    Cat Chewing & Washing Himself To Pieces - Help!

    Recently my boy Butch started aggressively chewing at his legs and paws. I became so alarmed I took him to the vet to be examined. The vet said he was either having an allergic reaction to something or it was a behavioral issue (or it could even be both). He has always washed his stomach to the...

    Perplexed Why My Cats Are Always Shaking Their Heads

    A couple days ago I took my cats to the vets to get them some Depo shots and a resupply of Revolution. The Depo was for scabs and their itching which the vet said was seasonal allergies. He checked my cats teeth and ears and said they were good, but both my cats still shake their heads a lot...

    Trying New Litter - Swheat Scoop

    Took my cats to the vet because they were itching a lot and poor Butch had a bunch of scabs along his back and under his tail. After examining the cats the vet said he saw no signs of fleas so he concluded it must be allergies of some kind. He gave each of them some Revolution and a shot of...

    Using Essential Oils In A Shot Glass?

    I know that certain essential oils can help deter bugs and since I live in a basement I want to be able to use them. I was going to use a couple oil diffusers until I found out that these could cause harm to my furry kids. But now I'm wondering, can I use these same oils in a shot glass? I...

    High Strung Girl Has A Lot Of Missing Fur?

    My girl Coda has a lot of missing fur. Her belly is almost completely bald, fur missing on the back of her legs and haunches. The vet said this is caused by stress and that seems possible since Coda is a very high strung kitty. We moved from a house where it was always quiet and just the three...

    Should I Let My Cat Outside Once In A While?

    I bought one of those cat leashes for Butch back when I first moved in and I would let him go outside on the leash (it was like 20ft so he could roam around). I was wondering if I could still let him go outside occasionally, or if that would just exasperate the flea issue and make things worse...

    Thinking Of Finding My Cats A New Home

    I didn't know where else to post this. Here's my situation.... Four years ago while taking care of my dad I took in two kittens. The idea was that my mom always had cats so perhaps having cats around again would brighten up the house and my dad. It worked, but then my dad finally had to be put...

    Natural Planet Chicken & Peas Formula?

    I was feeding my cats Purina Naturals indoor formula (the salmon one), but I wanted to get them on a dry food that was better for them. I was going to get Orijen Regional Red Grain-Free Dry Cat Food, because they had that before and it seemed like a good one, but I can't afford the almost $40...

    Help! Cats will not eat hardly anything.

    I have two cats, a male (Butch) and a female (Coda). They are 2 1/2 years old.  I started them out on Iams (both the dry and wet), but then I found out how bad the ingredients in Iams was and I started them out on some higher end food. Originally it was Wellness Core, which they scarfed...

    My cat's behavior has changed since being fixed

    My male cat, Butch, is almost 6 months old. I just had him fixed last Friday and since then his behavior has changed drastically. Before the surgery he was always running around the house, playing with his sister, constantly getting into things. He would always climb up on me and want to sit or...
