I've had 2 cats that needed daily laxatives. The 1st one was treated with lactulose which worked well. The one I have now gets 1/4 teaspoon of Miralax mixed with a little water and then mixed thoroughly with her wet food once a day. She was on that GI Biome food and even with the Miralax her...

I seemed to develop allergies after I had a bad case of the flu many years ago. One of the things I'm allergic to is cat hair (dander). It's not severe but I get a very stuffy nose. I use a generic Flonase nasal spray once a day. And I'm able to have my sweet love bug Jasmine anywhere in my...

I'm going to be boarding my cat in September. The facility is very clean and each cat has their own inclosure and the cats don't interact with each other - they aren't let out to mingle. There is some carpeted cat furniture in the inclosure. My cat is current on her FVRCP and rabies boosters...

This is probably something that has been addressed already but just on the outside chance - are you feeding Finn a high protein low carbohydrate food? Wet foods that fit that category are best, better than dry kibble. I had a cat that had inflammatory bowel disease and then developed diabetes...

At Christmas time in 2001 my brother adopted Rusty from a shelter for our dad as a Christmas present. Rusty was about 3 years old and had come from a cat hoarding situation with 47 cats in a one bedroom apartment. Rusty must have thought he hit the jackpot - going from that situation to live in...

The other day I was reading somewhere that cats don't understand words. But I have a cat now and I had a cat years ago that both understood - "Do you want to be brushed?" Both of them love(d) to be brushed. I would ask the question often without the brush in sight and they do (did) come...

Thank you! Success I found the pill! I pulled out the bottom broiler drawer of my stove and it was under there on the floor way in the back. I don't know how these pills bounce like this.

I dropped one of my pills tonight when I was taking my medication. I tore apart my kitchen looking for it with no luck. I remembered there was a number to call for free poison control information listed on The Cat Site. I called the number which was busy and disconnected me. So I tried...

I also forgot - it's probably a good idea to bring a harness and leash for your cat. They made my cat get out of the carrier for a couple of minutes to scan the carrier - I guess for explosives. That was scary because I was afraid my cat would get loose in the airport and I'd never see him...

I think you also need a health certificate from your cat's vet stating that they're healthy and what vaccinations they've had. I only had to fly with one of my cats once and he had a health certificate and the airlines accepted the Sherpa soft sided cat carrier.

Jasmine is doing better today - fingers crossed that this remains so. No urine outside the litter box and on the floor. Thanks for asking!

I've been using the puppy pads a long time - years and they're the same brand but I did notice it says "puppy attractant"

I moved to a new apartment with my cat Jasmine this week. In the old apartment her litter box was in a closet that was in the middle of the kitchen with a linoleum floor. Sounds weird but it was a small apartment and the closet was long and narrow and the litter box fit in there perfectly...

I use the glargine insulin pen to treat my cat for diabetes. The name of the generic Lantus is Basaglar and it costs about $83.00 for one insulin pen which is quite a bit better than the price you were quoted. I'd say call around to different pharmacies to check prices and see if they carry...
