    Litter box obsession?? I don't get it!

    Thanks so much!!! I have been doing some reproach I too think it is stress related. We have been gone for the past few days, I normally stay home so I think this change in daily routine made her upset. She is fine now that I have been home all day. I will keep a close eye on her. If I notice any...

    Does anyone else choose not to vaccinate?

    Thank you for your post. You raise a good point, vaccines will not protect your cat from everything. My cats are indoors and scared to death of the outside. The only way they would get out is if there was a natural act of God disaster. In that event we would have a lot to worry about besides the...

    New Member and a predicament.

    Thanks. I read the legal acts and did not see anything about beheading the cat but rather a quarantine at home for an extended period of time. Thank you so much for finding this for me, it was a great help.  I did find a yet in town that is vaccine conscious, she does not believe in over...

    Does anyone else choose not to vaccinate?

    I have heard a lot about Vitality Science on this site. I am new, so can you tell me what they are? Are they a online vet service or a pet food company?  Thanks.  I also worry about the rare event of my cats scratching or biting someone and they report the bite or scratch to the medical...

    ok, thank you so much. I did some more calls today and I found a vet who is vaccination conscious. she understands the problems that they can cause an does not see the need to over vaccinate. in addition, they understand my situation about Indy and will do what they can based on his temperament...

    Does anyone else choose not to vaccinate?

    My male cate is the same way. He is terrified of people he does not know and he get terribley stressed when we have people over.  He had his kitten shots, had a bad reaction that almost killed him and has never gone back since.  I just worry that I am making the wrong decision because if he is...

    New Member and a predicament.

    Hi Mrsgreenjeans, I have thought about that. I am afraid that NOT taking him may be my only option. I cannot say that he is aggressive but he definitely only likes his people. He runs from guests and when forced to mingle with them he gets very upset. Taking him to a vet will only force him to...

    New Member and a predicament.

    ok, thanks. I just called the vet that I want to take him to and they said that if he bites the vet he would be euthanized, his head cut off and his brain examined to make sure that he does not have rabies. I had no idea that not taking to the vet after he had the first reaction to the rabies...

    New Member and a predicament.

    Here is another question that came to my mind. If I can get past the rabies vaccine battle, would it be risky to take him in since he is behind on the vaccines? I am kind of afraid to take him in because he has not had any vaccines in Years, could I take in a perfectly healthy cat and bring home...

    Why is avoiding fishy flavored foods recommended?

    ok, thanks that does make this more clear. My cats love fish, in fact when ever I open a can of tuna I am harassed and fussed at till I give them some.

    New Member and a predicament.

    what canned or wet food is healthiest to feed older cats?

    Thanks, my cats will eat Friskies and whiskers pretty well. But since they are from walmart I was not sure how healthy they were for them. I tried 9 lives, they ate it ok and it is hit or miss with Fancy Feast. I did not want to continue to feed them Friskies or Whiskas until I was sure it was...
