    Alopecia In Young Cat

    I am so insanely paranoid that I left work early and took him to the vet, just got back! The vet gave him a cortisone injection and said he could be itching and plucking when we arent around to see it. Its spring in Australia so she said a lot of pets are coming in with skin issues at the...

    Alopecia In Young Cat

    I'm really concerned about what could be causing a growing bald patch on my 1 yr old Burmese. About two weeks ago I had him on my lap and noticed he had a sore on the back of his neck and a little bald spot. Gave him a full body inspection and found a larger bald spot on his shoulder and a tiny...

    Just an update: Ronnies voice is basically at full Burmese volume now, just had to wait it out, thanks for the reassurance guys!

    Cat Laryngitis- Vet Visit Or Wait And See?

    He was very hissy and growly for the first few days but has been fine with the kitten for a week now, hopefully he'll regain his voice soon

    Cat Laryngitis- Vet Visit Or Wait And See?

    So over the past 4 days Ronnie, my 7 yr old, has developed a hoarse meow. Sometimes he opens his mouth and just a whisper comes out! I have seen him cough/gag probably 7 times in the time frame (but not in the last 24 hours). I think he has laryngitis which I have read is somewhat common when...

    Looking To See What Breed My Kitten Is :)

    Yes there are only a few breeds that come in a solid brown, I think he most looks like a Havana: You would need to get a DNA test if you wanna know if he is

    Looking To See What Breed My Kitten Is :)

    Hmmm bit of a Havana Brown lookalike, where did you get him? Brown cats are not very common

    Both Cats Chewing Up Then Spitting Out New Food.

    Fussy little thing, she wont starve herself to death so I would put out the Ivory Coat you have now and she will have to get used to it. It would be different if she was being made sick by it but, as shes had it before and shes just being difficult, Im sure she'll come around to eating it when...

    Both Cats Chewing Up Then Spitting Out New Food.

    Hahaha oops, yes the breeder of our new little one gave us an info sheet that said she feeds them wet cat food, raw roo mince (that VIP stuff is what Ive been getting, kitties love it) and eggs with a little grated cheese in there for taste. Definately good if you're worried about protein!

    Both Cats Chewing Up Then Spitting Out New Food.

    Chicken flavour always seems to be a favourite, hopefully that works! Have you tried baby on a scrambled up egg with some grated cheese? Maybe they'd tolerate something a bit more mild

    Both Cats Chewing Up Then Spitting Out New Food.

    Ahh its dry food, I didnt realize! I know you can get small bags of Royal Canin at some pet shops (City Farmers.. not sure if thats just a WA shop thought) which are $6, I buy those for my boy because he mainly has wet food so the small bag lasts a while, but theyre a good trial size. Other...

    Both Cats Chewing Up Then Spitting Out New Food.

    Some cats just dont like certain foods, mine will eat several flavours of a brand but will not touch another flavour! I would switch back to the food you know they like for now. You could also test out different foods by buying a few of the individual sachets or cans you can get at pet shops so...

    Cat Peeing Blood

    Did the vets actually give you a diagnosis? I cant see that there in the post. It sounds like a UTI and she'll be in pain and trying to show you that theres something wrong by publicly doing something cats are normally private about. As a human I have had them and they are hell, if this is what...

    Resident Cat Chasing, Hissing When Kitten Runs

    We have just been through this and we just left them to their own devices. Our older boy wanted to know what this little intruder was up to and wasnt happy about his presence. I basically watched them whenever they were together (luckily Im on holidays from work atm), ready to break up any...

    Cat Spraying All Over House

    It does sound like hes a very anxious kitty, I would speak to a vet about medication like abyeb said

    Poop Outside Of Box

    If your boy is indoor only it might be good to do a perimeter spray outside to stop the ants from getting in, we have the same problem and this helps a bit. We also get spiders in the house which I discovered were coming in through the drain in the laundry. Sprayed around the drain points...

    Do Big Ears On A Kitten = Big Adult?

    Speaking of American and Euro Burmese, this photo blows my mind every time I see it: Hard to believe they go by the same name!

    Do Big Ears On A Kitten = Big Adult?

    He certainly seems to be a bit more on the oriental side with his looks, I thought he almost looks like a tonk with the ears and the pointier face but that'll change a bit as he fills out in the cheeks I suppose :)

    Do Big Ears On A Kitten = Big Adult?

    Hello, Im new so Im not sure if this is the right forum to post in! I was just curious if there is any thoughts behind big ears on a kitten? Is it a sign, like big paws, that they will be large? We have a new (Euro type) Burm baby (4 months old) who seems to have massive ears, it was the first...
