I had him to the vet yesterday.  He got a shot of cortisone and a
bottle of Linconsin Aquadrops, two 1ml droppers twice a day.
He's already getting better, but he took a pretty good chunk of meat
out of my wrist on the second dropper this morning.  I wonder if I

I'm a new first time cat owner who adopted a nice 1 year old male who

My roommate has recently been experiencing behavior with his cat where
she will puff up in front of him. She didn't seem like she was
aggressive or too unhappy, and he is able to pet her.

I'm home for the summer, and spending quality time for my cat.  My
mother saved Kitty's yearly check-up until I could take her myself.

Is it right to leave a cat caged for life in a no kill shelter.
I myself would rather be dead, than live my life in a cage.
Shouldn't there be a time limit, and aren't the euthanizations painless
to the animal?

Hi. I am just curious if anyone knows for sure if canned food should
be left in normal room temperature until opened, or is it better to
leave them in something like the butter section in the fridge to keep
it cool. I realize the cans can last a long time on the shelves in

This poor little thing has had a litany of tests over the years, she
definitely has allergies, she has had every treatement to rule out this and

Today's decision to NOT put TB through the surgery was probably THE MOS
difficult decision in my life.  After hemming, hawing, and crying abou
it for 4 days, I discussed it further with the vet and something jus

I have been searching for Interferon Omega for my Kitty and think I have
figured out how to get it. The FDA Division of Compliance can accept a
request from Vets to order medicine from other countries. Once the
information is faxed to the FDA, they will then send out a letter ...

Anyone have a cat taking this for bladder/urinary issues?
We're starting Carey on it today.  I can't wait to see what it does to
her appetite - she's already always wanting to eat!
I've taken it for allergies, had a cardiomyopathy cat take it as
