    My two cats used to be more bonded but not anymore. Could I get some advice?

    I’ve got two cats that I have had for about two years. They’re both about two years old. I used to live with a roommate and had no other pets in the home. They got along very well. They played together, cuddled, groomed each other, etc. It was wonderful! I eventually had to move back home almost...

    I dropped a 20mg omeprazole (Prilosec) pill and can’t find it. If my cats do, is there anything I should be worried about?

    T Thank you for your reply! I should clarify the omeprazole was for me. I didn’t realize until today that cats are also given omeprazole, in much smaller doses, of course. But that’s why I worry. I’m afraid they’ll swallow an adult dosage! I may vacuum when I get home just in case.

    I dropped a 20mg omeprazole (Prilosec) pill and can’t find it. If my cats do, is there anything I should be worried about?

    I was taking it out of the package and it dropped. I looked on the ground in the area and found NOTHING. How the heck it disappeared, I don’t know. I’m a worrier, so I am concerned they’ll sniff it out and find it while I’m gone and get sick. Is this a valid worry?

    Does this water fountain pose a health threat to my cats?

    I’ll take a look at that one. Thank you.

    Does this water fountain pose a health threat to my cats?

    Yes, I have seen the reviews, but only after I bought it. I’m disappointed because this is the first time I bought some thing from Petsmart that was so misleading. I saw the reviews afterwards, but was hoping taking care of it properly like cleaning it regularly would help.

    Does this water fountain pose a health threat to my cats?

    Everything can go in the dishwasher except for the motor. But yes, it does look like something is peeling off.

    Cat coughing/gagging. I need advice.

    I’m sorry to get back to you so late. I haven’t seen your reply until tonight. Lincoln has doing much, much better since the last time I posted. He’s drinking water even as I type and he eats. He hasn’t puked since my original post, although he does still sneeze occasionally. I don’t really see...

    Does this water fountain pose a health threat to my cats?

    Hello everyone. I bought this water fountain from PetSmart about a month ago. It’s by Whisker City and it’s “stainless steel”, although I’ve since learned that not all of it is stainless steel. I’ve seen some pictures about this particular fountain rusting in some places, which worries me. I’ve...

    Cat coughing/gagging. I need advice.

    Thank you for your thorough response. I’m at work but while I’m there, my family is watching him. After I made my initial post, Lincoln ate and he drank some water. My family said he’s eating a lot. As far as I know, he didn’t throw anything up. So I’m thinking those are good signs. When he went...

    Cat coughing/gagging. I need advice.

    Another thing I just remembered is he’s gone to the litter box twice this morning, but the second time he made a bit of a straining noise. My mother who saw him said it looked like his stomach was straining. He did end up using it, though.

    Cat coughing/gagging. I need advice.

    He has no watery eyes or runny nose. I’m thinking he may be nauseous too. They looked inside his mouth and didn’t see anything. They did not look into his throat as far as I know. His temperature was fine as well. So without bloodwork or an X-ray it’s speculation for me.

    Cat coughing/gagging. I need advice.

    Couple more things. He licks his lips sometimes like he’s eaten. Either I’m paranoid and he’s always done it, I just haven’t noticed, or this is new and a symptom of something. My other cat is recovering from having a herpes flare up with a URI. Maybe her being sick has affected him in some way...

    Cat coughing/gagging. I need advice.

    Hey all, I am having a concerning issue with my cat. His name is Lincoln. Starting Thursday night, Lincoln starting to make a strange swallow motion. Several times while watching him he would “swallow” (like he would kinda stretch his neck out if that makes sense). At some point during that...

    Cat Lethargic and Sneezing.

    The vet believes she has a URI. She gave her an antibiotic shot called Convenia or something like that. That was Tuesday. She’s still a little sniffly and sneezy but she seems to be doing better!

    Cat Lethargic and Sneezing.

    she seems to have more energy tonight! She is walking around both floors of the house and ate some wet food that I put down! She’s still got watery eyes and sneezing though.

    Cat Lethargic and Sneezing.

    I guess I’ll see if my dad will take her. I’ve been at work so I haven’t been able to monitor her. I have a Ring camera in my room but the few times I looked she was just asleep on her cat tree. So I can’t speak for her litter box habits. I can say that she seems to have more energy tonight! She...

    Cat Lethargic and Sneezing.

    I have one other cat who is perfectly fine. Would those things be okay for him to eat? He may want to sample it himself lol

    Cat Lethargic and Sneezing.

    My cat is lethargic w/ a runny nose, mildly watery eyes, and an occasional sniffle/sneeze. I can’t get her to a vet until the day after tomorrow. It started today. She sneezed once yesterday but it’s happened a few more times. Is this situation more urgent than that, you think? I’d love to get...

    My cat touched the exact spot I put Minoxodil on my head. Could she get sick?

    I applied minoxidil (or Rogain) to the top of my head about five to five and a half hours ago and went to bed. My cat decided to get my attention this morning my pawing the top of my head in the exact same spot. It’s been hours and the area is completely dry, but I don’t know how toxic this...

    Is it cruel to leave my cats in my bedroom all day if…

    I forgot to mention there are two litter boxes in the room and I leave dry food out all day. I feed them wet food in the mornings.
