I didn't know how bad Loki's gingivitis got until the vet had him under for some skin biopsies. She found 2-3 teeth that need to be extracted and one has the root exposed. I'm assuming this is quite painful. Should I get this surgery ASAP? It's $400-600 depending on how many teeth need to be...

I've waffled (mmm waffles) back and forth about feeding raw with my cats. I love that it's natural and once I found out about commercial raw I was even more intrigued. I totally believe in the benefits. The biggest thing stopping me right now is my fear of bacteria. I'm not afraid for the cats...

Freya aka Brat Face is the little kitten that showed up in my bbq 5 weeks ago. She's growing into a smart little hellion. Working on teaching her to play nicely with others. She's about 11weeks old now (maybe more?) Freya and Loki...He's a good momma cat lol! Freya vs the Flu...

Hi Pam, I recently acquired a little torti kitten. She showed up in our bbq one night and the rest is history. She's currently somewhere between 11-12 weeks old. We found her around 5-6 weeks. She's a smart little thing but she seems to lack respect/manners. I have 2 other cats, a male and...

Hi all. I'm looking for a bit of guidance about my cat's skin issues before I call the vet and bring him in yet again. My 2 year old male cat Loki has had ongoing skin issues. We're getting close to a year of dealing with this. Initially the vet thought it was a food allergy cause his ears had...

I've had my kitten for a week now and she's really settling in. The other 2 cats aren't overly impressed. Anyway I have a problem with her peeing on soft things like her towel and the bed. I've used an enzyme cleaner on the duvet and it hasn't soaked through to the mattress or anything cause I...

On Monday night my bf heard some meowing outside and after a whole bunch of searching we found a baby kitty behind the propane tank of our bbq. I managed to catch her before she darted away and tossed her screaming and scratching into the house. Brought her to the vet the next day and she got a...

How do you guys keep the cat hair at bay? I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with all laminate floors. 2 short haired felines and a lot of dark furniture. I vacuum twice a week and still...hair everywhere! I know regular brushing might help. Anyone have some useful fur-busting tips for me? (Kindof...

So I'm going away for a few days around Christmas. It ends up being 6 days in total and I'm not sure what to do about my cats. Both were being fed purely wet food 3 times/day and I realized this isn't going to work for a pet sitter. Now I'm transitioning them back to dry so that the person can...

I have an odd question. Isis (3y/o, F calico) waddles. She is no longer really overweight and the vet said she only had about 1lb more to lose to be at an ideal weight. If you watch her walk from behind though...she waddles. It kinda looks like she's got something up her bum...like if you where...

So Loki got back from the vet and although it was not the reason for his admission the vet suspects food allergies because Loki has been scratching his ears. I'm trying to think back when this really started and it was a few days after Isis got here. He has always been an avid groomer though and...

My poor little guy isn't doing very well. This morning he threw up his dinner from the night before...wasn't digested. He also pooped on the mat next to the vomit. He looked really embarrassed and tried to cover it up. He has no interest in food. Drinking lots of water and while I was at work he...

So I was playing with da bird tonight with my cats and stopped for a couple mins to clean the litter boxes. I put it up high on some boxes cause I didn't think they could get up there. I turned around and both cats were trying to get up so I quickly put the scoop away and when I looked back Isis...

This cat is evil or something...got home today and she murdered my 3 year old betta fish!!! Water all over and dessicated fishy nearby The face of innocence? I think not! Don't be fooled by her cuteness...she's always getting into some sort of trouble! Loki has the best innocent face...

Ok...I have no idea what to do but I'm pretty sure one of my cats has worms. I just don't know which one Isis went to the vet yesterday and I noticed the first worm this morning in her litter box. She was dewormed I think. Would that make them come out? Loki also has an obsession with using...

So I brought Miss Isis into the vet today for her shots/check up etc. The vet was soooooo nice. She's a new grad like me and just an all around nice girl. Isis seemed to like her too. (Honestly thought she would need to be sedated but she was amazing!) Anyway we got talking about food. And I...

So Isis has been with me for a few days now. She has calmed down a bit since my last post about her but she's still really hissy. I don't like her. I have tried. I thought I was ok with her but I just don't like her. I don't know what to do about it ! She's my bf's "princess" he worships the...

My bf moved in this weekend. Well his stuff did anyway. Isis (his cat) was really upset about the whole situation. Before we even moved she peed on the bed 3 times and on my bf's bag once. This isn't new behaviour and seems to do it when she's angry/stressed. Now she's at my place and is really...

So for the last 3+ weeks I've been slowly switching Loki over to wet food. It was going great and he was always ready to scarf down his meals. For the last 2 days this has stopped!!! He's still eating it but I think he wants dry food. He currently gets 1/8 cup blue buffalo dry in one of those...

Just looking for people's opinions here. I can't get a new kitty for awhile but I've been waffling back and forth about whether I want a kitten or a cat. I'm pretty sure I want a rescue cat although I LOVE maine coons, forest cats and ragdolls. I think I'd feel too guilty getting one. Anyway I...
