Get another vets opinion too and just keep pestering them, the timing just doesn't seem right here at all!

Re: cat peeing around the house...

No, do not just let her off with it. How have you been training her? Have you tried water spray training or the 'no and down' training? Is she the only cat or are there others? Also getting her used to the carrier case will really help you, leave the out so that it's not associated with the vets. Ma...

Re: cat peeing around the house...

First of all, don't chase her off!

Second, have you mentioned this to the vet? If you haven't, get on the phone to your vet now. Even if you have, still phone and say that you are really struggling with it and you want her checked again.

Re: New kittens - how far in the car?

So glad that you found a black and ginger in the same litter :) We went to meet Comet purely because he was black but once I met him his colour didn't matter and I just fell in love with him, he was also from a home breeder...her cats last litter before getting neutered. Personally I see no problem ...

Thanks hunnybunny, the wet food is never there long :L plus Scotland doesn't get too warm in Summer so that shouldn't be a problem.

Carix, this is so sad. I was really hoping that the little kitty would make it just long enough for vet intervention but sadly not. Sometimes, it is for the best though...the kitty was clearly very ill. How are the other four? Maybe it'd be best to get them all checked out to make sure that there is...

weird finger 'biting' and then licking

So comet has only just started to do this within the past day or two. He'll sniff mine of my partners fingers, then put his mouth around them, obviously leading to his teeth being around them but he doesn't bite or if he does it's not in a aggressive way, he then removes his mouth and starts to lick...

Hi - same as you say, our old vet told us wet food leads to more dental problems. Although we feed a mix of wet and dry. Moogle likes to graze, so he gets breakfast wet, then all day dry is available, dinner wet when we're back from work, and dry thru the night. He did have dirty teeth and went for...

Re: Wet food and cats teeth

Two of our cats were fed dry food only for the first 9 years of their lives. They both had to have a couple of teeth removed during that time. About 8 years ago we switched them to a raw diet and since then they have both had to have a couple more teeth removed. Our vet said that some cats are pre-...
