    Sister's cat diagnosed with diabetes, can't eat wet food.

    Hello!  I think it's been about a year since I've been here - my cats are doing well, happy and in good health.  But my sister's cat has just been diagnosed with diabetes.  He's 9, an underweight at 14 pounds giant Maine Coon mix. The issue is that he has a tender stomach and can't digest wet...

    Prozac & urine retention

    Before I start: I've called the vet! I'm waiting for a call back now. Since she's just gone to the bathroom, I've downgraded this to "very concerning" from "impending emergency". I'm hoping some of you here have experience with cats holding their urine longer while on Prozac/Fluoxetine. I...

    Not sure if this is the right place for this

    Please point me in the right direction if it's wrong. I just accidentally flagged a post on this thread: http://www.thecatsite.com/t/224428/one-eye-reflects-red-the-other-reflects-green I was scrolling up on my iPad and my cat jumped onto my lap and I hit the flag button on accident. A popup...

    Red gums in older kitten

    I was hoping I could get some help about red gums in an older kitten. My kitten, Gus, is 8 1/2 months old, more or less. He's had kind of stinky breath from the day he came home at 6 months old - not awful, but a little smelly. I wouldn't think much of it, would figure it's just cat food...

    psycho kitty as early warning system: a horror story (long!)

    I've mentioned a few times around here that my kitten Claude, 9 months old and a member of our family for the last 7 of them, has steadily been developing an extreme case of anxiety. It's been puzzling and heartbreaking, since she came to us as a bold, bossy kitten, and has slowly become more...

    Food for older kittens - "all ages" food, how much to feed, etc

    Hi! I've been spending some time researching and going back through threads, and I feel like I'm getting more confused rather than less. I have two older kittens: Claude, a spayed 7 1/2 month old, just over 5 lbs, very fine boned and small but very healthy. I've had her since she was 8...

    Is this normal? Help, please - URI treatment in newly adopted shelter cat.

    Hi! I have a sick kitten - 6 months old - who just came home from the shelter on Saturday 10/25, five days ago. When I picked him up, the woman at the shelter said that he'd had some discharge in his eye that morning, though he looked just fine currently. Our first stop was at my vet, who...

    Another kitten peeing the bed question

    Hi!  I need some help, and I apologize if I give way too much information here, but I'm afraid of leaving out anything that might be relevant.  I got a new kitten mid-May - she was 8 weeks old at the time.  She's an only cat - last year, I lost my forever one-in-a-lifetime cat to kidney failure...
