Did you ever find out why your cats had itchy ears? You asked about feeding them Blue Buffalo. Well about 2-3 years ago, I was feeding my cat Blue Buffalo and he had itchy ears while he was on that brand of cat food. But at that time I didn't know why his ears itched. I knew it was NOT ear...

I can't find anybody else with this problem. At first it wasn't a big deal but today I have become sick & tired of it. I was rebuilding my cats litter box and cut my finger, my guitar playing index finger. Made me very angry because the whole thing is so stupid in the 1st place. Why can't my cat...

I'm so sorry to hear you lost Dingle.  After all you both went through, its just not fair.

Thanks so much.    Yes the vet did a urinalysis and looked at it with microscope. And she examined my cat real good. Checked 12 different systems, his eyes & heart, his temperature, skin, lymph nodes etc. We were there for a good hour. She sold me Hill's prescription diet - Bladder health...

I have 1 cat only and adopted him from a shelter at 6 months old. I've had him for 3 years and every things been great until 5 weeks ago when he clawed up my sofa which WAS in perfect condition. That day I just got home from work and I got his cat toy out for playtime which I do everyday. Then I...

How do you know if your cat needs this? My Mom gave me a planter kit of this for Christmas. its now 6" tall but what do I do with it?

Thanks You have some sweet cats also. I envy you for all the kitty company as I only have Cody, but I do not even envy all the maintenance of owning 6 cats. They all sound like great cats and their all lucky to have humans like you. Your right, I do spoil Cody some.

Well I'm already cutting back by giving him 1/3 cup. Up until a week ago I was feeding 3/4 cup a day but he was getting a little overweight, but he is a BIG eater and loves to eat. So with 1/3 cup 2 times a day he is complaining a lot. The problem is I feed him Blue Buffalo and the only pet...

I just wanted to update this thread and let you all know that I adopted a 6 month old kitten from Open door shelter. I got HIM on December of 2008 so I have had him for 1 year. So now he is 1 1/2 years old. Open door shelter had 200 cats to adopt. But before I went there I already knew what...

I feed my cat 1/3 cup of dry food twice a day. but due to this terrible weather I have not been to the store to get more food, so until monday when I can buy more food I have only enough for 7 feedings but I need 8. so I will be 1 feeding short. can I mix an egg in with the food?

This is my 1st cat, had him 6 months now and he never has clawed any of my funiture. but I do trim his claws a little. now I am getting him a condo and I want to know if I should trim his claws or not. I am getting a condo & a tree and both are 60"+ tall. Will he need full claws to use them...

Everything seems to be ok except for the cold. Thanks for the help, it really helps to get advise. he started eating today and he has been drinking water and using the litter box. So as soon as we cure the cold he will be in perfect health. Problem is I need to find a GOOD vet.

I have been reading the different threads on this site for a while now and I have learned that cats are complicated pets. But despite that I still wanted to adopt a cat. So after tossing the idea around and looking on Petfinder.com for a couple months just to make sure I really wanted one. I...

Yes I would like to get another cat. Since I had Rusty I have become very interrested in cats. And I'm looking forward to adopting another one or two. I like the idea of getting two kittens to keep each other company for the years to come. But I'm going to wait a little while, maybe around...

No i haven't known ther was a "Crossing the Bridge". I will check it out, maybe it can help pick my heart up. Do you think the cats & kittens at shelter's are OK? Reason I ask is because thats where I got Rusty from.

I want to thank everyone for all the help, and kind words. And also thanks to the 3 members who sent me the gifts. I want you all to know it matters a lot to me and you made it easier for me to get through this difficult time with my cat Rusty. I still want to have a cat, but before I even look...

Here is my update on how Rusty is doing. I only had him 3 weeks and he never drank any water or milk since I first brought him home. At first he would only eat a tiny bite of canned food, then he stopped eating totally. He was completely calm, comfortable, and happy living with me, and he slept...

OK, I just checked his mouth and his teeth look great all white and light pink gums and tongue. The dark brown spot on his bottom lip doesn't hurt him when I touch it but I can't tell if it should be there. I can't see any reason why he won't eat, but he does seem like he is feeling better now...

Ok, I will check the inside of his mouth for problems. But this is my first cat ever and I know almost nothing about dealing with cat heath problems and all this is overwhelming me. So, thank you all SO much for helping us both, and please be patient with my slow typing of replies.
