    Cat obsessively licking fur off rump?

    Hi everyone, One of our younger cats, Ezra, who is almost 16 months old, has been compulsively licking his rump/very top side of his back legs on both sides for about the past month or so.  He has licked these areas so much that he is now missing a patch of fur on each side.  No, he definitely...

    Worried about our 8-month-old

    Hi everyone, I'm really worried about our 8-month-old male, Ezra.  Throughout the day today, we have been finding cat vomit on the floor throughout the house, but we didn't know who it was from as we have 5 cats and they very rarely ever vomit.  The vomit was mostly clear.  In fact, at first I...

    Any suggestions on how to train 2 kittens NOT to jump on the kitchen counter?

    Hi everyone, We have 5 cats, 2 of them being 6-month-old kittens.  The issue we are having with the kittens is that they have discovered that they LOVE to jump up on the kitchen counters.  We just had our entire kitchen remodeled and have all brand new countertops, so we really don't want cats...

    Somewhat sudden personality change in cat

    Hello all, My husband and I are quite concerned about one of our cats, Eddie.  He is an almost 7-year-old Russian Blue/Maine Coon mix (although his appearance could easily pass for full Russian Blue).  We've had him since he was about 8 weeks old and he's always been the sweetest cat and has...

    Can anyone recommend a good all life stages food?

    We have two male kittens that we adopted this summer. We also have adult cats in our home. We have been feeding the kittens Fancy Feast wet kitten food (turkey formula) and Purina One Healthy Kitten formula for dry kibble, although they eat mostly wet food since it's healthier than eating...

    Has anyone experienced this before?

    We lost our 12-year-old baby, Bailey, to kidney failure a little over 2 weeks ago. We miss him like crazy. We have 4 other cats. Suddenly, in the last few days, our youngest cat, Ben, has been adopting many of Bailey's old behaviors. It's really very strange. Bailey used to always sleep...

    Is a kitten formula food really necessary?

    Hi everyone, Sadly, we lost our boy of 12 years, Bailey, to renal failure this past Friday.  I am still in shock and miss him more than words can describe.  He had been doing so incredibly well for a while after his diagnosis, but then he crashed and that was it.

    Apple cider vinegar for kidney stones?

    Has anyone ever successfully tried using apple cider vinegar on a cat with renal stones?  I know it can work in humans to help dissolve and soften the stones, but I have no idea if it would be safe or effective in cats.  We have some Bragg's raw, organic ACV, but I want to be absolutely sure...

    How far would you go for a nearly 12-year-old with kidney stones/failure?

    Hi everyone, I posted another thread on here yesterday about our almost 12-year-old boy, Bailey, who has been at the vet's for just over 24 hours now with several kidney stones and kidney failure.  He suddenly started showing signs of being ill this week and stopped eating, drinking, and...

    Our oldest boy is ill :(

    Hi everyone, I'm glad I found this site.  I guess I'm just looking for some insight.  We have a vet appointment in 2 hours, but until then I'm driving myself crazy looking for possible answers.  Our oldest cat, Bailey, will be 12 years old in September.  We have had him since he was an...
