I've wondered about her lack of reaction to the fosters. But stopping taking them isn't something I want to do. We have so many feral cats and virtually no one wants to take them in. And some of them are so sick that I'm convinced that not taking them would be a death sentence. But I like your...
I use Felaway but no luck. The vet suggested it and I've given it about the months, but I have vanilla paste. It's natural so I'm going to try it on both Smokey and Magic. Thanks for the suggestion.
I suspect you're right but I don't know what I can do to help her. Smokey has become violent and fights with Magic. She hisses at her, tries to swat her, and bites her if she can. My older cat was the bully and did the same things to everyone and everything, including me. And now that she's gone...
She changed the minute she realized that her older sister wasn't coming home (after a stroke, the vet and I helped her cross the Rainbow Bridge). The older cat hated everybody and everything and she let everyone know it. Smokey was the typical "middle child." She tried so hard to be perfect...
UPDATE: She seems to be better. Her spirits are good. She is playful and seems happier. She has two food bowls (her normal kibble and a bowl of wet food suggested by the vet). She has begun eating both (although she prefers her kibble) and has had no "cow pattie" stools in four days. She...
I contacted the vet today and spoke with the vet tech about these suggestions. He did not endorse any of them but said if the change in diet didn't work, to bring her back in two weeks. So I'm counting down the days.
Thanks. Even though she doesn't strain or exhibit any signs of stress, FIC certainly fits her symptoms. I've switched her to a wet breakfast but I keep her dry food out for her to nibble on during the day. I think I'll call the vet and get a prescription so I can order her a supply of canned...
My 10 year old indoor spayed female cat has had blood in her urine for a couple of months. She seems to vacillate between feeling good, being playful, eating and drinking well, and being listless, and not eating or drinking. Her stools are usually good but she occasionally has "cow patties"...
I give my cat Orijen or Acana dry cat food as treats. It's the finest cat food in the world so I don't consider it junk food for cats and some varieties are available in 10 oz. packages, just filling my treat jar. I just wish I could afford to feed it to her all the time, but I can't.
She...
We're into flea season here and since I have a severe allergy to flea bites, I have to treat my cat in some way. So what do people here recommend as a safe and effective flea preventative?
I really wish one of my family members or friends would agree to take my cat if she should survive me. But they refuse. And it's not because of her behavior. They all have excuses so the bottom line is that she's likely to become a senior shelter cat and will have no chance at another loving...
