    Lung cancer

    Hi all. My cat is 16. She was diagnosed with lung cancer yesterday. It has spread to both lungs. There's an antibiotic that we can give her to help ease her pain, and prednosone pills to help with her breathing. My husband and I differ on this. I think we should put her to sleep before she's...

    Is my cat peeing on the carpet????

    I'm not sure. But I suspected. I have kids too so they might have spilled something. So there is a wet spot on the carpet, I cleaned it up last night, and this morning instead of being dryer, the wet spot seemed to have spread (like there is another wet spot right beside the first one). I'm...

    Litter box: open or closed?

    We have an open litter box, and I want to add another litter box but I'm thinking about one with a lid to prevent litter mess. Any opinion about this? I heard cats don't like closed litter box because it can be smelly in there? Also, do you change your litter box after so many years? We have...
