Sorry I did not do a search if there was a recent thread on this but I wanted some quick feedback. We had two dentals done recently. Now we have two sniffle cases in our hands. I wonder if this is something that commonly happens when cats are under anesthesia? (Did not happen with neuter ops)...

I am totally new to ringworm. I read several threads and got everything from “catastrophy†to “not a big deal†regarding dealing with it. My question is how big a deal is treated ringworm? Or taking on a cat who allegedly has had ringworm somewhat recently but does not seem to present...

This is not exactly a pregnant cat question but a behavior question but I thought maybe people with prego knowledge would be quickest to have the yes/no answer. I saw this cute little young mother at the rescue during weekend. Of course I fell head over heels for her but resisted bringing her...

Has anyone any experience using Maxi-Guard Oral Gel to “improve†beginning tooth resorption issues? The vet did a poor job explaining what would the benefits of using it be. Ossi just went to vet and couple of his teeth were deemed bad. The vetâ€8482s opinion was that they would need...

Ossi has decided to come totally out with his Pink Belly. Here it is for all to see! This is what he has done to his beautiful belly fur. You can see in the first picture how diligently he has worked on those razor sharp edges on his pink area! Ossi calls all his fellow Pink Bellies...

In a quest for a new more urinary healthy diet for our cats I went for a second opinion vet appointment yesterday. This in addition to reading TCS and various internet articles until my head was spinning. My head is still spinning. I really do not know which vet to listen to or whether to...

I don't know if Klaatu42s youtube channel has been posted before but I sure got some good giggles this week when I found it. If you have not looked, take a peek. Cats are def his faves. This started it up for me but I have to say it's better on second viewing...

One of my cat’s has experienced some sort of “miracle of the mouth”. Last night I begun brushing his teeth and noticed that nearly all tartar and gunk build up had gone from his teeth. We have had Teppo for 3 years, and he has always had very ‘dirty’ back teeth. I brush his teeth about every...

It has hit us, the first UTI. Now I have a question for you more experienced because I have no experience and the vet is kind of offering options what to do next. First this is what happened. Monday night Teppo went to take his evening pee, and just got stuck to the potty for ages. I was...

At what age do cats start losing incisors without it necessary being a cause for great concern? Or would it right away be a concern? I was just checking my boys mouths and realized two out of three have only 5/6 incisors on lower jaw. I have somehow failed to check this before and suspect this...

I found the first ever tick in our cats in the middle of the night. I was stroking Teppo and there it was in his hindquarters, yech! I woke up assistance (not so gently), and we somewhat successfully removed the engorged %&*%$#. I think it's a deer tick and I am of course freaked out. Teppo is...

I have been pondering whether I would be up for fostering cats for rescue. I am at the stage where I am questioning whether my motivations are pure, and I would first of course need to come clear on that and convince everyone in the household that this would be a worthwhile pursuit. However, I...

I need suggestions for toys for our new boy. He goes for the kill with the toy mice/furbies/balls that we have, and has managed to skin and gut several different types already. This far the ones that have faired best have been Fat Cat cotton toys but even those are full of puncture marks. I am...

So, it happened. I could not resist all those little faces on the rescue lists any more, and we got ourselves 4th cat on two weeks ago. He is about 2 y old, white & black DSH (shelter mugshot on my cat list) affectionate boy who I suspect has little oriental blood in him too. He was named named...

Our boys got a little brother last weekend – and to smooth things over we got them a cat tree. I finally found one that I was happy with and since I have never bumped into this companyâ€8482s name here I thought Iâ€8482d mention them in case anyone was looking for a quality made tree/condo or...

So I read a bunch of water fountain threads but could I just get a quick polling on whether there is a real benefit to the Drinkwell Platinum version over the Original? Is it that much better for the kitties? Those of you who have experience with both, do your kitties like it better? Or is it...

I made the mistake some time ago and bought a box of wet food that I was not planning to feed to my boys in long term… and now they are hooked on it… How do I get them off Fancy Feast, itâ€8482s like they are on junk food diet and donâ€8482t want to eat the healthier stuff mommy puts on...

What might be the causes for greasy coat? Is it usually dietary issues or related to grooming too? Our new boy Teppo seems to have very greasy coat, mainly the tail and on the back end of his back. He is 3 years old male and we got him about 7 weeks ago from shelter. He is seal point Siamese and...

My cat Ossi seems to be “allergic†to snow. This is not a problem but I wondered if anyone else has similar experience. If Ossi walks on snow, he will vomit. Itâ€8482s kind of silly and solved by not going out in the snow. Since Ossi is an indoor-cat and only gets to go on walks in harness as...
