Question: Im a new cat owner. I have a oci whos almost 1yr old. Shes been chronically sneezing for months (I have other threads on that subject). 2 days ago she started getting azithromycine (commonly called zithro) 0.5 ml at night. I gave that to her tonight and about 2 hrs later she threw...

Sorry I didnt share this already but shes had an xray of the nasal cavity. It showed what the doctor thought was minor damage to the back of the nasal cavity caused by an infection as a kitten. I will check on if she was tested for herpes, i think she was and it was negative.

Stephanie - thanks for your story. Pepper, my Oci has clear snot again after a round of antibiotics but this is always the case. She will improve for sometimes months before she starts getting green/yellow snot. Right now she's clear but very sneezy having just finished a round of antibiotics...

Shes been tested for herpes and it came back negative -- shes on duralactin lysine right now. She had it before, this is her 2nd tube of it on this round of treatment. Im not sure if does anything or not. Where would you buy more if I want to? Its expensive from the vet.

And washing windows...

If yours is like mine shes otherwise normal, eats, plays, gains weight like a growing cat but shoots snot everywhere. Everytime shes on an antibiotic she improves but never shakes it.

I have an oci whos approaching one year old. Literally for almost all her life shes been sneezing. Im at wits end - Ive seen the vet more times than I can count. My cat sneezes all the time - when its bad she shoots gobs of green snot. After a round of antibiotic it backs down to sneezing...

Ditto - I have a 8 month old who has destroyed a cell phone charger and now a laptop cord by chewing them. I also hide everything I can but I cant keep her from behind the entertainment center (lots of wires). What can I do? The stopshock stuff you linked to is a good idea, looks like the...

My 6month old oci cat doesn't seem to want to clean her rear end. When she uses the box she has soft (not diarrhea, best I can tell) stool. She doesn't really bury anything and doesnt clean herself after using the box. Where ever she next sits or lays she leaves little dirty marks on the...

She had a vet visit - I still owe them a stool sample.

Do I need pet shampoos to give her a wash?

She's laying with me now - right now she smells (noticeable whenever you are anywhere close to her). Looking in her litter box I don't think she's gone recently. I'm feeding her what the breeder had been feeding her - fancy feast chicken and royal canin dry. The name is still up in the air...

Hi everyone - I think she is improving (less sneezing). She was brought by car over a long trip. 4 hrs with the breeder followed by 4 hrs with me (meet in the middle). I have the antibiotic but I'm not sure when to stop giving it to her. I have a good sized bottle - I'll check w/ my vet...

Hello -- My new ocicat kitten appears to have a upper respiratory infection - she is sneezing occasionally with discharge. I took her to the vet and have an antibiotic. Should I be concerned or will she kick this fairly quickly?

Now I'm still wet behind the ears with all this but can you tell from a photo if a cat has a URI? The kitten might have been 8 weeks at the time of the photo - if its healthy now would that be acceptable or not? I'm still trying to get details on the health guarentee's - the breeder said "I...

Everyone in this thread has been very helpful! I spoke more with the breeder who sent me the photos that I opened this thread with (the 'sickly looking' kitten). He said the photos are 2 or 3 months out of date - the eye thing has since been cleared up. The kittens are 16 weeks old right now...

I want a social and playful cat. My brother happened to end up lucky with a tabby from a shelter that greets strangers at the door, talks to you, wakes you up from a nap if it wants to play, brings you the toys it wants to play with, plays fetch, etc. etc etc.

Well this certainly isn't a easy decision. I have lots of people (not just here) telling me to get a free kitten from a shelter but I also love the idea of the personality of a ocicat. Here's the problem - 1 ocicat is expensive enough! I think I could afford one but 2? wow! Here's the deal...

Someone else local to my area (well within a 2 hr drive) is offering oci's for 875 http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleIma...p5Fd3Ig%3D http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleIma...v4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleIma...v4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D Apparently they have 2 litters - one age 2 weeks, one...

The most important thing I'm looking for is a social cat - I don't want one that runs and hides all the time. Some family and friends have had extremely social cats that I love and others have had cats that I couldn't ever approach - it just ran. I'd prefer a kitten also. Thoughts on how to...
