(Sorry for the double post -- posted on kitten care before, but think here is more appropriate.) Let me start by saying that due to my husband's job, we are currently in Manila, Philippines, so when giving advice, please note that we do not have a Petsmart or many vet options nearby (hence why...

Let me start by saying that due to my husband's job, we are currently in Manila, Philippines, so when giving advice, please note that we do not have a Petsmart or many vet options nearby (hence why I'm asking for help here). Anyway, when we moved to our new place 2 weeks ago, I found this tiny...

I've had Lucas for 3.5 years now and he has always been a very sweet cat. Never been afraid of people and is a social butterfly in general. Anyway, about 3 weeks ago his behavior changed a bit. Out of nowhere he started attacking me. It doesn't last long, but it is very scary when he gets...

I came back from a 3 day trip last monday and found Lucas going into the litterbox every 10 minutes, but barely anything coming out. He had also peed in spots around my apartment. On Tuesday morning I took him to the vet, who did an urinalysis and found out he had a minor UTI, and prescribed...

So Lucas literally just went to the litterbox and he has diarrhea. He has been fine up until now (he's pretty "regular" pooping once a day, so yesterday he was normal), he eagerly ate his dry food this morning, and now won't touch his wet food (which he usually attacks). Absolutely no...

So Lucas has crystals in his urine. The doctor prescribed antibiotics and also said that Lucas needs to eat Hill's C/D prescription diet FOR LIFE. The hell?? Now is the prescription diet really needed? The reason I ask is that I've done tons and tons of research on cat food when I got Lucas...

So I went to get some Chicken Soup Light food yesterday and mentioned to the guy at the pet store that I still had a unopened bag of their regular food at home, but that my Lucas was getting fat. He said that the light food will not help me, as it has a lot more carbs and cats need protein...

Lucas got in contact with the "Combat Roach Killing Gel" He had a bunch of it over his fur, not sure how much he ingested from licking himself. I had moist pet shampoo towels and have cleaned him with that, his fur is still a bit sticky. I called the emergency clinic and they gave me the...

When I got Lucas two months ago, I noticed that on his head there's a stripe from his ear to his eye (on both sides) where he has a lot less hair, you can actually see his skin (he even has a couple of freckles there). It's not noticeable from afar, but you can definitely tell when he gets...

Lucas has started to do this at least once a day, when I'm in bed. It's painful (feels like sandpaper on my eyelid!) Most of the times when I'm not asleep yet I feel him sniffing and move my face before he goes for it, but when I'm sleeping he wakes me up after taking a full lick! Ouch...

Lucas is my first cat, I'm still learning all about it (and this website is loads of help!) I read you supposed to completely change the litter once a month. How about with clumping litter? Since you're removing the clumps, isn't it assumed that the litter that stays behind is clean? Should...

Don't know if any of you have read this (or mentioned this already, so I appologize if this is a duplicate post -- I'm new here, still trying to catch up!) but this 82 year-old woman here in VA had over 200 stray cats in her house (a lot of them already dead!) and a second home with more...

Hi I'm new here, just thought I'd do a quick introduction... Since I'm at work now, and can't spend much time online, here is the link on Catster from my baby Lucas: http://www.catster.com/?164220 He says hi!
