If he does it again I will most definitely be taking him in to check on what is going on. I don't want to go through this again. If he continues I'll know something is up and he needs some help. Trisha

She is extremely picky about her litter and box. We have tried a few different kinds and she absolutely refuses most. We have had to just use a rubbermaid container like in the video that has the lowest edge (high sides and she won't step over - she'll just pee next to the box), and the box...

She has been reading up on all the information that has been given and educating herself on things, so thank you all for the information you have shared. VERY helpful! She was unaware of the wet food and is wanting to try it out with him to see how it goes! He IS on thyroid meds, so that...

Any recommendations on a good organic cat treat? Looking for ideas for ones I might buy.  I am assuming I"ll probably have to special order online from a small business or specialty shop. Any recommendations on names of GOOD organic treats and WHY? I am more interested in knowing your WHY for...

Thanks for the advice. I'll let my husband know. I know for a few days there when we first got her appetite stimulated again she was a PIG. She would cry and beg every time you walked through the bedroom and practically trip you getting under your feet and walking between your legs crying trying...

We have been using the Nature's Best litter, according to my husband. We have tried a few others, but he likes Nature's Best the most. She tends to pee on the side of the box, often times missing the box entirely and peeing right over the edge, down the side, and all over the floor - leaving one...

I actually did not take him in. He has been fine since and hasn't reinjured it again. I have been watching him closely and he has been in an out often. He has been jumping from the piano and cat climber, from the top of the baby crib and my desk, from the kids' bunk bed (top bunk)... and so far...

Great information and thread to follow! Thank you for sharing this. I am going to be following this to see how it goes. My mom has an overweight cat and hasn't had success in helping him lose. She tried to cut back his food as per the vet's directions, but it didn't work.  I sent her the link to...

After he had been in awhile (I thought of the paw being colder from being outside, too, as it was quite chilly out), I snuggled and messed with his feet. No temp differences between his four. I couldn't feel any abnormalities between the four. Still not sure what he is doing. Trisha

We have been feeding her two cans of fancy feast mixed with some softer cat food each day, one in the morning and one mid-afternoon, in the back bathroom. When we went through the bad run with her where she became so severely dehydrated she stopped eating, too, and lost a lot of weight. She had...

Thanks for the link to the site. I will definitely be reading it and passing it along to her! She was originally giving him a spoonful of wet food in the morning and leaving just a small bowl of dry food out for him to graze on throughout the day, but when his weight began to go up she thought...

I'll have to grab him when he comes back inside from going out with my husband this morning. What would a difference in temperatures indicate? Just curious while I wait for him to wander back. He usually comes to the back door about this time each morning from his first run around the...

My mom's cat is HUGE. He is a 23lb fluff ball with a weight problem. She has taken him to the vet to try to find out what to do to get it under control and the vet has done tests and determined he has a thyroid problem. They told her to cut back his food and try to increase his activity, but she...

I have a male cat who seems to be determined to walk with a limp no matter what I do. Not sure how to prevent it. He is an indoor/outdoor brown tabby, who is the "guardian" of the neighborhood (or so he thinks).  He has to make his rounds to secure the area, then returns to nap a little while...

My husband's cat is an older female who has always been sensitive to foods. He has had trouble with her since she was a kitten. She has always struggled with hairballs, though she is shorthaired, and has a tendency to vomit easily if she overeats or gets upset. She is 15 years old and has had...

Just want some honest input on this. I am torn. Is litter deodorizer good or bad for cats? I have two cats, two litter boxes, and they can leave some very nasty smells behind. I scoop it daily, sometimes a few times per day. My husband buys some of the pricier litter (can't think of the brand...
