Brought in a neutered 2-3 year old male stray that I've been feeding for the
past 1 1/2 years because of extreme cold here in NY....  Took him to vet for
checkup today & he tested positive on Elissa test (in vets office).  Am not
sure if he ever got shots though rescue group I took ...

Our family was a tad short on funds this year so I decided to go the route
of a low-cost clinic this time to spay the feral cat we adopted in August.
Our other two cats were spayed by the vet. When I called to make an
appointment with the nearest low-cost clinic, they scheduled me ...

Many thanks for all the advice.  Big Boy had the IFA test today so we're
keeping our fingers crossed on the slim chance this will be negative.   As
it stands now, I do not have home for him & if test is +, I will have no
choice but to euthanize.  I would explore any alternatives ...

First, thanks to those who responded with thoughts and advice
regarding our vet who insisted that our cats ' Drontal  had to be
administered at the office by a "tech" ($38 for both cats).
As a result of the feedback, I strongly suggested to the vet that the

I have been lurking for a while and decided to post finally.  I have a
three cat household.  Bella(my first, and the oldest), widget (middle
cat), and cargo(youngest).  Bella and cargo despise each other.  They
often get into tiffs where bella ends up trapped on top of the

Hi all.............Our six year old female cat has been vomiting yellow
vomit two or three times a day for the last four days. She has not been
eating at all and not drinking to much either. She had this condition about
a year ago and it cleared up after two days. We are wondering ...

She's fine. It's like nothing ever happened. She has no problem
swallowing the prednisone pills, I just pop them in and she swallows.
She's taking the steps two at a time, leaping up to her window seat,
and talking nonstop.

Today has been terrible.
I knew something was wrong last night when my 4-year-old cat Cheeky
let out two howls after peeing in the litter box. She hid under the
bed for a short period then seemed normal, jumped up to sleep with us.

I have a fixed cat that constantly mounts my other male cat and he is
not doing anything but lying down
the other one tries to get away   poor thing

We have a 10-year-old, overweight, female, domestic shorthair that has

it's way around it's body the same way each wash? Do all cats wash their body
areas in the same order? How many times a week is each body area washed? Is
washing learned behaviour or is it instinctive in ...

My mother looks after several stray cats in Turkey where she lives.
One of them has a constant red discharge from one side of his mouth
which looks like dried blood. His gums are also bright red. He's only
about 6 months old.
