One of my cats has long hair and is constantly leaving hairballs for me to find. She already gets an Omega-3 oil supplement on her food for allergies, and I use a non-petroleum hairball treatment 2 or 3 times a week (which she absolutely hates). I am looking at trying a new food anyhow, so I...

Next week my husband and I are moving from Arizona to Oregon by car. It's 23 hours on the road and we are going to make it straight through as we have friends helping us and are taking turns driving/napping. I'm concerned about moving our 2 cats- Anyone with experience? I have an appt Monday to...

Glad to say that the kitties are doing much better. They have their issues but are adjusting well to sharing living space. In fact, they are cuddling together in the sun right now. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the info It definitely puts my mind at ease, I think I was just being paranoid mommy. They did manage to both sleep on the bed last night with minimal disagreements which is nice. I didn't know that kittens couldn't retract their claws, but it makes a lot of sense thinking about all...

Catsby discovered peanut M&M's after one fell of the coffee table- had to snatch it quick. She also likes to lick my roommates sandals for whatever reason.....

I just have a few questions regarding introducing a new cat. My two seem to be having some issues and I don't know if I'm being paranoid and it's fine or if there are problems. Catsby, who is 8 months old, has been living with us since she was 8 weeks old. She was adopted from the county animal...

Yeah, we vacuumed before we moved our furniture in, and since. Catsby moved way beyond just sneezing today, and was breathing with her mouth open, her nose and mouth were twitching, and her inner lids were noticeably puffy. I live in a small town with 1 vet that's run by a family and due to some...

Thanks, I'll give the Lysine a try. She'll be excited to get canned food for a bit as well. Any recommendations on the dose/how long to use it?

We just moved into a new apartment on Friday, and Catsby (6 mos) took to it quite well. Yesterday evening I noticed her sneezing a bit, nothing unusual ( she had a bad respiratory infection when we adopted her at 10 weeks and got that treated, but she's been a bit wheezy since) but this morning...

It's been almost a month now, and Catsby is doing wonderfully! She exclusively uses her litter boxes (one in the bedroom and one in the master bath), and we were even able to go back to her regular litter vs. the spendy Kitten Attract we were trying to lure her back to the boxes. She will even...

So we've tried replacing her box, and confining her to the bathroom where we keep it. For 2 days she has been using the litter box to potty! Cross your fingers that she keeps up the good work. Thanks for the suggestions and help, I'll try and put up a picture of her soon.

Some other things we've tried: We tried putting the litter box by the door to get her to use it there, she went around the side of it to potty. Tried putting her in the master bathroom (where the box is) and shutting the door, she urinated in front of the box. Took the lid of the litter box...

My husband and I adopted a 10 week old kitten last week. She was vaccinated and spayed, and we brought her home. After carrying her to the litter box a few times, she started going to it on her own, which we were excited about. For 3 days she had no problems at all. However, one day she was...
