I will now make the litter 3 inches deep like maggiedemi suggested. Thank you ALL very much!

I've been using the Special Kitty (fragrance free) clumping litter that comes in the big plastic jug. When the litter gets wet and turns into a clump, it develops a clay slime on the outside of the clump. I believe it's the clay slime that's sticking to her fur. The clay slime then dries to a...

stevenq - I got the water additive for her breath. Can you tell me if it's safe? LTS3 - She drinks a ton of water every day. Can you tell me if you think the additive is safe?

I bought a bottle from PetsMart earlier today, but I was alarmed to find "Made in China" on the bottle. I then ran each ingredient separately through Google, but I did not find anything dangerous about the ingredients. Many of the ingredients are found in human mouthwash. The Camellia Sinensis...

Thanks to all for your replies thus far. I wish I could get one tube of each flavor to try, but at $10 for each tube, it gets pricey quick. 

Hi Everyone,  The vet says my little Sonya has severe tarter buildup on her back molars. She's never had her teeth brushed and I want to start easing her into it if I can. I've been reading the C.E.T. toothpaste reviews on Amazon, but all of those reviews are from dog owners. Most of them say...

Hi SueG, Tonight, Sonya has been going to the kitchen and asking for some food. She's managed to eat some food on her own out of her regular food dish; although not near as much as she normally does when she's feeling normal. I'm going to have to keep feeding her by syringe in addition to...

Hi everyone, Sonya seems to be a little stronger today. She's able to jump on the couch if she wants to. I've been trying to improve on my kitty burrito technique. She doesn't like to be rolled up in the towel, so I have to try to wrap it around her as quickly as I can. I'm going to the pet...

Hi everyone, I just got back from the vet with Sonya. She has a temperature and she has a mystery virus. I'm guessing that the virus wasn't far enough along to cause a temperature during the first vet visit. The x-ray showed everything clear; no obstruction and no cancer. They want me to feed...

Right now she is making a humming noise when she exhales - and she keeps licking her lips. I'm beginning to see a bit of panic in her eyes, which is really worrying me. The fir under her cheeks and below her neck looks greasy. And she has a dried drip under her left eye. I'm mentioning whatever...

I am going to try to keep her alive long enough until I can find a diagnosis. I'm going to call around to different vets today. I'm going to try to get a feel for their competency. Most of them just want to get you in the door first and then talk to you later. Hopefully, one of them will take an...

Hi, The blood tests were: 1. "Felv/Fiv/HWT cite snap test." 2. "IDEXX Feline ADRchek T with Spec fPLT." The doctor said Sonya's kidney and liver function are normal. Her glucose level is slightly elevated, but not enough to suspect diabetes. Her breath has never been fantastic because of her...

Hi, She has had litterbox accidents before, but only because she has tried to cover up her poo and in the process, the poo went over the edge. She has never had a pee accident before this morning, but I'm thinking it's mainly because she's so weak. I'm very much willing to take her to another...

I find your compassion very comforting. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you very much for your help. I will try to answer your questions: 1. I don't know what "the loo" means. 2. She is still alert and responsive, but she is getting visibly weaker. 3. Yes it does. 4. I'll have to wait on that because she's resting after being syringe fed, but the vet said...
