Just a thought...After you clip (or your Vet clips) your cat's claws, you could also use (or have your Vet put them on), a product called Soft Paws (they are plastic sleeves that slip over the clipped claw and are kept in place with a liquid glue adhesive). The sleeves come in various colors...

My condolences on Sven, I'd say I can't imagine, but due to having Socksie, his age, and health issues, I unfortunately can. So my deepest sympathies on this loss. At least he is where he can be happy, and no longer hurt. (Hard for me to talk about).........Congratulations on your new freezer, I...

Skipping the repeating of what everyone else has said, except the addition that when cats/kittens have worms they often smell 'funny' or 'off' (at least to me), and worms are a very common complaint for kittens that have been outside for any length of time (or are from a shelter). And they often...

StefanZ - Thanks StefanZ, and Thank you for posting that info clarification.Just fyi, in NO WAY was I recommending cow milk. Cow milk is BAD! BAD!! Cow milk can cause intestinal issues for cats, because they can't digest it properly, and it is worse for kittens. Regardless of the cute pics and...

Thank you for posting this very important information to me.GloriaJH - I agree.All Just MHO, for me it was also where Wellness/Well Pet, states that they had tested all of their product sent and it had tested as negative. Prior to that I was still freaking out a bit as my youngest baby boy...

I just wanted to say, "Thank you!". (But, I do it my own way, so pardon the ramble)..I am considering and trying Raw for my 1st time. Times are tough as you know, but I really, for as long as I can, want to try and get at least my oldest boy 21yrs old onto a Raw diet (for as long as I can afford...

Yes! Get the kitten to a Vet quick, because diarrhea can easily cause dehydration (even death) and long-term be the root cause for various health/organ issues later on, especially during this crucial developmental period. The Vet can get any fluids into the kitten that it may (probably) needs. I...

There is a product on the market called "Bitter Apple" they offer it in both Dog (seen most often) and Cat formulas. It is in a spray bottle and it advises you to test it on a patch of something before spraying (to prevent discoloration of furniture, cloth, etc). You can also spray it directly...

My cats both have a thing for licking and trying to chew/eat tape on card board boxes (due to the glue adhesives), so I have to monitor them and try to ensure there is none they can get a hold of. They youngest is the worst! He also likes to chew card board boxes, steal and drag away anything...

My cat (1/2 feral Siamese, 1/2 I believe Korat) saw me getting into the freezer for food, so he started jumping onto the ledge (fascinated by the cool air) and the fact he gets mom's attention and my taking him down. As to stopping the habit. Some won't like this, but I say tell him/her a firm...

I am not a Vet, nothing I say is intended to take the place of you speaking with a Vet, and the following is only my own opinion: If you aren't going to feed a raw diet, which I think is best, if possible (and why I am awaiting a raw food supply shipment). I would try the following...

Sounds weird, but you may want to hold off on the comforting while he is upset, and just comfort when he is clam, because otherwise, you are reinforcing the skittishness when you are (rewarding him) with comfort. Hard not to comfort him, but instead of petting him, you could just talk to him...

Whoops, didn't see the age of the thread, but maybe someone else could use the info. Thanks!

I have heard of women using (don't laugh) a product called "Utter Budder" on their own breats to soften them after breast feeding. You can check and see if it is ok to use on cats, the Vet or a Farmer, even the people at the horse store or feed and seed, might know. If so, that may give her some...

Why not a whole chicken? They cheaper long term and it would last longer if you chop it in sections or offer various parts through the week, (besides being more natural). Or a whole Turkey. You could also probably get some cheap cuts and parts from a local butcher. Even asking for meat that is...

I'm not a fan of it, but that is because a friend of mine recently switched to the blue stuff and his cat seems to have had an allergic reaction (started to lose hair), and yes, took his baby to a Vet and found nothing. *shrugs* Now have switched to Wellness Brand Wet, and Nature's Variety Raw...

Ummm, another thing..and don't laugh. She may have been dozing or even been fully asleep and simply fallen off the window sill onto the floor and startled herself awake. Startled and ticked off, you come busting in, and so she things "he did it". Obviously no one else was around but you...

My very best wishes to the both of you! My cats went through Hurricane Katrina (and bugging out to an alternate location locally), and my youngest still isn't over it. When he knows a storm is coming, he hides, plain and simple, especially if he hears thunder. There is the Tree vs. Bush cat...

I think you did the right thing. Sorry, but MHO, it is the cat lives they are messing up that matter. Some people (like my own sister) have this attitude that animals are just disposable (cuts me to the quick!). I ALWAYS try to discourage her form getting any new pets (because they all get...

I FIRMLY AGREE with everyone else's posts! That "Vet" is crazy!My oldest cat is 21 yrs OLD! His fur is a little shaggy, he sees, but isn't as sharp of eye as when a young cat, his nose doesn't sniff as well (my impression), and he has thinned in the back.BUT, he moves pretty good (has a little...
