Our cat Monte has started displaying a few new behaviors that have us a bit concerned. We WILL be discussing this with our vet to rule out medical problems. I am just wondering if anyone reading this post has had similar problems, or can offer behavioral tips. 1. He digs in the litterbox for a...

I'm so glad to read the good news! Thanks for the update.

In trying to figure out how to manage some troubleing cat behaviors in our house, without knowing anything else to try, we used the more punitive measures first (i.e. squirt bottles, nose taps, etc.). We found them to ultimately be counter-productive with our fur-babies. We inadvertently and...

And here's Monte!

We just heard from the vet, who says Zoey can come home next Sunday. She had to have a larger than average dose of Radioactive Iodine, so she has to stay longer than we had hoped to let the radiation decay. I'm going to try to post pic of our cats if I can, that way those of you following the...

Chele, I'm sure you read this elsewhere in the thread, but because of our experiences I'd like to repeat the suggestion that you also make a veterinary appointment for Stevie, if you have the means. If we had only taken Monte (our aggressive cat) to the vet, our Zoey's serious illness might...

Hmmm. Some of this sounds all too familiar (as you would see if you checked out my thread, "Help, we can't keep him if he keeps attacking"...but that's another story!) I'm sorry to hear about Mr. Bean's eye...sure hope he doesn't develop any more problems with it. I just thought I would add a...

When we got our tuxedo cat Monte from a rescue organization he was COVERED with dandruff, which worried me because I am at least mildly allergic to cat dander! He now has a beautiful coat - shiny and dandruff free -- he gets lots of compliments on it. The dandruff probably had two causes in...

Thanks so much to everyone who has taken interest in this thread! I wanted to update anyone who is still interested in our progress. Once we put Zoey on the correct dosage of Methamazole (generic for Tapazole, which is probably the most commonly used hyperthyroid medication), she turned into a...

I've already shared my opinion on this topic, but in recognition of the many various opinions that exist surrounding the issues of safe and healthy nutrition for cats, especially as concerns pork and lamb, here are some quotes I have gleaned from various sources that claim to be more...

Our furbabies eat Feline Future's Instinct-TC food (a powder which, mixed with salmon oil, water and select fresh raw muscle and organ meat, creates a balanced diet.) We switched to raw diets after trying Nuto-max, a Waltham Rx diet, Science Diet Naturals, and other excellent, high-quality foods...
