I have a cat, five year old girl, who I adore. She's very attached to me, we snuggle together every night, etc. There's a cat nearby whose owner is giving him up due to a move to a place that doesn't allow pets (I really think that's a lame excuse by the way). He's two years old, sounds like...

My 4-year-old medium-haired cat has hairball issues. She throws up a hairball at least a couple of times a week. She already takes two Vet's Best Hairball Relief pills daily (total of 100mg psyllium husk, 50mg marshmallow root, 50mg slippery elm bark), and these reduce but do not eliminate her...

My cat, Miss Chloe, came along with me when I visited family at my aunt's house for the holidays. She's 1.5 years old, extremely playful, an alpha personality, not a lot of experience with other cats. My aunt's cat, Willy, is a year old, pretty chilled out but still playful, can be skittish, no...

I have an old comforter on one side of my sectional couch that is the cat's play zone. She gets it all balled up and then hunts her wand toys through all the nooks and crannies. It's getting really ratty-looking, not that SHE minds :) But I'm wondering if anyone's found a material, or a...

I have a few questions about starting my cat on raw. As a kitten, she was extremely picky and refused to eat it, along with 90% of the other foods I tried to tempt her with. Now she's 18 months, and she has become a better eater, but she's still not the kind of cat who will gobble her meal...

My 14-month-old cat has very stinky poop and sometimes seems to strain to get it out. I'm considering adding a probiotic to her diet, but there are so many out there that it's hard to choose. Any suggestions? (Note: I'm not interested in probiotic products intended for humans.)

My little girl Miss Chloe just turned one year old, and she's developed an obsession with reflective surfaces and screens. She'll scratch at mirrors, the fake glass fireplace, even the oven door. The worst are the TV and the laptop. She scratches at the TV whenever it's on and sometimes when...

I have an eight month old female kitten who I adopted a few months ago. She was the last of her litter, and she's the only cat I have at the moment. I love her to bits :) I am considering getting a second cat because I'm gone during work hours and I wonder if she might benefit from a friend...

I'm traveling across the country by plane to my aunt's place for Christmas. I plan to stay about two weeks. Getting a pet sitter for that amount of time is exorbitant because it's Christmas, and anyone I would trust to look after my kitten is away on holidays themselves. My aunt is fine with me...

I got a kitten from a cat rescue organization two weeks ago. She's had mild cold symptoms since I got her. I took her to the vet shortly after I got her, and she was diagnosed with conjunctivitis and an "upper respiratory infection", but her lungs were clear so they didn't prescribe antibiotics...

My laptop is my 5-month-old kitten's favorite toy. She loves to bat at the screen and type. I can't even sign in to my email without resorting to tricks to get her away! I've lifted her off my keyboard 50 times in the last half-hour, seriously! She is not getting it, or the laptop is just too...

I got a kitten yesterday :) She is 3.5 lbs at 5 months old, which seems small for her age, but she's active and eating. She was eating Performatrin before I got her, so I got a bag of that, plus some cans, but it doesn't seem like the healthiest brand ever. What canned food should I switch her to?

My cat Duchess passed away last Monday. She was 11 years old, so people keep saying "at least she had a good long life", but it didn't feel long enough to me. We got her from an adoption event when she was just a 2-month-old baby, and she was really the cutest kitten I've ever seen. She was...

My 11-year-old cat was diagnosed with feline leukemia last week. (I have no idea how she got it. She's an indoor cat, hasn't lived with other cats for 4 years). She is anemic. Red blood cell count was 14 on Monday when she was checked in to the vet, dropped to 11 that afternoon, then she got a...
