    How to hide pills so a difficult cat will take her pills?

    She has trouble with big pills in her mouth. She gags. So I don't think the gel caps would work for her. :(

    Smokie Throwing Up - Ideas?

    Well the food he was switched from was also grain free and dry. I switched thinking maybe it was another ingredient in the old food making him throw up. Both are grain free just this one doesn't have salmon in it. He was on a Mounds Perfectly natural, and is going to Feldiea I think it is. He...

    Cats with food allergies

    The vet said that any waxy build up in the ears is an allergy most likely food. If it's seasonal it will come and go. If it's all the time, it's food allergy.  I've had them on the food for the last year and a half probably and it's been a problem for the last 6 months. He is constantly...

    Question on cats ears getting red and hot after play?

    I am in new territory with older cats, so I don't really know about what to expect. My first cat crossed the rainbow bridge at 8,  One at 2 years and another at 8 years. So as they get older, little things concern me ;)  My last one passed of a stroke, so red ears make me think high blood...

    I have noticed on and off that my orange tabby's ears are red and when I touch them they are warm.

    Cats with food allergies

    I'll have to look into that one and see what the price. I do notice that most of those higher quality foods only have 15lbs in the bag as opposed to 20. I may have to try it and see if I can work with the 15lbs as apposed to the 20lbs.  And if it's not more than $35. If it's more, It's out of my...

    Stressed Out Cat

    No the newest female that is in the family we gained in 2007 so that's 5 going on 6 years ago.  The one that gets the brunt of it is 11 years old (this coming January 15th).  But he also likes to pick on Sassy who is 16 years old.  He's not the alpha male. Smokie who is 11 is the alpha male...

    Stressed Out Cat

    I have an 7 year old orange and grey tabby (neutered) that has been pouncing on the females mostly. I have two males and three females.  He's been more aggressive about it since my one male cat has been diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism.  And one year ago today I had to help one of my furbabies...

    Cat Door Question - Kind of Behavior Related

    We had a cat door that we installed when we first bought our house.  And they are pretty rough on it.  If they really wanted in they would just push the door and the tabs that kept it closed would pop off and they'd come in. (We lock them downstairs in the basement because otherwise they keep us...

    Scented Petroleum Jelly...Need Help!

    He seems fine.  But I do plan on calling the company to tell them that they need to mark that it's scented with larger print, because a lot of people with cats use just petroleum jelly also and need to know if it's scented as it could possibly be dangerous if ingested by an animal.

Then noticed a smell to only realize it was the Petroleum Jelly!  I didn't see it labeled because they wrote it so small...
