So. I have compiled a complete list of the things that my cat will voluntarily eat on a regular basis: Ritz crackers, Friskies (shredded chicken only), plastic bags, Fancy Feast (gravy flavors only), cheese from Lunchables, and Primal freeze dried pork. That's all, folks. As much as he'd like...

Oh, you guys. I need some help. Goblin has been anorexic and vomiting for the past several days. He vomits occasionally after eating and usually some depo medrol helps but this time I could tell it was more severe. He couldn't keep water down. The vet ran a panel and his liver enzymes are...

Goblin was treated for an ear infection last year, and now I noticed that he's scratching at his ears again. Upon inspection, I can see that there is some watery, yellow-ish fluid in his ears, which is consistent to what the vet pointed out last time. The vet gave me a big list of things that...

My parents are fostering a stray mama cat and her five kittens, and I've been going over there to help (and love on the kittens.) Unfortunately it looks like someone dumped them, and I have not been able to find a rescue that can help with vet care. All the kittens are fat, fluffy, and...

So, my parent's neighbors just moved, and evidently they had been feeding a stray cat. Apparently the cat felt comfortable enough in their yard that she had five kittens there. I was just made aware of them tonight, I guess another neighbor had noticed her and took her some kibble and water...

Hi guys. I'm hoping one of you kitty experts here might have some guidance for me. Hopefully this is in the right forum, I wasn't sure whether to post here or in raw food. Goblin is six years old and is (probably) a herpes kitty. He has never had bloodwork done, but my last vet told me it's...

A little background on Goblin: I got him as a kitten, and he's just turned six. Over the years, we've done some food transitions: started with cheap dry food which is what he ate when I got him, to higher quality dry, to Friskies canned, and now to Weruva canned. He's a herpes cat, but...

Goblin is a herpes kitty and usually when he has a flare up, I supplement with L-lysine per his vet's instruction. When I noticed a goopy eye yesterday, I went to get the tube of Viralys and realized it was expired. I'd seen powdered L-lysine in health food stores, and so I figured it was...

Time line: July - I notice that Goblin has been scratching at his ears, and has a small abrasion on one of them (presumably due to the scratching). The vet says he has an ear infection (even though he didn't use an otoscope to look or anything), and prescribes drops. The scratching seems to...

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate thread or if this is possibly some kind of health issue, but Goblin is addicted to plastic grocery bags. I cannot leave a WalMart bag in his vicinity for even a few minutes, because he will literally try to consume it. If he gets his paws on a bag and I...

Hi all!  Goblin and I are new critters on the block.  We came searching advice for transitioning to a healthier diet (my idea -- definitely not Goblin's.  He thinks I'm trying to poison him now).  This is a photo from a previous Thanksgiving, where Goblin was having a bit of an identity crisis...

Hi all!  Goblin and I are new to this site but we've been perusing threads (literally "we" -- I'm not allowed to operate my computer without him!) and everyone seems so friendly and helpful here.  :) A little background: Goblin is a five year old neutered domestic shorthair gray tabby (with...
