    How much does your vet charge for a dental?

    Eh, I'm looking at 900-1500 for cleaning and extractions, (3-5 exractions)  It really depends on where you live and the quality of the vets (not that all cheaper vet's are bad quality, but in some cities like mine to get much less than this I'd be looking at vet's office where I recently found...

    New Kitty is a Picky Eater

    I see you tried BFF, does the store also carry Weruva? They have a lot of various fish flavours, as well as incredibly popular chicken ones as well (only the pickiest of the pickies refuse all Weruvas, my kitties inhale the stuff, certain flavours are like crack to them)

    Foodless Chewing

    Thanks for the responses. Yeah, it does sound like it's probably dental, he'll be going to the vet's soon, so we'll get proper confirmation of it! Oh goody, Dear Demented Dog-Cat needs Dental!

    Foodless Chewing

    Yeah, I've been suspecting it might be something like gingivitis. Our cats always seem to need dental work! I haven't brought him in for the chewing because he's remained otherwise in full form, including in appetite and ability to chew, and money's been rather tight(thanks to Smudge who had...

    Foodless Chewing

    So, Erik, our deardemented dog-cat, has developed an odd habit that I've been meaning to ask about here for quite a while now. He randomly starts to "chew" air. It's quite noisy, and there's no lip-licking going on. He never has anything in his mouth, nor does it seem to be related to any...

    How to succesfully get a multi-cat family to diet?

    Yeah, I live downtown so a lot of the things such as walmart are way out of my way. We don't do costco either. But I believe the local pet food store has the nutro max, and they might have or be able to order the chicken soup. I'll try and pop over there tomorrow to see what they have in...

    greens

    Cats often love a bit of grass to chew too. It can help with their digestion (or as is so often the case help them throw up) Our cats go wild whenever we come home with a pot of cat grass, and the all take turns having a bit, or in the case of some our nuttier ones, grooming it.

    How to succesfully get a multi-cat family to diet?

    Currently the 6 of them eat out of one giant food dish, a large dog sized dish with the silo with kibble up top. I have a hard time even imagining 7 dishes, because what self-respecting cat sticks to their own dish? None of ours, that's for sure We do have a long narrow dish that mother...

    How to succesfully get a multi-cat family to diet?

    Oh of course, I knew there were details I was missing! :P We're feeding 6 of them the Iams weight formula... We have a local pet food store (literally a block from here) that sells a lot of the natural brands such as the wellness and others, but generally we tend to go for the convenience of...

    How to succesfully get a multi-cat family to diet?

    We've got 7 cats, all very different in so many ways, but unfortunately they all now share one common thing - they're all overweight. Their ages range from 8-14, and they're all domestic mutt cats, and they're all indoor kitties. Most of them are overall fairly healthy aside from the weight, a...

    Mimi, the problem child

    Well, we took her to the vet's today and we got her anti-biotics, they unfortunately couldn't take a urine sample for the UTI test, because she's got too much fat to find the bladder without much difficulty, especially as there was basically nothing in it as she peed a few times on the drive to...

    Mimi, the problem child

    Yes, I believe it's UTI that she's recently developed because last time she was at the vet's she was checked and was just fine, her peeing was just her way of acting out at the time, but today I woke up to find 4 pees on the bed, two of which had blood in them, for the first time. Our vet...

    Mimi, the problem child

    Alright, so Mimi, a 10 year old fixed female cat, who was an only cat for 9 of her years, has lived with us for over a year now. She has always been our "problem child", (although we've learned to love her to bits anyways) and has been know to pee outside her litter before, and such, we've...

    Old, but missing in action for many many months

    Hello! I once again totally forgot about this place... I've missed it! I just got a digicam today, so I've been playing around quite a bit, and I've added many pictures to my catster profiles! This is Smu: http://www.catster.com/?142201 I'm too lazy to go back and post the rest, however, so...

    Fattest Cat Alive

    My grandmother has a cat almost as big. She didn't try to make him fat, and has in fact tried to get him more excercise and a diet, but to no avail, and the vet has found nothing wrong with him, aside from obesity. He was a young lively, healthy male cat, but he turned into a lazy cat, who is...

    Feliway?

    No, you're not supposed to smell it. You'll notice it's working if your cat's behaviour or temperment seems to change significantly

    do your kittens suck?

    My father's cat Frankie is 17 years old, and has a thing for suckling his old house coat, to this very day!

    eye contact??

    Hell, my cats have lived together all their lives, and more or less get along fine, but they sometimes fight too. As long as the poor dog isn't feeling totally terrorized, and doesn't seem to have any SERIOUS scratches, I wouldn't worry. Your pussycat's just trying to establish who's boss...
