I would have him tested like said above so you know for sure what you are dealing with. Please don't freak out until you know. it could be just a...

    What breed is my light ginger cat?

    Cats are not categorized by breed unless they are purebreds and have papers. Which the vast majority are not. Purebreds almost always have standard characteristics and colors, such as pointed on the Siamese with blue eyes, smashed face and long hair with the Persian, etc. Cats without proven...

    After a perm disaster over 40 years ago where I looked like a poodle, I have cut and styled my own hair at home. I colored it for many years at home too after seeing how aged my MIL was after letting hers go gray. Now that i am near 70 I don't color it for 6 months at a time, somehow the blond...

    Hi everyone. Post dental concerns.

    Lip smacking and drooling usually indicates nausea. It may be the metacam, that is one of it's biggest side effects. My cats had no pain meds and came through fine, you might call your vet and ask if you can discontinue. As long as he is eating/drinking/using the litter box and not hiding, that...

    Any good garden fertilizerwould do. you don't want a lot of nitrogen, that produces a lot of green growth at the expense of fruiting. I like 10-10-10 or 12-12-12. This is available at most garden centers, I just got mine at Walmart.

    Pretty sure my cat is pregnant

    Yes, a small litter, most likely 2 kittens. Any female cat that is over 4 months and gets access to teh outdoors is most likely pregnant. Remember, she can come into heat again just a couple of weeks after giving birth, so don't let her out. This having endless litters will be her life if you...

    Too much Prozac for my kitty??

    That does seem excessive. Is there an emergency vet you could call, or even another vet to ask? Side effects can include hyperactivity, usually sedation though. DO NOT just stop the med. that may be worse. I have found that vet assistants do read orders wrong and give bottles with wrong doses. I...
