    Severe Overgrooming

    Dax is a 4 year old cat that I rescued as a kitten. For the last 6-8 mo, we have been trying to figure out why he scratches and grooms like crazy. He has created sores on his neck and base of tail so he's now sporting a "cone of shame". I've been to the vet 5(?) times. They have told me that it...

    Scabs & Scratching

    I have a 3 year old male cat with pretty severe skin issues, and I need advice on what to do next. Back in May, we discovered a UTI. We took him to the vet, and they, of course, switched to his food. He stayed on the vet's prescription food for a couple of months. Once he finished the bag, we...

    Temporary Living Situation is not Cat Friendly

    My boyfriend and I are in the process of selling our house. We moved into a small apartment above my parents' garage while we paint, redo floors, etc. Once the house sells, we will be moving into a larger house that we plan to make cat-friendly. Unfortunately, we are living in a 600 sq ft...

    Partial facial paralysis in 2 year old cat

    I just want to know if anyone has seen this before. We took him to the vet today, and she's stumped. She's calling a specialist, but she says it might be a few days before they get back to me. A couple of weeks ago, our male 2 year old bengal started chewing on his fur, pulling it out in large...

    Having a hard time

    I just need to talk about this. I can't seem to focus on my routine, and unfortunately, I feel like it's so prevalent because the one I lost was the most loving. I had four beautiful cats with very different personalities. My beautiful small white cat was so in your face with her love that at...

    Oh god the fleas...

    I've had cats for years, and never have I encountered more resistant fleas. As soon as I see a flea, I treat everything. Of course, that's exactly what I did last month. We started with Sentry drops, which seemed to work for a few days. Then they were back. We started bathing the cats once a...

    I have a cat not eating and I'm really starting to get worried.

    I just moved in with my boyfriend and between the two of us, we have four wonderful cats. We did the two week introduction period, but the only thing we had a problem with is the only room big enough to put the two new cats in was upstairs and away from the only place the two resident cats would...

    Meeting the Needs of Two Cats

    I have two very sweet cats with two different health issues. Nym is a fluffy black cat and Snow White is a chubby white cat. Nym has trouble with hair balls. I have been bathing and brushing her since she was a kitten, but I noticed that certain foods clear up her hair balls altogether. Snow...

    My cat can't refrain from sleeping on top of things.

    We have a rule in our home. The cats can put their little butts wherever we put ours. So they know they're not supposed to be on the table, counters, desks, etc. They've been pretty good about it for the past two years. Then all of a sudden, when we build two nice computer desks and I set my...
