    History Of Urinary Problems - Cystocentesis This Week Vs Specialist Visit In Half A Month

    Hi all, One of my cats has a history of urinary problems and hates vets. Last Monday we rushed to the emergency room when he was peeing drops of blood. They did a full blood panel (all clean) and he was on Metacam for five days. Last Wednesday I brought in a urine sample which I got by holding...

    First bite - what a day

    I was at the shelter today working in quarantine. We had three cats there - one really sweet one and two really stressed and scared ones who were hissing and spitting. This is common, quarantine is the first place they stay when they are brought in so that we can make sure they're not sick and...

    Smilla Toothies and other teeth cleaning treats - do they work?

    At our last 6-month checkup the vet noticed some mild redness around our cat's gumline. I immediately ordered two CET toothbrush and paste kits and have been brushing both cats' teeth almost daily since then. However, I still worry (especially since I still feel really clumsy with the toothbrush...

    Convincing cat to drink more

    Our cats are both on wet food, one on home made raw and the other on grain free wet. Rigel (the one on raw) has a history of urinary problems caused by a badly done unrelated procedure and since then he has been visiting the internal medicine specialist every 6 months for blood and urine tests...

    Advice for underweight cat with bad appetite?

    Hi all, I'd love some feeding advice. My cat (almost 2 year old Maine Coon) can't have dry food or seafood due to bladder sensitivity after a big incident when he was 6 months old which almost killed him. His appetite was never great after his hospital stays back then, but for months he would...

    Confusing negative reaction to raw after several months in 2 cats (suspected bad batch but unsure)

    It's been such a frustrating and worrying few days! Both of our cats have been eating raw for the past couple of months and aside from one vomiting incident from one of them that ended up seemingly a one-off and not related to a bad batch as I originally feared we've had no issues. They ate...

    "Hi, I'm Rigel, and I am a dirty turkey thief."

    I was preparing a new batch of raw for the cats last night and since the meat is for them don't really mind them reaching up to have a sniff. Unfortunately Rigel decided to have more of a sniff! He grabbed one of the 600g slabs of turkey and trotted off with it. Almost got to our bed before I...

    Cat-specific jackets/covers?

    My cats like being outdoors, one especially being fond of walks on the harness, but despite their long coat they are still getting a bit cold as temps dip below zero. Aside form just being an enjoyment thing it's pretty important for us to be able to still comfortably go for walks with one of...

    Vomited undigested raw food - should I be worried about batch?

    My cats have been eating raw on and off for almost a year but we've gone through a few changes. A few weeks ago I started feeding TCPremix with raw chicken, which they've been fine with up until now. My cat (1 year old) vomited a bit of undigested or partially digested (it was really dark but...

    I Have Become Crazy Cat Lady, the Buyer of Cat Strollers (large image warning)

    This is a copy of a blog post I just posted on my site about our first longer walk with the cat stroller. I hope that's ok! I thought it would be better than just posting a link. I'm very excited because our cats really seem to be taking to the stroller and I'm looking forward to taking more fun...

    Does anyone have experiences with Pet Gear strollers?

    Hello! I am thinking about getting our two Maine Coon kittens a cat stroller. They love being outside - they have a small enclosed porch to run free in when supervised and they enjoy roaming around our small shared yard on harnesses. I live near a large scenic cemetery (a world heritage...

    Looking for input/suggestions on MUSH cat BARF

    Hi, Our cats used to be on Orijen dry, supplemented with MUSH BARF. We've read that it's better for them to be on scheduled wet feedings instead of free-fed dry and now due to urinary infection problems in one of our kittens (who is still in hospital) we are actually making the switch. The...

    Not sure whether kitten with watery eye needs to go to vet

    Hi, I could use some advice here because due to ongoing health problems with our other cat I've become paranoid. I don't know if I'm finding problems where there are none in our other kitten or if this requires a vet visit. Our Maine Coon kitten, about 4 months old, has clear discharge from her...
