I never seem to know what canned food my 3 cats like. I have a diabetic 12 year old and so I get the prescription DM dry food, which my 2 non-diabetics do like. As far as giving them canned food, I've tried all sorts of different brands: the better quality, such as Felidae and Innova, and...

We adopted Stella last Thanksgiving weekend. Several weeks ago she started peeing on the dog bed in the family room. I immediately took her to the vet to eliminate any possible medical issue and she of course was fine. We have two other cats and 2 litter boxes, which are cleaned at least once...

Both Rusty and Smithers have dentals each year. Smithers is approx. 11 years old and has only 4 teeth left; Rusty is about 8 yrs. old and has about 11 teeth left. Both have suffered from gum disease which left untreated can cause more serious health problems. The first time their fur started...

When last weighed: Stella was approx. 8 lbs; Rusty about 10; and Smithers, well my big boy was about 16.5 (he apparently lost a couple of ounces).

I had a cat years ago who got skunked and the local animal shelter recommended diluting some Massengill Douche Powder and wiping down the cat. (Yes, there are jokes that can be made to be but it WORKED!)

My 2 male cats have never let me brush their teeth and so they have to go for dentals. Both have on-going gum problems which has resulted in teeth being extracted. After their last dental (to the tune of $350 :argh) Smithers, my 11 year old, has 4 teeth left, Rusty, my 6 yr. old has 11 or 12...

All three of my cats are microchipped and wear safety collars with ID tags, bells. They are indoor cats, but one of them is always trying to sneak out using the dogs as a decoy. In the event a cat does escape, I can hear the bell. Since many people in the general public might not know about...

My 11 year old Smithers recently had it and the vet put him on an cream, dermatologic antibiotic which did clear it up. Unfortunately I can't remember the name.

This is one of the reasons why my 3 cats all have bells on their collars. Rusty is always trying to sneak out. His usual modus operandi is try to sneak out with our two dogs by hiding under or between them when the dogs are let outside in the yard. However, his bell is a dead give-away so I...

Thank you both for your comments. After dinner last night, Stella stayed out in the kitchen, laying on one of the chairs and just kind of taking in what was going on. She slept on the chair all night as was eagerly awaiting breakfast. We are going to take things much slower; petting and...

We added Stella, a 1-2 yr. old cat, to our menagerie of 2 neut. male cats (Smithers 10-11 yrs. old and Rusty 6 yrs. old)) and 2 neut. male dogs (Gatsby, a Greyhound and Gordy, a Golden Retriever mix) Thanksgiving weekend. Stella is okay with the cats, and will tolerate Gordy, but she's still...

I have the same problem with Rusty trying to run out the doors. All my cats have collars with bells (and ID) on them. So whether I'm letting the dogs out the back door or someone is going out the front, if we hear a bell, we know to grab the cat before we open the door.

Glad to have found this forum. My husband and I are owned by 3 cats -- Smithers (approx. 10-11 yrs.), Rusty (6 years) and newly adopted Stella (approx. 1-2 yrs.) -- and 2 dogs -- Gatsby, a 6 yr. old Greyhound and Gordy a 5 yr. old Golden Retriever mix. Smithers and Rusty were adopted from...
