Hi Group,
 I just had new carpet installed in my home, and my cat has adopted the
corner of my livingroom to poop in. There is no urine smell, just poop.
She has a litterbox and it seems she is also using it.

My cat hates to be brushed.  Hates it to the point where it is just a power
struggle with us.  I want to brush her and she wants to get away.  I have
tried everything I can think of to get her to accept it more readily.  I
have tried brushing her when she is relaxed, giving her ...

Bilbo was recently hit by a car and has lost his sight.  I have read
that they will learn there surroundings, but my concern is him getting
enough water.  He tried to drink some last night and about drowned
himself.  Is there anyone that can give me a  tip on how to help him?  I

I've posted about this before. So I apologize for the redux. But the
problem hasn't been solved. Basically here's the scoop. We have 4 cats.  
Two cats hang out through the night and are happy to see us in the morning
(both for food an attention). The other two cats (a brother and ...

With all the fish going on the restricted or
banned list I thought I should ask.      Dan

I have a two and a half pound male kitten who was rescued off the street. When
he poops, instead of crouching so his butt is elevated like a normal cat does,
he pushes his bottom into the litter and ends up with quite a mess stuck to his
behind. After I clean him up he drags his ...

My 3 yo FIV+ cat has been hospitalized for two weeks now.
His white blood cell count is VERY LOW.
My vet would like to release him if the count goes up, but there are
no signs in that direction.

I've been following the thread re: FELF+ having Big Boy & Tucson as
positives.  I've held off on interferon and now am reconsidering... I wonder
if anyone has experience/answers...
1) There seems to be some controversy about 7 day on-7day off approach...

I have a problem with one of my cats. He is a big ball of fluff, very
docile and not aggressive at all but he has taken to stealing from my
neighbours houses.
He does hunt for mice etc but more often now he is bringing home shoes

I need some food information for cats with Oxalate stones. I read
somewhere that cats with Struvite crystals should eat a meat based
diet and cats with Oxalate stones should eat a plant based diet. I was
always under the impression that plant based diets weren't very good

Hey all -- unusual problem here, looking for advice.
Our poor boy, a lovely sphynx, has been losing weight
for 3 months, until you can see every vertebra, even in his tail.
The vets said he was diabetic, and prescribed

Since we've been talking about shedding, I have a question.  I noticed my
little short-haired tortie girl had two mats in her coat today.  One I was
able to break up with my fingers, but the other one I had to cut out.  I
gave her a thorough brushing afterwards.  I've never seen a ...

Well the old boy is home.
OK, the state of his FIV won't be fully known until his western blot is back
probably next Monday.
He's on tapazole for the thyroid.  As it turns out he has a sludge-like

I took my 9-year-old cat to the vet today because she's been biting at the
base of her tail.  She also has some red skin and scabs along her spine near
the base of the tail.  I assumed flea allergy - she has been going outside
occasionally after three years indoors, so she is ...

I heard to day on National Public Radio that the North Carolina State
University School of Veterinary Medicine now has the ability to perform MRIs
on cats and dogs. The cost is $1,200.00 and the clip I heard makes it sound
like that would be full body. IAMs helped with funding.
