Snsorap5, after dealing with Rocky's URI problems I realized how lucky I've been. My first cat, Bandit, came from the Humane Society and was never sick a day in his life, even as a kitten. These URIs are nasty! Hi, RBG! Great minds think alike: I talked to my landlord about cleaning the...

Just a guess--intestinal blockage, if he eats enough of it?

I didn't want to post a reply until after I went home and checked out Angel's gums. She finally let me look at them, after she fussed for about five minutes. They're pink, but they do seem to be a bit on the pale side. And come to think of it, she's never had any blood work done. That's...

Angel is my seven year old Turkish Angora female. For some reason known only to her, she likes to lick the porcelain around the bathtub drain. After I take a bath I have to stop her from jumping in the bathtub before I clean the tub. I'm very careful not to use strong chemicals in the house...

We've been in this apartment about three months now, and whoever lived here before was not exactly the cleanest people in the world. I nearly broke my back cleaning all that ground-in dirt at the corners of the floors. I was especially careful to rinse with clean water, so that the cats...

Good grief, that was QUICK! Hissy, I thank you, and those germy little hairballs at home would thank you too, if they could. Well, maybe Rocky wouldn't thank you...as soon as that wheezing stops...snip, snip... It's in liquid form? I don't have to wrap these cats up in towels, pry their...

Hi there! I need some advice on how to use grapeseed extract for my cat, Rocky. Rocky is a seven month old male kitten who I have been trying to have neutered for the past three months. He had a very nasty URI when he was three months old, has already gone thru two courses of that pink...

I think I'll do just that sometime today. I don't believe this--I swear this cat is faking this because he knows what's gonna happen. He's got a sly grin on his face sometimes.

I don't BELIEVE this! That upper respiratory infection has come back on Rocky and now his surgery has been postponed for a couple more weeks. The little bugger started up that wheezing and bubbling again. I took him to the vet to get checked out, and my vet suggested that I keep an eye on him...

I swear Rocky knows what's gonna happen in another week, and he has redoubled his efforts to persuade Angel and Ruby to have sex with him. If I clear my throat and give him a dirty look he gets up and runs into the bathroom. He stays there on his own, with the door open, for about fifteen...

I am so sorry to hear that Racer is ill. I am sending out prayers and positive thoughts for the both of you. I hope his tests come back positive and he makes a complete recovery!

Thanks to everybody who responded! "Obnoxious adolescent"---I like that, it fits Rocky perfectly. I'm going to follow your suggestions, with the Feliway, and the giant catnip mouse. Oh God, I can't wait for that surgery!

I am having problems with my youngest one, six month old Rocky. He came from a cat rescue group here in St. Louis, and I got the impression that he was sent from one foster home to another. He always did have an "in your face" personality, but now that he's gotten bigger it's becoming a...

Hi, guys! I hope everyone had a safe and merry xmas! Me and the kids have settled into our new apartment. It's not perfect, but it's a heck of a lot better than where we were before. Angel has fully recovered from her feline acne, Ruby is still as fat and cranky as ever (it's just her...

I don't know, Jules looks like he's got dancing feet (or face). He also probably knows that nobody's gonna believe you when you tell them!

You know what amazes me, though? How cats can make those expressions with that kind of face. Doesn't seem possible.

What kind of funny facial expressions do your furkids use? While we were living at my mother's house one evening I held Angel in my arms and walked into my mother's bedroom. Angel was relaxed and alert, and before I knew it she looked around the room, hissed, and then threw her head back...

Dar hissy: thanks for the tip about the Comfort Zone mister!

Oh, it's some nasty looking stuff! Angel had black scaly bumps at first. It's usually underneath on the chin area. The more you treat it, the better it looks. Now the skin looks halfway normal, but it's still bumpy.

OH, NOOOOOO! I kind of figured that! I'm headed out to Petsmart this weekend anyway, and I might just pick up a can of that Feliway spray. I've never tried it, but I've heard so many good things about it.
