    found a newborn

    I am not too worried about the heat pad. It is the same one I used for Leah. I have a thick towel doubled over on top of it and the pad set on low so even where the little guy is laying when I pick him up is just barely warm. I have him with me at work today so I can feed him all throughout...

    Dog question...

    I used to breed Shelties. They are a very sweet breed of dog. I had our bitch in the house with our cats and never once had a problem with them even when she had a litter. When she died I just did not have the heart to get another one and quit breeding. I now have a Min Pin that I rescued...

    Call me blonde (which I am), call me ignorant (most likely) but I have no idea what a 6 is. Can you tell me? I have seen this reference a couple of times.

    Upper Respitory Infection & Ringworm

    Not familiar with kitties and URI but I am familiar with kities and ringworm. My kitty still has it. My vet said it can take 6 weeks to get rid of. He put her on amoxicilan and cream. She was doing great so he said take her off the amox and just do the cream. She broke out worse than...

    Well Loki is on a Diet...

    We had to put one of the dogs on a low cal food. He hated it and would sneak to the other dogs bowl and grab a huge mouthful and run back to his and dump it in. It was hard to get after him when you are laughing so hard!! Now he keeps steeling the cats food!! Hope your transition with loki...

    Need advice as a new owner of 4wk old abandon kitten.

    I have a kitten with the same problem. I found a glove at the pet store in the cat toy section that has really long fingers and balls in the end. When she wants to play with hands I put that on. Plus we are teaching her the word 'no'. My older cat learned 'no' and he knows when he is doing...

    The growth is back

    At my cats yearly checkup last year we noticed a growth on my cats side. The vet messed with it and it just peeled off. She said is looked like calcuim deposits??? The expence in our area is just to much for us to send it away for analysis. The vet said not to worry about it unless it comes...

    Need advice as a new owner of 4wk old abandon kitten.

    Good luck with your new Kitty!!! Can I assume that Snowman is White? Maybe not a safe assumption. Your post reminded me of when my mom and I rescued a white cat one time that was filthy when we found her. She was very agreeable to being bathed so Mom and I bathed and bathed her to get her...

    Time for Sr Feed?

    Yes it does make sense and Thank you. To be honest though Luke has never been an active cat. His favorite past time is finding a better hiding place to take a nap. I have always been concerned about him getting overweight because of his inactivity but the vet always says that he is a...

    Do you "free feed" your cats?

    Luke has been my only cat for years and he can only eat the dry food. The canned food gives him a tummy ache but he LOVES it. So like on his birthday and at Christmas he gets a tiny can. I marked free feed only because of how rarely he gets canned food added.

    Kitten eating the cats food???

    Unfortunately his food is left out for him all day long. He just eats when he feels like it. He makes up his own schedule. "no one will tell me when to do what I want. I get petted when I want it. I get food when I want it. I come out of hiding when you call only if it pleases me. Just...

    this is stupid...but

    I have a cat that looks fat but is not according to the vet and two other cats that look anorexic but again according to the vet are fine. Usually if I am worried about their size I just check with the vet. (Obviously I am lousy at determining their correct size myself) (Maybe I should...

    Time for Sr Feed?

    I was in the Kitten health sections with questions about my Kitten when someone said something about changing an adult cat to Sr feed when they turn 7. My cat is 7 or 8 (sorry can't remember which) and I have been feeding him science diet adult since he was about 2 and we discovered he had...

    Oh Dear! Kitten Adopter Wants to De-Claw

    Keeping a cat off of the sofa!!!! You did the right thing. How can you snuggle with your kitty if he can't get on the sofa? I can't imagine trying to keep any of my pets off of the furniture. They are all lap pets, cats and dogs alike. Your kitten would not have been happy in that house...
