Hi All! I was wondering if anyone could recommend a Urinary Treat for my four year old male cat. He had a urinary blockage back when he was one. He has been on Hill’s Urinary Care C/D wet and dry food since. He thoroughly enjoys the Royal Canin Urinary treats, but unfortunately I just went...

Thank you all for your advice and well wishes! Luckily things are looking a little better for where we are located. We are looking at the worst of the storm tonight into tomorrow. We have stress away tablets from the vet that we have started to give, and I have some medication on hand for...

Hi Everyone! I live on the east coast of Florida and will be facing Hurricane Dorian on Monday/Tuesday. We are hoping for the best, but this will be the worst storm both of our cats have lived through. We have a 6 month old female kitten who hates any storm and cries non stop. We also have a...

Conan’s favorite way to sleep!

Thank you for that tip! He is pretty difficult to medicate by syringe, but my we just have to try that! I am wondering now if anyone has experience with demeanor after a hospital stay. Conan has been sleeping pretty much straight through the last 3 days. While he has always enjoyed his naps...

Thank you all for your words of wisdom! Conan is home now resting comfortably. He is very sleep from his hospital ordeal, and is licking himself like crazy - particularly in the areas that the doctor shaved. We are monitoring that to make sure he doesn’t end up causing harm to himself...

Hi All, I’ve been posting on here quite a lot lately as my 1 year old orange tabby, Conan, has just not been himself. He’s not been eating as enthusiastically, has been laying around a lot more, and seems to be breathing quickly and a bit labored although he is not coughing and has his mouth...

I should mention, this was completely out of left field. There have been no signs of obstruction. The litter box has been normal and there have been no surprises around the house!

Hi all! Another update...Last night we found our boy hunched over in his litter box for 10 minutes producing no waste. He wouldn’t even be enticed out by his favorite toys. I have read enough to know this was a cause for immediate attention and we rushed him to a 24 hour vet. We saw a...

Good news! Just heard back from the vet! The bloodwork came back normal, so it is something bronchial and not cardiac related! I am so happy! The vet said to continue him on the medicine and see what the week brings, we go back Wednesday for a follow up. Any suggestions on how we can get...

Thank you both! I’ve noticed that when he’s ‘cat napping’ his breathing slows greatly. We’ve spent most of the day on the couch together today and I’ve gotten my fair share of purrs and licks. Thanks for the reminder to stay calm and not show my stress. That’s something I definitely need to...

Hi Everyone! I’m hoping some of you can shed some light on the issue I’m having with my one year old orange tabby. We started having issues with getting him to eat his dry food. He had been on a strictly dry diet, but when his usual mix changed a bit in consistency we started to add a spoon...

She’s 14 weeks old now and just weighed in at 4 pounds yesterday. Lately when he has her pinned her ears will go back and she will yelp and occasionally hiss. This is usually when we step in. Sometimes she will go right back to him or run away, but never really hides. I usually pick her up...

Thanks for your responses! We are now 2 weeks in and are still experiencing the same behavior. If anything, the older male cat is now even rougher as he is more comfortable around her. He won’t go 2 minutes around her without pinning and biting. We know it will take time, but want to make...

Hi Everyone! I’m hoping someone can help us here as my husband and I are new to the cat world! We have a very sweet orange tabby male who is about to be one year old. He is home alone all day so we thought it would be best to get him a playmate while he is still young. We just adopted a...
