    Pooka, my baby

    Monday we are putting Pooka to sleep. She has suffered with IBD and Pancreatitis for years, and I have helped her get through it. I made her her own food, gave her meds, her own bed for when she wasn't sleeping with me at night....everything I could. A week ago she stopped eating, I force fed...

    I have 5 cats, 3 females and 2 males, all fixed. Well the most recent addition Sam has this pretty disturbing habit of mounting and humping blankets, clothes and sometimes our legs under the sheets.

    Mucus poop?

    My cat Lexi just passed some mucus poo, like literally pure clearish brown mucus. Quite gross. I have noticed she has lost a bit of weight too but i thought that was from the stress of moving. She is indoor only, could it be worms?

    My mom has been trying unsuccesfully for over 6 months now to tame a little black and white cat we call Sweetie who visits us. She is very skittish and will not let anyone touch her.

    My parents cat Mishka has an issue where he grooms his chest furiously whenever he is pet below his shoulder blades. This isnt really an issue in terms of being hurtful to him in anyway, I was just curious as to why he does it.

    Wellness Core, good/bad?

    I am feeding my cats wellness core and I was wondering what the arguments are for/against such a high protein non-grain food. I have noticed my two youngest cats have gotten a little bit of an odor...but that could be because its time for their twice yearly bath too . My older cats are both 7...

    Questions about supplements

    So I wrote a while back about my cat Pooka. She has a very sensitive stomach and will get loose stools with most foods. The only food that works is Sheba Select Cuts(the one in the tub).

    Sheba Premium Cuts as only food?

    Ok, my cat Pooka has had diarrhea for about a year now. We thought it was cause she had bad teeth but after she had those fixed she still persisted with constant loose stool.

    Food Allergy?

    My cat Pooka has had diarrhea for a long time now(on and off about a year). It is really awful smelling and we for the longest time thought it was because of her teeth being infected.

    My cat Cricketa has a small(size of celery seed)lump in the inner outside corner of her lower eyelid. I am not too concerned because she seems to be feeling fine, and there is no discharge really, just normal black kitty eye crustys from time to time. I was just wondering what it could be. I am...
