belly syndrome, which is basically feline OCD -- licking the hair off his
hind legs and belly.  He was on Valium for two weeks, then had a follow-up

Just the night before last, I was sitting here thinking I
would write a post saying Mingy has been fine since he blocked
and was diagnosed with Struvite crystals in January 2005.
Well, the next morning, I ended up calling the Vet, which led

I bought a seal tabby point Birman 3year old queen from a breeder

In early September my husband and I adopted an 11-month old gray tabby
neutered male from the local shelter.  At first he wouldn't eat (he had a
brother at the shelter who was the same way at that time) so I took him to
the vets and learned he had diarrhea so he was on Flagyl for a ...

Our Maine Coon cat likes just a (very) little milk in the morning when
we are eating breakfast......he doesn't get diarrhea from it.....but
someone was telling me they read that Maine Coon Cats can get ?????

I have a 2 year old orange tiger stripe fixed and front declawed male.  He
has some sorta blood issue where if he doesn't take the prednisone his white
blood cell count gets too high and he gets sick and could die.  He was on 5mg
of prednisone but as of recently he has been moved up ...

My sister has a 16 week old female kitten who is attacking the children.

normal with the exception of the BUN, which was only 12 points about normal.
I am feeding him pretty much whatever he wants for now but he doesn't seem to

Emily appears to be responding well to the antibiotic treatment for her
URI. But yesterday I brought her back to the vet and then the bad news

Did you ever have a cat that got VAS?

our cats the leukemia & rabies vaccination, neither of which is required

What can you do about a long-haired cat who needs his bum shaving?
We took him to the vet, who said it would probably need shaving every
three months.
Could we do it?

I'm thinking of getting the litter robot as a gift to my 2 cats for christmas
(read: gift to myself).
is it worth $300?  One of my cats shreds the litter bags and every week its a
gigantic ickfest to clean.  If this will remedy that problem I don't care

We trapped a few kittens yesterday in a feral colony. I was checking them
over today and noticed that one has an engorged tick on the back of it's
neck. If I apply frontline will that kill an already attached tick safely or
do I need to remove the tick?

I'm posting with a problem that's caused so much pain for me I don't

former feral I inherited when she was already older than 10 and whom I
tried to domesticate.  I succeeded partly, but only partly.
