    Fleas 2018

    I have a problem....I have several cats who seem to have WORMS! I thought they were tapeworms, but we have NO FLEAS. NO FLEAS. And before anybody questions me, YES! NO FLEAS! So can they NOT be tapeworms, but some other worms (but what other worms will "crawl around the anus" like...

    Covenia Lethargy?

    I had a cat who was given two doses of convenia (you DO know the name is based on the "CONVENIENCE factor" of giving it?!?!? I will NEVER give that crap to my cat ever again. I don't think it helped him, since he had to go to ANOTHER vet a couple of months later and was given something...

    How Do I Get My Guy To Take His Meds?

    I appreciate all the replies! This is liquid medication. I can "sneak up" on him fairly easily to give him the pills. There were only 3 of them! But the liquid was supposed to given for at least a week, more like 10 days. He didn't get all of it. :-( In the meantime, I am now giving him...

    How Do I Get My Guy To Take His Meds?

    I have a tux boy who keeps getting UTI's. He is a sweet fellow otherwise, sleeps right next to me all night, etc., but when I start giving him meds, he HATES ME to days on end! Won't even be in the same room with me! When he gets the UTI, he pees everywhere. I get it, I do! But he cannot...

    Fleas 2018

    I know this isn't popular with many cat people, but I must swear by it! I have not had fleas AT ALL in my home since I started using 20 Mule Team Borax. It is SOAP. Laundry soap. I sprinkle it on all the "cloth" surfaces, like furniture, bedding, places where the cats sleep, etc. Then dust...
