I’m looking for suggestions for cat safe products or methods to heal scabs and sores on my cat’s neck and chin. A couple weeks ago, I noticed her collar had tightened so I took it off to loosen it and saw 2 sores on the left side where the collar had rubbed it raw. I feel really bad about that...
My 15 year old girl, Boogie Bear, has lost weight in the last year. Her diet hasn't changed nor has her activity level really that I've noticed. She had her annual check up at the end of January and had lost 2 pounds, down to only 9 pounds. I asked the vet do a senior blood panel. Everything...
Two years ago a young (1 or 2 years old I estimated) male black stray/feral cat started coming around my backyard. I fed him and got him to come inside sometimes, but he didn't want to be an indoor cat. He hung around regularly for about 3 months, but then he got made that I tried to put pet...
I've been bottle feeding an orphaned kitten since 10/22/19. She was a couple days old when I got her so she's 5 weeks old now. I've been calling her Spicy. This weekend I introduced kitten wet food and a litter box. I got the Royal Canin Mother & Babycat food. I set up a litter box using one of...
Last night my sister and brother-in-law found a tiny kitten in their yard. Brother-in-law heard it crying earlier in the day. He kept watching for momma cat, but she never came back for it. Their dogs and neighbor dogs have been going crazy for a few days so they probably scared her away. So my...
My 3rd cat, Jumbo, has kidney disease and refuses to eat any of the canned k/d foods. I bought several cans of Merrick's limited ingredient foods in turkey, duck and chicken and a few salmon from Petco just to see how he or my 2 seniors would like it. He loved all of them so I bought a bunch...
One of my cats, Jumbo, had a dental cleaning and some extractions last Monday 9/28. From his blood work and urine test before the procedure, he was diagnosed with kidney disease. The front desk sold me a case and a bag of Hills Rx food without me evening realizing it as they had me pay before...
I've had Jumbo for about 4 years. He was a stray, neutered, de-clawed and is around 8 years old now. I took him to the vet for his yearly checkup in May. When they weighed him, he had dropped from 12.44 last year to 10.88. The vet said the weight loss and him being an extremely vocal cat could...
My mom has a 2 year old male, silver tabby, Mr. Manners. I visited her yesterday and she said he cries when he uses the litter box. She also said she'd recently seen a white thing in his fur around his neck. I asked her if it looked like a grain of rice. She said yes. So I looked at his bottom...
I've been here almost 2 weeks getting to know TCS and posting on different threads here and there. I guess it's time to introduce myself. My family always had cats when I was growing up. Mostly they were all outdoor/indoor cats. Then I moved out and didn't have a cat again for several years...
