Hi everyone! My cat had some very serious UTI issues earlier this year that resulted in a major surgery and a mega vet bill for me. The vet has put him permenatly on Science Diet Prescription C/D, which dissolves bladder stones. However...it's an awful quality food! The first three ingredients...

So recently, I've noticed Alcott's rear is...um...less than pleasant. I've had to take a warm paper towel to his area about two times a week or more (which he's just THRILLED about, let me tell you). Is there a reason he'd suddenly have a problem cleaning the area? Is there anything I can add to...

Hi everyone! My cat, Alcott, has horrible teeth-- and they finally caught up to him. Despite a diet of Natural Balance green pea & duck and regular cleanings, he had to have his remaining 8 molars removed. All he has left are his front teeth, and so I'm hoping to switch him over to soft food...

I coach at a high school and after practice Monday, a cat ran up to me and followed me to my car. She was so adorable I couldn't bear to leave her, so I brought her home-- but I absolutely cannot keep her; I have one cat already and while I love the critters, one is all I can financially or...

My cat, Alcott, has horrible teeth-- I think. I've never had cats before, so it's hard to be certain, but his breath smells terrible and his back teeth are very discolored at the base. He eats a high quality food, and hasn't stopped eating/wanting to eat at all. I've tried brushing his teeth on...

I've been giving Alcott Grizzly Salmon Oil in hopes it will control his shedding-- he's allergic to soy, so most no-shed products are out for me. I searched the forums, and while I found a lot of posts regarding GSO for skin health, I couldn't find anyone on if it helps shedding or no. I've only...

My cat has long been well-trained to not get on countertops. Sure, he's had the slip up now and then, but overall, he's always been good about it. Until recently. Apparently the allure of counters came knocking and was too wonderful to ignore. He's getting on every countertop in the house...

Ugh...You know it must be pretty bad when I actually post in a forum about my cat's gas issues. It's been a problem for a few months now, and smells *terrible*, not to mention is a little embarrassing when I've got company over. I've changed his food, but am limited in my options, since he's...

I've been dealing with this all summer, and I'm to the breaking point- Alcott is toilet trained (no litterbox). He has never had a problem with this until BOOM, one day, he starts peeing and pooping on the couch downstairs. It's escaladed from there-- pottying on my bed, laundry, blankets left...

My cat doesn't like being shut into or out of certain rooms (can't blame him) but unfortunatly it's simply necessary sometimes. The problem is he digs/scratches the doors to try and get in/out. He wears soft paws, so its not a problem because he's clawing, but the digging is RUINING my carpet...

My cat, Alcott, is about a year old now. Until the past month, he's been fine, and then randomly he's begun using the bathroom on my bed or the couch. It only happens if I leave him out-- if I leave him in the spare bedroom with the approproate toilet, he doesn't balk at it in the slightest...

My cat has allergies-- in the fall and spring for about two weeks or so his eyes get very red and he has sneezing fits. This spring his eyes seem to be producing a lot more...um..."gunk" than usual (is it mucus?). I'm wiping it away, but I wondered if using some generic human eyedrops (nothing...

My cat is 100% toilet trained now. I haven't been using a litterbox for over a month, and he never has accidents. That is, unless I leave a bedroom door open. If I leave it open, he inevitably potties on my bed! Is there a reason Alcott loves to poop and pee on beds? Not couches, not chairs...

For *weeks* now, Alcott has had a little bit of blood in his stool. I took him to the vet, they ran a stool sample, and found nothing. He doesn't have worms-- got treated for both types months ago. WHAT could this be? I'm getting concerned because while it used to be blood just on the outside of...

Alcott has suddenly decided to stop using the toilet, which I spent ages training him to use. Because he's ONLY pooping outside the litterbox, the vet thinks its behavioral. I can understand, sort of-- London left, then more toilet training, then I went away for the holiday, but WHAT can I do...

The vet charges an arm and a leg for a basic wormer-- last time I was given something I had to give to Alcott by mouth once daily for worms. Is there a safe over the counter wormer I could use? The vet just charges the office fee plus the medicine, and while I want my kitty to feel better I...

I recently found myself short one kitten, so I'm down to just one. I'm worried that after having a kitty playmate for so long, he'll be bored. Other than the usual cat dancer games, what other interactive human/cat games can we play?

I'm so stressed out about London. I love the little cat so much, but he isn't pooping in the litterbox. Because he seemed to have such an aversion to toilet training, I stopped and put the litterbox back up. But now he sometimes poops in it, but sometimes poops in the corner of the spare...

I've tried feeding my cats only wet food to help shedding, but because my schedule is so uneven I feel I'm doing more harm than good, since I have to actually be home to open wet food. So they're back to Nutro Complete Kitten food for now. But Alcott has started shedding SO much (How is it...

I'm starting to wonder if my cats are really playing or not. My oldest (by a few months) is very much an alpha cat- this is his house, I just live in it (his name is Alcott). The youngest, London, is very shy around visitors but very affectionate with me. Occasionally while playing I hear London...
