So this isn't an emergency or anything but I am curious. Vincent is just under two years old. I found him in the snow in the Adirondacks as a kitten of about 4 months old. He had frostbite and the tip of his right ear died off a long time ago... (picture for reference)  Sometimes when Vincent...

Vincent got a scratch on his eye on New Year's Eve, presumably from the other cat that lives here. He was keeping his eye shut and it was watering a lot so I gently opened it and there was a visible scratch right across his eye. I took him to the vet right away and it costed me a lot of money...

Anyone have experience with feline acne? What treatment worked for you. I'd prefer something that doesn't need to be prescribed just for the sake of money.

I noticed my cat suddenly broke out on his chin, I've seen pictures of how bad it can get from scratching at it and he's been scratching pretty badly at it and his fur seems "dirty" and stained from it. I'd take him to the vet but they'd just do a bunch of biopsy tests and skin scrapings just to...

Vincent has this little red pom-pom ball that has little tiny fine ribbon-like "hairs" on it and it's soft and small (the size of a craft store pom-pom. We got the pom-pom as a gift from my boyfriend's coworker who had a cat who didn't want a bunch of stuff.  It quickly became his favorite and...

I am currently staying at a friend's house. My cat lives in the bedroom with my boyfriend and I. He does great even if the circumstance is unfortunate. We are moving to a house in Virginia that had another cat and a Small dog. (Mini schnauzer) Today a friend's dog (small, quiet, poodlepoo mix)...

I guess I seem to have this idea that you're supposed to refrigerate things in cans after you open them. However, after I open a can, take out a little, and put it in the fridge....it turns gross and then he wont touch it.  I buy the Blue Buffalo brand cans and he usually likes it when it's...

First off, Vincent is a very brave cat. The only time he's ever seems scared is when we pretends to be scared when we play "tag" (boyfriend and I chase him and then he chases us around the house). The only time he actually showed fear was fireworks on the Fourth of July. Everything else, nerves...

My cat's birthday is coming up and I wanted to make him a little cupcake made out of raw meat or something. What would be a good idea? Would raw chicken breast and liver from the store be ok? Anyone have any good ideas?

I feed my 1 year old cat Blue Buffalo brand cat food. Grain-free and all that jazz. I really am considering putting him on just can food but I want to know if it's better than having him on the dry/wet diet I have him on now. Is there any down-side I should know about? I grew up thinking wet...

What a strange name you might think. He goes by "Vincent" after the famous painter Vincent VanGogh. I'm sure you can guess why. If not I'll give you a hint: That's not a photoshop mistake in that picture.  Well where does Valentine come in? Also self-explanitory <3 (also to play on the name...

Hi guys, I am still new here but if you've read some of my posts, You might be able to tell that this is my first time being the only one to make decisions for my own cat. I've helped others with their cats and while I was growing up, it was my mom's cats and my mom's rules. If you already know...

I recently bought my cat, Vincent, a cute bow-tie collar from Pet Smart. I need a collar for him right now because I'm in the process of moving and I want to make sure he'll be able to get back to me if he ever gets out. (they don't microchip cats in this town). The bow-tie collar was very very...

Vincent (as you might be able to tell from the pictures) is not necessarily a "flat-faced" cat. However he snores and grunts pretty often. I feel like that it's more characteristic of exotic short hairs, persians, etc. to make wheezy little sounds too. The sound isn't deep or rattly, but kind of...

My cat, Vincent, found in the ice as a kitten and taken home by me, had a broken tail. The very last vertebrae is stuck at a 90 degree angle from the rest of the tail. so sort of like and upside down "L." Since the vertebrae is so small, it isn't something you really notice by looking at the...

My cat is an inside-only cat and I've really been wanting him to be able to climb and survey the apartment from a higher point of view. I've been considering getting those cat condos that they sell at most pet stores but there's a few things I don't like about them. 1) they are hideous. I hate...

I have long known about raw diets and the effort and ingredients that go into it. It seems like only a dream to me to be able to feed my cat the most ideal food. I currently spend about 21 bucks on a small bag of food and an additional 10 bucks or so on cans every month or so. I feel like a raw...

So I may be very experienced with cats and dealing with their litter but I heard a vet once say that cat litter could harm a cat's health (i.e. dusty/scented litters)  My cat pees up a storm and I find that I spend a lot on litter since I have to replace the whole box every time or I feel like...

So I read a story online about a dying dog on the way to the vet to get put down because he wouldn't stand up or eat. The owners brought him through a drive-thru and bought him a Big Mac for his final meal. It turned out the dog was so excited for the Big Mac that he perked up and ate it in one...

Vincent is almost 1 year old. I found him outside dying of hypothermia in January (he was estimated 5 months old then) and is now happy living with me and my boyfriend inside my apartment. I've had him on Blue Buffalo kitten food (can and dry) and I just decided to start him on big boy food so I...
