My new kitten is probably around 13 weeks old (vet's guesstimate.) I just noticed that one of her lower canine teeth has fallen out. I know kittens lose their teeth, but there doesn't seem to be another tooth growing in. Is this normal? Obviously there isn't anything I can do about it, she...

Lucius just turned 1 year and is going in for Xrays today for his bowels. His weight got up over 14 lbs, and he's dropped down a bit as I've been feeding more wet (dr's request also.) But he's had bowels problems for some time. He had an infected anal gland 5 months or so past, and has had to...

Quick rundown....Lucius, my fat cat (just turned 1 this month and weighs 14 lbs) was back at the vet for his 2nd anal gland infection. This was a week ago. I noticed him scooting and took him in. The vet asked me a lot about his diet and stools. We've been watching his weight too. Between him...

I need to start separating my two at meal time. The fat one isn't loosing, and in fact seems to still be gaining. He is over 14 lbs and is just turning 1 year (tomorrow in fact,) and the other is around 9 lbs and a year in September. Between the two they have been getting 1 - 5.5 oz can of...

Both kitties have been on Revolution for flea control (and whatever all it works on.) My Cissa was fine on the low dose, but when raised, got a bald spot on her neck. I forgot about it and the next month it happened again. Talked to the vet and she said that sometimes happens and to try three...

Is there anyone here in the Atlanta area that can recommend a store that has a variety of these different high-quality cat foods I see talked about, i.e. Wellness, Innova, etc? I would like to go to one store and just buy a bunch of different canned foods (dry too) and test them out and see how...

I definitely need to watch Lucius' eating habits. He is exactly 13 lbs and only 10 months old. This is making me feel like a bad mommy. The vet said to decrease his food a bit, but having two of course makes it difficult. But I will give it a go, and measure out the dry food for each, and...

Lucius has always been "round." The vet said he'd probably get to around 12 lbs at a year. He is just under that now and just turned 9 months. He has that big round belly with flabby hanging skin. He is active and is not a pig at all when he eats. I'm sure it's part body structure and being...

I guess my kittens are finally growing up as they are starting to shed, and their fur has gotten so much thicker. I've brushed them a bit here and there, but I think it's time for a more regimented routine. After a decent brushing though, I was totally covered in hair, and I needed to vacuum...

Yes, I know, we've all laughed at our kitty's expense. I bought collars awhile ago, way too big for those tiny necks. Tonight I tried again, still too big, but getting better. At first the little bells were still attached, and it was pretty funny to watch the kitties act so crazy. It wasn't...

I'm cooking a chicken right now and cooked up the liver in a small pot of water. Can I grind it up and give it to my kittens?

Cissa has been sick with a URI for well over a week now. I seem to think the hair above her eyes is thinning (as does my daughter.) I keep her eyes clean, but she grooms them herself. Is it likely that it's thinning from grooming, or is there another cause of hair thinning in that area?

Poor little Cissa, she's just such a little thing...and it's been one thing after the other, I can't wait till this is all over and she can just feel good again. She has a very nasty cold. Lucius, who we got at the same time, was a sneezer from the start, so I guess he's been harboring the...

When might a kitten upchuck its first hairball? My Lucius who is a bit over 4 months occasionally makes the sounds, and he is a good groomer and has night thick hair. Just wondering what to expect, and how and when one decides later to use a hairball remedy.

Today I bought a small bed to keep on my desk rather than a towels. My two babies love it. Next to it is a box with their grooming supplies, a brush, and comb, toothbrushes, toothpaste, clippers. I've had no problem with brushing (though I'd love to find a page with techniques if someone can...

First time kitty mommy here. Lucius is 4 months and Cissa is 3 months. I have a large house and don't plan on keeping them confined to any one area. What I need help on is suggestions on what I should or shouldn't allow, and the reasons behind it (I hope my request makes sense.) For...

Okay, so holding a kitten most the day is nice and all....holding two gets to be a bit more difficult. Then to get up for a cup of coffee or potty....both kitties naturally sleeping away...well, it just doesn't work. But since they want to be by me I cleared off the edge in my computer/desk...

I'm so totally in love you can't imagine....or yes, I guess you all can. I have never had a cat, dogs growing up, but never cared for dogs...they scare the crap out of me. My three kids (the human kind) and I got these two precious angels from rescue cats (www.rescuecats.org), and they've been...
