My cat princess is 16 years old. Her breath is really bad and one of her canine teeth is missing. She has stopped eating dry food and only eats wet food. She is probably in pain. I am thinking of having her teeth cleaned at the vets and have that broken off tooth taken care of but I am worried...

I adopted a sick kitty. He is finally getting better and will be able to roam around the house and meet my other cats soon. Does anybody know how to disinfect the room the kitty was confined to? I have some workout equipment in there. Do I just use soap and water to clean all the surfaces? I...

I picked up my adopted kitten from the shelter yesterday. Unfortunately they couldn't neuter him because he developed an upper respitory infection. Poor guy is sneezing and really stuffed up. I have three other cats and I am worried they will get sick too. New kitten is confined in a seperate...

I adopted a kitten from a shelter and he is infested with fleas. Does anybody know the dosage to give him? I use the 55lbs and over dog advantge on my cats which was suggested on this site. Most of my other cats get the small dose 0.4 ml. I use a 1cc syringe to measure the amount. Should I give...

One of my cats wonâ€8482t chew his dry food. He gulps it down like there is no tomorrow. Thatâ€8482s why he is a little overweight. Is there a good quality dry food that contains larger kibbles? Most of the good stuff has all small kibbles and the ones with larger ones are all junk food. TIA.

My cat princess went for her regular checkup at the vets office and a few days later she started sneezing very badly, like 6-8 sneezes in one sitting, and she was all stuffed up. She is 15 years old. She obviously picked this up at the vets office. She was a prefectly healthy cat before she...

I am planning to adopt a cat this weekend from a high kill shelter. I know a lot of these cats are sick and receive no medical treatment. I am planning to take the cat to the vet for tests. What kind of tests should I ask for? I know I will have them test for leukemia and FIV and worms. Anything...

I really like long haired cats. Since I am adopting a kitten it is really hard to tell, at least for me, if the kitten will turn out to be a long or short hair cat. How can I tell at 2 months old if he is gong to be long or short hair? What are the tell tail signs? Thanks so much.

I am adopting a kitten from a shelter and of course they wonâ€8482t let you take the kitten unless they are spayed or neutered. I will probably adopt a 2 month old kitten. Isnâ€8482t 2 months old too young to be spayed/neutered. I am really worried about this. Donâ€8482t they need to be at...

One of my cats died suddenly at 15 months old and my other cat who is 2 years old misses his buddy. I would like to adopt a kitten for him. The cat that died was a male and my current cat is a male as well. They got along great. They were best friends, always playing and cuddling. I am thinking...

Is it okay to soak dry food in water and give it to my cats to eat? One of my cats really likes it that way. I mix about 2 cups of dry food with 2.5 cups of water, soak for 2 hours, smoosh it and keep it in the fridge until gone. Do you see any harm in doing this?

One of my cats never chews his food. I adopted him in December of 2008. I think he has an eating disorder, LOL. He grabs a lot of dry food at once and just swallowes it without chewing. I have seen him chew before every now and then so he does know how. And his teeth are fine. I think...

I have three cats and advantage is getting expensive. Right now I am using the formula for cats under 9 pounds. None of my cats weight over nine pounds. I was thinking of using the one for cats over 9 pounds and just splitting the dosage in half. Has anybody done this? How would I go about this...

My vet gave me Terramycin to use on Angel for his puffy red eye. He said it was herpes. His infection cleared up pretty fast. It has been one week now of using Terramycin and his eye is back to normal. The vet told me to use the ointment for 2 weeks. Is it okay to only use is for 1 week? His eye...

Hi, I am the proud owner of 3 beautiful cats. My oldest is 14 years old. My 2 boys are 1 year old. The two boys get along really well. They play a little rough at times. I noticed yesterday that one of the boys has problems with his right eye. The eyelid is a little swollen and red. I assume his...
