    Cat Not Going Toilet

    :wave3:Hello! Question-Is he straining to go or just ignoring the litterbox? If he is straining or having difficulty going to the bathroom that would be an emergency. I am guessing he just doesn't know where to go since he's never used a litterbox. My advice would be to make the litterbox...

    Should I Get My Cat A Collar? Is It More Dangerous With Or Without?

    I'm in Georgia too- metro Atlanta area. Planned Pethood, Value Vet, SPCA, Budget Vet all do microchipping for roughly $25 around here. You can also try stores that have vaccine clinics- my local Petco, Tractor Supply, and Pet Supermarket also offer microchipping for around the same price during...

    Do You Prefer Hooded Litter Box Or Open Litter Box

    My cats will use either without a problem. I actually prefer an open box. It's just so much easier for me to scoop. I try to clean out the clumps/ poops after each use and with a hooded box it's just to much work to constantly take the lid on/off. I'm just too lazy! :p

    What Litter/s Do Your Cats Use?

    We currently use Fresh Step multi-cat (or sometimes Scoop Away multi-cat) for both boys. I just buy several 42 lb bags at my local Petsmart at a time. I use a large 30 gal sterilite tote as a litter box so it takes 40+ lbs of litter to fill to the ideal depth. One of my cats digs to China and...

    Cats Butt Seems Wrong

    Hello and welcome! You have done the right thing in taking this kitty in. If you are concerned about constipation you can try feeding her some plain canned pumpkin. If stool looks normal I wouldn't worry about it too much. My cats are not constipated and they have a bowel movement once every...

    Sheba...pate' Or Cuts?

    My cats love Sheba pates and the cuts too! They may be hungrier on the cuts as they have less calories than the pates. I looked on the Chewy.com website and the roasted chicken pate is 45 kcals per serving while the savory chicken cuts is 32 kcals per serving. Hope that helps!

    I Just Hurt My Kitten

    How's kitty doing? I would just watch them when they wake up and if they are walking fine I wouldn't worry about it. Any limping or anything like that would be better to see a vet. Cats are pretty forgiving. My cats are pretty large cats and they are always tripping me in the kitchen trying to...

    For Five Million Us Dollars, No Taxes Taken Out, Would You?

    "For 5 mil would you live at Base Camp 1, which is on the way to Everest, for one year? All of your needs would be met and you would be kept safe. At six months you could go to Nepal or Tibet for a week, then go back. No kitties could come." I would definitely try! But I'm not sure how...

    Ear Mites?

    Honestly, I have never seen an ear mite. My vet had mentioned that they were barely visible to the naked eye. Sorry I'm not much help. Could those possibly be "baby" ticks?

    Worms?

    Unfortunately cats cannot naturally recover from worm infestations. Your cat will need a dewormer. You can find Drontal (praziquantel/pyrantel pamoate) for cats on Amazon for fairly inexpensive. It is a broad spectrum dewormer. Call your vet to make sure you are dosing correctly and remember...
