    Food dilemma

    My original kitty gets about 1/4 of food a day, but she rarely eats it all. Before switching to TOTW she would eat a cup+ a day. My new kitten was eating almost 1-1/2 a day and now he only eats 1/2 cup. Guess the better quality food sticks to them better. A 5 pound bag seems to last 2 months...

    Small lump on nose? (pictures)

    Looking at the pictures i'd say it is just his facial structure. Like humans cats all have different nose shapes and sizes. I doubt it was caused by an injury but if it was it has long since healed and is nothing to worry about since it is not bothering him.

    Food dilemma

    I adopted a 1 year old tabby about a week ago from the shelter, he is fed 2 times a day. I was told he would eat just about anything. I have an 8 year old torti at home who has been eating TOTW food for a few months. My new cat did not seem to like the TOTW so i gave him some purina healthful...

    Coccidia

    It sucks big time, i've got general anxiety, social anxiety, depression and ocd. Tend to make even the littlest problems seem so huge. He seems to be staying out of trouble so far minus the plant as a litter box accident last night. He's sleeping right now in my box spring

    Very Itchy Cat

    Might be something you have already tried but my cat had dry skin that was really flaky and itchy too. She would scratch til it bleed and then it would scab over, she pulled out wads of fur and the fur on her lower back near her tail was getting really thin too. I tried everything including...

    Coccidia

    I took him off the coccidia medication when it started to give him progressively worse mushy stools. 2 days after stopping he is back to normal litter box deposits. They still wanted to treat him for asymptomatic coccidia but the treatment seems to make it worse so i'm still not sure i will...

    Coccidia

    I decided that having 2 sick or dead cats was not worth the risk. I got him tested at the vets today for fiv/felv at the cost of 80$(quess the quote was for both tests) He came back negative so i have peace of mind and can let him mingle with my resident cat this weekend

    Help with cat/ losing fur.

    I'd get to the vet asap. My parents cat had a similar injury where the tip of the tail got caught in a door and it removed a bit of skin and fur. The vet had to amputate about an inch of tail to prevent infection.

    Coccidia

    I know the shelter didn't test him. He was flea treated, dewormed and given fel-o-vax PCT. I checked with 2 vets in the area and neither of them recommended the test on a cat unless there was a valid reason too do so. I explained he was a shelter cat but that did not change the opinions given...

    Coccidia

    Is Felv something i should get him tested for? He seems healthy other than the coccidia, worms and dermatitis. This whole adoption opened up a huge can of worms, i was under the impression that initial vaccinations protected against a lot more than they acutally do. He's had limited face time...

    Coccidia

    The shelter here does not test for FIV, but given his young age and being an neutered indoor cat they said it was unlikely he would have FIV. I found out that a guy who had 10 cats brought 3(including Kujo) cat to the shelter but provided very little information about them. They were spayed and...

    Coccidia

    I can get the test done at a lab for 40$. I live on Ontario Canada so i guess these prices are about right. So far i have been able to catch him using the litter pan and clean it before he manages to bury it. He eats like a little piggy and drinks a ton of water first thing in the morning. His...

    Coccidia

    I think he is on TribrissenÂ174, they just used an abbreviation on the pill bottle. I am also thinking that he may already be on the road to recovery or is just a carrer, he was removed from a neglectful home with too many cats so that is likely were he picked it up. 2 days in the shelter would...

    Coccidia

    I would love to let them out together but i cant risk infecting both cats. I'm on a very limited income and i have read that many times it takes several doses of anti-biotics to get rid of it, between the meds and fecal exams it will cost 60$ each visit per cat. He is on Tmps not sure if that...

    Coccidia

    I picked up an adorable 1 year old red tabby from the local shelter 2 days ago as a companion animal for myself and my 8 year old torti. He has had his shoots and flea medication and show no signs of respiratory infection. He had worms initally but was given Drocit and my resident cat was given...
