    Very finicky cat

    Hi all, I have two cats, both about a year and half. The girl, Emma Gomez, is a month older and quite a bit bigger (around 11 1/2 pounds), the male, Huey, is smaller and about 9 1/2 pounds. Huey has ALWAYS had eating issues. Meaning he eats, walks away, gets distracted, comes back, takes a few...

    Wound healing questions

    Hi, My 1-year-old cat has a small wound on his upper front leg (probably from roughhousing with my other cat--they love each other and play fight and play all the time). I took him to the vet who said it was very small (it didn't look infected, there's no pus), she cleaned it and to be on the...

    Kitten To Cat Food Question

    Hi there, Well, my kittens are growing up! The older one is about 11 months old and the younger one, 10 months. I'm still feeding them three cans of food per day--3 times a day. It's a mixture of Wellness Kitten and Fancy Feast Kitten. I throw in a little Orijen cat/kitten on top and they...

    Two Kittens Going Nuts

    I've got two kittens--one is 10 months old, the other 9. I realize this is their "teenage" years. One of them, Gomez, the older one has been very badly behaved and the younger one follows her--then when he realizes it pisses me off, he stops (it's actually pretty cute--he's a total mama's boy...

    Kitten Eating Habits

    Hi there, I have two kittens--one's 7 1/2 months old and one's 6 1/2. Both are spayed/neutered. I'd been feeding them 3 cans of Wellness kitten a day and my vet told me that Wellness can cause crystals in male cats and urged me to switch. I did to Fancy Feast kitten (mixed in with a little...

    Kitten Not Yet Neutered Issues

    Hi, I recently adopted two rescue kittens (they arrived here nearly 2 months ago). The girl was fixed before I got her. The boy wasn't (he was emaciated and had to gain weight). He's now super healthy at a good weight, adorable and the plan is to have him neutered by the end of March. He's...

    Switching Kittens From 4 Meals A Day To 3

    I adopted 2 rescue kittens about a month and half ago. After a few growing pains (diarrhea and finally finding food they both love that agrees with them), the diarrhea went completely away with one and *mostly* away with the other (some of her poops weren't as formed as the other). One cat is...

She him to a vet--he was still not gaining much weight, did another fecal and he had Giardia. Gave him meds...

    Lamont Forever

    I had to put my beloved cat Lamont to sleep yesterday. Yes, I am a train wreck.  He was my baby, my best friend and the love of my life all rolled in one. My mom gave him to me 14 years ago; she passed away 8 years later. He was the last living connection to her which makes it even tougher. ...
