thanks carolina

my 1.5 yr cat has not been eating her food since last night and seems to have a fever. she didnt touch her food this morning either and has been acting very tired. she doesnt play with the other cat and is not interested in chasing laser pointer either. she has never had any medical problems...

thanks all.. I just wanted to make sure that there are no health risks involved from accidentally ingesting the clay litter. I was worried after reading on the internet that sodium bentonite which is the clumping agent, can make kittens sick. well i guess i'll try different brands and see...

Thank you all for your comments. I'd stick with the World's best cat litter if I could, but the doctor says my cat's claw infection might be from an allergic reaction to the corn litter (and Swheat scoop as well). Other possibility is pemphigus, which costs too much to diagnose throught a...

I've just started switching to clay litter from corn litter, because one of my cats might be allergic to corn litter. I bought a bag of Dr Elsey's Precious Cat, and it's really dusty (althought it claims to be 99.9 % dust free) and gets stuck on the cats' behinds. Did anyone experience a problem...

well, it starts with his hind legs and seems to spread to the front. this time he got the inflammation (which is the second time), the middle two claw on his left hind leg were affected really badly, and also his 4th claw on the left front paw was slightly inflammated. Other than that, I...

My 1-yr-old cats keeps getting a bacterial infection on his cuticles (that thin layer of skin that wraps around his claws). The vet can't really think of anything that might cause the inflammation. (My other cat is fine btw) He's an indoor cat, i have no moldy floors, and I'm sure he doesn't...

That's what I was thinking too. $400 is a high pice to pay for a moggie even if it looks like a purebred. Plue I don't think they will agree to do a DNA test for such cat.

Now both my kittens have been fixed, there won't be any scheduled visits to the vet until their annual booster shots. But there seems to be a concern about over-vaccinating your pets since it can cause cancer. My doctor says that the cats will get the FVRCP plus the rabies every year. What do...

I saw this ad online for Ragdoll x scottish fold kittens. The seller says their mother is a ragdoll scottish fold and the father is the flame point ragdoll and sent me their pics too. Are these kittens considered purebred highland folds? How are highlands normally bred...

I was at a cat show just this weekend and had a chance to chat with a Royal Canin rep. I had to ask for her opinion on raw food and she said that raw food may not have all the essential nutrients cats need in their diet, but they are added to all their products. I remember reading somewhere...

The shelter I volunteer at, I've only seen one ragdoll so far. I'll look for other shelters around the area I guess. Thanks for your suggestions.

I have two non-pedigree cats adopted from acquaintances. Now my boyfriend wants to buy a purebred british shorthair. I'd like an exotic or a scottish fold myself. But I also volunteer at a local humane society and can't stand the sight of sweet kitties having no loving home to go to. Of...

Yeah, I read her book too and it was one of the reasons why I switched to all raw. It was very informative but at the same time I was so frightened of all the diseases cats may get from dry food! Since these are my first cats and I didn't know anything about pet food before, I guess I should...

I have two kittens and they are my very first pets ever. I fed used to feed them Wellness and Halo for the first month after weening. They don't have any health problems since they are only kittens, but I started to read the ingredient lists on processed food and decided to look for other...

Thanks, mschauer. I'm located in Canada and not too many of the raw food brands are available here even in Toronto. I'm happy with NV since my cats love all their products. My only concern is that it is also for dogs. Does this make any difference since cats require more protein in their diet?

I've been feeding my kittens raw for about 4 months now. I use Nature's vatiery and Healthy Paws since they come in convenient patties. I've never tried the home made recepies and wondering are they supposed to be better than using store bought raw food? And also, I guess we are all aware of...

I was just petting my 7 month old kitten and felt a foreign material under her skin around near her back bone. It is about 1/4 of an inch long and narrow. I asked a friend and they said it could be her microchip moving along the back. Has this happened to anyone and should I be concerned about...

Thanks everyone for your comments. I've never owned any pets before these guys so I'm kinda clueless. One more thing though; I just noticed that he's not chewing food on the left side (where the inflammation is). Is teething supposed to be that painful?

I have two 6-month-old kittens. One of them seems to be developing some sort of inflammation on his gum line. I did make an appointment with the vet, but I'm paranoid about it right now. First photo shows the left side with a small red pimple like thing. Second photo is the right side. Thanks...
