First off I want to say thanks to everyone for their advice and kind words. I decided to go ahead with the treatment. I was leaning that all along but I want to make sure I was doing what was best her. I didn't want to be selfish and make her go through spending 3 days at the hospital for the...

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with their kitty receiving IV fluid therapy for severe kidney failure. What I'm wondering is if it helped the kitty's condition and quality of life. I know every cat is different and what works for one might not help another. The reason I'm asking...

I thought I would post an update to Princess' potty issue. I'm happy to say that the she hasn't had anymore "accidents". The solution to the problem was to just let her back in the room she was shut out of. Her Doctor did suggest Princess try a new medication but I wasn't to give it to her...

She has been seen by 3 different doctors at different practices. Her normal doctor is a feline specialist. They have also discussed her case with the teaching hospital in the area. As far as the antibiotics, they are necessary. Without them she would get infections averaging every 6 weeks...

I actually have tried quite a few litter options and have added 2 more boxes. I have 5 total boxes and 2 inside only cats. When she started having the UTI's (over 18 months ago) she associated them with pain and quit using the box temporarily. She would go right in from of them. At that...

I know I'm not a vet but I do know Princess very well. She just had a urine test/culture about a week ago and it was clear. She is currently on antiboitics too. She goes on them 10 days a month to try to prevent recurrent infections. That is working very well. She hasn't had an infection...

My cat Princess is becoming very defiant lately. She has decided that if she doesn't get her way she will urinate outside her litterbox. Her perfered spot is right in front of the TV in the living room. Let me start off with a little background. Princess is 15 years old and does have...

Thanks everyone!!!!

I ended up buying the toy and Princess and Patsy don't have any interest in it what so ever. Mikey is actually afraid of it, which suprises me because he is totaly into playing with strings. I think I'm going to return it and get something I know they will love. More treats

It does sound like stress to me. The only other thing I can think of is an allergy. My cat Princess has a severe flea allergy. If she gets bit by one flea she loses tons of hair and it happens VERY QUICKLY. Have there been any recent changes in your home? Even something so simple as moving...

Hi and Welcome!!! As for trimming claws, I just get someone to help and get it done quickly. They are only mad for a few minutes then it's over. I've heard some people play with their kitties feet between trimmings so they are used to it. Good Luck!!!

My cats do almost anything they want EXCEPT jump on the counters or go outside. Princess was easy because she was only 7 weeks when I got her. She was way to small to jump that high and by the time she could she already knew that wasn't exceptable. Patsy was adopted at 1.5 years I just told...

I've had 2 back surgeries. I was in 2 car accidents 4 months apart. I have a herniated disc at L4-L5. I have weakness, pain and numbness in my left leg. I had the first microdiscectomy in march of 2002. I was in the hospital overnight (I was released about 14 hours after I left the recovery...

My Princess can open ANY door even if they are deadbolted. I've has to put lift latches at the top of all the doors I don't want her to open. I've also had to put security screen doors on all the doors leading outside. It's funny most people add extra locks to keep people out, I have to do it...

I was looking at some different websites that has different cat products and seen a toy called Fling-ama-string. It looks like something my cats would like. They LOVE to play with strings. I'm just curious if anyone has one? If so, do your kitties like it? Is it well made? Is it worth...

The carrier I bought hold up to 25lbs. One of my cats is 17 lbs so I know what you mean about them getting heavy. I also found double strollers so that might be an option so you can take your 2 kitties together. There were also heavy duty strollers but I can't remember the weight limits in them.

I paid $45 for mine on-line because the ones I've seen at Pets Mart don't have the detachable carrier/car seat. $10 more is woth the conveneience and safety factor for me. Princess already tries to sneak out so that will be nothing new. I've had to put up security doors and lift latches at...

Has anyone used a pet stroller for their cats? I've been checking them out in pet stores for a while now but I've been a litty unsure about them. My big problem was that if I used it to go to the vet I would have to transfer my kitty from a carrier in the car to the stroller and they would...
