    Microchipping

    He's always seemingly leery about having his information "data-based" - such as, he doesn't give out his email or phone number on any type of form if he doesn't have to. It's not something I'd even say I understand... but I showed him some cute kittens, and he liked them, but said "But they're...

    Vet advising against raw meat diet supplement, fears E. Coli

    Has anybody stated the factual evidence that raw is beneficial? Other than saying "they eat raw outside anyway" - I mean information brought about through studies. Not personal opinion. Because the parasites, etc. that can appear within commercially raised meat here, and furthermore, bacteria...

    Microchipping

    Is there any way to check if it's required by law in your state to have your pet microchipped? My boyfriend doesn't like the idea for some reason, and would rather not have it done if he gets a kitten. Also, if it isn't required in my state, is there a way to clear the microchip? Like say, if...

    Help! Growth on my Cat's Neck!

    I'm really confused as to why the vet didn't suggest a specialist and even more confused as to why they didn't do any blood work. And if they're worried it may be cancer - they should at least ask if you'd like it surgically removed so they can test the tissue of the area. As for a cyst, we...

    Vet advising against raw meat diet supplement, fears E. Coli

    Until coming on this board, I never even heard of feeding them raw meat. But I have a question : tons of parasites can be found in raw meat. They can literally destroy their hosts, and if your pet intakes the parasite, there's even a chance of it passing to you. I don't see why anyone would...

    Cat secludes himself to select parts of house

    Well, to my surprise, I came home from work tonight and binx walked into the living room with all of us, all the cats, and the TV on. He didn't stay in here very long, but he didn't run out of the room, just left when he felt like it I guess. But he was content when he was in here, rubbing up...

    Is my cat dying?

    You could always just call a vet and ask them if they think it's normal symptoms - explain that you're young and that your parents need extra convincing. Or even walk into a vet office and do the same, I'm sure even a receptionist would suggest that 11 is not old enough for those symptoms.

    Am I a bad mother?

    Our cats honestly haven't been vaccinated in years.. the only time it happens is if we take them to the vet for other reasons, and the vet sees that they aren't up to date on them. They're all indoor cats, and there's nothing they'd be exposed to, so we don't see the reason.

    What kind of breed is my cat?

    I'm not sure if it's a breed, but his markings are definitely 'tuxedo' markings. Cute cat !

    What happened to my cat?

    Nothing on why his leg was swollen though? Maybe his seizures were due to his high fever.

    Rajah's Teeth - before and after

    I feel very weary for your cat. My cat biggy had dental work done, and the spots in which shots were injected ended up being infected with cancerous tumors. I read up online that this can definitely happen, so even when you think all his dental work is done - continue to frequently check his...

    What happened to my cat?

    can he walk at all? perhaps he has a bad bruise or a sprain of some sort, maybe his leg jammed up when the hamper pushed him down. as for the fever, i'm not sure, but maybe cats can get fevers from stress? or maybe the stress just lowered his immunity and he is sick now as well. i feel...

    I already posted a thread of my kitties here. But to introduce myself: My name is Alyssa, I'm 21 years old, and going to school to become an Art teacher. I was contemplating becoming a vet tech, but there were a lot of complications with finding a program that fit my schedule, but when I get...

    autism

    my mom's wondered the same thing. one of my kitty's used to stare at the ceiling and wall aimlessly, as well as randomly swat at the air when there was definitely nothing there. he doesn't really do it anymore though, so i don't know what was up - we had thought maybe he was a little slow...

    A legless cat!

    wow, and i was amazed by the video on youtube of oscar. this is horrible, but i am glad she's getting on okay. i don't understand when people [in the comments on youtube] say that she shouldn't have been saved. why not? she obviously has the will to fight through her disability, and doesn't...

    Cat walks with bent wrists??

    My guess is they probably had the same reaction while adjusting, but it's obviously not going to look exactly the same.
