My 17 year old cat Sassy has beginning CRF, Hyper T, and now a small heart murmur.  She's on Methimazole, Zyrtec for the methimazole because it makes her itchy, Zantac for her stomac, and Benazapril for her heart.  She used to take a pill pocket until I gave her one with a seditive and...

I have a 11 year old male cat Smokie (neutered). He was diagnosed with Hyperthyrodisim on January 21, 2011. He's been on medication 1/2 pill am and 1/2 and 1/4 pill pm. Stable. He started throwing up about every few days last april.  He wasn't loosing any weight.  Brought him in to check his...

I have noticed on and off that my orange tabby's ears are red and when I touch them they are warm. I've noticed after play recently they became red and warm.  His is orange, and his ears are very visibly red.  Though after the activity they seem to go back to normal color.  I've noticed when he...

I have one cat that has an allergy to corn.   I also am suspecting I have at least 3 cats that are allergic to Salmon.  I have them on a Local pet food store's store brand. It's called Perfectly natural and has no corn in it.  They've been on it over a year, and at least two cats have had a...

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...

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...

Today as one of my cats was in my lap and the window shades were open I noticed that in her left ear there as a TON of brown buildup. It's dry and flaky  It didn't look gunky like the pictures I found on the internet of ear mite buildup.  I got some of it out but not sure what I should be...

I purchased a new bigger tub of petroleum jelly as all my cats will take that nicely for hairballs and such.  Well I opened it tonight and gave a little bit to one of my cats. Then noticed a smell to only realize it was the Petroleum Jelly!  I didn't see it labeled because they wrote it so small...

Charlie is my orange & grey tabby. He is 7 years old and recently within the last 5 months I've noticed a strange behavior quirk.  He's been to the vet and they did blood tests etc and he is normal and healthy.  My vet says it's a cat thing. But I have no idea why he has this type of strange...

I came home to find a dead mouse on my floor.  It looks like it's been dead for quite some time though.  My main concern is that we have chemicals in the garage such as poisons etc, and that if the mouse got into one of those items, that it could harm the cats if they get a hold of the mouse...

My cat lucky has already had antibiotics for a UTI.  She was peeing in small amounts.  The vet prescribed antibiotics, and she finished those.  But she was still peeing frequently and the urine spots were still smaller than normal.  The vet gave me another set of antibiotics to try and put her...

For the past year I've noticed my previously sweet 8y/o neutered male likes to pounce on two of my female cats.  I usually hear hissing and screeching from the basement or another room to find him with his tail all poofy running around chasing one of the two females.  I asked a vet about it. She...

I have two cats that have troubles with UTI's.   The vet suggested the prescription diet food. However, I have one cat who is allergic to any type of Corn ingredient in foods.  Any foods I've found that are for UT health, they have corn in it.   The vet gave me treats which the other's love, but...

I have lost two other cats before but they made it easy on me and I didn't have to make the decision to have them PTS.  This is my first time having to do this, and it hurts so much. My faith was only 8 years old and suffered a stroke.  I brought her into the vet because she was breathing...

I came home tonight to find Faith gasping. She was breathing through her mouth. I rushed her to the vet. The only vet that was open right now tonight. He took a look at her and said he thinks that she had a pulmonary embolism. He gave her some medication injections which seems to be working. He...

I have one cat Callie who will chew on anything and eat it. We have a remnant carpet in the living room covering the wood floor (not to protect it, to cover up it's ugly sight! prior owners let their dogs pee on it. So it's badly stained!) Anyway I'm vigilant about cutting any frays and...

It's been a while since I have posted in regard to Smokie. He was throwing up a lot when he was on the dry food. Since I've been putting him on 1 can a day of wet cat food. The vet took a wait and see approach to the weight loss because she couldn't feel anything on his Thyroid three months...

Hi - I'm just wondering if anyone can give me some advice. I have a cat, Sassy. She's probably around 14 years old. I've started noticing recently within the last few months that while I'm working she'll try to get attention. She'll try walking onto my laptop making it hard for me to work...

Since smokie was throwing up I had noticed that I could feel his back bones more. I could feel his hip bones more. He's always been a active thin cat and thin. He gets active and races around the house in the morning and late evening. He doesn't over eat, and he drinks ample water. The last...

I had been having one of my cats on and off poop on the floor in the basement. Sometimes it would be just outside the box and other times it was out in the main part of the basement. This morning I found out who it was. It was faith. I found some yesterday morning but wasn't sure who it was...
