It may sound funny, but I'm a little worried about my kitty's bad breath. I notice it when she yawns and even while she's licking herself there's kind of an odor and then the odor gets on her coat from her mouth/saliva. Otherwise, she's fine, great appetite and weight, no trouble eating, no...
My new kitty peed on a pile of clothing in a back room a while ago - just dealing with it now. She doesn't do that anymore, but just wondering what's the best way to wash the clothing? Should I buy some type of extra-strong laundry detergent or add a little CLorox to the water? They are old...
I accidentally spilled a little melted (cooled) butter on my cat's back last night.. Today, the vet said to get some Dawn (which they put on birds to get oil off) at the store, but when I went, all they had was Dawn Ultra and stuff with heavy fragrance, no plain Dawn, so I got something else...
Can someone please help with how to give a cat subq fluids by yourself? I was trained at the vet's, but my kitty just jumps and runs when I put the needle in at home.. She's not eating the last couple days much and am desperate now. How do you keep them still to do it alone? I have no one to...

I'm just wondering if anybody's tried this... My kitty has chronic kidney disease and throws up a lot, and I have trouble sometimes getting even small pieces of Pepcid tablet into her (must taste very bitter), so thinking of getting the suspension and just putting a drop or two in her food...
I was just wondering if catnip might help a cat with chronic kidney disease who has nausea and poor appetite? Her appetite has been a lot better since starting on Pepcid, but today she has no interest in food for some reason, so I'm worried. Was thinking maybe the minty nature of catnip might...
I'm finding a small lake on my (tile) bathroom floor lately.. There haven't been any changes to her routine or changes in her health. Appetite is good. I tried getting her a new box and keeping everything very clean, but hasn't helped. Anything I can do to discourage this behavior? Thanks!
Hi All,
My 17-year-old kitty, Gwen (Gueneviere), has very little appetite now, even for her formerly favorite foods, salmon and tuna. The problem started a few weeks ago with diarrhea (very light-colored, loose stool), so I brought her to the vet, and he did x-rays and blood tests, which...
