    Help! Sudden onset cough and wheeze

    Hello all, I haven't been here in a while. I used to post a lot about my boy kitty Jasper, who was a marker. Well, right now all that is under control, but yesterday began a nightmare. Jasper, right now, after seeing 3 vets since last night, ( to the tune of $700) is here coughing and...

    Kneading - normal or not?

    Hello Everyone, I've posted here in the past about my boy cat Jasper. We were having a horrible time with him marking everything and everywhere. We've moved. And since then the marking has almost stopped. Almost. He marks now only when the cat across the street comes up on the porch. But that's...

    Busprion and nausea

    We have tried so many things to get Jasper to stop marking. The latest being Busprion. He's been on it for five weeks. I started him out on half the dose just to make sure he was going to be able to tolerate it. In the past week or so I have noticed that Jasper's depth perception is off. He has...

    My cat is keeps walking backwards. Any idea why?

    Hey there, My boy kitty Jasper has started to walk backwards about a week ago. It only last a minute or so and then he seems to get his bearings. It doesn't look like he's doing it on purpose but of course I really don't know. The other thing I have noticed is that when he is sleeping his body...

    Good News, Bad News - update on Jasper

    Well, I feel like I have lost a battle, and a battle it certainly was. After all this time I have conceded and am allowing Jasper to be out once a day. He's out for about an hour or so. I don't feed him before he goes so he won't stay out there, although he has never stayed out for very long...

    How do you clean your kitties ears?

    My Tess seems to always be having ear issues. Ever since we got her there has been one problem after another with her ears. The first month we had her we thought she was deaf. So did the vet. Turned out she had mites so bad it affected her hearing. Her ears are always, always dirty. I got some...

    Tess has no energy - sleeping a lot more.

    I suppose a trip to the vet is in order. My girl Tess is not acting right. She is sleeping a lot more than usual, doesn't seem interested in play time like she normally is and just seems overall kind of sad. Lack of interest or is something really wrong? I changed her over to a no grain dry...

    Update on Jasper & spraying issue

    Since things have changed a little I figured I would post an update. It's kind of hard to tell what's working here but the amount of marking has reduce by 90%. I'm still giving Jasper the Prozac but have reduced the dose my half. Someone told me to give the med two full months so I'm going to...

    Taking Jasper off the Prozac-not working.

    It's been one month today. Maybe I haven't given it enough time, I don't know. Everything I have read leads me to believe it should have started working by now. In the meantime, Jasper just doesn't "look" that great to me. And I have a feeling he is sick to his stomach. I can't stand the thought...

    I can't take much more of this......

    Jasper went on a peeing spree early this morning. I can't figure out why he does this when he does it. It was everywhere, in every room. On the bed, on the walls, on the doors, the furniture, just everywhere. The past few days were not that bad. He hit the usual place a couple of times, but...

    An intro

    Hello everyone, I posted on the forum about an issue I am having with my problem child Jasper. Jasper is 5. I have had him for just about 4 years now. He was found on the street by my son. He has always been a bit on the hyper side and was always an indoor/outdoor kitty. I tried keeping him in...

    Anyone have any luck with Prozac for marking?

    Hello Everyone, Jasper is 5 years old. He's always been an indoor/outdoor cat. About six weeks ago he got into a bad fight with a new neighbor cat. He was hurt really bad, with vet bills over $600. Since that time I have been keeping him inside, much to his dismay. He started marking all over...
