    How do you tape a cat's foot to keep him from scratching a wound.

    I would def try the snuggy....why didn't the vet give you a cone/e-collar when the foot was bandaged? This would avoid both the bandaging being pulled off, and him licking at sutures. Just a thought, but maybe you can call the vet and schedule a recheck, hopefully at no cost, to have them place...

    Will they ever get along?

    I know how you feel, I'm having the exact same problem right now! Laz is growling whenever Soleil walks by him, is near him, looks at him, etc. But now he's also taking it out on Jubbs whenever he walks by as well. There's been no big scraps, a few chases ending in hissing, growling, and...

    Cat scratching left eye

    My one boy has a skin issue, also environmental...we give him 1 reactine tablet a day (5 mg) and it has helped ALOT! Not saying to just do that, get an Rx from your vet first... We also had him on a 3 week course of pred, which cleared everything up. Your guy could just be an agressive groomer...

    Best Shampoo for a Devon Rex?

    The devon I'm getting is actually an adoption/ rescue (not from a bad situation, just desperately seeking a home due to childrens allergies), she's 9 years old. No one would take her because of her "interesting" look, and I've always wanted a devon or sphynx. And I like the fact that she's a...

    New Cat Picking on Older Cat - Advice Needed!

    This is how my two "play" as well! The funny thing is...it's most always Jubbs initiating the play, he's pretty spunky for a 13 year old! When Lazarus gets annoyed by him, he'll usually hiss, ending the play time. However, I think Lazarus has made himself alpha-cat, and this is just fine with...

    That smell...

    Awww, poor gal! As a vet assistant, I HATE seeing cats do this, breaks my heart! I usually take a clean litter box, or cut down a cardboard box, put a blanket in it, and put it in the cage as well. I'll usually stick a blanket/towel up over the cage door to block their view of the "chaos" around...

    Vet says "put him down;" Need your advice

    Oh my goodness, what a scare this must have been! Thankfully it's over, and Charlie is doing well! This vet really scares me...such a shady diagnosis and odd care tactics puts up a big red flag! For a cat to be diagnosed with "possible rabies", and allowed to return home where if he could be...

    Easter Lily Warning!

    Haha, lucky for me, every plant I've ever owned seems to die! No matter how much care I give it! Thank you for posting the poisonous plants list, a great link to be saved just incase I ever try to grow anything again!

    sphynx cats on CL-Ann Arbor, MI

    I think a strong reference from their veterinarian would be more important to me than a money fee (unless it was somehow refunded to the owner with proof of a vet visit, etc) That really scares me...when the money should go to getting supplies for the new pet, not to an owner trying to rid...

    omg I found my dead cat

    I'm so, so sorry this happened to you. Could it have been possible heart failure? My boy Spliff passed away in Dec from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart, basicaly), and we never saw any symptoms until he had his first bout of heart failure and survived, but the day he passed, he was...

    Does your indoor cat wear a collar?

    We don't have collars on our boys, but we had them both microchipped. I wish I could get them to wear them, but they both freak out, and jubbs got his front paw stuck in it once for god knows how long!

    Sign For Door To Rescue Cats In Case Of Emergency?

    We lived in a large apartment building for years and just used one of the decal stickers on our door (With landlords permission) stating we had 2 cats inside. I'm sure that would be fine to do, as long as you ask permission!

    Any opinions on the Catit Fresh and Clear water fountain?

    I've never tried the catit fountains, but we recently bought the Drinkwell 360. It is absolutely HUGE! Really, the bottom bowl looks like something a great dane would drink from! It's very quiet, but I do have to clean it out every few days (being plastic, it gets slightly slimy, and I'm a...

    Best Shampoo for a Devon Rex?

    Hi all! It's been a while since I've posted (busy busy busy!). If anyone read my rainbow bridge post a while back, we lost our one cat Spliff to HCM. We then adopted a big old tom who has food allergies, and we're now about to adopt a 9 year old devon rex from a home that has to give her up due...
