I live in a condominium complex where dogs are common. My Lily never goes outside, but unfortunately I, myself, have brought home a stray flea or two that hitched a ride on my pants or shoes. Before I knew it, I had a flea infestation and Lily was miserable! Revolution on Lily and a pet-safe...

Thank you so much! I appreciate your thorough response and the linked articles. I feel much better now about continuing the Miralax but as of yesterday I reduced the dosage to 1/8th tsp (from 1/4) and will see how that goes.

Good point, thank you. She doesn't mind the Miralax powder mixed with her food and eats everything up. But if I need to switch to the syrup I'll keep that in mind.

Thank you. For continuous use, or for just the "recommended" 3 days?

She doesn't have hairballs. I give her Greenies Smartbites Healthy Indoors treats every night and they seem to prevent hairballs.

Thank you so much!

Thank you for your feedback. I agree with you! Another drawback of the liquid Lactulose is that it needs to be given twice a day! I really don't see how this could work with Lily, who already refuses to eat her food with the syrupy stuff added to it. The vet also said that Miralax unbalances...

May I ask how much Miralax you gave your cats, and how often?

My Lily is now a senior kitty, as she turned 12 this past June. She is spayed, UTD on all vaccines and gets Revolution every month even though she is strictly an indoor cat. She weighs 12.6 lbs which is a tad overweight for her size, and eats only Purina Pro Plan canned food. Her recent blood...

Absolutely my concerns too. Thank you.

Hello everyone. What is your opinion on the "cat lollipops" that are so plentiful on Amazon? My Lily is now 12 years old. She has slowed down a little but still wants to play in her own time. I'm always looking for ways to keep her entertained and stimulated. I read about these "cat lollipops"...

You are very welcome. Keep in mind that it smells VERY strong, though! At least the first day, you can smell it from anywhere in your house. It's not an unpleasant smell -- just strong.

Thank you for your reply! I had no idea about lizards/some lizards being dangerous to cats until I started googling today! I'm glad to hear that none of your cats ever showed any ill effects from eating lizards... and maybe lizard poop too. Ugh! :barfgreen::eek3::barfgreen: Never a dull moment...

Lily got into mischief again. She is a 100% indoor cat, but I live in a condo that has a screened balcony. Off the balcony is a small storage room which unfortunately seems to be a refuge for common Florida lizards. Not sure where they come from -- there must be some sort of hole in the wall. I...

My Lilly is a champ! :kneading: No more ribbon in her! I'm sure she must be feeling better, although she never gave any signs of feeling poorly. *I* am so very relieved! :bliss::poop::bliss:

Nope. :( Lilly pooped again today but no signs of the rest of the ribbon, and believe me, I looked! Yuck. She continues to eat with excellent appetite and displays no unusual behavior or signs of distress. Nothing is hanging from her butt. Today is Day 3. @She's a witch said her kitty took 3...

I had this problem recently and found a pet-and-kid-safe ant killer that is heavy in cinnamon and cloves. It worked like a charm! I didn't have a heavy ant problem, just a constant few that kept coming back to the dry food bowl. The name is "Ortho Home Defense Ant & Roach Killer With Essential...

Today's Update: No ribbon in the poop, but at least she pooped, which would indicate her gut is moving normally. Ate all her breakfast too. I'm feeling positive!
