    Which canned food is best for cats who had the crystals issue.

    I purchased Wilderness dry as well as their canned Red Meat food. Supposed to be high in protein and grain free but it does have potatoes and peas. Is this a good choice for kitty who already had the crystals problem requiring immediate hospitalization? He was originally on Hills c/d...

    My kitty and her Elizabethan Collar

    My kitty seems to have adjusted to the plastic cone. We have confined her to my daughter's room (she sleeps with my daughter anyway) in order to avoid the craziness of the first day with the cone on, when she ran full speed into walls, stairs, furniture. She is now quite calm and learned how to...

    Flexible Recovery Collar

    My eight month old kitty has to wear an Elizabethan collar and she absolutely hates the plastic cone. I wanted to try a flexible one and wondered if anyone has used Elizasoft recovery collar for their kitten. Any comments, pro or cons of this collar in particular and flexible collars in general?

    My kitty and her Elizabethan Collar

    My 8 month old kitty just got the collar due to having sutures on her hind leg. It is so long that she cannot eat with it on. Would it be ok to cut it a bit so she could get to her food and water bowl? Also, I am afraid for her to walk downstairs or even jump from or to anything because she...

    Do other cats have this feature???

    My 4 month old gray classic tabby kitten (mother is Russian Blue, no idea who father was) has a spotty tummy but what is odd (to me) is that the tummy area has a mid llne in her fur so that it looks like the fur was put together from two haves instead of one sold swath of fur. I have never seen...

    Adopting three month old kitten--need advice on getting cat tree

    Is this the cat tree you bought at Petsense? I like it!  How tall is it? Is it covered in carpet or plush? Do you know who makes it? I don't have any Petsense stores near me.

    Adopting three month old kitten--need advice on getting cat tree

    I have read that cats really need a vertical space to climb. I would rather my kitten did not climb curtains so I want to get her a cat tree. The problem is that the only (and the best) place for the tree is right in the corner of my eating area in the kitchen, right by sliding glass doors...

    Corn based kitty litter and aflatoxin

    I just purchased a well known corn based clumping kitty litter for my new kitten (who is still with her foster parents). I had used only non-clumping clay kitty litter with my first kitty who passed away a month ago so have no experience with this new litter. I had read online that corn and...

    We have just adopted a two month old kitten. We have not brought her home yet but I am very worried about the stairs in our two story house.

    Stunted growth?

    I should have mentioned that she is part of a litter of five cats that were all bought to the shelter. She is not a runt because all five are of same size, two of the females (both got adopted) were even smaller than her. So, I believe that all of them had their growth stunted due to the...
