    Should I be worried about Wet Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)?

    I have a fatty, too. She gained 3 lbs over a year. At first, she use to throw up all the time and I found out she was allergic to chicken. The vet suggested a chicken free diet. When I found a food she wouldn't throw up on she gained weight and now she's fat. I have 2 other cats that aren't fat...

    Too Many Cats? Knowing When to say When?

    I think 2 is my limit. I have 3 right now. One cat too many. I really love cats , but I feel the level of care goes down when you have too many. I have kids that play with all the animals in our house, but if it wasn't for the constant attention from my sons, I would feel guilty. Right now, I...

    Purina Cat food

    I had one cat that threw up on just about all the well known premium brands. I even tried RX cat food with no luck. It was when I tried Purina One sensitive systems that the vomiting stopped. She's been eating this food for about 3 years and vomits about once every 2 months. Recently, I added...

    Nature's Variety Instinct Dry

    My cats eat the lamb and oatmeal praire kibble. I mix it with Purina one. They seem to do well on it. One cat doesn't do well on chicken. Lamb NV was one of the few dry foods that doesn't have chicken. It seems to be gentle on the tummy, as well.

    Nutro Natural Choice

    I fed Nutro canned and dry a year before the recalls. At the time, we got a rescue cat , Captain. He became ill one evening after eating Nurto wet food. I remember Shasha would not touch the wet food that night and I thought it was VERY strange. Anyway, we had taken Captain to the vet because...

    3 Year Old Cat has Resorptive Lesion...

    Wow! Why is it so expensive? I just had my 3 year old cat teeth cleaned and that cost 120 dollars. If an extraction was needed, it would be an extra 30 per tooth and 15 for antibiotics. I live in Southern California and everything is expensive here.

    Rabies vaccine

    Yes , I have an option because I take my pets to two different vets. It's actually for my dog. In the state of California, rabies is required by law for dogs. It's the only vaccine that I get for my dogs every 3 years. I don't vaccinate my cats anymore. The cats only get kitten shots and no rabies.

    my cats are driving me crazy!

    Captain is not afraid of the vaccum! I can't really think of one thing he's afraid of. If I gave Captain away, he would probaly sleep with his new family like he has been with them since kittenhood. I know this because we got Captain when he was 4 years old, and he had 3 homes before us and...

    my cats are driving me crazy!

    Captain got out of the bathroom. I think one of my sons forgot to close the door. When he was in the bathroom, he meowed like we were torturing him. He kept everyone awake,too! I tried another solution and that was to close my bedroom door. My bedroom has double doors, and he was able to push it...

    my cats are driving me crazy!

    It does sound like the same cats! Captain is my pain in the neck at night, he will use my scalp as a scratching post. I like your suggestions and I'm setting up my bathroom just for Captain right now. I don't know if he will agree to be in there alone. He likes to sleep with his person (me)...

    my cats are driving me crazy!

    Yes, she has gone to the vet, and she needs to lose 2 lbs. She weighs 10lbs and is considered obese. The vet actually wanted me to feed her 1/8 cup 2x per day. I figure I'd slowly lessen her feeding to 1/4 2x per day. I know I'm not following the vets advice , but 1/8 c is barely anything. I was...

    Rental with 2 pet limit

    I guess it really does depend on the landlord. Like I said, I use to live in an apartment and I NEVER saw the management or owner. It was a no pet place, but everyone had pets. My neighbor had a St. Bernard, and I had a Golden Retriever ,and they even got together to play in the grass area. My...

    Rental with 2 pet limit

    Yes, I do know a rescue group that would take my cats and find good homes. I think I would have to move if I were found out. My sons are way too attached to our pets to give them away. I just spoke to a lady at my sons school and she has 3 dogs in her rental so it is possible.
