That's a relief to hear! Charlie did poop last night in the new tray-style box, so it's progress... I hope. One night isn't enough to know for sure we're on track to correct the problem, but it's the first time he's pooped in the box in weeks! That's the thing, though, it has been happening on...

Continue with the topical flea treatment, and I think you and the kitties will be fine. If you want to be extra cautious, Mycodex is a great product to eliminate fleas and eggs in the home. We used to let one of our cats go outside on a leash until he picked up some fleas that way and brought...

Thanks for the tips everyone! @maria - Appreciate the suggestion, but I'm not sure it's that simple. I've had the lid off of the Rubbermaid litter box for weeks now. So, I don't think the issue has to do with feeling enclosed. That said, last night, I did swap out this litter box for a low...

Hi di and bob. Thanks for your post. Your stories help give us some hope. We've had him home since Monday evening, and were a little worried yesterday since he didn't have any bowel movements until Friday evening. But we had him (and his brother) check out at our primary vet, and they impressed...

Hello, first time cat owner (as an adult) and first time poster to the forums (unfortunately under grave circumstances). My 5-6 mo. Kitten experienced cardiac arrest on Thursday. Here's what happened: About 3 months ago, my partner and I decided to take in and raise two, male feral kittens...
