    What litter works for your asthmatic cat?

    Oh no, I'm silly. I meant owners that have asthmatic cats, not owners that are asthmatic. Then again, both might yield good info...

    What litter works for your asthmatic cat?

    My cat has cat asthma, and was on medicine for some time - inhalers. I don't know why I thought to change litters, but I did, and I ended up using pine pellets. This 100% reduced any symptoms. She literally had no asthma attacks. 3-4 years later and another cat, I actually ended up switching...

    How do I find and treat cat urine smell effectively, while ensuring the problem doesnt exist later?

    I got a new cat, the same age as my first cat. Both girls, age around 5-6. I've had her for about a month or a little over, and all is well. They were introduced fast, and were kept separate when I was away / sleeping. I use the modified breeze tidycat litter system () for both cats. My first...

    Cat is peeing on *everything* absorbent. Why? Is it a training thing or a health issue?

    I've been noticing for the past few weeks my cat alternates between peeing a lot, and not peeing a lot. Some days she will spend a minute swiping in the litter box (and thus, tracks litter like CRAZY), and some days shes in and out. Some days she drinks a ton of water, some days she doesnt. Some...

    Cat Taking Appetite Stimulant, Won't Stop Meowing After Eating All Her Food At 8am...

    My cat is taking a medication for asthma, and it seems to be helping, but at the same time theres a huge appetite stimulant side effect that took place almost immediately. I give my cat 40g of food every day, in the morning. Typically when I've had enough of her meowing because she eats all of...

    How Do I Train My Cat For Using An Inhaler?

    So basically clipping will get allegedly calm my cat, and hopefully will stay still enough for me to give her a puff? Do you recommend a brand of clip? The ones I saw off amazon had poor reviews, said the spring was too harsh and felt they'd hurt the cat.

    How Do I Train My Cat For Using An Inhaler?

    My cat is super laid back too just really skittish when shes not (does that make her not laid back?) What do you mean by cat clips? Whenever I get her in a position she kicks her legs, made me bleed. Its just me unfortunately. I think the vet made it clear it was either this or steroids, and...

    How Do I Train My Cat For Using An Inhaler?

    Cat has been using steroids for the past 3 months or so (not permanent, just using the bottle slowly and slowly) but lately the effect has been getting worse - what was maybe one pill every 1 day to 2 days to 3 days to 4 days is now back to once a couple days. Pollen in air seems low so Im not...

    Best Cat Litter For A Cat With Mild Asthma?

    I've switched from Scoop Away to Arm&Hammer to Worlds Best Cat Litter but I haven't found anything I'm 100% happy with. Was hoping you guys can give me some advice based off what I'm looking for. 1) No dust, so probably no clay-based 2) Scented enough that I can't tell if I have a litter box...

    Possible Asthmatic Cat ... What Should I Know For Treatment?

    The litter actually might be more dusty. I moved from scoopy away to arm & hammer (think those are the brand names) and although Im not sure how long ago I switched (maybe 1-2 months ago), the past few weeks the symptoms have increased. I am not especially good on vacuuming my place and dusting...

    Possible Asthmatic Cat ... What Should I Know For Treatment?

    Hi everyone, My cat displays symptoms of asthma, and over the past couple weeks it's gotten way more frequent, about a couple times a week) to maybe a couple times a day, however the duration of the symptoms isn't. The classic hairball/asthma debate where cat owners say the cats crouch like...

    Cat Isn't Eating Much Of Her Regular Kibble, But Eats Her Dry Treats?

    I'm pretty afraid of giving her wet food right before I travel during Christmas. I planned on getting a service to come in every day to stop by and make sure the little one is okay and doesn't hate me (probably will). As an update, I went to the vet, they said her bloodwork was okay, they...

    Cat Isn't Eating Much Of Her Regular Kibble, But Eats Her Dry Treats?

    So with my cat still liking her salmon treats, and not eating her regular kibble, yesterday I got her salmon turkey and chicken fancy feast. I gave her the salmon last night, and she just devoured it within minutes. She ate half her chicken this morning so I had to give her some treats, and...

    Cat Isn't Eating Much Of Her Regular Kibble, But Eats Her Dry Treats?

    I'll keep an eye out for fancy feast then! For my cat who is about 10.5 lbs, would you say 1 3oz can in the morning and one 3oz can when I come back from work will be decent? Yeah maybe a blood panel isn't that bad of an idea. They're probably sick of me by now but when it comes to my cat I...

    Cat Isn't Eating Much Of Her Regular Kibble, But Eats Her Dry Treats?

    Do you have a brand you'd recommend that I can get at any grocery store? I plan on going today and I can get a few cans. If wet food is the way to go (in general) I'll start weening her off dry food. Is it that much more expensive than dry kibble? Yeah that's definitely weird to me. I started...
