Lol hahahahahhaa It's a relief! She has not vomited in a long time, thankfully!!

Hi, all. I wanted to update this thread because I know there are many other cats out there who vomit and their lovely parents are trying to find ways to help. Good news: Baby is no longer a vomiter!! Bad news: She eats dry food. After trying so many different foods which did not help Baby...

So Jax has stopped marking.   He's really sweet, wants to cuddle all the time, something my other cats are repulsed by. I was wondering if anyone knows about this interesting behavior - anytime he hears a kitten meowing, he shoots up and starts meowing and then walking around to look for one. I...

Yea, you're right about the FIV vaccination. I read that there's really no way of finding out whether the cat is testing positive because of the vaccine or because there's an infection present.  He has an appointment to go back in about a week to see our regular vet. I'm making a list of all...

I was wondering if outdoor cats are vaccinated against FIV at the time of neuter/spay? Jax was ear-tipped when I met him so I'm assuming he was part of someone's TNR and had a human care for him at some point. I wonder if he was vaccinated and because of that he's testing positive. Is that a...

Last night I used Lysol to clean up the urine but I was nervous about its toxic effects on cats, so a little while after cleaning, I scrubbed the area with water. Do you know of any enzymatic cleaners that may be safe to use around cats? Is he ever going to stop marking? He has his own litter...

Ok, I will do just that. Thank you for your advice. Since last night, there's another issue. Jax has a litter box of his own downstairs where he lives but when I bring him up to eat and hang out with me, he uses my cats' litter boxes as well, which I don't stop him from doing. Last night, he...

Awwwww    ​ My regular vet at the Humane society called me today to tell me that she looked at Jax's blood test results, and she said they look pretty good and he does not need any antibiotics. She also said that she's not sure if he has an enlarged heart but he may very well have the murmur. I...

@Ondine, thanks for sharing that story! It cheered me up. I will do everything in my power to help him along. He's such a sweety! I took him to the vet yesterday for the first time and he gave me no trouble getting in the carrier and then when we were finally there, everyone expected him to...

Hi, My only stray cat Jax is facing some health issues. Three days ago, I noticed that he was missing hair from the brow area above his right eye. I suspected he'd had a fight because the area where he was missing hair was shaped like a scratch. I started looking for more signs and found two...

Baby is doing much better now. I didn't take her to the ER last night because after I posted the photo above, she had zero vomits and diarrhea. Since then, she is alert, interactive, and walking around the house. At 7 am she asked my mom for food but my mom wasn't sure if she should be fed so...

Baby was my first cat and because I was so inexperienced, I free-fed her dry food (Nature's variety for indoor cats and Anova). As time went on, she started gaining weight and I thought it was not good for her. So at the vet's recommendation, I introduced her to wet food. We went through many...

The diarrhea looks tinged in the photo with what could be blood, but it's not. I checked closely. It's solid poop. I'm calling the ER now.

All my cats are indoor. I don't have any plants in the house because I fear they'll get into them. I am very careful with house-hold cleaners and only use them in the bathroom. The door to the bathroom is always closed, the toilet lid is always down, the cabinet containing the cleaners is always...

Hello, all. I have a situation: my 11 y/o cat is vomiting but it's white foamy liquid that's coming out. Could it be bile? She had  this morning, which she vomited up a while after. She ate nothing after that, and had a foamy vomit a few hours later, and another foamy vomit about two hours ago...

@Margd, yea...I was so sad for him, I thought he wasn't going to make it. I have a pretty good feeling about this, I think he's going to be ok! :) Thank you for your kind words when I needed them most :)

Hi, guys. These are some of the photos of the kitten that I got when I visited my friend two days ago. The vet has put him on amoxicillin to treat an upper respiratory infection. I haven't seen him since but my friend said that he is doing much better, and even eating on his own. In the last...
