    Boarding Cat - Does She Need Feline Leukemia Booster?

    I'm going to be boarding my cat in September. The facility is very clean and each cat has their own inclosure and the cats don't interact with each other - they aren't let out to mingle. There is some carpeted cat furniture in the inclosure. My cat is current on her FVRCP and rabies boosters...

    How Many Of You Have Cats That Understand Words?

    The other day I was reading somewhere that cats don't understand words. But I have a cat now and I had a cat years ago that both understood - "Do you want to be brushed?" Both of them love(d) to be brushed. I would ask the question often without the brush in sight and they do (did) come...

    I Had A Scare Tonight - Correct Number For Free Poison Control Information

    I dropped one of my pills tonight when I was taking my medication. I tore apart my kitchen looking for it with no luck. I remembered there was a number to call for free poison control information listed on The Cat Site. I called the number which was busy and disconnected me. So I tried...

    My Girl Is All Confused

    I moved to a new apartment with my cat Jasmine this week. In the old apartment her litter box was in a closet that was in the middle of the kitchen with a linoleum floor. Sounds weird but it was a small apartment and the closet was long and narrow and the litter box fit in there perfectly...

    Two Kittens From Long Ago

    When I was a child our cat had a litter of kittens. If I remember right our mother cat was a gray tabby with white. Two of her 5 kittens were solid bicolors - white and brown. I didn't realize then how rare it was to see a cat with these colors. These 2 kittens didn't have points like a...

    I Noticed My Cat On Miralax Has Black Stool

    My cat Jasmine is 5 1/2 years old. She's always had hard dry stools. I have been giving her 1/4 teaspoon of Miralax a day which was recommended by the vet. She's been on it for several months and having good BM's. At this point I've converted her over to wet food. Last May she was drinking water...

    How Long Does A Bag Of Lactated Ringers Last?

    My 5 year old cat Jasmine was diagnosed with stage 2 or 3 kidney failure about 2 weeks ago. I was given a bag of lactated ringers with the tubing and needle already attached. I'm supposed to give her 100 ML of the Sub Q fluids once or twice a week. The bag is 1000 ML. That means it would...

    My Two Kitties Have Significant Health Challenges

    I adopted 2 rescue kitties in 2016. Miles was 2 years old and when he didn't live up to his bio about being incredibly affectionate after 4 months I also adopted Jasmine who was 7 months old. Miles appeared healthy - all 18 pounds of him - he's a naturally big cat. Oddly enough he had...

    Supplements/Medicine to Stop "Play Aggression"

    I adopted Miles in July of 2016 from a shelter when he was 2 years old. I don't believe the questionnaire the prior owners filled out was completely truthful. He was not very affectionate but their answers said he liked other cats. I waited 4 months and then adopted Jasmine in November of...

    Has Anyone who's used Arm & Hammer Slide litter had their cat's stool turn black??

    I recently started using Arm & Hammer Slide litter which is very dark in color. Yes it doesn't stick to the litter box but it sticks all over my cat's paws and tracks outside the litter box badly. I noticed today that my other cat's stool was black but she's fine otherwise. I know that black...

    Cat Being Treated for IBD Now has Diabetes

    I adopted my Cat Miles about 3 years ago when he was 2 years old. He's always been prone to throwing up but usually not his food but instead hairballs. He's a big cat - big boned - big paws and has weighed as much as 19 pounds. He's an enigma because he's always been very food motivated but...
