I've been using the Special Kitty (fragrance free) clumping litter that comes in the big plastic jug. When the litter gets wet and turns into a clump, it develops a clay slime on the outside of the clump. I believe it's the clay slime that's sticking to her fur. The clay slime then dries to a...

I bought a bottle from PetsMart earlier today, but I was alarmed to find "Made in China" on the bottle. I then ran each ingredient separately through Google, but I did not find anything dangerous about the ingredients. Many of the ingredients are found in human mouthwash. The Camellia Sinensis...

Hi Everyone,  The vet says my little Sonya has severe tarter buildup on her back molars. She's never had her teeth brushed and I want to start easing her into it if I can. I've been reading the C.E.T. toothpaste reviews on Amazon, but all of those reviews are from dog owners. Most of them say...

I have a little female blue russian cat who is 10 years old. She has always been very healthy all these years and has always had her vaccines regularly. Last Tuesday, she all off a sudden stopped eating or drinking. I took her to the vet on Thursday. The vet checked her over real good. She does...

Yesterday I stopped into Whitie's Pets to get a couple of cans of high-end wet food. One can is Innova and the other can is Merrick's. She turned her nose up at both those cans and insisted that I give her her usual Fancy Feast chunky chicken. She also prefers the FF Medleys shredded salmon...

All my life I've been told that raw meat is dangerous to humans and often deadly, but to my astonishment, I've been reading that many of you are feeding your cats raw meat. If a raw meat diet is safe and more nutritious than commercial food, I'm all for it, but can you people help calm my fears...

Tonight I noticed one of my most prized possessions, a polished chrome Ridgid garage vacuum, was a victim of one of the boy cats I'm taking care of. The spray ate right through the chrome and was on its way through the entire thickness of the metal had I not caught it in time. One of the zinc...

She has these bumps about the size of an ink pen tip right down the middle of her back. If I pick at them with my fingers, they flake off and leave a tiny blood spot behind. The bumps seem to be in groups of five spread along the middle of her back. There's no loss of fur in the area, but the...

She eats Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys canned food and Iams Healthy Naturals dry food. She is about two pounds overweight, maybe more. I feed her the wet food when she tells me to. The dry food that I call "cereal" is available to her on her tray along with her water 24/7. She is 7 years old...

The last time I was at the vet the doctor said that my cat is due for a dental and she recommended I bring her in within 6 months; well, it's about that time. I've heard that the anaesthesia can be dangerous in a sense that the cat may not wake up; is this true? What are the risks?

Hi all, My cat keeps scratching below her jaw line on her neck area. I can feel what seems to be bumps or scabs on her neck I assume from scratching so hard. Any ideas? I wish I could take care of this myself without dragging her into the vet; all of the cats I've ever had hate car rides.

A family in my neighborhood on March 22, 2008 fell victim of a murder; their cat was killed by someone using a blunt object, possibly a baseball bat. The family found their beautiful long haired white cat with its head bludgeoned in on the sidewalk. They posted flyers up on light posts around...

Hi, This my very first post. I have a 5 year old medium short hair smoke grey female that has weighed over 12 pounds on the last vet visit back in January. I don't think she is over 14 pounds now, at least I hope not. The vet did say she should way between 10 and 11 pounds for her frame size...
