Cat Chat Feline Forum

I am sorry for the constant negativity We've tried everything written on the internet and everything from my experience with cats. Spaska is going to be 3 months old on September the 1st and she gets along great with Casper and Kala. Even when she harasses them they set her straight and she backs do...

Joe I don't think we're suggesting kittens don't have to learn to control their teeth and claws, but from that to a syndrome and behavioural issues seems a stretch. But our new member has dogs and a ferret so I should imagine is familiar with young animals and their needle-sharp teeth and playfulne...

I think it's too early for me to speak on this whole Single Kitten Syndrome thing, but where I live people usually adopt kittens out at a month and a half, which IMO is exceptionally early. When I was giving mine away I was pressured to give them away at that age by my vet and people wanting to adop...

Doubt we can find that here but I'll give it a shot After mu last post I did some reading on Soda Bicarbonate/Baking Soda and apparently it's not toxic to cats unless they eat a lot of it this is a concoction that is mostly water so it should be fine. Apparently you can brush their teeth with it too...

So I should brush her teeth with baking soda?
Damp toothbrush, some baking soda solution and that's it? I could try, she doesn't seem to mind the taste of soda or the rinsing

Just came back from the vet, it's mostly decent news It's not great, but it's not bad either. - The vet did bloodwork and all that again, Mila's white cell count is increasing which is great her thrombocytes were low too but they've gone up as well. Meaning the Immuno-Globulin meds Mila is taking ar...

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been asking my vets to clean Mila's teeth for a while now, but they kept saying her teeth are fine after a quick check up because they genuinely don't like putting cats under anesthesia if they can avoid it, which I understand. It's clear she needs dental care tho, I'm sure K...

After taking those pics and self diagnosing it's Stomatitis my mom make a concoction of baking soda and water which is her main go-to anti inflammatory solution for sore throat, canker sores and such. She rinsed Mila's mouth several times and sure enough a couple hours later, Mila was able to eat we...

I couldn't tell you if she is missing a tooth or not honestly the vets never said anything, but a persian's teeth placement/jaw structure can be a tad weird If it is stomatitis it seems the only way to permanently fix it is full on tooth extraction of all teeth but supposedly that doesn't bother cat...

The vet cancelled on me today, because he had major surgeries to do and wanted to give Mila his full attention, so he said to come in tomorrow at 1:30PM. Since she is relatively fine and goes to the bathroom regularly, is alert when addressed and drinks water and eats the sauce of the wet food on he...

Thank you all so much for being kind and patient with me Mila had some wet food, she gulped down the sauce but whenever she'd try to eat any of the actual meat pieces she'd start grinding and drooling foam. I'm 90% this is a tooth issue, but proving that and finding out is going to be very hard. The...

I fully agree with this but the vet refused to do that last time. He saw her throat was a mess and that was it even tho I insisted throat infections like that could be secondary to prolonged tooth issues. One of her teeth is darker, but not loose and she doesn't mind us touching it. My mom carefully...

Mila just went to eat dry food, before I could grab the phone to record her, as soon as she put some kibble in her mouth she shook her head in pain and started grinding her teeth. She did this last time too I suspected a bad tooth then but the vet said it was her throat I strongly suspect a bad toot...

We don't have any plants or toxins Also Mila never puts anything in her mouth that isn't her own food I'm not ruling it out, but I don't know what it could possibly be If anyone puts random things in their mouth it's Casper and Spaska, but Mila and Kala are the opposite. I think it's reoccurring inf...

Do NOT get another kitten or puppy Cats don't react to young kittens the same way a human would, to them, they bring a lot of stress and cause a lot of anxiety, especially if they're older. Knowing this I still adopted a kitten we found on the street and Mila, my 7.5 year old cat has not been having...

I wasn't sure if I should post in the kitten topic or this one, but this seemed more appropriate. We just can't catch a break To recap: - Mila delayed her pooping/peeing because she had bladder stones, not so much because of Spaska - All her bloodwork is top notch except her low blood cell count due...

I know it's not ideal, but try adding a litterbox or two in the areas where she does this if it's always in the same areas. Hopefully she is going to start using those and eventually forget about spraying outside, it's a long shot since this is urine marking/spraying but it's worth a shot if you're ...

I'm glad she made it, if it is starting to work on her it'll work out eventually most likely. When we found Spaska, at only 3 weeks old she wouldn't stop leaking poop, she had no parasites or anything yet she was looking poop for a week or so. The vet gave her an injection and since she was eating s...

Mila gets very upset with Spaska when she goes crazy and starts biting everyone and jumping on their faces and necks, Mila can't stand this, but I think she also understands Spaska is a kitten and cares for her. For example, the other day Mila woke up in a bit of a panic meowing, this has been happe...

Hey everyone! It's been a week since Mila started taking her URINO Cat pills, she hates them but they seem to have done wonders for her. Since last Saturday she hasn't missed a day of pooping and her peeing schedule is back to normal. However, Spaska is more annoying than ever with her litterbox ant...

With three, now four cats myself, this is one of my biggest fears. Unfortunately this happens and if you've read and tried everything, all you can do is be patient and be happy they're slowly starting to be friends again, even if they don't sleep together it doesn't mean they won't like each other. ...

Well Spaska WAS/IS to blame for spooking Mila in the litterbox 3 times that day, no doubt about that. I still have to watch and make sure Spaska doesn't bother her, especially now. The vet prescribed URINO CAT for the bladder stones and sand, he called it sand dunno if that's the English term, it's ...

Yesterday Mila peed and pooped perfectly normally, but today I noticed that when she went this morning she passed very little pee. Around 4PM I heard Mila meowing in pain, Casper rushed to where I was and took me to her in an instant, like a puppy, she was sitting above her new litterbox meowing. I ...

Macedonia is a very low income country, even if vets had the technology as you said, who would be able to afford high vet bills. People on average make 500 euros a month here, myself included, which is perfectly fine for a nice comfortable life. However if you make 500 a month and have to pay anothe...

Thank you so much
If I can do it I would be honored to draw you a dragon If you like my style that is.
At least vet bills are fairly low here, so that's something I find some comfort in.

Molly, that is so spot on you have no idea. Word to word that's exactly the case. I have a couple of friends who feel much the same way about this kinda stuff, be it dogs or cats, but most friends and people IRL don't get me, even those who own pets. Thank you I am sorry to be such a dang bother I'v...

I'm so sorry about panicking, according to my vet, since I have an AC cooling the house Mila couldn't possibly be affected by the heatwave, even tho as Ruth said there are more factors about the weather than just heat. but my vet's outburst, the people on that forum pressuring me, people IRL giving ...

Ruth, it's like you're reading my mind. I wouldn't EVER put Spaska out on the street, I'm just saying that people pressure me into doing it. Neither me nor my mom who found her and brought her in would do that. Sadly people don't understand this, they see we're worried and their advice is, well let ...

You have no idea how much your support means to me. The vet's reaction yesterday and then the comments on that video game forum about me abusing my cats because I don't have conditions to take care of them all, that I'm a cat hoarder and what not. People IRL preaching to me about how I should just d...

Well I'm at my wits end I put up an ad on facebook about potentially rehoming Spaska, nobody responded because I actually want her well taken care of. Mila was fine yesterday peed 3 times, normal, small clumps of pee she peed this morning too no issues with Spaska whatsoever and that was it Mila has...
