My Owen is a big long-haired cat who has routinely vomited up hairballs once a week or so for his entire 7 years. I know that's basically normal and it doesn't worry me. Over the last week or so, however, he's been vomiting every day, sometimes more than once, and none of it has been a...

I have always fed my kitties Meow Mix. I know I am a bad mommy in that respect, but my parents always fed it to their cats and they turned out fine. Anyway, my 6-year-old has recently developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and based on that and my increasing guilt about feeding them cheap food...

Do you take your cat to the vet for regular dental care? The last few times I've taken my 6-year-old kitty in for shots or regular visits, the vet mentions that we need to have his teeth cleaned. There have been cats in my family for my entire life, and growing up I have no recollection...

We just got a new kitten, who has a little bit of the sneezies, so we took her to the vet for the first time to get her first round of shots, some medicine for the sneezies, and a test for FIV, just to be safe. Out of curiosity, how much (estimates, of course) would your vet charge for this? I...

Man Arrested for Burning Kitten on Grill LIBERTY, Missouri (AP) -- A man was arrested Tuesday for allegedly burning a kitten on a barbecue grill as several other people stood around and watched in amusement. A witness pulled the scorched, 7-week-old tabby from the hot coals, but it was...

My 15-pound indoor kitty has somehow gotten fleas. It took a while for me to notice, because considering that the little guy never even goes outside it didn't occur to me that he could even GET fleas. I applied Frontline once a month ago, and again about 3 days ago, and it still does not seem...

Hi, everyone! This is my first day on the site, so I thought I should introduce myself. My name is Molly, and I am the proud owner of a 5-year-old huge, gorgeous, black and white long-haired angel named Owen (see below). He has the most hilarious personality of any cat I have met, and about 80%...

Hi, everyone. I am new to the site, which I discovered this afternoon while searching the web for information about FIP, and I need your help and advice. Over the past couple of weeks my kitty Ruthie, almost a year and a half old, had started to get what I was classifying as "lazy". Then...

Hi, everyone. This is my first day here - I found this site while looking for information on FIP. I lost my sweet Ruthie, only 16 months old, last night to what my vet believes to be FIP. She was sweet and adorable and affectionate, and she will be greatly missed, not only by me and my fiance...
