Hello all, I have 3 cats, and have 3 huge sterilite container litterboxes in the house, and I use the Petco brand unscented scoopable litter.  I scoop 2-3 times a day and today was no different from any other day.  Came home, fed the cats, and then scooped the boxes.  Then took out the trash...

Hello all, My cat Tripper is running from box to box and squirting a bit in each again.  He was JUST seen in mid- October for having cystitis while on Purina UR canned food.  Then the emergency vet got the catheter stuck in him, and an emergency surgery was needed to remove it.  While doing so...

So after syringing baby food on Wed and Thurs, Tripper started eating again on Friday.  Annnd.. he started having poo'ing issues.  Or constipation I believe?  Which is weird, because the vet said that with all the fluid in his intestines, he was likely to have diarrhea.  But he's been running...

Hello all, My cat Tripper (the same one with the cystitis and bladder surgery issue 2 months ago), was diagnosed with gastroenteritis today.  Last Wed, I found scraps of paper towel that was dug out of my trash can (usually latched, but I forgot to latch it that night).  I had no idea how many...

Hi all, A month ago, Tripper had a bout of cystitis, and is well by now.  Yesterday, noticed my other cat  Putz (I have 3) kept going into the litterbox.  She went after dinner, and peed and poo'd normally.  Then I noticed soon after, she zipped in again.  And right after zipping in, she hops...

Hi, My cat Tripper's been on Zylkene for over 2 weeks at this point.  The vet suggested that he take it to help with his stress levels.  I have no idea if it helped or not, since the 2 weeks after he was given it, he had an e-collar on and was on all sorts of drugs.  Right after I removed his...

Ugh.  So after 2 weeks of crystals in his bladder, then cystotomy, it looks like my cat Tripper now has allergies.  This is pretty much the same thing that occurred during his last bout of cystitis 3 years ago.  I can't figure out why he suddenly has allergies, just like it did 3 years ago.  If...

Hi, My cat Tripper had a cystotomy on 10/14, and the next day I went to my regular vet to get an e-collar for him.  He's been wearing it ever since.  He's got it off a few times, but this time, (try #5), it is finally staying.  By day 10, Friday evening, I removed his e-collar to see if he can...

Hello, I posted this on Saturday evening:  http://www.thecatsite.com/t/286387/emergency-vet-or-wait And since then, have taken my cat Tripper to the emergency vet and got Hill's S/D and C/D, Buprenex, and Clavamox.  I've also spoke with my regular vet today to give her the updates on what's...

In 2011, I posted about my cats having UTI issues, and all have been resolved with switching to canned foods with added water.  My boy Tripper has done well on canned Purina UR food with added water and has not had a recurrence since.   However, I've noticed oddness today.  For one, he's been...

Hello all, I've recently switched to a new catsitter, and of the 3 cats, 1 refused to come out of hiding to interact with him.  This can be an issue since another of the cats will just eat all of her food while she hides from him.  Fortunately, I've only been away on short 2 day trips, so she...

Hello all, My cat Tripper likes to chew on soft objects, stuff like cotton shirts, socks, underwear, occasionally bed sheets, and lately pillows. He even goes after flannel blankets, or just anything soft. In his case, I think it's completely behavioral. When he is under stress, he cannot...

Hello all, I am wondering if any of you have encountered a cat that prefers 1 litterbox (even though there are 3 giant 30gal Sterilite container litter boxes.) My cat Putz pee'd outside the box when her preferred box was occupied last time. I put another box in an adjacent room. The other 2...

My cat Smokey is a big love-meower. She would usually come by, give me a pitiful meow and immediately leap on and start drooling and kneading. She is still like that, however lately her meows are odd? She would come up, meow, and her mouth remains open with that odd grimace expression...

Hello all, I've written previously to ask for help on my cats health and food issues. Thanks so much for everyone's help! Here are some of the threads. http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=232199 http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=232265...

I am starting to lose my mind at this point.. but if anyone can help, I'd truly appreciate it! My cat Tripper has decided to add shooting out pee from the litterbox to the list of problems. Since the 2nd week of May, he's been in and out of the vet office. Treated for anal gland infection...

Since last spring (2010), I've switched my cats from Blue Spa (Buffalo) over to this food: http://shop.halopets.com/Dry-Cat-Foo...or-Chicken-3lb Ingredients look excellent and it has lots of great reviews. A friend with her 2 cats and I (with my 3), all switched to this food. Cats were doing...

Hello all, I use a black light to locate the urine spots on the carpet and treat them with enzyme cleaners (Nature's Miracle and Petastic.) After multiple treatments, it seems that the area STILL glows. Does anyone also experience the same thing? And if so, were you able to find a way to...

Hello all, Sorry for so many posts, but lately, so many things are going awry with my cats. (here are some of my earlier posts: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=232199 and http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=232265) The latest thing that is worrying me is Tripper...

So far, 2 of my 3 cats have urinary issues, one with crystals and the other with blood and bacteria in the urine. Both are doing better with the antibiotic and painkiller treatment. All 3 are eating the Purina Pro plan with urinary support. The last time I brought the cat with the crystals to...
