I just returned from Miami so I haven't been able to respond to the plethora of wonderful posts and suggestions. Thank you all for providing these recommendations and for providing me with the doctors' names for the Animal Medical Center in NYC. I hadn't realized that this hospital was...

Hi again G Stein: My vet said that diarrhea is relatively common in cats and not something to be overly concerned about. He told me that he is almost positive that Jesse has IBS and that I have the option of having him undergo a ultrasound of the stomach area to confirm the diagnosis. Plus...

Hi G Stein: I read your post and suspect that my cat has IBS. He tested negative for parasites, but will put him on Albon and Flagyl just in case (especially after reading this post). Did your cat suffer from very foul smelling stool - and I mean horrific, as well as occassional bouts of...

I will heed your advice and take him to the vet tomorrow. In case it's not coccidia or any other parasite, can you or any other forum member recommend an internal medicine feline specialist in the New York/New Jersey area that is somewhat in proximity to Staten Island, NY? I did suspect...

My cat who is approximately five years old, and who appears to be in great health - appetite, energy etc. is good, has had daily bouts of extremely foul stool - at times loose, as well as blood in the stool. Most of the time, there is a small amount of blood around his rectum and not in the...

Becky, I spoke with the vet and she told me to keep him on the antibiotics for another week due to his sporadic schedule of eating the food. Thanks for your suggestions. Also, dawn of sierra thank you for keeping my cat in your prayers. Susan

I posted a similiar thread last night, but I don't know what happened to it, so let me apologize in advance if this is a duplicated post. If anyone knows of a local rescue group or no-kill shelter in the Stanhope, New Jersey (Sussex county) area, please let me know asap. A friend of mine...

Please pray for my little boy - that his wound will heal quickly and completely and second, that I can safely catch him and give him a loving home for the rest of his happy life as an indoor cat. Susan aka Jesse's Mom

This is my belief as well. It also explains why I have four males and only one female. Although, my female (my cat, not the foster one that wants to attack me viciously) is extremely affectionate and loving, but then again she's been with me since she was a kitten. Every night she literally...

I agree, I've gotten so much helpful advice on this forum. Several people have had tremendous success with lining the bottom of the trap with kitty litter, so I'll be using that method once my guy gets used to eating near the trap itself. Spotz, thank you for your help with regard to my...

You have been so helpful to me in the past, and now I'm so happy I have the opportunity to congratulate you on a job well done! You've earned the title of Sir Trapper Charles in my book. Well anyway, best of luck to you with your pregnant cat as well as Sampson. Just don't call the female...

Trapper Charles, I read your post and I will heed your advice, although I am praying that it won't happen to my husband again (I don't think he would ever forgive me). Well, the good news is that although my guy comes sporadically, he's around enough throughout the day that I feel pretty...

Becky, I read with great interest your wonderful story of Buddy, which in all honesty brought me so much happiness, as well as sadness. The happy emotions are very obvious to understand, but the reason why I felt so sad after reading this story is that I have a very similiar situation that I...

By the way Trapper Charles, you have a Caesar and I have a Napolean living with me. It's a good thing those two power-hungry minds aren't in the same quarters.

I will try the litter in the trap method too. Heck, at this point, I'd line the trap with gold if that would guarantee success. During our first attempt of trapping this cat, we acidentally caught a racoon who was not very happy about the situation. Although I was very concerned for my...

Thank you all for your sage advice. I've never heard of the drop trap before today. Plus, the idea of feeding him for a few weeks in front of the trap sounds like a great plan. It took a lot of coaxing and time before he felt comfortable enough to eat at the top of the backsteps of my yard...

Hello feline lovers alike. I am new to the forum and I must say that I feel like I have joined an elite society of kind, well-informed animal lovers. I have read the story of Lucky (truly inspiring) and I wanted to consult with all of you cat experts regarding my current feral cat dilemma...
