When Mac left us last week I started spoiling Mia because I knew she missed him as much as I did. Three days in a row I gave her 1/2 can of Friskies canned food each morning as well as she had dry to munch on during the day. After that I planned on giving it to her as a treat occasionally as I...
Mac just went to his new forever home. I was told by my apt manager that I needed to find a new home for one of my cats or I had to move. I saved Mac 6 months ago from a horrible situation. I knew I was only allowed one cat but He needed me and I couldnt not help him. I had him nuetered, he has...
Has anyone noticed that a few months ago Fresh Step changed their litter from a fine litter to one with carbon fighting odor things in it. Its not a fine litter anymore so I dont think it clumps nearly as good as it did. The scoops fall apart more and leace bits in the litter box so it needs a...
I knew Mia had lost some weight but I never realized how much. The beginning of summer she weighed 12.1lb and as of tonight she is 9.8lbs. Shes lost a total of 2.3lbs in5 months.Before I got Mac (June 30th) she was eating Max Cat and did well on it. Then when Mac came I didnt have much money...
Mac is scheduled Monday to be nuetered. He will be 6 months old the middle of November. All of a sudden, the last couple of days, he has been acting different than usual. By different I mean he is sniffing eveerything in the apartment over and over again. I'm worried he might start marking. He...

I decided to go with Frontline Plus for Dogs for my cats (my vet told me what to dose them, talk to your vet first if you want to do this). I went to Pet Supplies Plus first to check prices as they were having a 20% off sale this month. What I had got at Wal-Mart for $39 was $58 there on sale...
I found fleas on both cats yesterday. Totally indoor cats. I was petting Mac and saw something move in his eyebrow. I checked all over him but couldnt see anything (hes black with light gray underneath). So I checked Mia, starting in the same place (her eyebrow area). I saw movement again. It...
Mia (16months) and Mac (4 months) both have tested positive for giardia.The vet gave them flagyl to take once a day, 25mg for 10 days... I have no idea how they got it. The only thing I can think of is we had a boil order several weeks ago that I missed (we live in a very rural community). They...
I'm going to Pet Supplies Plus today. Its 50 miles away so I would like some advice before I head out late this afternoon, please. Mia (5mths old) has been on 4 differant types of food sence I got her at 7 weeks old. She was on SD when I got her and she had diareah and hated it. She went on...
She had to abstain from food and water srating Midnight Sunday. Surgery was yesterday. She has eaten a little this morning but has drank nothing (usually she drinks a lot). She hasny used the litter box either. I'm starting to really worry about her. She's sleeping alot but is up on and of...
I started out with a vet that charged $30 for an exam and paid an additional $22 for a feline lukemia shot. He treated Mia roughly I thought. I really didnt like him.
My daughters dog recently was bitten by a wolf hybrid. We took him to a differant vet. We had to drive 25 miles but it was well...

I am not new to cats. I have had them all my life but 2 years ago I...
