I had two purebred bengals and they were half sisters. One had a much more domestic looking head and she was much bigger. The other was petite and had a wild - more typically bengal looking head.  I think they shared the same mother and had different fathers (I had paper somewhere). So even pure...

Haha! Yes, I am fairly sure it is just his breast bone and I became fixated on it. I will have someone check it out soon, but he really is not bothered at all. I think he does lack muscle around that area. Thank you for your comment - it does reassure me to read it and I will def take your...

It could be an infection such as a viral infection, it could be a cold, or asthma. A vet could use a stethoscope and listen to his lungs, heart, etc. Whatever it is it sounds like he's having difficulty breathing and needs some medical attention. I'd keep him indoors and warm until you can get...

Possibilities could be a reaction to a bite, an allergy to cat litter (my cat was getting sores from the clay cat litter), allergy to food, a poisonous plant she is chewing on, something else in the home. With my cat i put warm water on a clean cloth and dabbed his sores just to keep them clean...

I worry about small cat toys with parts that come off like mouse eyes, tails, etc. Also, I think my cat is a little sensitive to catnip and he gets sores on his body if he is around it very much. Does anyone know of any quality cat toy companies, perhaps smaller ones? I have gotten him some hard...

There is a marbled bengal and it looks somewhat like this on the sides. https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.supernova-bengals.co.uk%2Fboys%2Fappache%2F05.jpg&f=1

Hey. So I've noticed this before but have chosen late at night after drinking too much tea to start worrying about this. My male cat is quite thin. He has FIV and this may be why he never really puts on lots of fat. Beneath the soft part of his throat, on the front of his body, and by beneath I...

And just possibly try a little plain non fat yogurt  - organic preferably, for the probiotics. Most of the immune system is in the gut and strenghtening the healthy microbes in the gut may boost the whole immune system. Again, I gave my cat some plain yogurt mixed with a little lukewarm water in...

Why is this page covered with ads for me? I have a response but can hardly read this. I had Bengals and they had ongoing issues with their digestion and finally found after searching for a million hours that Asian cats are notorious for having very very sensitive digestive systems. So I am just...

LisaHE    Haha! Yogurt face. :-) Furmonster Mom  That is fascinating to me and answers questions I've had about why cats desire milk so much - apart from when they are kittens. Now that I think about it, it makes so much sense. It would be a symbiotic relationship. Because cats have antiseptic...

Thanks Maureen, It is encouraging that your FIV cat does well on it.  I've just looked at that site and they look really interesting. I'm ordering some today and give it a go. I might try one flavor and try that for a few weeks and see if these sores go away.  Then add in other flavors. I also...

 ;  g'night all!

Is it okay to put a link here?  This is an article about biomes that we need, how anti-biotics have affected them, and at the very end of the article, pro-biotics are discussed. It is science based article and pretty interesting. I think it would relate just as much to our pets. They are giving...

I have given mine very very small amounts of plain, non-fat organic kefir and sometimes yogurt. I know cats are not supposed to tolerate dairy but my understanding is that kefir and yogurt are much more digestible and have all the pro-biotics that can help the gut. The pro-biotics in it actually...

I have to tell you all - you couldn't possibly know but I have been going through the worst time of my life. It has been horrible. And I found this cat  2+ months ago starving. I am having a hard time focusing, concentrating, but desperately want to get him healthy. He has FIV. I feel so tired...

Wow, you are very helpful people. I've gotten jaded so this is so nice. I like the format of this site too. So, I've copied everyones advice to my notebook and will be looking at all of them. At the moment I have decided to give him the Newmans Organic Turkey, add Newman's Organic Chicken ...

i just recently gave my cat fresh cooked liver, just on a whim because I had cookd it for myself. I mean I only gave him about a tablespoon, mashed up. But he had a bad reaction in the next day or two (though I'm still unsure of the cause) and had hives all over his front legs. I kept thinking...

You mean have more natural type pieces off of the breast? How would you cook that? Could you cook it in a slow cooker or slow cook it in the oven? I think liver is quite high in fat, though it is nutritious.

No, that didn't come out right. I will find the very best canned food I can.  ( I meant considering none of them seem to be completely free of some problem ingredients)
