Sonny will be 16 next month. He has started to sit while he's drinking water. Is there a reason for this? Is he just lower in energy? He's never done this before, up until last year he preferred drinking out of the drip from the tub.

Due to a variety of circumstances, I now have an age unknown female spayed and all 4 declawed cat. I believe she's young, based on what I've seen of her teeth. I don't know anything about her first home. 3 weeks ago, she went to her second home. There, she became the housemate of a fully clawed...

One of my cats has a cold. He's a very healthy guy otherwise, 3 years old, etc. Is it like colds in humans where meds don't do much, or should I take him in for antibiotics? The only symptom is sneezing-- but a LOT of it. He was sneezing like crazy through the night. TIA

8 days ago I took in two orphaned kittens who appeared to be 3-3.5 weeks old. Within a day they were taking the bottle pretty well. The problem is now they are eating SO vigorously that each feeding results in an annihilated nipple, as well as the female kitten getting quite a bit of the milk...

Sonny needs to see a vet, but the soonest we can get in is Monday. I'm very nervous. He's always up by me so I'm fairly certain the symptoms at least are new-- last night he drooled while sleeping and I thought he was just in a deep sleep. But today when his mouth was by my nose I smelled an...

Hi, I'm planning a long distance move that would mean a drive of close to 22 hours. I've read many articles with suggestions on hotels, the environment for the cat, etc, but none of them really specified what an appropriate stopping time is each day after driving.... 5 hours? 6? 7? Would it be...

My cat Sonny is 14, which I know isn't that old. But he's had medical problems since he was a kitten. He has asthma which was dx'd a year ago and he has been deaf for 2 1/2 years. Previously, even before the deafness, when we moved he would howl at night for a few nights. Since he's been deaf...

My almost 14 year old cat Sonny has been having a problem with his right eye for just over a month now. It started as red, swollen with a discharge, then was fine for a day, then his eye started to grey over. It was the weekend so we saw a vet on March 16. He was diagnosed with uveitis and put...

Has anyone had any experience with these treats? My cat gets treats after asthma treatments and I wanted a better quality treat than the regular Friskies and I found the Delightables...The label makes them sound better quality but what do I know? LOL. He's eating Chicken and Turkey Flavor and...

My cat Sonny's eye is swollen and runny today. He's asthmatic and gets two puffs of Flovent each day for the last week and a half. Could that be the cause? I thought I've had the device fit well over his nose/mouth but maybe not close enough? I'd heard the albuterol should avoid eyes for sure...

My cat started Clavamox yesterday and now has diarrhea. Is there anything special I can feed him (or anything I should AVOID feeding him) to make it less uncomfortable for him? Thanks.

My almost 14 year old cat is having some issues and although my vet doesn't think they're heart related, others I've described his situation to continue to suggest that it is and I can't stop worrying about what I should do and how to prioritize his care. I'm on a limited budget but that said I...

I saw my vet today and since I've read so many times always consult with the vet before any diet plan, I talked to her a little about what my overweight cats should eat. I thought I'd been doing better stopping the free feeding but I guess I still over feed them :( She suggested for the 2...

My almost 14 year old cat has asthma and last night and just now had what I thought were asthma attacks but afterwards his breathing was loud for about 15 minutes. Today he was close enough that when  he coughed snot came out of his nose which doesn't normally happen during an asthma episode. I...

I don't know where to put this so if it's the wrong place please move it. This isn't about a behavior problem but just a general question about whether your cats "communicate" with you about certain specific things. For instance, Sonny will howl the top of his lungs only when he's out of water...

When Roman was a kitten, he had grey stripes all over his body. As he aged, the grey stripes mostly turned a solid grey (in good lighting you can see faint markings) except on his legs, face, stomach, and tail. I'll post a couple pics of how he looks now, on his belly, legs and face, then on his...

I was just wondering if others have experienced their cats go deaf and when that happened (age). Sonny went deaf when was 12 years old. I had no idea until we moved (I lived in an efficiency so he always smelled the wet food and came running) to a larger home and he didn't come running if he was...

I loooooooove orange cats!!! I have two orange cats, one is what I'd call on the dark end of orange (I've heard them called "red" and "ginger") with greenish/yellowish eyes and the other is a lighter orange and has what I believe are called "bullseye" markings as opposed to all stripes (he does...

I've been reading up and it seems that Purina has changed some of their ingredients in the last couple years and I was wondering if anyone here still feeds their cats Purina? One of my cats, who's almost 6, has been on Purina One for Sensitive Stomachs nearly his whole life (since he was a...

I have 3 male cats, Sonny (almost 14), Max (almost 6), and Roman (almost 2). Sonny and Max are on the bigger side; Sonny is 17 lbs and my guess is Max is between 15-16 lbs. Then we have Roman, who is smaller at his age than any male cat I've had (he is neutered but did not gain much weight after...
