Kitty absolutely hates going to the vet! poor thing had a bladder stone, and was in several times before her surgery- each time they had to shave a section of her fur for blood tests, once they gave her fluids under her skin since she was reacting to an antibiotic they gave her, then in for...

Kitty used to scratch her face in the spring to the point where she was losing fur in the spring. took her in and the vet gave her a shot after saying it was some type of allergy. he said if it continued to be a problem we could test for what kind of allergies she had, but it seems like whatever...

this could also be a sign of a bladder stone. hope not, but had to mention it....

Kitty was a stray (at the same shelter twice when we got her)so she got to be a pretty good mouser. we had a mouse problem when we got her, but not for long! we would get a couple when the weather started to get cold, but she would take care of them real quick! she always tried to play with them...

well, thought I'd give you an update on how Kitty did. my original plan was to spend our first night there before everything was there. so the kids and I loaded up the car and put her in her carrier and away we went. before this her only car trips were to and from the vets, so she was a little...

right now, the plan is kind of a mixture of both. we won't have her at the house when we are painting (don't think any of us will sleep tbere while we are painting!), but I would like to give her a chance to get used to the house before we are all moved in... not sure if that will help or if it...

we are going to be moving soon; we take possession of our new house on Monday and hope to be fully moved in a couple of weeks (have a couple of projects to do before we move in). my question is how can I make this transition as stress free for Kitty as possible? she is approx 7 yrs old (we got...

Kitty will follow ANYONE if they head down the hall towards the bathroom (even my 9 year lod son who she usually stays away from). If we stop anywhere along the way she will stop and look back and meow at us like she's telling us to come on and hurry up. Her foos dish is in the bathroom, and she...

Last year Kitty had a similar problem and the vet said it was an allergy and gave her a Prednisone shot too. But it worked and she hasn't had a reaction this year. Do your cat like to sit by a certain open window? Maybe he is allergic to something outside that window. I planted different flowers...

We bought Kitty's in March, and it's still got a couple of spots she hasn't touched yet. (she only scratches in one spot, and I turn it about once a month; does she have me trained, or what?? ).

Haven't thought about microchipping her. Don't know if she would like that since it involves a trip to the vet (she really hates going to the vet!! ) It is worth thinking about, though. Thanks.

It took me awhile to convince my dr that I wasn't going to give up Kitty because of allergies (she doesn't cause a reaction even though the tests say I'm allergic to cats)! We have 2 filters from Sharper Image, so that there is always one on even while the other one is being cleaned and they...

Another kind of scratching post (pad, really) that cats like is made out of cardboard. We saw them at my aunt's house; she has 4 cats and about 3 of these and 3 sisal covered scratching posts in her living room. The cats don't use the furniture when they have all of these available! We bought a...

I want to put a collar on Kitty, so that if she does get out (and she always tries, just doesn't always succeed) people will know she has a home and is not a stray. I have tried this before, but Kitty doesn't like collars. When we got her, I bought her a collar that she could get out of if it...

We use a soft bristles brush on Kitty. It is a pain to get the hair out of it, but it is the only thing she will let us use on her. Maybe because it looks kind of like my daughter's brush. She is also a domestic shorthair, and she sheds kind of erratically. One day hardly any shedding, and the...

This may not be an option, but have you considered having the vet do it? When Kitty had her surgery last year, they clipped her nails for us (of course we didn't know they were going to do it, but that's another story) as a "service" to us. If your cat doesn't like her nails getting clipped, at...

I agree with not hitting an animal. If you hit them they will remember that, and will be afraid of you or become aggressive with you because they think you are going to hurt them. I have found that if I pick Kitty up by the scruff of her neck (supporting her bottom too with the other hand) and...

sorry things didn't work out for Casey at your friend's house. I hope you are able to work something out with the other cats to make him happy again. good luck!!

Second guessing yourself won't help, it will make you feel worse. You did the right thing. It would have been much harder to find good,loving homes for your other cats, and you would be missing ALL of them instead of just missing the one which would just make you feel worse in the long run. I'm...

Giving him up will definitely be a hard thing to do, no doubt about it. But it IS the right thing to do! If he is unhappy, you are unhappy. If you know he has a loving home and can still see him it will be a little easier for you (not much, I know), but in the long run itt sounds like the best...
