Can fishy foods raise the pH level of a cat's urine? My Tyler who just discovered he's a boy (thank goodness he's getting neutered next month) was excessively licking his boy business. I noticed it was raw. Called the vet. She suggested I bring in a urine sample. He had some crystals and a 7.0...

I have two girls. 1 1/2 & 2. They've always eaten Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul dry food. It's getting harder and harder to find around here, so I stopped into a "Healthy" pet food store. The fellow seems to carry all premium brands. Unfortunately, he's phasing out the Chicken Soup. We...

Does any one know if the recipe for this has changed at all. I've been feeding my girls this since I got them (they're about 2 and 1 1/2 now). But lately, they both seem to be turning their noses up at it. Perhaps I just got a bad bag. I know with my Mr. Fuzzypants (RIP), he was eating Iams and...

We just put a bid in on a house. Here's hoping it's accepted. Now...my main concern. Moving my girls. What's best. Moving them first with some of there things and keeping them in a safe place in the new house. Or keeping them in a room in the old house, then transporting them to the new house...

My tap water sucks. It tastes like chlorine, smells like bleach and my cats previous and present hate it. So, I've given them bottled spring water. Now, I'm going to get one of those water dispensers with the 5 gallon jug and I have the option of going with purified or spring water. I just...

So I have to take one of my angels, Rogue, to the vet on Friday. If I can catch her to get her in the carrier, that is. Poor thing is a little over a year and has been transported so many times (the first time to our house, then to the vet's to get spayed then home again, then to live with...

Why? Because it bugs me. Literally. First I find a couple fleas on my strictly indoor kitty. Quick call to the vet will solve that. Then I look and wonder what she's snacking on from the rug. Ants. Winged ants. Definitely not termites, though. Whew. Went through that whole panic. And now that...

What's the safest flea medicine to use on cats. I found two fleas on my strictly indoor cat Zora today while combing her. I want to nip this in the bud before it gets any worse, but I want to use something that's safe for her. Thanks.

My little kitten ran out of her litter box with a piece of, well, poo stuck to her bum. She proceeded to rub herself across the carpet pretty furiously before I could get to her and get it off. When I did get to her, I pulled off the stool but noticed her bum was red and irritated...not only...

Okay, so I'm thinking ahead to spring. Living here in PA in the winter, one has to do something. Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone out there has any ideas on how to "kitty-proof" my windows. After being flooded this year, I'm definitely going to want to leave my windows open to circulate fresh...

I just got home from work and my hubby told me that Rogue had diarrhea twice in an hour. She seems to be acting normally...and is making it to the litter box. She doesn't seem to be in any distress. But, what should I look out for? Is there anything I can do to help her? My old cat Mr...

Someone at work suggested I put sisal rope on my banister that Rogue nearly fell off of yesterday. They think it might give her something to grip if she loses her balance. My fear is it might encourage her to jump up there. (Orange polish doesn't keep her away, and it makes the painted banister...

Okay, so we're finally back home after being flooded out of our home for three months. Of course, the kitties are glad to be out of that one room they were staying in at my mom's. Now, they have the run of a two-story house. Last night, however, one of my biggest fears almost came to pass...

Right now, I am very upset. Two months ago, we adopted...well, rescued a beautiful little calico that was living on the streets near a friend's house. Of course, we took her to the vet as soon as we could get an appointment. The vet checked her over and asked if we had seen any signs of heat. At...
