I know this is a common complaint around here, so I'm hoping someone can help me out. I included bullet points to make it easier. -I have four strictly indoor cats with four litterboxes that I clean daily. -Squash was recently treated for crystals and seems to have recovered. I've watched him...

@FairyCatMom Thank you for the response! The first time I took him to the vet for peeing problems his stream was still going strong so the vet thought the methigel would clear it up. So I took him back to the vet and they kept him overnight to catheterize him and flush out his bladder...

Squash is a 4-year-old orange tabby male. He's having urinary problems and he's peeing nonstop all over the floor. I have an appointment with the vet tomorrow, but in the meantime is there anything I can give him to alleviate the pain and prevent him from peeing nonstop? If he is not lying down...

So Mama kitty has a stinky BUTT! Whenever she sits on my lap I can smell it. I know what you are going to say...anal glands. Well, I took her to the vet to express her anal glands. He did so and told me that hers weren't full and what was coming out was normal for a cat. I saw myself and there...

Bump! Still looking for a solution that is viable for a dirt plot that will be exposed to sun and rain!

I have 4 strictly indoor adult cats. Mama kitty is about 6 years old and the other 3 are 3 years old. For the most part they get along, with a few little scraps here and there. At one point an ex boyfriend of mine brought home a tiny kitten he found in the street, and my cats were PISSED. It...

@Red Top Rescue Thanks for the input. Do you have any experience using safflower seed as litter?

I live in a townhouse, and in the near future I am planning to screen in my back patio. There are two dirt plots out there, and I would like to turn the smaller one of them into a "litterbox" for my 4 cats. My cats are strictly indoor and right now they are using the Breeze litter system...

I think sometimes cats just have poopy butts. Mine usually have firm poops but there is always a little bit of dried poop on their butts. I've gotten into the habit of wiping them but they really don't like it. When I wipe them it doesn't entirely clean their butt, as I mentioned the poop seems...

Good news! Seems like Onyx is on the mend today. He's more active and bright and he's been playing and running around. He's not 100% back to his psycho kitty ways, but he seems much better. Technically he is my boyfriend's cat so he wants to hold off on going to the vet since money is tight...

update: Onyx just ate a whole plate of food and has been drinking well. Still lethargic and has now started to occasionally wheeze. I'm hoping that maybe it's just his URI acting up again and nothing too serious.

Hello everyone, Onyx is a 4 to 5 month old kitten that my boyfriend literally found in the street. When we found him he was probably about 4 weeks old and had an upper respiratory infection and mites. The URI cleared up after a bout of antibiotics and he was fine. On Friday I noticed he was...

My other kitties never actually got the chance to meet her. We found her presumably soon after she was hit by a car and took her immediately to an emergency vet clinic. Sadly we were never able to bring her home.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who responded. My boyfriend and I definitely felt the loss of this little one, and even though it gets easier as the days pass, you never really forget. We still think of her and love her. It really helped us to have the support of everyone in the...

Some of you may have been following my other thread in the cat health section 'kitten hit by car.' It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that Karma did not make it. She went to surgery to remove dead skin from an extensive wound, and after the surgery she went into respiratory arrest...

Sadly Karma did not make it. She went into surgery today and when she was recovering she went into respiratory arrest and they were not able to revive her. :( Thank you everyone for your support through this time. We're feeling very heartbroken over it. 

Hello everyone, Just wanted to give a little update. Karma is hanging in there. She's eating great. They feed her 6 or 7 times a day I believe and she cleans her plate every time. Her temp is a little on the high side, ranging from about 101-102 degrees, with the occasional spike to 103, but...

Yes, I'm probably going to set it up tonight. Any little bit helps!

Hello everyone, I've had a stray kitten in my care that my boyfriend picked up off the street (he was literally playing in traffic.) I also have four adult cats who have lived with me for about 2.5 years. I've read many articles about introducing kittens to cats and tried as much as I could to...
