To make a long story short-I adopted a rescue cat over 4 years ago. Her papers said she was in good health but there was an abnormality noted that was not included with the papers.  I found out at her first annual that this was her gum inflamation and bad teeth. The vet told me to give her...

I adopted my cat 3 years ago and she had a clean bill of health. At her last two vet visits she got her bloodwork and shots for under $175 (in NYC). I had to take her to a new vet for her annual because we switched neighborhoods and I wanted something closer. So aside from hating the bedside...

My cat is now 4 and has been very healthy. On Tues night we found vomit on the couch when we got home. It was a small amount and she didn't vomit again. Last night I noticed she was having very runny bowels and kept going to the litter box every half hour. Today it has slowed down but still an...

We had fun on this one! 

My cat has only thrown up once in her life so far (she's almost 4) This week we switched her wet food from Fancy Feast to Sheba because she had a can once before and loved it. This morning after eating her breakfast she threw up a huge amount, then threw up again after eating it for dinner in a...

I came home to a giant pile of cat barf/fur on my new rug. She is almost 4 and has never thrown up before or had a fur ball! I felt bad I wasn't home because the poor girl was probably freaked out. I'm a little worried even though I know cats barf and it's ok. Her dry food was unchewed which...

Since I adopted my cat a few years ago she always seems to be shaking her head and getting runny eyes off and on. I have taken her to two different vet's, and had bloodwork done on her to make sure she is ok.  The last vet said her ears look great, she has no mites or fleas (Indoor cat) and...

My cat had an issue a few months back that required an urgent vet visit. When I contacted her vet who does at home visits asking for an emergency/urgent appt, which I was happy to pay the extra fee for, I got no response by email.  The next day her secretary calls and tells me her next opening...

I have a close friend who moved to NYC about a year ago with two cats. We have been to visit and the cats had typically seemed ok, but the large boy kitty was very ready to attack guests all of the time.  I agreed to pet sit the two kitties while they are on vacation for two weeks. I was a...

I have only been a cat Mom for two years and our first vet visit a year ago was in home which with a rabies shot was $125 total which I thought was a great deal. (I'm in NYC)  Coco started having goopy swollen red eyes Monday night and the home visit vet couldn't get her in until Sat. so I had...

Hey all! I came home last night to find my Coco with one eye closed. It is puffy around her eyelid and was running like crazy. I tried a damp cloth to clean it and she's opening it much more today but both inner eyelids are very pink. Any suggestions of what this could be? I will probably get...

My cat is almost 3 and it's my second spring season with her. I noticed that in the past week her fur has been shedding more than ever. I'm brushing her daily but is this normal after the Winter season? She is a black cat and she also is getting lot's of dandruff with the brushing.  Oddly...

So at my cats annual exam about six months ago I told the vet that she was scratching at her ears and shaking her head often. She is an indoor cat who is not exposed to other animals.  The vet checked her ears and saw no sign of ears mites.  A few months later we dealt with a rodent mite issue...

When my adopted cat was ready for her 1st yearly exam, I found a very highly rated vet online who only makes home visits for $100. I thought that was great so I wouldn't have to scare my girl so much in a rental car trip or on the subway (i'm in NYC!)  The home visit was probably just as...

We started giving her Temptations treats right after i adopted her and pretty soon she started sitting in the kitchen just starting at the shelf they come from meow/whining as loud as she could.  She does this ALL OF THE TIME! Even right after we give her wet food in addition to her dry food...

About four months back we went through a nightmare in my old apt. My landlord had gutted the apt under us causing a rodent mite infestation from mice in the walls coming upstairs.  My cat was the first to see the staring at the walls, and when we finally looked with a magnifying glass we could...

Hi! I'm new here, a cat Mom for over a year. My rescue baby is Coco Chanel (AKA Coco Puff)  a 2 1/2 tuxedo and the love of my life :)  I thought this would be a good place to come with questions and to meet other cat lovers since everyone is sick of seeing all of my cat photos on FB lol ...
