While I'm dealing issues with my other cat, I noticed something about my youngest. Charlie will be two very soon. I had a casual conversation with my vet when I was there for my other cat about how he has always been fairly aggressive when I hold him. If I pick Charlie up and have my arm...

I have never dealt with this before and I’m waiting at the vet’s office still for them to get us some meds and a sub-q. My girl is 12. She had dental work last month and the pre op bloodwork showed an elevated kidney function of 20. I don’t know what the scale is. Today, after days of...

So, my girl went through some dental work a few weeks ago. Before that, she lost about a pound because it hurt to eat. She is normally 8.9 lbs. She was down to 8.2 and we got her up to 8.4 before surgery. Now, she is around 8.0 lbs and I'd like to get her back up to about 8.5 or even her...

i have never had a cat go through dental work, but it’s looking like my orange lady is going to have to next month. Her teeth aren’t terrible, but at 12 years old, she’s suffering some issues. Her blood work is perfectly normal, except for a slightly elevated kidney function. The vet said that...

i need someone to tell me it will be alright. My old lady, Hariette, is 12 1/2. She has weighed, pretty consistently around 8.9 lbs for the past few years. The past month, she has dropped down to 8.4. I’m worried about the weight loss, but at the same time, I know she’s a senior cat. She’s...

So, things have been cruising along pretty well in this household. My old lady, Hariette, suddenly decided that yesterday she wasn't interested in food and she has decided that pooping is for the birds. Today, she has been much better, eating but still no poop. In my vigilance of her, I...

I am so discouraged. After a particularly nasty flea infestation that was caused by the dog, it seems that fleas are back in our lives again. Despite Capstar and regular flea prevention, all three cats have them AGAIN. I have paid hundreds of dollars to have my house professionally treated...

My parent's cat has had a mass on her chest for a few months now. It has gotten to the point where she has licked it raw. They are taking her to the vet this afternoon. She is an otherwise healthy cat for her age (around 13). Weight is stable, energy stable, food intake normal. I'm...

Here I go again. Hariette started sneezing a few days ago with no other symptoms. I thought it was a fluke at first, but she's kept doing it. We've had a terrible time with high winds, erratic temperatures, and super dry weather. I know I've been suffering from allergies the entire time...

i just got little Charlie neutered this morning and he’s resting in his carrier at the moment. Little dude is still majorly drunk off his anesthesia. I brought him out to see if he would snuggle, but all he did was Bunny kick me until he went back in the cage. His vet is a country doctor, one...

I'm back with another thread about my itchy cat. I cannot pill Katie. Absolutely cannot do it. Tried today and she bit through my thumb. This was after I had wrapped her up in a towel lie a burrito. My arm is also rather scratched up as well. I can't seem to help her with her itchiness. I...

so my semi feral cat Katie has skin issues. She is a deaf white cat and is as sweet as can be but she turns into a monster when I try to medicate her. At first I thought the skin issues might have been due to fleas. However, she is many months flea free and is still licking hot spots all over...

I was putting Charlie in his room for the day and noticed he had a big old word segment hanging off his butt. We have been fighting this since the day I brought him home in July. I have a wormer that I give him for three days when I notice worms, but it doesn’t seem to be helping the situation...

Yep, another thread about Charlie. He will not quit biting me on the chin. He goes in for a sweet nuzzle and then he bites. I have tried everything to get him to stop. I have scolded, I have hissed back, I have yelled, I have put him down immediately, I have gently swatted, I have blown in his...

Hey everyone. Charlie is now almost 6 months old and is 8lbs. We had a struggle when he first came into the house keeping his collar on. We got everything under control but now he is slipping from the collar again. We are just at the very end of what his kitten collar can handle, so I...

So, here we go again. Charlie has now started acting as if he doesn't feel well. We got Hariette over her little bought of illness very recently, but it seems as if it is the kitten's turn. He has been pretty sleepy today. Not his normal active self. He has just turned 5 months old and is...

Charlie is 5 months old now and has developed his double canines. Of course his gums have been pretty red and this morning I noticed that he lost one of his baby canines last night. His mouth seems pretty tender and he doesn't want to eat a whole lot right now. How long should I anticipate him...

My kitten is about 4 months old. He is super active and is a food hound. He was a street rescue, so he is most definitely a scavenger. He is constantly hungry. He is on kitten food right now, about 1 1/2 cups per day. He also gets wet food for good measure. IT IS NOT ENOUGH! He is going...

So, I am beside myself. I've got another thread going on the cat behavior side as I introduce two cats to one another. I also spoke on here about fleas and weight loss. However, things have been taking a turn for the worst. My cat Hariette (10) has suddenly started to snub food. I ran out...

I am a complete helicopter car mom. Hariette just went to the vet about 2 weeks ago and al of her blood work was perfect. She weight just shy of 9 lbs. Yesterday, I noticed that she hadn't eaten her food. I ran out of her specialty diet food and gave her kitten food in the few days that it...
