My Exotic Shorthair needs to have his teeth brushed on a daily basis but he absolutely hates it! I can understand why but he squirms so much that I don't feel like I'm doing a great job and I don't do it enough because of it. Does anyone have any tips for this? Right now I'm using one of...

Has anyone used Prowl to treat a cat with food allegies? Currently I'm feeding my cat Hills Z/D and while she is no longer getting huge infected boils in her mouth she is still licking the back of her legs and it gives her an upset stomach (vomits frequently) so I'm looking into something with...

here were no cats to my knowledge but there were 2 large dogs here previously...we shampooed the rugs in all the rooms but I'm guessing she is picking up the scent that is left everywhere else and misdirecting her anger. Thanks for the tips.

Hi, I've just introduced my two cats to a new home and had a question; my cats have been together for about a year a half and while they have never been great friends they have accepted one another and get along reasonably well. After moving to the new house we put them in a closed off bedroom...

Wow, I was not able to follow up on this thread this weekend so I'm surprised just how many replies I got! I want to thank everyone for the information! My cat eats Hills Z/D hypoallergenic prescription food...my tortie has really bad allergies so both cats get the same food since they tend to...

Thank you so much for the link, this was exactly the type of thing I was looking for! As far as his appetite and behavior goes, absolutely nothing has changed...he has just as much energy as he ever has and the amount he drinks and eats hasn't changed either. I think I'll speak to my vet...

Hi Everyone, I have a 1.5 year old cat (he is a purebred Exotic Shorthair) and he recently had some routine blood work done and it turned out he has slightly higher then normal ALT, which is a liver enzyme. It isn't off the charts or anything, but it is about 10 points higher then "normal"...

Hi everyone, We have had a couple of fecal tests done for the cat and it all came back fine. We got him from a breeder and were told that their vet had tested him for a few different things and nothing came up. We are waiting to hear back from our own vet. I don't plan on changing his food...

Hello, I just got a 6 month old kitten who has had somewhat loose stools so he is currently on IAMS hairball control since it is high in fiber. I was wondering if anyone knows of a kitten food that is relatively high in fiber? I would prefer to feed him a food that has the nutritional needs of...

I'm on the third floor of my apartment building. I used to let my cat out onto the balcony when I was there...until she fell off. Luckily I had her on a hardness at the time, so all she got was a big scare. She was just trying to get on the very edge of the balcony (as cats like to do) and...

Thanks for everyone's input. It seems like reactions are a bit mixed, but mostly it confirms that it's probably something worth waiting out. I didn't know that IAMS Hair Ball is higher in fiber, so that's good to know! Thanks again!

Hello, I'm a long time reader of the site but have never posted. So this is a quick overview of my dilemma. My SO and I have been looking to get an Exotic Shorthair as we feel the breeds general disposition will work well with our adopted tortie (she is very laid back for a tortie). So we...
