My cat is almost 2-1/2 yrs old (29 mnths). She does not drink much water, about 4 oz most days. I wish she'd get more fluids since she had a nasty urinary tract infection about a year ago. She very unfinicky (is there such a word?) about dry foods. I give her mostly premium foods other than some...

From the time she was a baby when I would be busy on the computer I would hear her meowing in the living room or hallway. I thought she was looking for me so would just answer her "Here I am" "Come", etc. Guess I'm not too bright - after many months I realized that whenever she did this I...

Mandy still will NOT drink other than 1 teaspoonful of KMR once a day. We saw the Vet Monday & he said she looks good; skin turgor is good & no weight loss. However she still had temp of 103+ so he is still not happy about the situation. I told him I am having increasing difficulty in getting...

I posted last week about my cat that will not drink water, or anything else. She has not been drinking since the 5th (10 days ago) except for a few hours the morning after she received an injection of chloramphinicol (sp?) for a kidney infection. That morning she ate & drank normally from 8 am...

Continued saga of kitty who wouldn't drink. Monday evening after seeing Vet I began to worry again since she was still not drinking. She would act like she wanted to drink but as soon as her lips touched the water she would walk away. I was not real happy as I thought more about the vets...

Hissy, I appreciated your responses so thought I'd let you know about her vet visit this morning I took Mandy to the vet this morning just to check since I;ve been so concerned about her. On exam vet said she was perhaps a little dehydrated but not anything significant. She checked her over...

My kitty is just over 1-1/2 yr old. She has not had any health problems. But I've noticed over the past 3-4 days that she is drinking very little. I saw that when I went to refill her water bowls the level didn't seem to have changed. Also I usually see her drinking from her bowl in the...

I have a question, What defines a cat as a 'Feral' vs just a Stray Cat. My kitty is 4th generation of cats which have lived in the area of my friend's home. She has been feeding them for quite a few years. The eldest died last year. She has gotten the other moms spayed though not before they...

I thouht all cats liked fish but mine won't touch it. As tiny kitten tried Science Diet canned kitten food which is Ocean Perch & she wouldn't eat it at all. Later tried other flavors & she refuses anything with fish flavor - won't touch any 'fishy' flavored treats. Thought maybe she would like...

Any idea when the Cat Pages will again be available? Seems they have been down for quite a while. Thanks

Do your kitties 'steal' things & 'hide them? I knew my kitty like pens & pencils & other long skinny things & kept missing them. Looked under couch & other places but couldn't find them. This morning saw her trying to reach under the love seat which I thought was flush to the floor. Moved it...

I picked up some of the Bach's today & want to try it on my kitty. She has just become much more apprehensive about thing in general over the past few months. So hoped a bit of this would help relax her. My question is - If the dose for a human is 4 drops how much should I give to this 9-1/2 #...

This evening my kitty sat for at least 45 minutes in front of the TV. She watched it closely & kept pawing at the moving images. She is 15 months old and has never before paid any attention to the TV screen. Do your cats pay attention to the TV too? It was funny to watch her do this.

A friend of mine would like to do something about one of her cats who has bad dandruff. The cat is a short hair female about 10 yrs old. She is black & her fur is very dense. It is so thick that it is not easy at all to comb her. She is an indoor kitty. Her diet is Science Diet Maintenance...

Have you ever heard of a cat refusing treats? Mine has started this in the past couple of weeks. Its not that she doesn't like them; she will eat them if I leave them someplace where she can get them but only when I can't see her do it. I have tried giving her a treat after doing something...

A few weeks ago I found a couple of fleas on my cat. (not at same time, one on one day and another 2 days later). So I went to Vet & started her on Frontline. Last night I combed out another flea, a live one. Why is this? I thought Frontline was to kill them for a month. I put it on the 5th...

Should I be concerned that my 10 month old kitty eats only dry food? Until she was about 4 months old she ate both dry & canned foods. About 1/3 can & close to 1 cup of dry. As she has stopped growing so fast she has gradually decreased her daily intake. Now about 3/4 cup of dry but NO...

What could I use to keep ants from swarming over the cat food bowl? I live in So. California & the ant season is upon us. Two days ago I found ants swarming over the food in kitty's dish. I had to dump a day's supply of dry food. Then placed the bowl inside a shallow sort of tray filled with...

I have a 9 month old kitty & have been reading the Forums for a couple of months. Do wish I had found them earlier; there is so much good information and I've so enjoyed reading about other's kitties and their experiences. My kitty is just a mixed breed though I couldn't love her more if she...
