    Cystitis - how to treat?

    Thanks, that's good to know. The vet rang me yesterday and said there is protein and white blood cells in his urine so the infection isn't clear yet. But she said the sample was left under the microscope and when she came back to it these strange crystals had formed, she had no idea what they...

    Cystitis - how to treat?

    I made an appointment this morning just to talk to the vet, she was very helpful. I just said I was finding it a nightmare to feed him separately to the other cats. So now I've got a bottle of Cystease to give him twice daily for a week, then once a day for a fortnight, one every other day...

    Cystitis - how to treat?

    Thanks for the reply. I would love to have a vet that I could talk to about these things but to be honest all the vets round here seem to care about is money. Yeah kittymonster the ingredients in the Royal Canin aren't good at all imo. It's 4% meat bulked out with maize. I don't know the ph...

    Cystitis - how to treat?

    My cat, Belle, was diagnosed with this a month ago. As from Friday he's had his 3rd course of antibiotics prescribed. He's been given dry prescription food to break up the crystals. But there are 3 problems with this A - he's just not a cat that likes dry food. He has always had some but much...

    New Kitten, Very Shy & Scared

    I took a feral kitten in once, at that age he will come around. I'm sorry to say there's not an awful lot you can do but give him time. I used to sing softly to mine and pet her but didn't pick her up when she obviously didn't want it. From my memory within 4 or 5 days the hissing just about...

    A couple of litter problems!!

    I would definitely get another littertray too. Around the same place if you can but I have trays spread all round the house and it's fine. A good and cheaper litter than WBCL (which I've tried and thought it was ok, but not good enough to justify the price of it) is Cat's Best Oko Plus. It...

    Hi, I'm new

    Thank you, Pam. Easy is beautiful, is she a Norwegian Forest Cat? I do have a question, do you have to have a certain number of posts to have an avatar? I can't see a section for that in my control panel

    Hi, I'm new

    Hi Hosman and thank you. I think they're beautiful too If you think Tigger looks good you ought to see his temperament. He's THE most loving and good-natured cat I've ever seen, just an all-round brilliant puss. In my experience my cats don't get jealous of each other, or if they do I haven't...

    Building work = dirty cats!

    I've used fragrance-free baby wipes on my cats when they've gotten dust in their coats, or just a clean cloth with water. I just stroke them with it and it does help. Good luck

    Mama don't brush me!

    I have a Furminator but don't like it, I find it too bulky to work with. The best thing I've found for my cats is a grooming mitt. I know a lot of people don't like them but mine enjoy being groomed with it and it's flexible so I can do their back and sides in one stroke. An amazing amount of...
