My Norma-Jean adores licking my butter knife every morning which has maybe 1/8 tsp of butter left on it. Is it safe?

Our 15 yr old darling is turning up her nose at almost all wet food. Dare I try dry kibble which I have avoided all these years?Or could that start problems?

...and has started to pee on the newspapers that surround the litter box but still poops in the box. She is 15. Is this senility? I have tried 5 different litters with the same result so I went back to her original litter. No difference.

A month or so ago I promised some of you that when I was able to determine which of the limited ingredient rabbit canned cat foods was the culprit in making my Norma-Jean scrach like fury I would get back to you with the results. Well it took a long, tedious time -- starting with Instinct (her...

This has been going on for a few weeks now. Nothing has changed except maybe a different litter smell(?) from the same litter company. She is 15 and never had a litter problem till now.

Sweet little 14 year old Norma Jean has hyperthyroidism. There are 2 forms of treatment we are considering. Many years ago our Edith-Ann had it and we rubbed thiamazole gel (wrong spelling?) in her ear which she took to very nicely. Three years ago we tried the same thing with Norma Jean's...

Every morning our cat finds me at the computer and starts her song and dance about how it's time for "breakfast please". So like a good mommy I say, "let's go eat" and she sings and prances to the kitchen area where I prepare her breakfast and give it to her, after which I then butter some...

My husband has always been the hands down favorite of our cat but now that he is getting cancer treatments she suddenly dashes away if he walks past her. She no longer lies down with him. She will come lie down on the bed in the middle of the night but seeks me rather than him, which is most...

My Norma Jean is allergic to chicken but needs that pill pocket for her hyperthyroid drug. Any suggestions please?

...just when everything was going well with Norma-Jean's Instinct limited ingredient rabbit pate canned food, they up and changed the formula and for the first time she sniffed and walked away. Shock is not the word! I am beyond upset. I switched her temporarily to some cans of Ziwipeak...

During the summer months I had been spraying Peppermint on my bed linens to keep little no-see-ums away. Now I have read that it could be dangerous for cats to breathe in that spray on the bed and wonder if unknowingly I have damaged my cat in any way. How dangerous IS peppermint spray? Thanks...

Norma-Jean has centered on rabbit and venison as her likes. Now she's just on the venison but previously I had divided her meals each day to one of each (different companies). Must I go through the usual process of introducing the old familiar rabbit and company, or can I just go back to that...

I have been giving my Norma-Jean limited ingredient canned rabbit for a couple of months now and took her off the limited ingredient 1/2 rabbit and 1/2 venison (which she also loved). It was a test suggested by my vet to see if she might not be allergic to rabbit. Well ... she is! And...

Is it okay to give a Tiki Cat Venison for breakfast and an Instinct Limited Ingredient Rabbit for dinner? So far I have been giving 1/2 of each in the same dish and the litter has been fine. Thanks for any replies.

My little kitty critter likes two separate company's foods. I do 1/2 and 1/2 of each. Is it safe or should she only be eating food from the same maker? Thanks for any comments.

My darling Norma-Jean has been scratching and licking herself for a very long time. I have tried practically everything from Hills C-D hydrolyzed protein limited ingredient (she hated it and walked away) to Blue turkey and potato limited ingredient (which she loved but still scratched) to Blue...

Hi Cat Lovers: By mistake I was sent a case of Blue Limited Ingredient Fish and Potato cans for my cat instead of the usual Turkey and potato. I alerted the Buffalo Blue company of the error and asked them what fish was in it. They told me it was whitefish, cod and pollock. I decided to try...

...who happens to love chicken or turkey food but snubs her nose at anything else. No meat, no fish except once she like mackerel for a bit and rabbit for a long time but that all changed. Problem: Norma-Jean scratches like crazy and brings scabs to above her eyes right under her ears. She...

As we have lost our beloved Little Nell today, our sweet Norma-Jean is sensing it and I was wondering whether it is safe for me to mention the name of Nell and speak with her about how sad it is. We talk like adults to each other and she might be trying to ask where she is. I want to be free to...

As if it weren't enough with our sweet Norma-Jean and her "itches" we now have an issue with our little Nell. Something must have fallen on her toe and she went around limping for a day and then the Vet took a look and said whatever got to her she has now got an infection and must have an...
