My girls are 13, indoor only and last received a distemper shot around age 6-7. My vet at the time agreed since they were strictly indoor only, we could forego their shots, save for rabies. We have a dental appointment for both girls next week as their teeth are in bad shape. Appointment was...

Are they interchangeable and you only need to use of the three? Or do they offer slightly different benefits and uses? I've been away from the forum for many years. I remember using egg yolk lecithin for awhile--without noticeable improvement with my cats and their hairball problems. Well it...

I posted this a few years back and didn't receive much feedback (if at all). The problem remains so I'm posting again in hopes some new ideas pop up. Quite simply, the more I brush my cats, the more hairballs (or more accurately for one of them, retching without much hair) appear. Does anyone...

I have a nine year girl who has always used her litter box. She always likes to step into the box and pee. But in the last year, she's gotten into the annoying habit of stepping in just enough and half the time, the pee just about stays in the box. The other half, some or all of the stream...

My cat eats multiple brands of wet food but only Natural Balance chicken and peas limited ingredients dry food. Periodically. I attempt to introduce a different brand as I worry about relying on one brand of dry food. Unfortunately new dry food usually leads to soft poop and I end up donating an...

Dory had diarrhea yesterday morning.  She then ate her breakfast but has since refused food.  Only a few minutes ago did she eat some kibble on her own.  I syringed watered down baby chicken food into her earlier today.  Other than being slightly quieter than usual, she looks and sounds fine...

Picking your brains as I prepare for winter and time away from the cats. First, a very long story short, about a year ago I had to start separating my cats due to redirected aggression.  My sister cats live together now--except when I'm not home.  When I'm away I separate one cat to the bedroom...

I've posted a few times on re-introducing my cats due to redirected aggression.  I won't go into the gory details again, but we are once again, going through the process because Dory, the skittish redirector of aggression had another episode last month.   I had a couple of "hmmm, whatabout...

I was away last week and when I returned, my Dory has had clear discharge every day.  It's really clear and watery and she's not sneezing at all.  I suspect I left the AC running a little too strong, especially for the bedroom which faces north and is always noticeably colder than the rest of my...

I called Pet Valu for a price check on Evo and I was told the brand is going out of production.  I asked follow-up questions to be sure and the PV employee assured me this is true.  Apparently the news was emailed to stores.  PV is having a 40% sale on all Evo items to clear their stock.  They...

http://www.thecatsite.com/t/268349/redirected-cat-aggression-separation-making-it-worse My cats were separated for about 5 months and were on fluoxentine (generic prozac), for about 7 months due to redirected aggression after a couple of neighborhood cat visits.  I chronicled their progress...

I'm not shilling for Wellness or Amazon...just pointing out a good deal for those who do feed their kitties Wellness.   I have a standing order with Amazon to deliver a case of 12 large cans of Wellness every other month.  I was checking to see if my next delivery was in July or August and...

One of my cat has this problem.  It doesn't happen often but it's happened often enough over the 5 years she's been with me.  Basically, she poops and she bolts from the box like she's been hit by rocket.  In her trail, is 2-3 three little poop tootsie rolls.  It seems like she can't quite get...

A thread on how to leave wet food out for cats prompted me to start this thread. In the other thread, I suggested feeding wet food and leaving out frozen cubes to be eaten a few hours later.  This is my routine.  I feed my two cats canned food for breakfast.  I will then leave 1 or 2 cubes per...

Josie, my alpha cat, will often take care of the litter box after her sister, Dory uses it.  Usually it's after Dory has a BM.  Dory does her business and does a little bit of covering and scratching of the high sides of the box.   Almost immediately after Dory takes off, Josie investigates...

Long story short--one of my cat goes psychotic when she sees a cat outside.  I found this out when a cat visited last November.  This resulted in redirect aggression, a 4 month separation of my sibling cats and prozac to calm them down.  They are still on prozac though I've tapered the dosage...

My cats are on generic prozac and I'm thinking of weaning them off the drug.  They were put on the drug due to redirected aggression-fights.  They were separated for 4 months and over two weeks ago, they started living together again.  One cat is already starting the process, she used to take...

Why didn't I pick it up... So there was a tiny bit of cotton thread on the sofa.  The type that's a scrap off an end of cloth.  My cat jumped on the sofa, licked at it and swallowed...My reaction was a very smart, "Why would you do that?" I'm not sure if I should induce vomiting?  Or give her...

I use Composure treats to help in the re-introduction process for my two cats.  I'm looking to go to the source by buying Theanine and adding it to their food.  Will it work as well without the mix of the other supplements (B1 and Colostrum?) in the Composure treats?   If so, any word on...

One of my cats has turned her back on fish oil.  I'd prick an enormous 1200mg capsule and squirt the oil on canned food for my two kitties.  One isn't bothered by the oil but the other now goes on strike. My cats take medication via size 4 capsules.  It made me think about how handy tiny fish...
