As an update, I have put the Arm & Hammer Platinum Clump & Seal in Misty's box and boy what a disaster!! Not much dust ( claims 100% dust free?) But Misty seemed to not like it. But the main problem was with me. There must be some king of chemical off putting from the litter because I had...

Thank you Natalusky29. At a cat "hotel" Misty was given the Feline Pine litter, and the administrator said she used it with no problem. When I brought her home I put that in her litter box and she refused to use it! Had to rush out to get her usual litter. I am not familiar with the SepiCat...

Thank you for your info. When I get my order of litter I can then see if it will work for Misty. If it does have a scent that maybe a problem. I have looked for a mat to put under her box but they all seem to big or to small. But I will be getting her a new one soon. Thank you again.

Hello everyone. A question and some recommendations on cat litter. I have used Scoop Away for Misty for a couple of years but now it's either little dust or a dust storm! The last 2 boxes were very dusty! So I am now going to try Arm & Hammer Platinum Clump & Seal litter. It has gotten very...

Another question if I may. Do any of you use a Mat Remover comb? I see one on amazon the Hertzko Mat Remover Grooming Comb. Have you had any experience with these types of combs? And for Posiepurrs where can I get one of the combs shown on your post above?

Thank you both for your wise counsel. I will get after this shortly. I am scared to death to cut her nails. I so far let the vet do it. She has a couple of knots that are two and in one case three knots on the same hair groups. Where she has these knots is on her neck and I guess that will...

Thank you Posiepurrs for your info. Assuming we can give her a bath, is there a proper bath shampoo and method you would recommend to bathe her? And how frequent should she have a bath? Also is there a comb that we can use to help avoid knots in her fur? What is the best way to remove the...

Thank you for your advice and info. I do use the glove and she really likes that and will purr during the first couple of minuets. Maybe I can get her to like more frequent brushing as a way to reduce the knots, and not trying to brush all of her at one time. I see I forgot to say where they...

Thank you FeebysOwner. Regarding your questions: I do brush Misty usually when she "asks" (& to get her treat(s), she does have long hair, she is an inside cat only -no collar, I estimate her age as 4 years next month. She came to our patio in mid-sept. 2016, she has been with us ever since...

Does anyone know what would cause knots in Misty's fur? She has several knots around her neck and more than one has two or three on/ in the same hairs of her fur. On previous vet visit , the vet cut a couple of knots out of her fur, but did not tell me what could cause the knots. Can any of...

Do any of you have any recommendations for boarding facilities in either Broward or Miami- Dade County Florida? I would probably need up to a couple of weeks for Misty to be able to stay in a very nice place. Any comments or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

My cat Misty is now an inside only cat. But I give her a once a month treatment of Advantage II for small cats (5-9lbs) she was just under 8lbs a couple of months ago. I had tried Frontline before but it did not work. And the reason I give her the treatment now is that I feed 3 outside cats...

What is a drop trap?

Thank you all for your advice and info. After trying to get the cat to go into a trap like she did back in the summer, after which she was spayed. I now have help from the local shelter to catch her and treat her. I had tried everything they suggested to catch her but this cat is pretty smart...

I am in Miami, FL area.

I have been trying to catch / trap a spayed feral cat that appears to have mange. I have posted about this a few weeks back. My question is: if I would be so lucky to grab her with my hands and put into a shelter cage, would I be risking my health if she bites me? Could she have rabbies? Or...

Have any of you used Suitical to prevent your cat from licking an area where she has created an iritated area on her stomach. Vet says to use this protective "vest" until the area is healed. Must take off, apply Quadritop Ointment twice a day till healed. Taking off and putting back on...

The cat that I am concerned about does not scratch very much,could I be wrong that the rough looking ear is not really mange, but something else?

Thank you for your suggestion. I have already looked at several photo's of cats with mange as you suggested. Now I have to determine how to treat her so she does not infest the other cats and mine as well.

The title says it all. She is a black short hair female feral cat. I think she has mange on her left ear. the ear has lost a lot of fur and has ragged edges. I have never seen mange in any cat, so I am not sure that's the problem. I understand mange is very easely transferred to other cats...
