My cat just recovered from UTI with crystals presented in his body. It costed 3000 dollars with the emergency vet just for catheter, so I am thinking of insuring him. However, all the insurance that I saw online do not cover such a situation which worries me since there is no way that I can...
Hi all, thank you very much for your reply!! So we ended up taking him home today because he was able to urinate on himself last night multiple times and the doctor says for now there is no need to perform surgery. But it seems that there is still chance for him to be blocked in the future. I...
Thank you, and below is a more detailed description:
1.My cat is 2 years old, and this is the first time he has ever experienced such symptoms.
2.He is licking his belly a lot and urinates outside the litterbox which is why I called the vet.
3. So basically the doctor first said she thinks...
My cat starts to demonstrate the sign of Feline Idiopathic Cystitis/urinary contraction(My apologies but I am not really familiar with the medical terms), and my regular vet told me to go to the emergency room directly. The urine analysis shows that he has crystals in his urine, so we have to...
I got a new backpack and my cat was very afraid of it which is understandable. However, the other day he was approaching the backpack and somehow scared himself. Ever since that, he is only willing to stay in a specific area in the living room and becomes cautious of everything. He got scared...
When I picked my baby kitten up, he had a lot of discharges because of traveling long distance. I took him to the vet, and the vet said it was normal. It did go back to normal after several days he arrived home, but there was still blackish spots extending from his eyes(picture below). I have no...
Thank you very much for all the replies! We managed to find a vet yesterday night, and she checked my kitten and said everything looked fine. So she just gave him some medicine to help ease his stomach. He is now back to normal. It really freaked me out yesterday, since he vomited over about 8...
My kitten has been vomiting through the past 2 hours for 7 times, I want to take him to the vet immediately but there is no 24-hour vet within my reach!!!!! The worst part is that all hospitals are closed tomorrow. I do not know what to do now.
It happened all of a sudden, he is doing...
I made a mistake. They did not include the shipping cost into the price. So basically they will ship the kitten to me via cargo. Is that an acceptable way? Like will there be any problem for the kitten to go through the custom? I also plan to do a skype with the owner so I can see the cattery...
Hi everyone, I am considering getting a golden BSH from a Russian cattery. Here is their website, Обложка. I just wonder whether anyone on this forum has any experience in importing a kitten, so he/she can shed some light on this. They are asking $1500 for the kitten including the transportation...
One more thing: He likes to scratch the floor beside the feeding bowl when he stops eating. I am not sure what he means. Does that mean that he wants to save it for later? But I cannot save the food outside for too long, since I am worried that the food might be contaminated.
Really? I think he is doing very good. He is active at nights and in the mornings, but sleepy in the afternoon. I just had him examined by a vet today, and the vet said he is quite healthy. I do not know what to do now.
My kitten is 10-week-old, and I am feeding him four times a day. My feeding schedule is the following:
1. 7:00-8:00: half cooked chicken thighs and chicken livers. (I follow the instructions on Making Cat Food)
2.13:00-14:00: goat milk together with the same half cooked meal.
3. 17:00: dry...
Thank you very much for the detailed review!!! Yeah I noticed that many people had the same problem with scratch posts as well, and that is what makes me hesitated. I really really love how the tree looks though.
I am getting a kitten soon. I live in a small studio apartment where there is no door for the kitchen. I am worried that the kitten might jump on the kitchen table which might hurt him. So I wonder what should I do in this situation. Also, I read for a kitten, we should put him in a safe room...
