    Anyone know about the Quarantine in England?

    Thanks Everyone! I was really confused there. Has anyone brought pets to the UK before? I'm just in the beginning stages of thinking about going.... I don't know how my cat would do on a plane. I heard horror stories about cats not surviving the flight! And then this quarantine business...

    Anyone know about the Quarantine in England?

    I've tried to google this topic but I'm not understanding. If you move your cat to England, you must quarantine them for 6 months? Or is that just if they do not have the required shots and documentation? I am very confused. Can anyone help me or direct me?

    Kind of gross cat-bottom question

    My cat hates being picked up so I do it rarely. However, I picked her up this weekend and something from her bottom leaked on my arm. (It is definitely in the fecal family but liquid.) Does she need her anal glands expressed? I've heard of this for dogs. Does the vet do it? Can a groomer...

    Help Please-More cat acne problems

    I feed her Iams dry food and either Iams wet in the pouches or Natural Choice from the pouches. ( I know these are not the best foods, but they are the only ones she will eat and not throw up) My last cat had ringworm also, I remember. I put cream on him twice a day and it cleared up. That...

    Help Please-More cat acne problems

    My cat has some stubborn chin acne (it looked like coffee grounds) so I made a vet appointment for Saturday. (My vet has terrible hours and I have to go Saturdays or take time off work) (And I threw out all the plastic bowls and wash them daily) I went away this weekend and my parents watched...

    Cat Chin Acne?

    Hmm, I just called me regular vet and they asked the doctor. Supposedly the only thing that works for chin acne is something called "Preg" a steriod in pill or injection form? That sounds a little bit much. I took her to a different vet when I adopted her (a vet by the shelter where the...

    Cat Chin Acne?

    Thanks, I'll try some of those to clean her chin. She lets me rub under her chin sometimes and there aren't any actual bumps, just some red spots I usually can only see when she's right in the sunlight. Do they have to be bumps to be cat acne? I will try and clean it for the next week or so...

    Cat Chin Acne?

    No, she has stainless steel bowls and I usually give her wet food on a paper plate. (Easy to clean up) She doesn't scratch her chin with her paws so it must not itch. She has white fur on her beard. Some days it looks normal but other days it looks like she has pink spots like pimples.

    Cat Chin Acne?

    I have a short haired, strictly indoor cat. Sometimes she gets food in her beard. she is also a very skittish cat who won't let me near her face to clean her chin. I bought some bath wipes but she won't let me near her face with them. Sometimes her chin looks normal but sometimes it looks...

    Calling kitty...

    My Libby is a diva! I call her name and if she's facing away, she'll move her ears in acknowledgement, but she doesn't come to me. If she's facing me and I call her, she'll give me a look that says either "What? Would do you need? I'm comfortable here thanks." or "Lady you are crazy if you...

    My cat ate a contact lens!

    The contacts are disposable so I have tons more (all well hidden now, of course!) It was a soft lens. I think I saw something resembling some plastic bits in her litter, but I"m not sure. She's still healthy and happy so I'm not that worried. Silly cat!

    My cat ate a contact lens!

    Somehow she managed to wrench open the package and slurp up my lens. (I'm guessing, I found the package when I got home) At first I laughed but then I called the vet to make sure it wasn't harmful. They said since it was a soft lens that it should be okay and that I should look for it in her...

    Thoughts on Pet Insurance?

    I ask this because I'm still paying off the $2500 on my credit card from when my last cat got sick and was in the hospital. He unfortunately passed away. Now I adopted another little girl (she's not that little 4-5 years) In your opinions, is pet insurance worth it? Will we be eligible...

    Possible New Kitty - 5 years old

    I've decided to call her Libby. The name Liberty came to me when I was falling asleep but that's kinda too long so she's Libby for short. She even responds to it! Day 2 with Libby was great. She came out of the closet and laid on the couch next to me and let me pet her. She's really warming...

    Possible New Kitty - 5 years old

    She is so funny! She's content in her hiding place until I lay down in bed, then she came out and looked up like, "Yep, I could use some sleep" She hopped on up and fell asleep. The the little thing was rubbing my face in the middle of the night because she wanted to be petted. We are...

    Possible New Kitty - 5 years old

    I just got her today! She is such a scaredy-cat! She's hiding in the back of my closet behind all the clothes. But when I climb back there to pet her, she is a purring machine! Sweet little girl. Any ideas for names? Her shelter name was Cookie, but I've been calling her Libby, Phoebe...

    Possible New Kitty - 5 years old

    Hello, I don't know if this is the right page but you all were so nice when my kitty got sick and passed away, I thought I'd give it a try. I've found the sweetest little girl at a local shelter and I would like to adopt her. It's really lonely without a kitty around. The only thing is she is...
