My son was called away on business for two weeks. So we brought his 3 year old female Maine Coon cat to our house. We have a one and a half year old male Maine Coon who is actually her half brother. We have had them visit each other for a few hours before. My sons cat is obviously not happy and...

When I picked up my new kitten he had a slightly runny eye and sneezed 10 times a day. His nose had a little blockafe. The vet put him on Amoxicillon and eye drops and he was fine in 10 days.

Took him to the Vet yesterday. He is on the end of a cold but his lungs are clear and he's doing great. He weighs 5 pounds. His color is creamy/blond. As for a name...since he's a pretty blond boy and obviously a star, we are going with Bradley "Brad" Pitt.

I decided to try a male kitten this time. He is a pure bred Maine Coon. About 14 weeks old. The breeder did a great job. He's socialized, uses the litter box and already knows how to scratch on a scratching post. He does have a little cold still. He sneezes every once in a while and has a little...

My long haired cat will occcasionally vomit up a hair ball along with some bile. It's an ugly yellow/green. It's about the consistancy of a mashed banana. The vet said not to worry if it does not happen often.

I am picking up my new 15 week old kitten from a local breeder I have used before. She has given the kittens two doses of 4 in 1 FVRCP. She says says I should NOT get the kitten a FeLV vaccination. She believes it can actually give cats the virus. If I give the cat the FeLV shot is will void...

I am getting a new kitten from a local breeder I know in a few days. Rather than just pay the Vet $45 for a fecal test for worms, is there any problem with just having the Vet give the kitten a deworming pill?

While my Maine Coon liked the Zoom groom, she still got very bad matted areas that needed shaving. So I switched to a wide toothed comb and she loves it. She will even roll over on her side and back so I can comb her. It does a much better job than the zoom groom.

I let my cat free feed Royal Canin most of the day and give her a small amount of Wet Cat food at dinner. She dinks plenty of water, but wet food only adds to it.

My Maine Coon girl loves to play hide and seek. If I chase her, she will run and open kitchen cabinets and hide inside. When I walk away and hide, she comes out and finds me. She loves to open kitchen drawers and cabinets. I have had to put locks on some of them. She also learned how to slide...

Whenever I put an ice cube in my cats water bowl she just plays with it and makes a big mess.

My 2 year old female Maine Coon is 16.4 pounds. She will not eat wet food. So I have her on a Royal Canin indoor cat food diet. The also make a food to help cats lose weight. It helps them lose weight or keep the weight off. http://www.feline-nutrition.com/indoor_u.html

I heard that there is no effective and reasonabbly priced test to verify a cat actually has Herpes. Is this correct? I am close to adopting a kitten that is coming off of a cold. Can a cold with sneezing and running eye be something other than herpes. The kitten has received her first two 4...

I feed my Maine Coon (who is an indoor cat) Royal Canin Maine Coon Mix and some Royal Canin Inside. She has stopped eating wet food though. I used to give her some wet food every day at dinner time. She free feeds dry food the rest of the time. Wet food helps cats get water. Since my Maine...

Kaylee, my sons purebred Maine Coon is 16.5 pounds. Weighed by the vet 4 weeks ago. She's in great health.

It was the breeder who told me she wanted to keep the kittens longer when the first one got a cold. Then the second got sick. The last two are fine so far. But incubation is 7 to 10 days. She will not release a sick kitten. My big concern is if the kitten has more than a cold...say herpes. It...

A few years ago my son bought a purebred Maine Coon kitten from a local cattery. She is a wonderful cat and has never been sick. I have decided to get one too from the same cattery. At 12 weeks, the kittens were ready to go to their new homes. There are 4 to choose from. But, 10 days ago the...

My "little girl" Maine Coon is nearly one year old and now weighs nearly 15 pounds. She may be a tad overweight, ( I am not sure) but her mother was very large too. I switched her from Royal Canin kitten food to their Maine Coon food a month ago. I always just let her free feed. I give her...
