Lucky for me, I have mostly hardwood floors. I already vacumed all my furniture in detail and cleaned all my floors. I changed sheets and all also. Basically, I treated/changed/cleaned all fabric in my home. Perhaps there are a few left in the house that haven't died yet but soon will. My pest contr...

I was gone for awhile and came home to a flea infestation. I called pest service and had my house treated. At the same time, I took my two cats to the vet to be treated and left them overnight so that they weren't exposed to the chemicals in the house. The vets office treated them with Advantage and...

Well, I thought about that. Yesterday I spoke to my vet again about it. Mind you, I really really love my vet. He's an older very kind man who seems to really love his job. anyhow, he says there are like 2-4 of them in each eye but states they aren't bad enough yet to affect his vision. Says his eye...

I'd DEFINATELY take them over for a visit or two before I left. Just to make sure the cats have been exposed to your parents home and know their surroundings. you don't want to leave and have the kitties think you abandoned them there. I personally would be scared to death that one would get out and...

My male cat is an 18 year old siamese whom we've had since birth. He has started yowling quite often. About a few months ago he started doing it only at night and not every night. Vet said he has cataracts but they aren't bad at all and didn't know what might be going on. Perhaps senility. Now, he h...

"been there, done that!" (as they say). Yes, urinating is a very good indication that something could be wrong physically and therefore should be taken to vet. However, once a uti or anything medically wrong has been ruled out there are a few things you can look at. My 18yr old male occasi...

We adopted a georgous Snow shoe siamese 7 months ago. almost 11 months old now. She had quite the personality. She was so fiesty and played non stop. (typical kitten). Then we had her spayed. She instantly changed dramatically. She didn't just slow down - she down right stopped! She will play if you...

Hello to all. (and thank you Jason!) I have two cats. A 1yr old female siamese and an 18yr old male siamese. The younger has never stepped foot outdoors. The older cat has been requesting to go out about once a day and stays out for approx 2-3 hours. We live an about 1 acre without any other animals...

Wow! First of all, the phrase "I'm gonna kill him" is just that - a phrase that many many of use referring to someone we're currently upset at. That doesn't mean to take it literally! I've said that to my husband before that doesn't mean I have any intentions. When I referred to him as &qu...

My elderly cat decided to become an indoor only cat. I told my vet that I didn't want to waste money on unnecessary shots if there is no possible way for him to be exposed to anything. My vet agreed and said to only get his rabies (only because it's law here ) (Naturally though, about 2 months later...
