    What Do You Think About "office" Cats?

    It would depend on the cat. The cat would have to be very mellow and friendly.

    Am I Feeding My Cat The Proper Amount?

    She probably doesn't need the dry. I feed my cats 1/4 cup of Nature's Variety Instinct Grain-Free Chicken kibble in the morning and they get 1/2 can of the small wellness grain-free chicken pate in the evening. Even my 20lb Maine Coone Leo.

    Cat Wearing A Cone

    My Patches is currently wearing a cone. I'm trying to heal a wound on her face that she got when she scratched herself back in January when I was syringe feeding her the sam-e and milk thistle that she dislikes so much. It's gotten bigger and never really had a chance to heal because the vet...

    Cat Sleeping Too Much But Still Eats

    She might have sprained her ankle or knee jumping down from the furniture if she is limping. Does the leg feel warm around the joints? That would indicate inflammation. My cat Loki recently hurt his back leg jumping off of furniture, and I'm sure it slowed him down a bit. I didn't notice him...

    Advice Desperately Needed

    Aw poor Charlie. When our Bounder passed away, Patches stopped eating and went into hepatic lipidosis from grief. They were very close. She loved Bounder so much. I agree with the other advice that you should take him to the vet to make sure there is nothing physically wrong. If he gets a...

    These Danged Thunderstorms!

    Bach's Pet Rescue Remedy can help over time. You can also call the vet for some meds to help calm her during thunderstorms. My dog Heidi gets anxious when it rains because of the Hurricane last October. She doesn't like thunderstorms either. I started giving her the Rescue Remedy pastilles...

    Is This Food Good For A Cat With Ibd

    George's Aloe and the amino acid glutamate to help heal his gut. George's Aloe is very soothing and healing and tasteless. When I get a bad flare-up of reflux, I sip on a glass of George's Aloe and I can feel it soothing my raw esophagus with every sip. Also colloidal silver daily. I've read...

    Severe Flare-up Of Upper Respiratory Virus

    Yeah you can crush the pill and mix it with a bit of water and dose him that way. Just make sure you get all of the powder in the syringe.

    Pregnant Cat Updated - Fleas.

    That looks fine. When I fostered Gracie and her newborn kittens, I used a large low plastic under the bed storage container that was big enough for her to move around in and high enough to contain the babies. She should be allowed to get up and come and go as she pleases. Mamas need breaks...

    Senior Cat Lethargic - Just Getting Old Or Something Wrong?

    You can always take him back for an xray if he doesn't show improvement in a few days. The pain meds will make him feel comfortable. I recommend picking up some homeopathic arnica pellets. Arnica is amazing for soft tissue bruising. Most health food stores carry at least a few homeopathic...

    Warning: Poop Picture! Identifying Cat's Digestion Issue

    Pale poop can indicate liver issues. I agree that a cytology on the stool should be done to look for parasites as well as bacteria. If the cytology shows nothing, blood tests to check the liver and pancreas should be run. Milk thistle is very supportive of the liver should her liver need...

    Those With Adult Cats And Kittens, How Do You Feed Them?

    My "kittens" are 3 years old now. I honestly cannot remember. When we brought them home they were 5-7 weeks old and I feed them Royal Canin's baby kibble and I think the Wellness Grain Free chicken pate that I fed my adult cats. I just fed them several times a day. And at 6 months, they were...

    My Cats Caused A Noise Complaint! Please Help!

    I second the suggestion to play with them earlier in the evening. Get a laser pointer and have them race around the room to wear them out. I'd consider popping them in a big crate at bedtime. Big enough for all three of them or maybe try and take them to bed with you at night, they might just...

    How Do You Keep Cats Off Your Counters?

    He's still a baby. Think tween/teenager. They are big enough to get into a lot of trouble at that age. You might want to try a squirt bottle to squirt him when he jumps up on the counters. And put away breakables.

    Cat With End Stage Kidney Disease Questions

    I remember the reason why I gave Patches 200mg of CoQ10 because I found a study with rats and liver damage and the rats were given 50mg/kg. So that worked out to around 200mg for my Patches who weighed around 9.5lbs at the time. The Effect of Co-Enzyme Q10 on Acute Liver Damage in Rats, a...

    Cat With End Stage Kidney Disease Questions

    Yes, it is a large dose, but I gave Patches 200mg of CoQ10 daily to bring down her liver enzymes along with 280mg (70mg 4x day) of Sam-e and 780mg (195mg 4x a day) of milk thistle when she had hepatic lipidosis. I also threw 200mg of medicinal mushrooms at her twice a day. The vet calls my...
