    Fever, or adjusting after meds?

    Hi All - A little over 2 weeks ago a stray came up to me in the alley by my house and was so friendly I had to take him in. He's #6 (named him Vito Corleone), so of course I took him to the vet to get checked out first. He passed all the tests, only had an upper respiratory infection. He was...

    Food - how much is too much or too little?

    After one of our cats getting a urinary infection, the vet suggested we stop feeding them dry food. After looking into it, we agreed to do it, even though one of our cats absolutely loves it more than soft food. Now they've turned into nagging scavengers. We feed them (one is 2 yrs, the other...
