Some ear mite treatments recommend putting 10 drops of warm olive oil in each of the cat’s ears before treating the ears with ear mite medicine.  The olive oil is supposed to help loosen and clean out ear wax and ear gunk.  However, when I read the instructions on the ear mite medicine bottle...

That's a really good idea.  I'll try that.  Thanks so much.  Alicia Acconcio, Molokai, Hawaii

Is there any way to stop my cat from destroying the front door mat?   Alicia Acconcio in Molokai, Hawaii

Thanks for the heads up on not getting a puncture wound stitched up by the vet.  You're right, the best approach is to let it drain and heal on it's own.  Thanks again.

I’d be interested to know if anyone has a recommendation on a good outdoor cat house.  It does not have to be heated.  It’s for a warm, but rainy climate in Molokai, Hawaii.  Thank you.

Hi Mrs. Green Jeens, Thanks for your reply.  I'm glad to say, he's recovered fully.  You're right, it most likely a cat bite.  Fortunately, we don't have any snakes at all in Hawaii.  Thank you again.  Alicia Acconcio, Molokai, Hawaii

My male tabby has a puncture wound on his tail.  I have cleaned the wound with Povidone Iodine and soaked it in Hydrogen Peroxide and it seems to be healing well.  The cat is eating and, although subdued, seems to be recovering well.  I'll  keep watching for signs of infection and take him to...

I have a clever cat.  I live on Molokai, Hawaii, and I'd be interested in devices to keep a really smart cat entertained.   Thanks.

I live on Molokai, Hawaii and a few years ago  I took in a stray cat that had obviously been starving.  Now, he’s incredibly healthy but overweight.  As is often the case with ferals and strays that have been starved for food, they can’t seem to loose the instinct to eat as much as possible...

I have a healthy male short-haired orange  tabby cat on Molokai, Hawaii that has recurrent bouts of hair ball coughing fits.   This is not a cat who will endure being brushed or combed.  I’ve read that 1 tablespoon of mineral oil once a week will help; however, it’s almost impossible to...

Hi - thanks for the tip on Dr. Goodpet's webpage.  They carry a chewable multivitamin for cats that's exactly what I was looking for.  Vitamins for cats helps them to get the extra nutrients that their cat food might not supply.  Thanks again.

I’m looking for a chewable cat multi vitamin with catnip.  The brand I’m using now is too hard to get.  Does anyone have a recommendation and where to purchase?  Thanks.

Thanks for all the tips I received about other brands of nutritious dry cat food other than Purina Complete.  I agree that it might not have enough protein content, though I 'm glad that Purina doesn’t use ingredients from China.  On the other brands recommended (Alley Cat, Meow Mix, Whiskas...

Ducman69, thanks for your very helpful and detailed reply.  I frequently find stray cats near my work and home, and some of these are wild.  I put out dry food and water, get them better, and then take them in for spaying or neutering.  So I need some brand of dry food, but I want it to be...
