I have five cats and for the past few months, I've been noticing pee outside their litter boxes. Just recently I've noticed my two 6 year old males go into the litter box, squat to pee, but as they're peeing, they stand up and the pee squirts all over the wall behind the boxes or out in front of...

Wow, I never thought of it that way! Thank you so much for your insight. It's much appreciated!! And yes, he is an obnoxious brat! I do love the little weirdo!

I have five kitties. I posted here before about my one year old kitty, Jax, being a naughty boy, not being interested in playing with me, yet he has a ton of energy. He tries his best to play with my older cats, but he doesn't know when to leave them alone (he never learned about boundaries)...

He was a bottle baby. He was found in a truck engine block when he was about a month old. The shelter did a great job of socializing him with people, but not with other cats. They said he was really sick with an upper respiratory infection for months. They didn't mention it, but I'm pretty sure...

Thank you so much for the wealth of information!! When I get home, I will definitely be checking out all those links too. Jax is a weird cat. When we got him this past August, he had a bad ear infection and we don't think he hears so well now. Either that or he has extremely selective hearing...

Hi! We have a one year old kitty named Jackson. We also have 4 other kitties. Jackson is a ball of energy. He's unlike any cat I've ever owned. He scratches my furniture instead of his posts, he's not attracted to catnip, he chews on everything, he's jumping on everything and breaking things and...

1. Vet visit is now a definite. 2. He was never find of either one of them, but, yes, it's definitely gotten a lot worse. Before, he would just ignore them and keep his distance. Now, they just have to sit near him or walk by him and he goes nuts. There doesn't have to be provocation anymore...

Even if Theyve been together for four years? Will doing a reintroduction help? He is due for a well visit. I worry that there's something wrong with him for them to be treating him like this.

im lost as to what to do with my oldest male. He is 10 years old and has always been a scaredy cat. He's afraid of his own shadow. We have five cats ranging in the age of 4-10. Two females, three males. He's always kept his distance from and hiss at my 4 year old boys. Lately, it's gotten worse...

So, when we first brought Seamus home at 12 weeks old, he was pudgy. Even at 12 weeks, he had a tummy pooch. We figured that he would slim down as he got older, but just the opposite happened. He's almost a year old and he is grossly obese! He has this little head and a huge, fat body. You can...

Hello all. I had written not to long ago that my boy, Simon, was having issues. He had a UTI, then severe constipation, the vet found 2 calcified masses in his abdominal cavity and then his blood work was all over the place. Well, I took him to a different vet for a second opinion. This new vet...

I am furious and disgusted!! I just picked up Simon's records. His bloodwork shows that the has a high ALKP, CHOL, LIPA and HCT. He has a low MCHC (hemoglobin) and a VERY low platelet count! The doctors that he saw said nothing about this and on his records, it indicates that one of the vets...

I believe the vet told me that they did a Chem 17 in regards to the bloodwork.

Hi everyone. My cat, Simon, has been having a multitude of problems lately. He'll be 7 years old in May. It all started about a month ago with a severe UTI. The vet took x-rays to see if there was anything else going on and he found a strange mass in Simon's abdominal cavity that he believed was...

Hello everyone! My name is Nancy and I'm 31 years old. My husband and I are parents to 5 lovely kitties. I've always loved cats but I come from a "dog family". I was only allowed to get a cat when I turned 14 years old. I was suffering from major depression and my doctor told my mother that...

My boy, Simon, is slowly getting over a severe urinary tract infection. So, I know what you're going through. Much love to you and your kitty. Thank God you were able to notice the problem when you did. I feel we must always listen to our gut instinct when it comes to these things because they...

Oh no! Well, I am not an expert and I've never really had to take care of newborn kittens. BUT, sneezing and eyes that have thick discharge (not clear discharge) spells out upper respiratory infection to me. If I were in your situation, I would honestly call my veterinarian right away. Good luck...

Thank you ladies for your care and concern. You all bring up very valid points and I will try to address all of them now. I will consider dropping the kibble all together. For kibble, they all get Purina One Urinary Tract Health. For wet food, they were getting prescription Purina ST/OX but...

In September (2010) one of my youngest fur babies, Loki, ended up with ringworm. That turned into a long battle with three of our 5 cats that finally just ended in January. It was a complete and utter nightmare! About a month or so ago, my oldest male (he's 6) Simon, came down with a bad UTI. He...

I had the same problem with my kitties. It started back in September. We got one kitten from a friend and the other kitten from the shelter. The kitten from the shelter, Seamus, came to us with some scabs on his back. I figured they were just from playing too rough with his litter mates. Then...
