    Pricilla's Grass

    I've been concerned about the lack of a source of edible grass for my four indoor-only cats, so I was wondering if anyone has tried, and/or can recommend "Pricilla's Grass"?  I would also like to know about any similar products, or what others do to provide edible grass or live plant matter for...

    Is it worth treating asymptomatic Giardia?

    My cat tested positive for Giardia, in addition to tapeworm.  They treated the tapeworm in the hospital with one course of medication.  But the Giardia diagnosis had to be confirmed by lab.  When the vet called me with the diagnosis he wants me to put her on Metronidazole AND Pancure -...

    Kitty returns from hospital - others don't "know" her any more!

    I had to bring my 1 year old female to the emergency room on Sunday night because she seemed to be in distress, and had a sudden onset of vomiting.  I thought she had swallowed something. Long story short:  They kept her overnight and treated her, but when I brought her home, my 3 other cats...

    Excessive "Scaredy Cat" Issue

    My 3 year old male has always avoided strangers, visitors, or even potential visitors (the door bell), by bolting to a very tight space and remaining there for many hours after the "threat" is gone. I have three other cats that behave similarly, but recover immediately, as soon as the coast is...

    Raw beaten egg OK

    Hi, I posted this in the "Cat Health" section before I realized there was a deticated section to "Raw Feeding". The two responses I received seemed tentative. So I'm moving the post: Just the other day I noticed that my 1 year old female likes to lap up my beaten eggs (before I cook them)...

    Are Raw Eggs OK?

    Just the other day I noticed that my 1 year old female likes to lap up my beaten eggs (before I cook them)! She is always very curious to watch me prepare things on the kitchen counter, but rarely tries to nibble anything. So, when I turned my back to grab a dish, I noticed she had sneaked up...

    Still can't "touch" Honey (after 5 months)

    Last March I took in a 6 month old female to foster. She was found in a loading dock in the cold of February, and the people who found her (thank God), called a rescue group instead of Animal Control. Anyway, she stayed with one foster for about a month, and I was told that she loved the other...

    Giardia

    I've recently took in a 5-month old foster. She's a beautiful little girl, but she always has diharria. The vet diagnosed her with "Giardia", and said it's extremely common. He treated her, and now she is getting better. My question (after spending hours Googling "giardia"), has to do with...

    Weruva canned food

    I've been trying to get my cats on a high quality wet food (one of them is a Fancy Feast addict). I tried Merrick, and they weren't crazy about it. But they seem to really like the Weruva. Does anyone have thoughts on this brand? The ingrediants seem very good, but I just noticed that it's...

    Taking Your Cat's Picture

    I have three cats - two kitten sibs, and my 3 year old male Bombay. I can get great head shots of the little guys. They could care less, and will ignore the camera all day. But my big boy will just run out of the room as soon as the camera comes out of the case! I have no idea what negative...

    Question about Hyperthyroidism

    I'm a relatively new cat owner, but I do a lot of reading. I adopted two 6 month old sibs (male and female) in December, and they're wonderful kitties, however, the female is tiny (about 5 lbs) and has a voracious appetite! I mean, she ALWAYS wants to eat - and I feed her a lot. Problem...

    Sad Story - Any Advice?

    I've been a member for quite a while, but this may be my first post. I live in Lower Manhattan (NYC), a high-rise neighborhood. For the record, I have a 2 year old male cat named Solo. Last week I saw a flyer in my local pet shop that was looking to find a home for two 4-month old adorable...
