Hi, Background: I adopted a pregnant cat. Her humans are moving, so I took her. I took her to the vet. He gave her deworming medicine (Milbemax) , half a tablet that day, and another half tablet to be taken after 15 days (which she took yesterday.) He said she might not be vaccinated. I have...

It seems that cats diseases have some scary names that have nothing to do with its reality. Feline Herpes Virus is just a sort of strong flu, it has nothing to do with the herpes that comes to mind. Feline Leukaemia Virus does not cause leukaemia. as its name suggests. I think vocabulary...

Hello, :) My cat shed a lot, and a relative of mine who has cat told me that this amount of shedding is not usual and that there is an injection that the vet can give to minimize shedding. Is there really such an injection? Another thing. When I adopted my Lulu, that was in April this year...

Hi, I've been trying to find the best quality food for my cat. He was on Applaws, which he loved, but I'm worried about the rice it has. I found NaturesMenu in a pet store, and gave it a try. He did not love it, be he ate it. This one: I was shocked when I read the ingredients, it seems to...

Hello, I have a cat (male, neutered, 1+ year). he was the sweetest thing, but when he was once admitted to hospital and cannulaized, he started biting. This was further enhanced when he he had his neutering surgery, and his dental. I'm taking good care of him to the point of spoiling him, I...

Hi, My cat was on Natural Balance canned food. But last month his favourite flavours ran out of stock where I live, and the supplier said it will take a month to get them here. So I switched to Applaws (chicken breast) + Applaws dry food (chicken also) for night time. It is much expensive...

Hello, My cat was fast fast asleep, so I finally had a chance to look at his face closely. When he is a wake he would not let me do so. I can see that his gum is so red and one of the back teeth has a yellow matter on it.See for yourself: Is this gingivitis and tartar? How bad is it? What...

Hello, Ordinary scoopers are disappointing (at least the ones I've seen). They miss a lot. I tried several clumping litters, and they all -after a few days- start to lose their clumping power. This results in clumps that easily brittle when moving them especially if they are stuck in the...

Hi, I know that elephants have a very good memory. Now please tell me that cats have the worst memory ever. I need my cat to forget and forgive. My Lulu is not sitting in my lap any more That's why. He used to sit at least once a day, purr and knead. I seized this chance and tried cutting...

Hi, I'm a lazy person, I guess that last time I worked out was over 2 years ago. :P I suddenly decided to do some work out. So I played the file on my TV and went on. My kitty was looking at me strangely and then somehow attacked me. Once he tried to bite me, and he did (was a mild one...

Hello, My cat is a domestic longhair. I adopted him back in April and he he had a gorgeous neck ruff and a really poofy tail. He has been shedding quite a lot. And as the weather gets hotter, it gets worse. he is strictly indoors though. Now, he does not have that special neck ruff any more...

Hello, Are there any grain-free dry food fro cats? I though that Royal Canin was a good choice, but many of its kinds has maize as their first ingredient, and some have chicken "by-products"! I managed to find one kind of Royal canin (for sensible cats) which did not have maize as its first...

Hello :) My kitty roams everywhere; my bed, the kitchen counter ...etc, so cleanliness is a concern for me. I'm worried about the litter box. I do my best to clean it daily, but what if my kitty steps on litter that has some germs and then starts spreading it all over the place? I clean the...

Hello, When my kitty grooms himself, he smells like his saliva. He usually grooms himself after meals, so he somehow smells like cat food. (I use Natural Balance wet canned food) It is not a strong smell, yet I can smell it when I stick my nose very close to him. Is it normal for a cat...

Hello, I have a cat who is around one year old, male, neutered, indoors only, only cat. 1) Of late, he started giving me love bites where he would take my finger or toe and nibble it which is really cute. Rarely, I used to get marks after those bites, there will be bumpy stripes in the...

Hello, I know that a swishing tail means that the cat is concentrating, but my cat came with a tail movement that I could not find in any of the "tail language" guides. Sometimes he lies down on his side and moves his tail like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2756651/tail.MOV ...

Hello, First of all, I had my cat neutered. I guess I caught the curiosity gene from my cat, and I was wondering if he were not, how many times a year would he ask to mate a year? In other words, how many times do I have to let him go out, or get him a queen? Is it like one or twice a year...

Hello, I've just noticed something is floating on one if my cat's eyes. I've tried to take a couple of pictures, but not sure they are clear. It looks like some hair, or a think plastic film. Not sure what that is. My cat does not seem to be bothered about it. He's playing normally. Is...

Hello, 1) My cat just bit me :( I was cutting his nails, and he was not happy of course, and gave me a bite when I reached the last toe. (I was careful, he was not njured when I cut his nails, he was sitting my lab purring)  I washed it and used Betadine. Thanks God it is not deep to the...

Hello, Can you please tell me what breed is my lovely boy? As you can see in the pictures below, he has a long coat (but no undercoat. At least I could not see one). He has a neck ruff, it might not be so clear in the pictures. Is he domestic longhair, Persian, Norwegian, ragdoll, ...? And...
