    Flying With A Big Boy

    We have lots of time to prepare, but it is official that we are making a cross country move. Our boy, Howie, is a big boy. 20lbs of big boy... Its not just that he is fat (he is fat), but he's also long and tall. The vet says his ideal weight would be around 15 or 16lbs. Anyways, he's a very...

    Worlds Best Cat Litter/urine Color

    Hi everybody, My boy, Howie, uses Worlds best cat litter. I have noticed before that sometimes the urine is a strange color, but I've chalked it up to just being the litter. Today though, it was really obvious. I've attached a photo. To the others who use Words best cat litter, have you seen...

    Royal Canin Gastrointestinal

    Has anyone had problems with Royal Canin gastrointestinal formula? We switched yesterday afternoon per the vet's recommendation because of irregularity issues. Within an hour, our 4 year old orange boy was so sick I was contemplating a 45 minute trio to the emergency vet. He lost all bowel...

    Very Sick Cat

    Howie is our 4 year old boy. He's got feline hyperethstasia and takes gabopentin 3 times a day. Lately we have encountered some litter box problems. He's been pooping outside the box and appears to be holding it as long as he can. I made an appointment with his vet last week. On the way there...

    Worst Day Ever

    My boy, Howie, wins the award for worst day ever and he's blaming it on me. Howie has been pooping on the floor, so we had to take a trip to the vet. First, he pooped in his carrier on the way. He had his temp taken, his anal glands expressed (don't you hate when that happens?), a finger put...

    Will Not Poop In The Box

    Hi everyone, Our four year old Tabby, Howie, is refusing to poop in his box. Let me provide a little bit of background on the situation. Howie was diagnosed with Feline Hyperethesia about two years ago and it took quite a while to get him on the correct medication at the correct dosage. He...

    Scared of litter box

    Hi, my 3 year old boy, Howie, was recently diagnosed with Feline Hyperesthesia. They started him on gabapentin twice a day and he is doing great! However, it took several months to get to this diagnosis. We did a food trial, they tried Benadryl and a steroid shot. During all that time, Howie was...

    Food allergy Christmas treats

    Our 2 year old tabby boy, Howie, started an allergy diet a month ago for excessive scratching. He is on Blue Wilderness limited ingredients (duck and potato). He is doing great! He feels so much better! We'd like to get (or make) a treat for him for Christmas. He does NOT like canned food...

    Howie won't eat new allergy food

    My 2 year old male, Howie, has been having itching/stress symptoms for a few weeks. The vet wants us to try him on an allergy food for the next eight weeks, plus he is taking an antidepressant. We just stared this yesterday. Howie won't touch the food. He is usually a good eater, and gobbles it...

    Really worried, and don't know what to do.

    My two year old tabby male, Howie, started itching about a month and a half ago. He will be going along just fine, even sleeping, and suddenly he will jump up like something has bitten him and start licking and biting his haunches frantically. Now, full disclosure, I work in a special needs...

    Part siamese?

    My cat, Howie, is a small orange tabby. There is nothing about his markings or of his litter mates (a brown tabby boy and an all black boy) to indicate that he is part siamese. However there are other things about him that make me think... He has a slender body type with a skinny, whip tail...

    A feral is bedding next to our house and spraying...

    So, initially we had thought that our Howie had done something really bad in our downstairs. The whole wreaked of cat pee! After a thorough investigation, we never found any spots though. Besides, he's never done anything like that before. A few weeks later it happened again! This time, we put...

    Should we reopen his hiding spot?

    Howie is a bit of a scardey cat, and we knew that he was hiding in a little hole in the back room of the basement when he was afraid. I had a friend over about a week ago, and Howie disappeared. After my friend left I went looking for him and couldn't find him. We searched for 3 hours! I was...

    Howie is making a mess!

    Our little boy, Howie, turned one last month, so we switched him from Science Diet kitten to Science Diet adult. He had always done fine with the kitten food, but now that he is on adult food (that has a bigger kibble), he is dragging his food out of the bowl and chewing it up over the floor. He...

    Random hissing

    Hi everyone! Our small orange tabby, Howie, is a VERY friendly, yet somewhat skittish little boy. He's a rescue cat who spent his first 6 months living under someone's porch, but I think there must be siamese in his gene pool because he is extremely talkative. Howie can't even hide because as...
