    Cat losing weight, bloodwork is fine

    Back in I think October last year, we went and I think he weighed 14 something? Now he is down to 12 ish. It was fast enough to be noticable, but I'm not entirely sure how quickly it happened. Glucose was included in the bloodwork and it was in normal range. Range is 72-175 and his was 106.

    Cat losing weight, bloodwork is fine

    We did a thyroid panel before and this time they just checked his T4. I may ask again next week when I go because thyroid makes so much sense but the numbers don’t add up to that. I am also giving him more food to try and get the weight back or at least get ahead of him losing. Currently he...

    I did have a thyroid test done previously but this time it was just a complete panel with the T4 included.

    Cat losing weight, bloodwork is fine

    They did a full panel and everything was either in normal range or maybe a single point out of range.

    Cat losing weight, bloodwork is fine

    First I want to say that I have taken the cat to the vet. Bloodwork was done and returned normal. Cat is still eating plenty and acting himself for the most part. I have a 13 year old cat, Sable, who is really starting to worry me. He used to weigh 16 pounds at one point. Currently, he is 11...

    Suggestions For Deep Cleaning To Rid House Of Urine

    Everyone is neutered. Calvin, the youngest, has taken to spraying around the house, and he has peed on the bed a few times, and I think Bowie has as well. I know Bowie tends to pee on items left on the floor.

    Suggestions For Deep Cleaning To Rid House Of Urine

    I'm diving in head-long into breaking my cat(s) of spraying/peeing around the house. However, one of my big hurdles is that I'm starting to find places where he/they have peed/sprayed that I didn't realize were a target. I have hardwood floors, and some of the areas now have soaked up urine so...

    Question About Spraying

    Very little. They get canned food twice a day and occasionally dry food and dry treats.

    Question About Spraying

    Yes, he was neutered before I adopted him at around 3 months. I know that he needs more than I give him. He needs more stimulation. I wish I could adopt him a friend that could keep him entertained, but I just cannot afford 4 cats. He and my oldest cat butt heads a lot - Calvin is a bit of a...

    Question About Spraying

    I'm still dealing with issues with my youngest cat spraying. I had a question because of something that a behaviorist told me once. She said that they will sometimes spray when they cannot get somewhere, like in frustration or something. He does spray the doors that are closed where he wants...

    An open letter to cat food companies

    Dear cat food companies, If I had my way, I would pass a law that requires you to list on the label in BOLD letters that your food contains fish. I have been looking for a new food for my 3 boys, and because of cystitis with one of them, I cannot use foods with fish for any length of time...

    I may end up going insane

    Bowie and Calvin are not getting along very well at all. It is the biggest struggle in everything and I think what is at the root of our issue. Still working on it. I may do the reintroduction again, but need to figure out how to go about it, really.. Not sure which cat to put where. I need to...

    I may end up going insane

    Yes, I definitely think roaming cats are what triggered Calvin in the first place. I've got a new order of Feliway multicat that should be arriving today and they will be plugged back in all around the house. I'm also using my spirit essences again to see if that will have any effect.  Last...

    I may end up going insane

    All 3 of my cats are neutered.  Some of the things that I needed to do were to add shelves to my den area for them (not able to do before now because of financial constraints and having to find someone who can help me build it all). The other things I have been doing - giving them more access...

    I may end up going insane

    I am so frustrated and upset.. ready to just curl into a ball and give up.  Long story short: I've been fighting at least one cat, maybe 2, spraying around the house and occasionally peeing on things. Recently, I got a new bedroom suit and mattress set. I found out I had a high allergic...

    I hired a feline behaviorist

    Saturday, I had a lady named Ingrid from Fundamentally Feline come to my house to give me advice on the 3 boys and the struggles I've been having. Her insights were very eye opening!  First, she said that I was not feeding them enough. She advocates free-feeding canned food and giving dry in...
