Thanks for your response! I did get a water fountain and you're right, it's been a few days and he hasn't tried to drag it. He splashes it a little bit and also seems to like watching it. I'm looking into more interactive toys I can get him - he LOVES his circular toy with a light-up ball on the...
This is a bit of an odd dilemma. My cat, Milo, is three years old, male, fixed, and an "only pet." I've had him for a year and he's always been obsessed with water. He loves sitting on the ledge of my bath while I take a shower, playing in the tub after I turn off the shower (when it's still a...
Hi everyone. I have a dilemma about what to do with my cat over Thanksgiving. I was originally supposed to take my cat to my boyfriend's parents' house, which is 30 minutes away, for the long weekend. We broke up. Now, I'm heading home for the holiday — it's about a 7-8 hour drive. I have two...
Hi all,
My cat, Milo, has heart worms, which has resulted in breathing difficulties that are being managed by my vet. (This isn't what my question is about, but important background.) He's on prednisolone to help him breathe better, and it has significantly reduced his wheezing, but I noticed...
This past week, I've been coming home from work to find my cat's water bowl on the other side of the kitchen. It's one of those big water bottles that disperses into the bowl and the water bottle was half-full, so that wasn't the issue. I emptied out the bowl, cleaned it out, and refilled it in...
I'm not sure. I think X-Rays do detect adult worms in the cats' lungs (feline heart worms go to lungs, not the heart), but since your cat is so young, the worms might not be full grown yet and might not be detectable on an X-ray. I'd ask your vet if they looked for that in the X-ray — it might...
Thanks so much for your response, I just saw this. I actually adopted Milo from a rescue group — they take cats from a high-kill shelter in another state and then bring them up to my area. I don't think I could have taken him back (not that I would have wanted to do that), but I did contact them...
I know this is a few days old, but have they tested her for heart worms? My cat was breathing about that amount per minute, I took him to the vet and everything was healthy (although we didn't do an X-ray) ....but the blood test for heart worms came back positive. My cat was also coughing...
My childhood cat used to meow my name, Madeline! Her meow when she saw me was completely different than any other meow she ever did. And she was just a typical domestic short hair cat.
I adopted my 2 year old cat about a month ago — he's a sweetheart, very cuddly, I have never heard him hiss, never scratches etc. In the last couple weeks, as he's gotten more comfortable with me and at home, he's started biting. The bites are not very hard (they don't break skin or anything...
I adopted a cat (Milo) last night. He was so sweet and loving, playful, ate, went to the bathroom, etc — but we noticed that when he was resting, he was breathing very quickly. We listened closely, and his breath was raspy. This morning, we took him to the vet who gave him a physical and said he...
I'm adopting a 2 year old cat, Milo, next week. Milo is very skinny — less than 8 pounds, and you can feel his ribs protruding. He came to his current foster mom straight from a shelter, where we're not sure how long he was there, but he was originally a stray. His foster mom feeds him only dry...
