My cat has been on orbax for over a week, for a urinary problem. Today, she is refusing to eat. So far, she has only missed one meal but I've already sent an email to my Vet to see what I should do. Has anyone had a similar experience? I'm wondering if it's the orbax that has taken away her...

My cat recently started to have arthritic symptoms and now chooses to sleep on the couch instead of the carpet. I worry that, at times, jumping onto the couch may be hard for her. I'd like to get her a bed that can sit on the ground, easy for her to use. However, I was thinking that memory foam...

Has anyone tried those cat mats that are supposed to reflect back a cat's own heat, to keep them warmer? Do they really work?

I used to feed my cat on a low ironing board because that was the only place ants couldn't get, and it was easy for her to jump. However, now she is older. Has anyone found a way to feed your pets on a low surface without ants invading?  Thank you.

My cat is 14 years old and I want to start giving her glucosamine. I started looking at the products made for cats, but some expressed concerns that sometimes there are other ingredients that may or may not be good. What glucosamine product do you use? Have you noticed a big difference in your cat?

My cat was sick over a week ago, refusing to eat for 3 days. I took her to the Vet after the first day, they gave her anti-nausea med and fluids. She refused her own food but ate another food I bought. So, I started giving her that food. For the past several days, she will eat a little, then go...

My cat recently went through three days where she refused to eat or drink, and barely moved. I took her to the Vet (after the first day of this) and they said all they could see what that she was dehydrated. I had just taken her for her annual exam and blood work two weeks ago, which showed...

My cat is 13 years old and she was put on antibiotics for a urinary tract infection. She has been on them for about 1 week, but today she hasn't eaten. She sleeps all day long, she hasn't leff the spot. Could this be the medication? I'm really worried. At first I thought maybe she was reacting...

My cat is 10 years old now. I've never had pet insurance, but am thinking it might be a good idea. Do you have any advice, pros and cons, etc? Where do you obtain pet insurance? Thanks so much for any tips or suggestions.

I had my cat's teeth cleaned a while back. Today, the Vet said there is some calculus but it isn't bad. Does anyone have advice on the various products available, to help keep their teeth clean? There are drops to add in their drinking water, as well as teeth wipes and sprays. I tried the...

I apologize because I have posted this question before, but I cannot get the "search" feature to call up my old posts. I am taking my cat for her annual exam this weekend. She is 10 years old, indoors only, and the only pet. I only want to give her the shots she really needs. What would those...

My cat is over 10 years old now. She is medium-haired and shedding a lot, which is normal. I brush her fur often, so she won't swallow as much of it. She has always dealt with allergies in certain seasons and will get a patch on her back of itchiness where she makes a hot spot. Also under one...

What do you use that is safe for your cats, to clean the carpets after they have thrown up? Thanks so much.

I'm dealing with ants coming into my kitchen, I think they are pavement ants...their trails and piles of dirt can be seen in cracks outside. I tried the diatomaceous earth, and if it killed any, it did not kill all. Then I tried some of the other natural suggestions, but nothing seems to be...

My cat has a hot spot she keeps licking, on the middle of her back. The Vet examined it last week and said if she keeps irritating it, we would have to put one of those plastic cones on her to stop her. She absolutely hates those. Is that the only way to keep a cat from getting to a hot spot? Or...

I like to use the wheat or corn litters because if my cat should swallow or lick some of it, it would be nontoxic...and will not be something that could clump up in her system and cause problems. I like odorless cat litters because I live in a small apartment and the whole place would literally...

I had posted a few days ago, and people gave me really great advice on what vaccinations my cat might or might not need. I appreciated all the advice very much, and was able to bring notes with me to the Vet. The only vaccine my cat needed this year is the Purevax rabies one, because it is...

My cat is very timid, she hides at any strange noise. She hates going to the vet so I hate having to take her...but I know it's for her own good. She always hides if she senses something and she sheds a lot of fur on the visit. One time several years ago a Vet heard something with her heart...

I am taking my cat in for her annual exam. What vaccinations are necessary? She is an indoor cat, there are no other cats in the home. She is 10 years old. Thank you...

Does anyone have suggestions for ant repellents that are used safely around cats? I have a severe ant problem...outside the apartment and coming into my kitchen. I want to use something that is absolutely harmless if my cat is near it...any suggstions? Thank you.
