Our house burned down. We are staying with relatives for the foreseeable future: 3-6 months (maybe more). They allowed us to bring our pets with the condition that we do not let them loose in their house unsupervised during the day or while we sleep at night (they’re worried about their...

We recently had a house fire that totally destroyed our home. When getting our pets out I quickly put the cats in their soft-sided carrying bags which contained a harness, leash, brush, and a couple toys for each cat in the pockets on the side. All of these items reek of smoke from the fire. I...

I’m going to be gone for most of a day (around 17 hours, maybe a little longer) and one of my cats will have to be left in a kennel because he has pica and eats carboard, paper/magazines, plastic bags, carpet fibers, loose threads on blankets or towels. I have 2 kennels that I can connect...

I have two indoor only cats. They are both vaccinated annually for rabies and FVRCP. They haven’t been vaccinated for FIV or FeLV, but I’m wondering if i should be. I recently made two new friends and went over to their house for dinner one night. Their two cats are both unaltered. They have...

my almost 8 year old cat had emergency surgery on Thursday afternoon. She came home yesterday and hasn’t eaten hardly anything. She wasn’t eating at all 2 days prior to surgery. So she totally stopped eating sometime on Monday, had surgery Thursday, and came home Friday (so almost four days...

My sister applied aerosol sunscreen to my nephew inside a room where my cats eat and spend a lot of time. I’ve read that suncreen is toxic to cats due to zinc oxide and salicylates. I emptied the food/water bowls and washed them in case any sunscreen floated down into the bowls. I have hardwood...

My seven year old cat has recently developed some bad habits about the litter box. She has been peeing on the floor near the curtains in my kitchen semi-frequently. This is the only spot outside of the litter box that she pees and it’s only occasionally. She only pees outside of the box; there’s...

my sister is wanting me to come visit her. I haven't decided if I'm going to because of how far away she lives/how long I'd be gone. She lives 3 hours away. I figure I'll be gone around 9-11 hours (including driving time). Is this too long to leave my cat without a litter box? I have to leave...

The cat food brand I buy, Nature's Variety Instinct Ultimate Protein, has changed their formula and packaging since I last bought it, and there are a few changes I am concerned about. The packaging is very different (see attached photos- the old packaging is brown and gold, the new packaging is...

I had some guests over tonight that were drinking beer. Two people spilled their drinks when they had a full beer, so anywhere from 0.5-2 full beers were spilled on my carpet (in very close proximity no less; as it it's all touching together in a space less than the size of my larger cat). I've...

My male cat has been very aggressive if I touch his back legs, especially when I try to brush under them. He is neutered if that will have any affect on aggression when you touch a male cats back legs. He's long haired and has been getting mats in his fur betweeen his back legs so I've been...

My cat was standing on my stand for the cable box/DVR and jumped off. The Cable box slid out from under him so he kind of slipped more than jumped. He was aiming for the hope chest about 2 feet (maybe 2.5 feet at the very most) below. He landed on the edge of it on his side and fell The other...

My brother and I are going on a road trip with our parents in their motorhome. I'm bringing my two cats and he's bringing his dog. My dad said he cleaned the upholstery with Tuff Stuff cleaner and then sprayed big spray along the floor. I'm mainly concerned about the cats coming in contact with...

My cat was really constipated so the vet gave him an enema. He had diarrhea on his bum when he got home which I wiped off the best I could. I ended up giving him a bum bath (instead of a full bath). He still has some diarrhea. He long haired so it is clinging to his tail and hind end. I've been...

My troublesome cat ate some string off the loose ends of a blanket. He had been making smaller poops ham normal for the past couple days but I wasn't concerned because he wasn't straining or crying out in pain; since he was still pooping without pain or difficultly I wasn't concerned even though...

My cat is on Clindacure - the main ingredient is clindamycin hcl. It came in a white bottle with blue writing labeled VEDCO with a dropper lid to despinse the liquid medication. He's being treated for a minor gum/teeth issue. The vet said to give 1ml every 24 hours. I know I gave him yesterday's...

What is a good food for my cats? What ingredients should I specifically look for and which ones should I specifically avoid? Should I go grain-free or not? Is chicken (or any other type of) meal bad or okay as an ingredient? Should I avoid foods with fish as an ingredient? Are fruits and...

I was forced to buy my cats a slightly different food than normal. I normally buy then Nature's Variety Instinct Ultimate Protien Chicken flavor. It has no grain and no animal meal. I wasn't able to get to PetSmart to get another bag until the day thy ran out (the nearest PerSmart is 50 miles...

My male cat who just turned one has some spots in his mouth I just noticed. I've only had him for six months and I don't know if they were there when I got him. I attached a photo and circled the areas I was concerned about. He's solid white (I read in an article that a cats color can affect the...

I give both my cats comfortis for their flea prevention. This is their fourth treatment. So far it's been 50/50 them keeping it down/them throwing it up. My vet still believes it's the best flea treatment for them despite the issues with them throwing it up. I give it to them after they've eaten...
