    Can't collect urine..need non-absorbent litter.

    My kitty refused to use the nosorb litter. He used it the first time I tried it but refused to any time after that. What works the best for me is just to catch him the box and slip something under him as he goes. I cut the bottom off a plastic bowl and use that.

    What cat food is good for struvite crystals?

    My kitty had struvite crystals and is on the Science Diet CD dry food. The only wet food he will eat is Fancy Feast, Friskies pouches, and a couple of ProPlan ones. (I spent a lot of money trying to get him to eat better wet foods but he wouldn't.) I give him distilled water and to give him...

    Any suggestions for something to calm kitty for vet visit?

    Thanks so much for the replies! I do actually use the feliway spray in his carrier but that hasn't seemed to really help. Rescue Remedy was one I was thinking of trying. Those that have used it - have you used it with a kitty that gets really upset when going to the vet? Did it really help? Do...

    Limping - to vet now or ok to wait till tomorrow?

    Thanks for replying. I like to err on the side of caution too - it's difficult with him because he gets so upset though. I hate thinking I took him in and put him through the stress and it have been unnecessary. Ugh - he used to do so good - he would be scared but would let them do anything. I...

    Limping - to vet now or ok to wait till tomorrow?

    Just looking for opinions here as I'm not sure what to do. My kitty went in for his vaccines yesterday and became quite upset while there. I was holding on to him as he was struggling. Last night I noticed that he was limping on his front leg (not the leg the shots were given in - those were in...

    eyes/ears/immune booster ?s

    Hi! I would very much like advice on a few things. My kitty keeps having issues with his eyes. They will be squinty and watery - sometimes redness. (Has also had corneal ulcers 2-3 times in the past year, and in both eyes.) He always has gunk in the corner of his eyes. Off and on for the past...

    Having trouble getting a urine sample

    I do like Sophie. My cat had problem with crystals so I have the strips to check the urine every so often. What I do is cut the bottom off of a small plastic bowl and slip that underneath to catch the urine. Works good for me.

    cold paws?

    What could make a cat's rear paws feel cold? Front paws are warm, but the back ones feel cold. I've noticed this a few times this past week. He's also not eating very well at all and is just lying around looking like he feels bad and hiding a lot. He's barely eating his wet food & barely...

    nature's recipe urinary formula

    sharky, just wondering why you highlighted the calcium in the Fromm's analysis? Is that a bad level? Would this maybe be a good dry food that I could try for my kitty that is prone to crystals & currently on prescription CD? Magnesium is the same / phosphorus is higher (0.4% in CD), and I...

    help please (baby kittens lost mommy)

    Thanks for your replies. I have already spoken with 5 animal hospitals, 2 animal shelters, and 2 rescue organizations with no luck. Would the mommy cat maybe be able to handle them for about a week until they might be able to drink the milk on their own?
