WEll, if in fact my kitties are experiencing a result from Advantage, the week ot two weeks you mentioned fits. In a way I almost hope this turns out to be the case (with no long term serious problems of course!) because then in about 5 days all will go back to normal here!? 2 of my seven just...

My best wishes and heart is with you----the best to you and Sadie that this is just a small bumb and nothing serious.

Yes, my kitty Blue (1 1/2) also growls with certain toys. His sister Samantha also did this, but only when playing with a feather attachment to an interactive toy. None of the other kitties seem to mind him in the least when he is doing this, so they must understand it's just play!? (Blue is...

Last Friday I wrote about sudden agression among former friends--one common thread of advice was to take the attackee to the vet. We had the vet appt. last night, and the attackee is totally fine--the vet ran a white count and a blood profile, did temperature, weight, exam etc. So Blue (the...

Thank you for the book recommendation, I just placed an order for that, plus Twisted Whiskers (Pam J-Bennett) and treated myself to another Pam J-B book that is suppose to be purely entertaining -- Hiss and Tell: True Stories from the Files of a Cat Shrink -- BEcause heaven knows I sure could...

How long after the application did the angry reaction occur, and how long did it last. Tomorrow the attackee is going to the vet for both a check up and for me to talk to the vet about the entire situation. After that, I will be taking the rest a couple at a time (or as the vet advises)...

Has anyone out there experienced any side effects from using Advantage? Specifically any behavior changes? If so, how soon and what type? SEcondly, has anyone experienced any kind of other physical side effects--such as the cold symptoms/sneezing I posted under "do cats get colds". My cats...

Can kitties get colds? And can it be transmitted by a person from one cat to another? I was away and my sitter came to feed and love my 7 kitties. She is certified and very good--so I am nearly sure she would always sanitize between households. But my kitties are all indoors--so if in fact...

Thanks, I have already made an appointment with my vet for as soon as she gets in town, Tuesday afternoon. She is a cat only vet and very very knowledgeable and I suspect will have much good advice and anecdotes. She is also the owner of over 10 kitties herself (all adoptees as well). In the...

Oh yes, they are all spayed and neutered; all were done early in kittenhood. The ages are: 5 kittens (the 5 rescued litter from the fair-3 females, 2 males) aprox. 1 1/2 years old. The 2 original adoptees 1 male 1 female, turned two years old in December -- they are not brother and sister...

I am the owner of 7 kitties. 5 are sister and brothers who we adopted/rescued from being indiscriminantly given away or left behind at the county fair in 2004. 2 were adopted rescues from a local no kill animal compassion network of foster homes. The 5 kittens were very very slowly...

I read all the advice and plan to print it out from the peeing inappropriately string. However, I still need to address the specifics of this situation. I have 7 kitties. 5 from the same litter (rescued last Sept. from a local fair), and 2 were rescues from a farm (not littermates). For the...

Hi all, Just wanted to let you all know, Bobby's itching has subsided quite a bit. And I have yet to decide what it was I wanted to do about the itching. What I have notice, however, is that most all the kitties are itching occassionally, so I"m going back to the flea search. Plus, I also got...

Wow, and I was thinking my 7 were quite a hand full. I can now at least imagine having 10 kitties. It's amazing what we can do when we love them so much! I'm a "newbie" too, but welcome!

Thank you all for being interested in my kitties. I haven't figured out how to attach pictures. Any instructions, either on how or where to get the answer, would be appreciated! Thanks
