Hi all, I will be moving with my 2 boys from CA to the midwest this summer. I have 2options: 1. My husband can drive with them in the car (he's moving before me, in June) 2. I can fly with them when I go in July (I plan to fly anyway) We haven't decided yet whether to use aceprozamine or not...

My cat Floco is 2.5 yrs old and has a very loose tooth in front. Some background: a friend of mine who used to be a vet tech was visiting and she noticed Floco had bad breath and some gengivitis. This was about a week ago-- we didn't notice the tooth. I took him to the vet yesterday for his...

Hi everyone! This won't happen anytime soon but at some point my husband and I would like to get a pig. I've always wanted a pig and am well-aware of the amoung of care it would require. My question has to do with my cats because I can't find much information about how pigs relate to other...

For the last couple of weeks, Floco has been chewing on things, like my book covers and especially my husband's office chair (just the arms, which are soft and chewy, kind of). He's 13 months, so I know he can't be teething. The last time he and his brother did this, was when they were teething...

Well, so we had our first visit to the ER with the cats. While I was out, my husband said that Toaster walked into his room with his left eye shut and was trying to scratch at his eye. He called me to get the vet's number (it was 9:30 pm), but had to go to the emergency service. Long story...

Hi everyone- My boys turned 1 and this is the first time I am posting about a health problem for them. I noticed that Floco's lower lip (left side) was kind of droopy when I looked at him from far away. I managed to take a look and up close it looks maybe a bit puffy but what I did see where...

Hi everyone- I don't know if this the right place to post this-- but I figured it was a lounge topic My boys turned 1 year old today, May 13! We are having a cookout party for them on Sunday, with a cake and all. Our friends know how much we love the kitties, so I don't think they thought...

Hi all- Is it possible for cats to have nasal allergies? It is the season now and my poor husband is suffering. Our cat Toaster has also been having these unexplained sneezing bouts. Every day or every other day for the last week, he'll have a very long sneezing bout-- 9 or 10 sneezes in a row...

Is it ok for me to occasionally give my 1 year old cat some yogurt? (plain, nonfat). Floco comes over whenever I am eating some. 1. Will it cause digestive problems? I would think not, since yogurt is good for the intestinal flora, at least in humans 2. Will it cause any problems for his teeth...

Hi everyone- I apologize if this isn't the right section of the site to post this on, but I figured breeders might know the answer to my question. I have 2 boy cats (brothers), who were born last May 13 (2004). We sort of know their history because we got the cats from our neighbor, whose...

Hi! I'm sure this question must have been asked before... My boys are now 9 months. They still eat kitten food (Nutro Natural). They weigh 13.5 lbs each! I know, monsters! They aren't fat, they are just big cats (though some people think they have a slighly pooch). They run around outside and...

Hi all- Don't know if this belongs in the behavior section, but... On Friday night, my husband and I came home to find the house smelling like cat pee. We have 2 male cats (8 months old and neutered). It ended up that a stray male (who I think is the same one we've seen in the backyard) got...

Ok, this sounds silly but... My husband said he felt like getting gifts for the boys... (we don't have human kids). We're considering some kind of comfy cat bed. They don't have a bed, they just have many favorite spots around the house where they curl up. Any ideas of nice beds, something...

Hi everyone- So, my boys are now both 7 months. I weighed them last week-- Toaster is 11 lbs and Floco is 12 lbs. Is that too much? Floco looks sort of chubby, but it could be because he is white and poofy. Toaster looks ok. But they are both big cats, I think. They eat the Nutro kitten food...
