I am worried sick. He has always been a voracious eater. I thought i was helping him by giving him vaccines, but now I question this choice. They gave him his one year FELV, FCRPV, and rabies on Thursday. It is now Wednesday. He stopped eating about Sunday, and is constantly drinking from the...

He is almost 14 years old. This has been going on for about 3 years. He rarely coughs... except after he hisses. He hisses regularly... such as when he's on my lap, and I need to get up. A couple of years ago I took him to a vet, but he couldn't find anything wrong with him after doing tests...

What might be the cause of this? All the hair is gone on a certain section of his tail. He is a homeless cat who I have been feeding daily for the past 18 months. Has anyone seen this before? What is the cause? And what is the cure? I don't see any other hair loss besides here. This is a new...

I have 3 cats, and I am always happy when they eat. My worst fear is that they stop eating, I suppose. My 9 year old girl, Flower, is overweight. She has been for years. Everybody thinks she's pregnant because her stomach is large, and skims the ground. Lately I've noticed she never wants to go...

Hello my cat, Rocky, is 13 years old. He was just recently in for a check-up, and I forgot to mention his congestion to the doctor. He continously has to blow his nose out to make a clean passage for him to breathe. It's been like this for a couple of years. I think he got the virus from a feral...

It's hard to explain, and kinda subtle. But I notice him sometimes and it seems like his hindquarters walk a bit sideways for short periods of time. He is a stray, homeless cat. When I see things odd like this, it makes me worry. I do the best I can to keep him fed, and to fix his wounds when he...

I feed about 5 stray cats. I noticed this one scratching the side of his neck so I had a closer look. There seems to be a deep hole, and inside of it is something white, I assume its pus. I simply do not have the money to bring him to a vet. I am not sure I will be able to make my rent this...

My 13 year old cat has been throwing up all day, and he's not feeling good. I gave him some Cerenia that I had in the house. His vomitting has made him dehydrated. I know how to use an IV bag, and I have some sterile needles. Is there a place to buy an IV bag that is affordable? I took care of a...

There are 4 cats in the house; my two, and for the past 8 months, my roommate's two. Somebody is peeing in the living room. There are literally over ten different spots where they have been using it as a pee station. I just spent the past hour with a spot cleaner machine cleaning them. I am not...

When she moved in, she came with two cats. (a mama and her baby). The cats adored her, and whenever they heard her voice they ran down the stairs to greet her. But she is losing the bond with them. She is never here. She is seemingly not concerned about losing the bond. She is only concerned...

This is what my roommate does. She is hard of hearing. And she is one of those who has the TV on all night as background noise. The TV is loud because she is hard of hearing. I feel sorry for her cats. Cats have sensitive hearing. I really don't know how to broach the subject, if at all. I tend...

I have two cat shelters made from stryofoam boxes. They each have straw inside, and are lined inside with Mylar. Today I removed my queen sized mattress cover and cut it up to use for beds for the stray cats who sleep in my garage. I am tempted to put a piece of foam inside the shelters, as...

I like to give my cats quality canned food. But most of the time, the expensive canned food I buy for them goes to waste because they won't eat it. The only quality food they seem to like is Proplan. I get the Proplan pate. It has lots of gravy in it. I'm tired of experimenting with brands only...

My boy is 12. He is inside outside. I love him dearly. A couple of days ago I noticed he has a bad limp on his back leg. How do these things happen? He just hangs around the apartment outside. I can't envision any scenario where he could hurt himself. He is eating good, and doesn't seem to be in...

My cats love the Lil' Soups, and also the Fancy Feast broths. I put the broths in the blender and make the whole package lickable, otherwise if I just put it on a plate straight from the package, they will only lick the broth, and leave behind the meat. The Lil Soups are perfect as is. I wish I...

I have two shelters made from a Styrofoam boxes with straw inside. Both of them are occupied at night. They are out in a field so not close to an electrical source. Currently the temps are getting down to 25 degrees, and the cats are fine. But it won't be long til the temperatures will get...

She is 6 months old. I've had her since birth. She's never liked being petted. Never liked having her head or ears scratched. I brought her home at 4pm from the vet yesterday, and by late evening yesterday she was lovable. Wanted her her head rubbed, purring, giving me affection. What happened...

This is breaking my heart. The mama and kitten have been inseparable ever since birth. The kitten is 6 months old, and today she went in for her spay. Her mama has been hissing and growling at her ever since she's returned. What is going on? This is the mama's only kitten. I purposely kept them...

Actually I asked the receptionist. I just couldn't seem to understand it, or maybe she couldn't properly explain it. I took my two older cats in for their vaccines, as well as, my 4 month old kitten (technically, my roommates kitten... but that's not important). I brought all three of them in at...

I rent a townhouse, and got a roommate about 4 months ago. She arrived with a mama cat and her two week old kitten. The kitten is now over 4 months old. The mama cat is kind of aggressive. I have a male and female, they are 13 and 10 respectively. The mama cat goes after my female on a regular...
