    Royal Canin Urinary S/O formula change

    Recently Royal Canin reformulated their Urinary SO formula to contain no wheat gluten and replaced it instead with soy protein. I can report favorable results with the cat insofar as he is eating more without gaining weight as a result of a less filling product and less "thickening" fat from the...

    Cat with a dog-like face

    http://www.petrefuge.com/FRAMES%20CA...ith%20body.htm These are cats from the shelter where I volunteer and I wanted to mention to the coordinator something about being quite sure I had never seen Romano before/would have remembered such a 'unique' look etc. without being too obvious - or worse...

    FeLv + cat in the room last night....

    Well, kind of long story short : I took in a kitty for the night that had been abandoned and was found a week ago outside our apartment complex, as a favor to the manager. Today we did the vet thing, got the test back and she is leukemia positive. Do I need to do anything now besides thoroughly...

    Stray cat in temporary custody - do or don't distemper booster shot ?

    Does immunity to the specific viruses that the vaccines are for decrease after a 3-4 week period therefore requiring a second dose to increase immunity again ? And even if boosters extend the life of the vaccine, do I really need to get a stray that I've taken in that DRCC BOOSTER shot...

    Can my apartment manager ban legal feral feeding on the complex ?

    I'm in quite a funk over this. Yesterday the property manager stopped me in the office to tell me that I need to stop feeding even the relatively few stray and ferals that we do claim. Naturally I don't want to give up my caretaker role or involvement in a TNR program, their life is hard enough...

    Tapeworm???

    I've seen a few cream colored bits (eggs?) on one of my cats recently as well and will be trying to get a stool sample for the vet tomorrow. Advantage (if I recall that was the prescription) has worked well once before when this flared up because it is is effective against both fleas and...

    Do high frequency noise devices deter cats ?

    I don't know if anyone can help me or not but I need to come up with a solution to a neighbor in the apartment complex where I live complaining that the cats I'm feeding have ruined her car with paint scratches. Is this even possible ? I've heard cats claws CAN scratch the paint when they jump...

    When will the feral cat I had neutered yesterday stop roaming and aggressing ?

    How long before the feral cat I had neutered yesterday stops roaming, territoriality and aggression ? I heard that that unaltered males who reach sexual maturity before they are neutered will still have testosterone in their system after the surgery that will drop off gradually over a 2-3 week...

    Is laryngitis, tonsillitis, throat infections, inflamed/irritated vocal cords etc in

    I'm just concerned because the 3 mos little stray I just gave up to a foster home was here five days to get spayed and at the end could barely squeak out the faintest meow. With no overt trauma to the larynx or respiratory infection, I'm assuming it was simple overuse -- excessive howling that...
