I have a 4 year old male cat, and also 2 kittens about 8 months old.  The two kittens seem to have some food allergies going on, and I am thinking about making my own food for them.  I have access to purchasing chicken from a wholesale distributor at at a good price, but I don't think I can find...

We got a kitten, and he wrestles with my 4 year old cat a lot.  Well, he keeps either biting or clawing my 4 year old cats lip/gums.  His lip gets all puffy and looks infected.  I keep putting stuff on the inside of his lip/gum, but just as it is getting better, they wrestle again and he gets a...

I have been fostering through a rescue and I get kittens that are already wormed etc... but I am thinking about switching to fostering through a local shelter instead... I could get pregnant mamas almost ready to birth, or even newly born babies with their mamas, or abandoned kitties.  I am...

Does anyone know if one can have an allergy to a cat with flea treatment meds?  Does that sound completely crazy?  Or what about being allergic to a specific cat but not to other cats?  Is that possible? I have had cats all my life.  We have had pretzel and princess for 4 years, until princess...

our new kitten had a dose of pyrantel last week and is due for another dose yesterday, but I don't have any of that as it is prescription.  but, they gave him some revolution and I noticed that the revolution says it combats worms... so do you think the revolution is sufficient, or should I do...

we adopted him on saturday and he is a good kitty!  he is very friendly, but doesn't really want to be held.  any time we go to hold him, he squirms out of our arms and goes someplace else.  I'm sure being a feral probably has to do with it and perhaps he isn't so sure about it?  he isnt' afraid...

Not into people names and would prefer it to be a 2 syllable name.  kitten is a boy, and I typically like cute names vs masculine names "spike, hercules etc LOL"  My other cats name is Pretzel.   Thank you for your help!

is there a way to tell if my kitten will stay the same color or if he will darken up a lot?  also, can anyone tell what else could be in his gene pool?  all I know is that his mama was a feral.  just rescued him today.

we just brought home a kitten and the rescue said that he had capstar last week.  do I need to treat him again or with something else?  I have another cat as well. Also, he was wormed once and is due for his next treatment on tuesday.  do I treat him and my other cat as well just in case he...

She acts disoriented and scared!  Particularly afraid of my husband.  She keeps running to the bedroom and hiding under the bed.  She was by herself with my other can for a little over 2 hours.  she was fine before I left. I can't figure out why she is so scared and disoriented.  

My cat regularly gets a swollen lip.  Normally if he eats a bug this will happen.  Right now, he has a puffy stinky area (where the whiskers are) and I looked under his lip and I can see where it is in there, it looks like a sore or something.  Is there anything I can do to treat it...

Pretzel is doing great!  He has gained a lot of weight back, he isn't seeking out food like a crazy person, and he is acting 100% normal!  YEAH!!! He plays, he naps, he eats normally.  Everything is awesome!!!!!!   I do have a question though, his whole life long, any time he eats a bug his...

What would cause a stinky ear?  I assume it could be infected because it is stinky?  But HOW, why?   Ya know what, after a closer sniffing, I am not convinced it is coming from his ear.  It smells more like the top of his head, but I don't see anythign there...?

There is the whole, 85% of white cats with blue eyes are deaf.  My pretty kitty is definitely not deaf, but could she be hard of hearing or deaf in one ear?  Or is she just REALLY good at ignoring me haha!  I know she isn't deaf because when it is quiet and just me and her, if I do the kissy...

with raw meat?  or are there certain types of meat that are less prone to having parasite and parasite eggs in them?

In what amounts?  My cat is having a hard time keeping food down ( long long long long long story) But, I am noticing that he will keep chicken down and tuna down if he has just a small spoonful but only every few hours.  This doesn't seem like enough food does it?  I know I am going to need to...

I have a cat who we love dearly.  He eats many things that he shouldn't and continues to make himself sick.  I have 3 small children, and there is just too much stuff for him to get into.  He is currently not doing that great and is having a hard time keeping food down.  My husband isn't on...

My 1y old male cat Pretzel has always wanted to eat any food in sight.  he is terrible!!!  he waits for food to drop (we have 3 young kids), he waits for someone to leave the table momentarily, he waits for leftovers on the counter, and the list goes on. Any time I open the fridge, he is there...

I'm going to start with the whole story that started a month ago.  My cat stepped on something sharp and punctured his back foot.  It got infected and we took him to the vet.  They put him on an antibiotic.  A few days later, I started painting my kitchen which took 3 or 4 days.  During that...
