Hi.
How are your breeding male cats kept?
A friend of mine has been pet sitting for a Bengal breeder. The breeding Tom is kept alone all the time. He has a Catio for daytime and an area in the garage at night, but he doesn’t get any attention or socializing other than the transfer from...
I have had Cheetah 14 years. I have had Omypaw 3 years. They were slowly introduced over a span of about 3 to 4 months.
Cheetah is about 7lbs with health issues snd Omypaw is a robust 12 lbs. Omypaw is about 3 to 4 years old. He was a stray. Friendly and outgoing. No fear of anything. Extremely...
This morningI am going over to help a family catch a feral cat that’s living in an apartment. This is a 8 month old kitten that was trapped during bad weather with his sister. They are moving and found a home for the kittens as barn cats. The female sister at was trapped two days ago and is in...
Hi. I am wondering what your kitten selling policies are. Do you neuter first? Do you microchip? Is that all things the purchaser is supposed to do?
These questions came about when a Bengal cat was recently found with no chip and intact. The only breeder I have known is a veterinarian who would...
So, driving to work this morning, I had a head on collision with a van. My little Focus never stood a chance. After that I come home to find out that the temporary home I had set up for a lost Bengal fell through. I am not happy, but things work out, so I will just wait for it,
Just wanted to...
Hi, I have very minimal reproduction experience in cats. Or, any species really.
Cat had kittens first time. 6 kittens total, all doing well. Sixth kitten is a runt and still has placenta attached. Mom cat is not cleaning it at all. Kitten is still dragging around placenta after 4 hours. Kitten...
Hi. Anyone have any ideas on this?
3 yr old obese neutered male, fairly healthy.
13 yr old spayed female cat with multiple health issues and underweight.
She has to eat Royal Canin limited antigen diet rabbit canned only. She can only eat small amounts at each sitting and I feed her whenever...
Hi. My current vets know nothing about diets etc. My cat has IBD and suspected intestinal lymphoma. She has done well on the Royal Canin canned restricted protein rabbit. venison, or duck. All of it is back ordered from the manufacturer and I need to find an alternative. I have tried raw before...
This is it!! I have finally been pushed over the edge of sanity by ANTS!! I haven’t slept, I can’t eat, all I do is battle these ANTS!! They are winning. I am defeated by ANTS!! My cats have been locked up in their room all day for safety. Cats are confused and disturbed. They are also...
Cheetah is 14 yrs 6.5lb. Fs previously feral cat I have had indoor only since she was 4 months old. She lived peacefully with Rusty my cat who I had to have euthanized at 17y in 2017.

I am starting a new job in about 10 hours and am super nervous about it for some reason. I am going to be working at an emergency hospital, the swing shift. Don't know why I am stressing this. I have done emergency before. I know what I am doing. But, I am older now and the shifts are brutal. It...
Hi. I just wanted to warn anyone with a cat who has sudden neurological signs to check for cryptococcus. It is an easy, although expensive blood test.
At work last week we had a very sweet family with a very sweet cat come in as an emergency with circling and unsteady gate. Signs appeared after...
Just a word of caution to all feeding home cooked or raw diets. Make sure you have your calcium to phosphorus ratio correct.
Had a 4 month old f1 Savannah come in for lameness in the hind end. Radiographs showed almost translucent bones and multiple fractures. We euthanized. Very sad case. He...
Hi.
I would be happy to never see another cat die from lillies. It’s a horrible death and the plants are so toxic.
I think all lillies sold need to have warning labels on them. Signs should be posted anywhere they are sold. I don’t know how to go about getting something like this started. Any...
