    Feline herpes

    My son who lives out of town adopted a cat a month or so ago. Not long after one of her eyes was noticeably drippy. He took her to the vet and was given Tobradex in drop form. Understandably he has had such difficulty giving the kitty these drops :mad:. For those of you with experience with this...

    Our Orange Tabby Turned 19 In Early June 2018

    We have had him since he was a kitten. He has been indoor/outdoor his whole life. He is the classic cranky cat who is completely fearless. But he seems to love his two friends, our almost 5 year old brown tabby (shown in my avatar) and our 4 year old Japanese Bobtail (shown in the picture).

    The Honest Kitchen?

    I like the idea of freeze dried food for our cats. We have much more experience with PRIMAL but  this past weekend I purchased for the first time an "Honest Kitchen" offering. http://www.thehonestkitchen.com/prowl Although it is grain free there does seem to be (too?) many vegetables (eg...

    FeLV for these 2 indoor cats with their vaccinated outdoor roommate?

    We have 1 indoor/outdoor cat and 2 indoor *only* cats. The one that goes outdoor gets the full panel of vaccinations ie Rabies, FVRCP and FeLeuk. The other 2 get all but the FeLeuk. But I do wonder if the 2 indoor kitties should also get FeLV. I am not concerned that they will escape into the...

    Bun and Creatinine high but not a lot of outward symptoms

    I took our 15.5 year old indoor outdoor cat to the clinic this past week as I wanted them to check out his teeth and gums carefully. I had noticed he seemed a bit sensitive to kibble while eating and I was thinking that maybe he had a sore tooth or something else not quite right dental related...

    And with the addition of this bobtail we are a family with 3 cats

    After waiting since January we finally were able to pick up a 4 month old black and white "Japanese Bobtail" kitten. She is incredibly petite. (Having very fine fur makes her seem smaller than one might expect). Our oldest is a 15 year old orange tabby and the other is a 14 month old classic...

    We are getting a 4 month old "Japanese Bobtail" in a couple of weeks. She will come having had all shots + spaying (with documentation of such work).
