    I need help and assurance

    I have confined ill or very new cats or kittens to a bathroom for much longer than feeding time, so feeding him in the bathroom might be a good idea. Yes, there are counters and shelves more than likely, but also a much smaller space if you have to control him. I would only feed there though, as...

    Beside myself with worry…

    Please let us know what you find out on Friday. It is much better to get some kind of diagnosis or conclusive answer as opposed to googling and guessing and letting the situation spiral out of control. At least you will be able to concentrate on what you do know as opposed to concentrating on...

    White spot on cat's paw pad

    Is the vet treating the cats for it? Did he give you any advice for helping them avoid contact with whatever caused it?

    babysitting friends cat and cant find him

    Cats are extremely good at hiding inside when they want to, and a cat who has been left with someone that he is not as familiar with would certainly be a candidate for having done this. I’m not saying any of this is your fault. My own indoor cats have done the same thing even in their own house...

    Mumma cat won't use litter box after having kittens

    In the wild, cat poop will attract predators. The popular advice for finding a lost pet cat which suggests putting the litter box outside will cause the same thing to happen...more coyotes or raccoons might stop by than the cat who is lost. My experience is with feral kittens and moms, but I...

    Excessive water drinking-possibly tumor/cancer

    Convenia is highly effective on skin conditions which is why your vet may have said that if it does not work that this may be something else. Having said that, this would be very fast for a tumor to appear and spread so quickly.

    Food for a cat that’s prone to cystitis

    I have not had much luck with any urinary care diet with any of my cats who have ever had that problem. Royal Canin Urinary is the only one that anyone ever ate. They also make a canned formula; neither are prescription. Other cat food manufacturers also make urinary food which is OTC such as...

    Possible ear infection?

    Let us know what you find out. I have seen cats who have an irritated or infected ear tilt their head, so it may not be vestibular syndrome. At any rate, you are better off waiting for the vet since the appointment is tomorrow. I once made one of my dog's ear infection much worse by trying to...

    How to coax an indoor cat back inside?

    Try to bait the trap with KFC or any other greasy supermarket fried chicken. I know that this may bring the neighborhood cats, but it also might peak her interest if she is hungry. Not feeding her could go either way. She remembers that the house represents food and returns or she believes that...

    Green Eye Discharge- Terramycin Not Working?

    I would consider this option. Specialists may be able to determine what is causing this more quickly than a regular vet.

    Advice for 4 Month Rabies Quarantine

    KFC, or any greasy fried supermarket chicken, is my bait of choice and it has worked more effectively than anything else. It might even entice a cat who has a feeder as it is so different from cat food.

    Tell me a mildly infuriating story...lol.

    After the ATT breach of the recent past, I got an email from them stating that my passcode (not password) had been updated. It was legitimately from ATT. However, they neglected to tell me what the new one was or how to retrieve it. After a few minutes on their site, during which time they...

    Washing Cat Things With Softened Water?

    The threat from the mold was probably much worse, for both of you, so I am glad that you moved. I do not have a water softener, but numerous friends with dogs and cats do and have reported no problems.
