    Mild cardiovascular disease

    I'm not sure whether I should post this in Cat Heath or Nutrition- but anyway here goes :) My pal has some fatty deposit buildup in his heart- it's quite mild at this point, but obviously I can't let it get any worse. His heart is otherwise healthy. Does anyone else here have a cat with similar...

    Mild/moderate exercise for somewhat senior cat

    I don't want to overwork my pal too much (he can be pretty sprightly, but lacks stamina), but for the sake of his health I've been advised to make him exercise more. I've tried the usual toss-a-ball-of-wadded-paper stuff, but was wondering if anyone has tips for giving him some lighter, more...

    Adjusting sleep schedule

    Cats being cats, this was always going to be an inevitable issue, but my pal recently has started taking most of his catnaps during the hours we're home from work, and is all ready to play and start the day at 2am. Any suggestions on helping with adjusting his sleeping schedule back?

    FirstMate canned food

    Is there anyone here who buys these for their cats? It seems a good brand in that it's BPA and carrageenan free. I know some people are concerned about the potatoes in there. It seems there's so much crap in pet food that I guess I'll just have to settle for the least of all the evils. What do...

    Working singles- leaving cat home alone

Do you let your pawed pal roam the house freely, or restrict him/her to the bedroom etc? How long do you typically leave your cats alone for- any particular pitfalls to avoid? How have...

    Sudden maniac episodes

    My pal is the sweetest, gentlest, and friendlies moggy you'll find. He's had a few episodes over the last week (they just started at the beginning of this week, so it's really recent behavior) that are a little disconcerting though- he'll suddenly start looking about in a panic- like something...

    Home-cooked meals?

    Hi guys, so far I've been feeding my pal a mixture of canned food and dry food. Am thinking of preferably switching him to a diet of home-cooked food, but am totally clueless in that area- what are the pros and cons of home-cooked food? Would it be all right to have a mixture of canned food, dry...

    Rapid, irregular breathing

    Hi guys, the sweetest moggy adopted me recently, and it's been a total blast hanging out with the little guy. He's a dream cat- but there's one thing that's been nagging at me, and that's his breathing. I notice that he has pretty frequent ( but short) episodes of rapid, irregular breathing...
