    That's true, as for the tumor it was/is a fatty tumor per the vet. Seems like all my cats have had them by the time they reach old age in cat years. Sabrina is near 11 years old.. so don't know why either with the tumor disappearing unless she has some kind of a allergy to something in the dry...

    Stopped All Dry Food.. Amazing Changes In Cat

    My girl Sabrina is over weight but seemingly healthy. She had a full hysterectomy at 2 and had no hormone replacement so all the food was going into body weight. Once in a while she will have trouble peeing so I take about 1/4 of a 250mg. Vitamin C tablet, no extras just straight V-C and add...

    How Far Along Is My Cat

    I had a cat who had kittens and she had 5 and then it was a full day and a half before the final one was born. I had to take her to the vet to get a shot to stimulate her so she would go back into labor. It took 4 hrs. after the shot. I am sorry about losing your babies baby, kittens are so...

    Comment by 'charking' in article 'How To Keep Ants Out Of Cat Food'

    I have ants most of the time, I welcome them, for reasons I will not go into that on this site but suffice to say, they are more welcome than pests for me. But in the issue of cat food, I agree they love cat food but what I do and most people I know now do, I take a small paper plate, put it...

    Pre Probiotic good or bad

    Thank you. I was just concerned due to the sugar content. My cats will eat some canned food but prefer Royal Carin SO as that is what they were raised on for crystal issues. I wish they would eat meat, raw or cooked or egg or anything. My female will not touch anything unless its  out of a can...

    Pre Probiotic good or bad

    I decided to get a pre probiotic for my cat after talking with the vet and we decided to see if this might help his digestive issues. Since the problem began when I changed his food and even changing it back did not help.  So we are trying the pre probiotics before we do more extensive and...

    Another cat diet question, cat has chronic loose stools / diarrhea

    That is what the PUMPKIN is for, it stops the diarrhea and that stopped the problem.  Cat food often will not do that also if they have the constipation, it will stop that as well. Hope this helps.  I have used it on my cats as needed for years.  The last time I used it, I thought I would let...

    Another cat diet question, cat has chronic loose stools / diarrhea

    I am sorry it should be 2 Tablespoons of the Pumpkin to start and 2 T every 12 hours ...I would not use more than 4 Tablespoons in a 24 hour period. My 2 boys were feral and had been fixed but living on bird seed when I found them at about 6-8 months.. needless to say, what went in, came  out...

    Another cat diet question, cat has chronic loose stools / diarrhea

    Apparently you have had the cats checked out so I will share what has worked for me in the past. Go to the store and buy a regular size can of PURE PUMPKIN nothing like pumpkin pie mix it has to be PURE PUMPKIN with no additive's. LIBBYS or JACK IN THE BEANSTALK seem to be best, any brand will...

    Using Peppermint Oil To Repel Insects Is it Safe For Cats

    Thanks the vet said pretty much what you told me.  He said if the oil spray is not where they can ingest it and its dry by the time they are around it, it should be fine but be sure they don't lick it when its wet. I appreciate all your help and the responses of the group. Slept on the sofa...

    Using Peppermint Oil To Repel Insects Is it Safe For Cats

    I am thinking based on what you said if I am only top of inside of drapes,  spraying furniture and rugs and bottom of sofa ceilings corners etc It would be ok, also since they are not ingesting it and it will be dry by the time they come in from outside it should be safe I will call my vets...

    Thanks yes he is lucky and the laser treatments are really helping and the good thing is they do not need an appt. they only take about 5 minutes and its $25.00 per treatment.  The first treatment he was jumping up on the sofa within a hour. So hopefully that will allow him to clean himself...
