I feel that the best idea is to seek the vets advice - any giardia needs to be treated before you can do anything else - good luck

ok for some reason some ppl here think i forced my cat and I did not i did exactly what you say you did - I returned the cat to the litter box once - if it hopped out right away the swishing tail episode had nothing to do with me - the cat was trying to make up her mind if she wanted to squat...

yes that is why i do it very gently and no more than second attempt to leave the litter box and that was only the first 3 times that i did it - no need to any longer these days there is no restraint of any sort - I place my cat in litter box and she squats for me if there is something in her...

I understand that you believe the stress would be unbearable for your beloved furchild but let me put it this way the first thing that the vet told me to do when my cat was diagnosed with serious urinary complaint is to make the cat flush the urinary system with as much fluid as possible. he...

if the issue is down to bullying or staring from another cat then perhaps a hooded litter box will be helpful also perhaps you can stand guard at least some of the time beside the litter box while this cat is in the litter box I would also attempt to do what you do to kitty litter train a...

agreed I am saying that AFTER your cat has seen the vet and is properly treated then it does not hurt to gently remind it to pee by placing in litter box my advice was never to be taken as something you do instead of proper medical care - but once you have proper medical care as required by...

well it works like a charm lol and as I said i dont make the cat sit there longer than 2 attempts to leave at any session those who have ruined carpet and ruined furniture through cat peeing on things will appreciate it for what it is and just sitting beside the cat in the litter box and...

the first post says that this cat has been cleared by a vet already to the suggestion that a cat may be allowed to go on a little hunger strike - I dont mean days. I expect the cat will start to eat the food you give to it as soon as the craving for the other food subsides and in my humble...

this is a small tip for those who have a cat with peeing issues no matter if your cat has an illness or is peeing for another reason this may help if your cat is ill then your cat may not be getting cues it needs to go and pee until it is too late what i do is pee my cat before i go to bed -...

another idea to try is to place an empty litter box in the spot your cat poos in - perhaps your cat does not like kitty litter and would prefer an empty tray? I would also not keep it a secret that you are unhappy with his new pooing places so choose to start telling your cat what you think of...

I have already mentioned in another thread that I am totally opposed to commercially produced food but I will not go into that here the issue of being sick and I assume you mean throwing up is - change brands or flavours till you find one that none of your cats throw up the bloating you...

well it is my humble opinion that what I feed my cats is good for them lol I aim for wholefoods because I believe there are substances in foods that we have not even begun to study so how can we add them to processed foods? and as i said - this is just a personal opinion and i respect that you...

i feel for you losing a cat to vaccination site sarcoma - it broke my heart to lose my cat that way too any wonder why I dont listen to experts who want to give opinions? lol I go with what i observe works for my cats - if a food makes them puke it is off the menu. if it makes things difficult...

with all due respect the food I feed my cats has been proven I had 30 cats on it since 1998 [when i lost cats who were on commercially bought food] so what i feed my cats has stood the test of time already I guess I will never know exactly what vitamins and minerals are in what I feed them...

in the 70's all the vets were recommending cat food it is a complete food with the right vitamins and minerals and superior to anything you can feed them yourself they all said in may commercials so I believed them and fed my cat on cat food as recommended by vets then my cats developed...

i started feeding my cats home made food because I lost 2 cats to crystals in urine and they were young cats and they died young since I started the home made diet my cats have put on more muscle weight and none have come down with any crystals in urine problems and I have had about 24 cats...
