Thanks! At this point we're hoping for a miracle.

My girl Isis is 14. A few months ago she began acting very odd and antisocial, then she had difficulty balancing and walking. Off to the vet. Blood work and urinalysis led her vet to believe she was in the beginning stages of hyperthyroidism. After 2 weeks on oral antibiotics and starting...

I love crystal litter the best but am trying to make my old cats as happy as possible with their litter boxes. I have used Precious Cat Senior (PCS) before but am wondering how it compares to Ultimate Cat Litter (UCL). Has anyone used both of these and how do they compare in texture and odor...

Today I returned the noisy medium sized Fresh Flow and then went to another pet store and bought the large one. Thankfull no loud noise and the kitties all lined up to drink and play with it. I have the cleaning kit from Drinkwell so cleaning the nooks and crannies on any of the fountains or...

I have used Drinkwells for years. In fact I just ordered parts for my two originals, the other is a platinum. We also have the Ultra Bubbler, Catit and recently purchased the Petmate Fresh Flow. In my expirience, the Drinkwells and Bubbler are better. I've never had any problems with either and...

I have never needed this, but try a muzzle. My thinking is that with my own cats, I used to have trouble medicating them and clipping nails until I bought a Klaw Kontrol bag http://www.klaw-kontrol.com/. Once they learned they could not act out they began to calm down and I didn't need the bag...

What works extremely well for me is double sided sticky paper from a hardware store. If you can't find that just use shelf paper with the sticky side up. I go through this every time we move even though my cats are well trained. It is very inconvenient for a few weeks until they learn the...

I finally bought the newest Kittywalk stroller, the Royale Classic. All I can say is wow! My cats love to hang out in there, it's gorgeous and roomy, and the quality is superb. There have been some trips to the vet which seemed less traumatic for them in this stroller, and a couple of walks for...

It is preferred to feed cats wet food whenever possible due to health concerns. Is this your only cat? You might be an ideal candidate for one of those timed food bowls. You fill the compartments and set them to open on a schedule. You could also try the Kitty Kitchen Treat Machine, or those...

Put a second litterbox in one of the areas where she's peeing. Some cats will not do their business in one box. Kittens also can have a hard time making it to the box in time if it's too far away. They also can forget to do their business, so putting her in the box several times during the day...

The loss of a pet can not only affect buddies but enemies as well. When Karina died last year, the other five cats all reacted to the loss, even her two dire enemies. Dusty exhibited stress behaviors like licking walls and pacing. The others were also more jittery and a bit confused. Eventually...

Water fountains can help. It keeps the water cleaner and since it's moving constantly, the cats don't feel the need to push the bowl around as much. I do have a couple of dippers. It's just their thing.

Playtime before bed is a great idea. If she's really bad, you could try putting her in a room or crate at night. It might be difficult to do now that she's used to roaming, but that's how all my cats started out, then gradually we'd keep them out on weekends, until they learned the rules, then...
