We can't afford a vet or groomer right now and our Max has some really bad mats. I've tried using Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, but he still has them. On top of that, he is very sensitive about the area before his tail, and that's where they are. He has never had them this bad before. We would like to...

You're right about an abscess. We lost our girl due to one we didn't know about. She was eating a famous brand food when she jumped and stopped, but she was so hungry, she kept on eating. It was the one with the so-called, nutritious bites. This was during the pandemic so no vets. Once I figured...

No. It doesn't. But it is made here in the states at a manufacturing company. Is it ok to put the name here?

My cat, Max, is like the poster. He won't let me brush anything hardly. He is very skittery. I got some Denta Shield Tartar Powder. I haven't tried it yet. Has anyone used this for your fur friend?

DB89014 I read that, too. Do you apply it every day or just once, twice?

I don't cook much, but I am considering making his food rather than buying ready made.

I prayed to understand what was killing our girl, Kit. I was led here to find that Friskies cat food was the culprit. After second guessing ourselves, ever since she became ill and was dying from kidney failure, we thought we had done something wrong. From Kflowers post, I went to...

Thank you for your response, but like I stated, we had to have Blue Grand (the kitty who had mats) put to sleep last week. The two cats we still have are short hair domestic and don't require constant brushing or care.

I know just how you feel, but you made the right decision for your Reesee. We just had to make that decision last week ourselves, for our Blue Grand. I thought maybe if I had done something different, but, the truth is, after talking with a well knowledged friend, that we made the right decision...

I bought a Furminator, hoping it would help with our Blue Grand, who was a Maine Coon mix. As you, probably, know, Maine Coons have very long fur. He hated it. He stopped cleaning himself and had mats all over him. I ws hoping to help him by removing them, easily. All, I found, it did was pull...

Help. I need to know this, too. Satin Bombay (19 years) has back claws that extend way beyond his paws. He will not let me trim them. I'm concerned he may hurt himself by getting caught on something while we are sleeping or away. He has no way of using a scratcher to trim them down himself. So...

Our Blue Grand, bless his heart, we had to have him put to sleep the 2nd. of January 2015, (thyroid problems and Mega-Colon. He was, literally, starving to death and in a lot of pain), had the same problem. What I did was two things. First, I would clean him and his tail with a soft cloth...

Satin Bombay and Sugar Kit love Temptations treats, any flavor and any type. Recently, I bought them Catnip and the Party Styles. They went bananas for them both.

What a terrific way to help kitties! I'm in. I nominate Alley Cats. They are a non-profit organization that catches, neuters and spays feral cats, then releases them back in their colonies. I recommend Blue Naturally Fresh Multi-Cat Clumping Litter, which is made from walnuts. I do, however...

Thank you so much. I will, definitely, try Slippery Elm Bark. If anything can help my little guy, I will give it a run. I also read it is great for poultices for diabetic ulcers. My husband has those so it will also be used for him and for my bowel inconsistencies.
