought out by Proctor and Gamble and she's now worried about them changing the...

I noticed that my 8 year old DLH has some hair loss and thinning hair. She has a baldish spot on her neck, thinning hair near her tail and on her neck, and an almost bald spot in the corner of her eye. I'll call tomorrow to make and appointment, but my next day off isn't until Thursday so I...

I really am at the end of my rope. I have been brought to the point of tears and I don't what to do. i have 10 cats. 8 have their claws, 2 do not (declawed before I actually knew what went into it, haven't done it since in 7 years). One of my cats will not stop scratching. He only scratches the...

I don't really have a point to this thread, just thinking out loud. I have a cat who lives in my bedroom. He does not, for whatever reason, get along with my other cats. He's been vet checked, medicated, etc, he just can't get along any more. He does get along fine with the dogs, so he lives in...

Ok, so I'm seriously considering getting pet insurance. I know my few that have prexisting conditions won't be covered, but the majority have no preexisting conditions. What company do you all have, why did you choose them, and what do you pay per pet? Do you get discounts for multiple pets?

So my 4 year old orange tabby, Bert, has a bladder stone larger than a pea. I noticed bloody urine and he was the closest cat, so I took him in. He peed while at the vet, and it was bright red. Vet said his ph is good, not sure what else. So what is a bladder stone? Is it crystals? What kind...

I'm always looking for ways to save money, and with 12 cats I have to. So I discovered Paws and Claws cat litter at Tractor Supply last night. It's clumping, and only $5.99 for a 25 lb bag! I bought 2 bags, went home, dumped and scrubbed 2 of my litter boxes and put it in. The first thing I...

I have a 6 ish month old foster kitten. She was spayed about 3 weeks ago. She has been dewormed several times. She has constant runny poop. Not just runny, liquid. The soonest I can get her into the vet is Christmas Eve. She is not lethargic, she's eating, drinking, and playing just fine. Any...

All of my cats are on TOTW...I've noticed since they've been totally on it and not mixed in with something else, there's been lots of soft poop in the litter box. I've taken the poop in, gotten it checked for parasites, all were negative but all were dewormed anyway, since i do take in fosters...

I have 10 cats. In 7 years of cat ownership only 2 of them have ever managed to escape out the door, and neither were out for more than an hour. So my cats are totally indoor. Which vaccines are necessary, if any? What about rabies? I know you're legally supposed to get it, but does everyone...

I have 9 adult cats and 3 foster kittens at the moment. I have always fed Chicken Soup Adult, but recently have switched over to TOTW. I do not feed wet because I simply can't afford it. I know that's optimal, and I have priced it, and it just simply does not fit in the budget no matter which...
