I keep worrying because Kinsey (female 3yrs old, spayed, otherwise healthy and acts fine) eats a lot and is really skinny. The vet kept saying oh she's fine, but I was just worried so I had her blood tested--I thought maybe thyroid problems. Her thyroid was fine, but there were a few tests...

Okay, I wrote about this cat already, but I still don't know for sure if it's feral, stray, or just someone's cat. It's an orange cat that is not skinny at all. I've been leaving out food for it and made a little shelter out of a carrier and some shredded newspaper (covered with towels), but...

I can't really tell, but I think Mosley is swollen between her shoulders. I noticed this a few days ago but wasn't sure. Then I could really easily feel the microchip and became concerned. I posted on another thread that it might be because she was microchipped about 2 months ago (because the...

Kinsey has now had her anal glands expressed twice in like 8 months and I can smell it again. she's two, spayed, eats natural balance, is otherwise healthy, etc. My question is the last time we were at the vet she wanted to put Kinsey on antibiotics in case it was some kind of infection, but...

My cats are not eating very much of their dry food since I added linatone to it. It doesn't smell like meat or fish or anything so do you think I got a bad bottle or something? They'll eat it if I put it in their canned food, but I need to put the hairball stuff in there so it seems like a lot...

Kinsey just yawned and I noticed a small black bump on her gums below her bottom teeth. I tried to search for this but only found one similar where Hissy said that two black bumps on each side is normal, but is this the same thing do you think? If so, what is it? I've never noticed it before...

I know this has been discussed, but I can't find anything that helps. Kinsey is shedding so bad that I can't keep up with it. We live in Michigan, so it's definitely not the weather. It seemed to start after I changed them from Natural Balance to Innova so I switched back over a month ago...

Hi! I've been using this site for months now, but realized I haven't introduced myself. I'm Lauren (22, live in Michigan) and I have two cats (one from a rescue and one from the humane society). They were both adopted as adults and I could not have made a better choice about that! They are...

I posted a thread a while ago, and I'm hoping someone will know the answer. Kinsey is 2 years old, spayed and had her anal glands expressed about 2 months ago. Now I can smell the same odor from her occasionally and am wondering what's up. Do some cats need their glands expressed regularly...

The vet expressed Kinsey's anal glands about 2 months ago and just today when she brushed up against me her bottom felt wet and it was the same smell as the anal gland problems. My question is how often do they need these glands expressed? I know it's probably different for every cat, but was...

A few times I have found some poop in really random places like a little piece on my couch, two pieces near the litter box, a piece on boyfriend's foot (yeah, that didn't go over very well!!) and I'm wondering if this happens to anyone else. I don't think either of the cats are doing it on...

both of my cats usually devour their food when I put it in their bowls, but now they seem to be eating less. They will go and eat very frequently, but not as much at once like they used to. This just happened one night when I put a little extra food in their bowls in the hopes they wouldn't...

Kinsey has started getting some brown crusty stuff in the corner of one of her eyes lately and I'm wondering if that is normal or not. I haven't noticed any other things wrong with her. Also, Mosley sometimes breathes like she has a little bit of a stuffy nose. It's very mild and only very...

I had to take Mosley back to the vet on Saturday b/c she stopped eating again. They changed antibiotics and gave her more fluids. They taught me how to give them to her myself in case she still isn't eating by Monday since I wouldn't be able to bring her in. Has anyone done this before? If...

I forgot to mention that the vet today also said that Mosley must have been pregnant when she was spayed since the incision is so large. Can they do that without telling me? Shouldn't I have had to option to keep the kittens if this was what happened? I'm very upset with the humane society...

I'm new here (well new to being a member!) and have some concerns about my new cat. I have a 2 year old (I think) female (Kinsey) that I got from a rescue group and I just adopted another 2 year old (Mosley) from the humane society last Friday. Mosley started showing signs of a URI on MOnday...
