    My cat's nail. Does he need a vet?

    My Murray wears those soft paws. I came home and noticed the nail on his back paw is sideways. All of the soft paws have fallen off except this one. Should I wait for it to come off or does he need to be seen at the vet? The vet is open until 10 (it's 8:20 right now). Please write back.

    Cat gaining weight while on a diet.

    Okay so my Murray has been doing well since his bout with colitis back in March. Well, now I'm not so sure he is still doing well. He is a 1 year old neutered male. I have been taking him in monthly for weigh ins at the vet. His doctor told me to have him lose a pound when he was originally...

    YAWWWWWWNNNN

    I've been trying to get a picture of Murray yawning for the longest time. Tonight however, I discovered that if I yawned, he yawned right back. I used it to my advantage as you can see.

    How much weight should my cat gain?

    When I brought my baby to the vet back in March I asked about his weight. She said he should lose a pound. I found him on the streets back in November and he weighed 4.8lbs. In March he was at 13.9lbs. I can't tell if he's lost any weight or gained anymore. How fast should he gain weight...

    Best dry food for weight loss

    I was at the vet a few weeks ago with my neutered one year old domestic shorthair.  I asked the vet about his weight and she said to have him drop a pound.  I don't think he has lost any weight, unless stepping on my digital scale with and without him is not accurate.  He is currently on the...

    Anyone ever dealt with colitis in their cats?

    My one year old baby was diagnosed with colitis today.  I wonder if it can be related to him having his glands squeezed on Friday or if maybe he started going outside his box because he was starting to get colitis before Friday.  How did you deal?  Was the colitis a one time thing or is it...

    Is this normal?

    My cat's vet recommended he have his glands squeezed. So I took him in on Friday for that. The tech said everything looked alright when he did it. Yet, now my cat has been pooping every few hours. Sometimes it's a normal amount of poop, sometimes it's just a small piece. He's still eating...

    Pooping issues

    My cat is around 1 and is strictly indoors. Recently he started pooping outside his box, like 75% of the time. I thought at first maybe since it's getting warmer out, he finds it too hot inside his covered box. But even when my apt is cool, he still does it. And I have to keep the lid on...

    Pooping outside his box

    Any ideas why my cat may be pooping outside his catbox?  He just went for the third time in 4 days.  He walked in the box, then walked right out and pooped on the floor.  I just changed the bag yesterday, so everything is clean and the litter is fairly deep. As far as behavior, otherwise he is...

    Chicken breast for my cat.

    Tomorrow I will be celebrating his first birthday and I wanted to bake my cat some chicken breast as a treat, rather than his kibble.  Does the breast have to be plain, or are there any seasonings I can put on it?  I think I'll put some tuna flakes on the side, a birthday treat I bought him at...

    Panting after an intense workout

    My cat would occasionally pant after an intense workout.  I told the vet and he wasn't concerned.  Today though he started panting even sooner than usual.  Yet, he kept trying to play and catch his teaser and jump and perform acrobatics while panting.  I did make him stop though and I was able...

    Summer, how hot is too hot?

    Last year my roommate and I turned the A/C off whenever we weren't home, as it is super expensive where we live.  She has snakes so they love the heat.  Yet, now I have a cat.  If I set the A/C to 85* while we aren't home will that be too hot for my kitty?  It has already risen to over 80* in my...
