    Why does my flee free cat have a measle type bumps on his body?

    Well, Lincoln just got home from the VET and the verdict is.......fleas. The vet found two fleas on him so he got a steroid injection with an antibiotic injection. Just like pgalore kitty's, Lincoln has a severe flea allegry. I had no idea that Frontline and Advantage is not the flea medication...

    Why does my flee free cat have a measle type bumps on his body?

    WOW! It is clear from all of you that offered their opinion that Lincoln needs to go to a VET. I can try changing his food but that could be a waste of time and money. The bumps are probably bothering me than him. I will talk this over with my better half. One way or the other, we are going to...

    Why does my flee free cat have a measle type bumps on his body?

    I have had Lincoln since he was a kitten. He was feral for most his life, only to come home at night and eat and live. Lincoln is now completely domesticated cat and no sign of feral. All his life (ten years) he had a condition with his skin with bumps. I brushed him everyday as I do now but the...

    Comment by 'phyllisanne' in article 'How To Solve Litterbox Problems In Cats: The Ultimate Guide'

    Okay, guys I am back. I still have Velvet and his peeing issues. Some one recommended an over the counter "Prozac" type cure to help him use the box issues. I have to move and uproot our lives once again. I am moving to another county and into a much small home. Please, I cannot move to this new...

    My cat won't use the litterbox

    I have no intention to put velvet to sleep. I will get on my hands and knees and scrub for the rest of my life but putting Velvet down is not a option.  I cannot lock him in a different room because all three cat sleep on my bed with me. All the kitty box's are downstairs and they do most of...

    Not using the box

    Hello, I have a cat that does his business every where but not in his cat box. I was here a couple months ago and you were very helpful. I always thought you could NEVER get the smell of cat pee out of the carpet. One person came up with several ideas which had me researching on the internet. I...

    My cat won't use the litterbox

    I will never put him down or abandon him. I promised his previous owner, an elderly woman who had dementia that when she was gone, I would take  care off Velvet. I remember how she looked into  my eyes and  said, "really"?  I kept my word and that was ten years ago.

    My cat won't use the litterbox

    When I went to the library and borrowed a book, the first five pages taught me so much. In this one book the writer said, "never hit a cat"!  Boy, I felt the force in his voice even though it was on paper. I never hit or hurt but used forceful vocals. Now I look at the big picture even forceful...

    My cat won't use the litterbox

    I had no idea there was hope to get that smell out of the carpet. I moved here 8 months ago and the carpet was brand new. That was half my frustration thinking I ruined the carpet and floor.  GREAT!

    My cat won't use the litterbox

    Hi Talkingpeanut, Thank you for your input on Velvet's behavior. After reading all the possibilities on why he cant and wont use the cat box, I like the idea of "PROZAC". Buying a shock collar or having him put to sleep takes money as well.Yes, I am going to starting putting money aside. I wish...

    My cat won't use the litterbox

    I have borrowed books from the library and learned that cats to not understand displine and I stopped the light swatting and the verbal discipline. He knows when he is wrong and yes I believe he is stressed behind this whole thing. I have three cat boxes is the lower part of my unit and clean...
