Hello....I'd like to get my 3 cats the 3-year rabies vaccine just so they don't have to go through getting that shot every year. Is there an increased risk of cancer to the cat with this shot? Also, my Vet is charging 3 times the price for this shot - presumably because he'll miss getting the...

Hello all. I hope this topic hasn't been chatted about recently. I did look but couldn't find anything. My female, spayed, about 8 yr old cat has developed Hot Spots. She had one, it weeped, and it healed. Then just as it disappeared another one appeared. It's weepy too. She's still eating and...

Just an update....I brought a lovely black stray female into the house just before Christmas. I have 2 resident 3-yr old males. Venus, the little black female, has had a nice set up to herself and I've been trying to integrate her into the 'family'.  Tonight was the best....only one of my males...

Hello.....I recently brought in a stray from outside. She's Vet checked and all that. She's very sweet...and is very comfortable in my house now that she trusts me. My two 3-yr old males aren't as entralled as I am.....LOL... I read about introducing a cat into the home, but I'm not sure if it...

Buddy was a small grey male stray that had come around for eats for about 4 years. I hadn't seen him much in the last 9 months..once in June, once in October...then again Friday night. Except for his eyes he always looked fine. I felt sorry for his being out in our bitterly cold winters, but he...

I wash my cats wet food bowls after each meal. My questions is about their dry food bowls. I don't wash them every day.....maybe not even every week...I didn't think it was necessary. I do wash them when I think about it. What does everyone else do? Do you wash their dry food bowls every day...

How important is it?? Of my four cats, my latest one is the only one that I actually dewormed. My first kitten, I took directly from its birthhome...and I never dewormed him..perhaps the Vet gave him something. My two pet store kitties received StrongT (?) dewormer before I took them home. I...

My Vet has prescribed Codeine for Phoebe to take on an 'as needed' basis. She sometimes has pain for possible arthritis. She didn't do well on the Metacam...so this is just for those times when she looks like she needs it. Any adverse effects of codeine that anyone has experienced? I haven't...

My girl, Phoebe, is 12 yrs old and has either arthritis or some other joint issue. She seemed to be in pain last weekend, wasn't coming to eat, snapped at me (very unusual)...was wide-eyed....and seemed miserable. I couldn't get her into the Vet until Monday morning. On Saturday, my sister gave...

"She is not biting at herself, her tail is not rapidly twitching and she is not running about crazed" The above is a quotation from another thread..but it reminded me of what my cat, Max, used to do. It happended mildly during his first year..starting at about 8 months old...tapering off till...
