    How To Care For A Senior-ish Cat

    My dear cat turned 8 years old about 11 days ago. I'll be scheduling a vet exam sometime this month or the beginning of next month (when I have enough money for it because I'm broke and in debt *sigh*) because he needs a rabies boost but that got me thinking: how do I care, or start a preventive...

    How To Gain Weight

    I'd like my cat to gain another pound or so, and I'm a bit of a loss on how to do that. I try to feed him 4oz of raw food per day, half a 5.5/6.5oz or full 3oz can, and 1/2 scoop of Ziwi Peak air-dried food per day. Canned & air-dried food are left out when I am out or sleeping. The problem is...

    Dental Decisions - Help Pls!

    I have been waiting for this month since last year when I didn't know about it and missed it. I got an estimation from my vet and have saved up enough money for the highest estimation. But I called them today to confirm about said estimation, and they sent me a new one. That was about $600 more...

    Aloe Vera For Cats

    I've just come back from my vet, and she stated that aloe vera should be put 3 times on his sore/acne for the next two weeks. She didn't recommend any specific brand so I was wondering if anyone here has applied it on their cats. If so, what did you use? Or is it better to just buy the plant...

    Unmanageable Uri...?

    Or have I just not found the answer/right prescription medicine? I don't want my cat's life to mostly consist of medicines and vet trips. He's 7 years old. It stresses him out. And so far the antibiotics have made him feel great/normal healthy only until the bottle runs out. Plus those...

    Dental Cleaning

    Does anyone here have experience dealing with a URI cat and having him be under anesthesia for dental cleaning while he's being medicated? Is that safe? I talked to my vet, and apparently his URI is being caused by gingivitis so in order to control/make that disappear he has to be under...

    Someone Tell Me Im Paranoid

    I apologize for the long post but I feel like details are necessary. I adopted a 7year old cat last year with history unknown, of course. I went on a trip a month ago and for that I boarded my cat into a reputable cat facility (not locked up in cages, plenty of room to roam, lots of other...

    Expiration Date

    Hey guys I was wondering if you have any experience/knowledge with/about expired rad cat food. I'm asking because an acquaintance of mine has been feeding her cats with expired rad cat food and from what she told me it hasn't done anything unusual with her cats. I always assumed that the...

    Drool?

    Hey guys. I have a bit of a problem involving my 7-year-old cat who does have a bit of dental problem. This morning is the first time that I saw drool down his face (I don't really count yesterday as there was only a bit on his whiskers) and now I'm wondering if that's normal in a cat. There was...

    Raw/wet/dry

    My senior cat was mostly on wet and raw food. But due to a few financial problems, I've had to do some cut backs as commercial raw foods are expensive so I've slowly added about/mostly less than 1/4cup of Orijen at night and half a scoop of Ziwi in the morning with wet occasionally replacing...
