    Advice For Kitty With Gingivitis?

    Hey guys, So Madonna has been struggling the past few months. We found out she had hookworms that had gotten her underweight. Once we got rid of those and on some better flea meds, we've been trying to get her weight to back up. She gained a pound, but she doesn't appear to have gained since...

    Kitten Pooping In Tub

    yeah, the changes that come with moving could be stressing her out causing her to poop in a weird place. get another litter box and put it somewhere nearby. alternatively, if you have a different area that can be dedicated to her litter box(es), move them and just keep the bathroom door shut...

    Cat Obsessively Cries And Scratches At Door.

    hahaha she likes being outdoors! i would try distracting her whenever she does it, for example, offering her toys or having her chase a laser or something. worse case scenario, put something big and heavy to obstruct her view of the door and she'll probably eventually stop. i do have a question...

Found out she had hookworms, and so the vet dewormed her and we switched her food to a better quality food (Science Diet Digestion). Well she's doing a lot better, no more...

    Food For Cats With Gingivitis?

    Thank you guys for the input! :) I think I will try brushing her teeth. I've ordered some of that CET toothpaste and the vet said I could use a toothbrush for babies on them 2-3 times a week until the gingivitis calms down, then once a week. She's gonna kill me though, RIP me lol.
