    Sad but helpful story...

    I myself experienced this sad event. My son found 2 ,2 week old kittens under his friends porch and brought them home knowing I would take them in. My vet kept one and I kept one. Neo went everywhere with me in a little sack straped to my chest so I could feed him every hour. He was fine and...

    Cat in Heat is driving me insane!

    Cat in Heat is driving me insane!

    I don't know what BYB means. Also I didn't know if anyone who replied to this thread was a breeder or not. I just wanted to say what I did before any breeders could get offended at what I said.

    Cat in Heat is driving me insane!

    Thank you Gayef for some advice. I was afraid I would be attacked by breeders for wanting to have a litter of Munchkins. I feel a strong need to make a statement about this. I say this, not to offend anyone but just because I feel strongly about this issue. When I first got a munchkin I thought...

    I haven't seen anyone mention if Iams is good or not. Do I have to worry about how I switch them to a new food? I know when I tried to begin switching to a high protien diet with the dry food, I had problems even though the switch was slow. As soon as I went back to Iams, I didn't have everyone...

    Cat in Heat is driving me insane!

    I will be having her fixed after a litter or so. I say this because Munchkins are rare and expensive and I have several family members and friends who want a baby. Yes, they could get another cat that needs a home, Lord knows there are plenty around. Yet having a special cat. like a Munchkin ...

    I would rather feed them wet food because they like it better. I have been feeding them the original dry Iams formula. I can't use just senior food because I have 2 young cats. When everyone is saying quality food, what exactly is considered quality food? I was always told Iams is the best, am I...

    Cat in Heat is driving me insane!

    I have 5 cats. Only one isn't fixed because I want to have 1 or 2 litters with her. Kagome is a Munchkin. She is having her 2nd heat cycle and she will not shut up! She was to be bred this week with a LaPerm/Munchkin but the plan fell thru and I have to find another stud. I don't know if there...

    Well, I know Molly's problem is not hairballs. The grass suggestion is a good one. I used to keep a patch of grass in a shallow, long pot but when I got the babies, i got rid of it because they were digging at the dirt. As far as feeding them separately, I have a hard time doing that. When the...

    My cats are 17, 16, 7, 1 1/2 , and 1 1/3. A suggestion to feed wet food bothers me. I believe that by feeding wet food the cats teeth get no way to get rid of tartar. Am I wrong?

    How many is too many?

    I used to have 3 cats and 2 birds. Then my son brought home 2 abandoned 3 week old kittens left under a porch. I kept 1 and my vets assistant kept one.I carried Neo around in a pouch, even at work, so I could feed him every hour. Neo at 6 weeks seemed healthy and happy and I had an incredible...

    I have taken her to the vet. She had several blood tests looking for diabetes ect. Because she is not acting sick, ie fever, lethargy, the vet just said watch her and he walked out of the room quickly. He is mad because she is not on a weight loss diet. Having 5 cats, 1 who is underwieght and 2...

    Dieter in trouble/ catfight hole

    I am in the health care field and I have had cats for 17 years. What worries more than the abscess is the glassy eyes. I would put the cat in a box and walk to the vet if I had to. I'll pray he survives!

    Molly, the cat that is vomiting, seems fine. I would say she vomits between 1-3 times a day. But then she may go days without vomiting at all. My concern is that sometimes the vomit is yellow and liquidy and sometimes it is undigested food. Why would there be such a difference in the vomit? And...

    Hissy, you sound knowledgable about cats vomiting so I wonder if you could help me. I have 5 cats and they have always eaten Iams dry food. Molly, 7, has been vomiting for a few months. I took her to the vet and they couldn't find anything wrong with her except that she is obese. Sometimes the...

    Multi-cat food?

    I tried the new multicat Iams. I have 5 cats. Taboo=16, Rufas=16, Molly=7, Gohan=11/2, and Kagome=1 1/3. Molly is very overwieght and Taboo is underwieght. I thought this was a good idea for a family of cats who have always eaten Iams. Two cats stopped eating and one began vomiting. So, I would...
