Hi all! It's been awhile. Naku just had to have 8 teeth extracted yesterday, found out he has Stage 2 Periodontal disease (according to all notes). He made it thru surgery just fine, but now that he has been home 24 hours, I noticed he doesn't really sleep. His appetite is perfect. Hydration...

Naku is losing fur on his ears! Since I got back home from my holiday trip home (both cats took the 8 hour ride with me), Naku has been a bit more itchy around his ears to the point he is losing fur now on his ear! Right now, he just has a little circle patch of hair loss on the right ear...

Hi All - It's been awhile! I have a flea question this time around.. My cats are treated with Revolution (their last treatment was about 3-4 weeks ago?), but I just had a flea on me while at a friends house! I come over here pretty frequently and bring bags back and forth with clothing and what...

Hi Everyone! It has been, what feels like a million years since I posted, but I'm back and of course, have a question. Before I ask though, I wanted to give a quick background. Without getting into too much detail, I am now on one income in my household and having to do everything myself...

Esme and Naku got spoiled this Christmas and got a brand new drinking fountain for Christmas! I think I was more excited than them, because I am pretty sure they haven't used it yet. This is the fountain they have: http://amzn.com/B000L3XYZ4 I have had it setup for a little under a week and it...

Over the past maybe.. 2 or 3 weeks.. we have noticed Esme having, what looks like hairball motions, but no hairball. When they were at the vet the other day, the vet said they were in good health. We brought up Esme's breathing issue too. Every since we adopted her about a year and a half ago...

Esme and Naku had their vet visit today with a brand new vet and overall, it went well. They are also raw food supporters, so we got kudos for that. Esme was healthy all around and Naku was, mostly. When they looked at Naku's teeth, they said he had gingivitis for sure and he has "super erupted...

I am looking to get my cats into holistic vets mainly because they will be on a raw diet. For 2 cats to visit, I guess an hour consultation, is $332. I was just wondering how much everyone pays, if you go to holistic Vet? The same office also has standard vets, so I'm just torn right now.

*Phew -- I think I might be a little bit cross-eyed at the moment from all of the raw reading, but I think I am finally reading ready. I have been lurking the raw section of the forums on and off for month, due to Naku's gastrointestinal issues. We think he may have IBD (he, in a nutshell, I...

Hi everyone! I ordered some food online, not thinking about the heat and delivery time. The delivery was late afternoon and we aren't able to bring it in until tonight . It's in the shade and everything but does anyone know what storage guidelines are for canned food, like if it goes bad? I...

I don't have this issue at the moment but figured I would ask your input on Esme. Every so often, I would say, a couple of months, Esme will limp or occasionally lift her paw. When we noticed it, we would give her Cosequin and it would clear up in about two or three days. We haven't asked...

Poor Naku is in need of some vibes. Over the past few months (really, since about a month after we adopted him), we have been on a rollercoaster with Naku and his vomiting. To sum it up, here is what has happened: - Week before/of Christmas, Naku had a real bad bout of diarrhea, then it...

Hey everyone! I have another nutrition question... Does your cat eat bread? Or have they ever? Starting last week, I brought home some rolls from the bakery and when I put the bags down and stepped away for a few minutes, I came into the room with the bag of rolls torn open and Naku chomping...

It has taken a couple months but it seems we have gotten Naku's vomiting under control (for the most part). Naku is fed wet in the AM and dry in PM, but his dry food (the only one I have been able to find so far), is TOTW River Canyon River Feline Formula and the main protein is fish based...

Does anyone have experience with cat food allergies and possibly any tips? I posted about our cat, Naku, here: http://www.thecatsite.com/t/240052/vibes-needed-for-naku and the issues we have been having throughout the week. I am now thinking that he could possibly be having food allergies of...

Happy New Year! Naku is in much needed of some vibes this year Starting on Christmas Day, we noticed that he started having diarrhea, but it wasn't too terribly bad, so we made sure he was drinking and eating his wet food until we could get him to the vet. Unfortunately, with the holidays and...

Hi Everyone! Does anyone shave their cats themselves? I would like to get feedback and tips, if anyone has given their kitties a sanitary clipping. I typically take Esme to the groomer, but one place doesn't know when their cat groomer will be back, Petco wants $50 (outrageous IMO), and the...

Hi! I joined the forums about a week or so ago and just wanted to introduce the new guy to our family. We did have our other kitty, Shumba, who we adopted from the local animal shelter, but unfortunately, he was a bully and even after time working with him and our girl, it just didn't work out...

So... this is my big sister Esme, who is a PRINCESS... and... I have only been here 5 days and she already has me working!!!

Hi Everyone! Our new kitty, who we have had a little less than a week, has probably got the most potent poo and urine I have smelt in a while (some at the shelter were pretty yucky too, lol) Well anyways, we are in the process of switching his dry food from Dad's (what the shelter feeds) to...
