I have an 8 year old cat that I have always fed wet and dry food to. I only feed her organic cat food with no by products in it. Because of the recent pet food recalls I stopped feeding her wet food as the options seemed so limited of which food was safe and am now only feeding her organic dry food. She seems content with only the dry but I am wondering if she was getting more nutrients by eating both or if it is OK to just keep her on the diet of only dry?

Thanks for your advice.

If i take her in for her appointment and get her spayed, will that terminate a pregnancy if she even is pregnant???? NO STUPID ANSWERS

Today I gave away my 4 year old cat to a very nice family. I did it because I feel I have too many other animals [2 other cats and a dog] This cat has been with me and my family since she was born and she had her 1st and only litter at my house. There's a part of me that's really heartbroken because I did love her and always will. However, I also feel I need to live a decent life and it's not easy to keep a house if you have too many animals. It's also not easy to take care of them. I took a cat to the vet yesterday and had a 400 dollar bill. I was going to charge a fee but when I visited their home it was beautiful they have no other animals. And the little girls were so excited they had been wanting a cat forever. I am still torn though, I am afraid she won't adjust and will be sad and lost that she's not with us anymore,there's a big part of me that wants to try and get her back and get a kitten for them. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE DISCRIPTION BELOW:(THANKS)

I live three hours away from the nearest hospital for animals, so I can't afford a bundle for the vets or a bundle for gas as far as my money goes, but my cat... My best mouser in fact, keeps moaning. I think he's in pain. He has been vomiting and panting. He looks bloated, and he won't let me touch him. He has this occur monthly and then it will go away. I don't know what could possibly be wrong. The vomit is clear and I don't think that he could be dehydrated. I"m thinking he could have a painful parasite of some kind that is slowly eating him inside out, as it did for about four of our chickens. Although that is the best thing I can possibly think of . Don't let that influence your prediction though. I don't know how to help him. In fact, financially I can't, so can anyone tell me what is wrong and can help me? Thank you!

Well I admit I am not an animal person. I'm scared of most of them, and I'm just plain old not a fan of them. But I wish I were.

In my first marriage though, we had a LOT of cats. And I liked them a lot, but once I moved on...I never wanted to have cats again...but my kids love animals especially my 7 year old son, and I thought a cat would be better than a dog.

Well today, my husband and I adopted a beautiful long hair tabby cat, and she really is a sweetie. She's two years old, already spayed, has all her shots, and you can pretty much pick her up and she'll stay on your lap while you pet her. The only thing that I am nervous about is, she hasn't eaten or drinken anything all day...(we've had her about 6 hours)...and when I put her in her litter box, she just laid in it for about 1/2 hour.
She's isolating herself too...and obviously it's her first day, and she's scared and nervous...and she may just be lazy and a loner...but when will she eat?

Cat showed up last Friday, won't leave, but I'll gladly keep her, just don't want to spend a lot of money if cat has owner. She also has a limp in her right rear leg, like broken, but didn't heal right. I don't mind keeping her, but don't want a litter of kittens either, as this is a female cat. I purchased some Frontline, took care of the fleas pretty well. She needs to be checked over, have shots, x-ray etc. but is there any help out there that cares about abandoned animals, charities or anything that doesn't put the burden on me? Please help, it's a very loveable cat, but I don't really have the money to put in someone elses animal. Will post FOUND CAT signs in the neighborhood to see if anyone lost this cat, but there are several cats around here, male& female, time is running out,don't need her to have kittens.

My 14 year old cat had what the vet called a "cyst" on his neck for several months. We were told not to worry about it. Then in the last couple of weeks, the cyst started getting bigger. Yesterday we noticed that it was visibly protruding out from his hair. It looks like a big skin-colored pea. We decied to return to the vet today... but then we noticed it was gone. We found the "cyst" sitting in his bed. No blood on it, or visible scratch marks. It looks like it just fell off. Anyone ever hear of such a thing? We saved the "cyst"... I know, I know... but we are wondering if we should take it and the cat in for a visit with the vet. Any thoughts? Thanks!!

He says that she will go into shock if he drains the fluid. Instead, he prescribed lasix but he feels that it will not be effective. Can fluid be drained a little at a time.? At the vet's office, he drained a syringeful and she was greatly improved when she got home. I feel that we need to get that fluid out.

My boyfriends dads cat is losing weight badly. She is about 2 yrs old and not spayed so she does go into heat alot.About a month ago she started losing weight and it just keeps coming off. She is so thin now, her sides are almost concave. I'm not around her alot but the other day I saw her rubbing her butt on the carpet. Could it be worms? would that cause the weight loss? Could it be the stress of going in heat so much? Any ideas? I know we should take her to the vet, but I'd like to aviod that if we can cause we can't afford it right now

I gave some leftover sardines to some cats living in my backyard. a mother, and 2 kittens. I tried to give some to the kittens because I know they didn't have anything to eat, cause I've been watching and feeding them for fun these days. and the mother just tried to grab the food from me and her paw touched my index finger. Is something gonna happen to me now? and what I really fear is getting those worms in my body, cause I've read some stuff on that.

Also, I don't plan on raising those cats, but just feeding them for fun or until they leave. so, I'm not getting any cat food for them either. and it also looks like both the kittens lost 1 eye.

My cats have worms and I bought medicine for them, it said it's for round worms. Is it the same as heart worms? How can I tell which worms my cats even have? PLEASE don't say to go to the vet. I WOULDN'T be here asking if I had the money to ask a vet. Basically, it's little white things that come out the cats anus. I found out yesterday that my pregnant cat has this affliction as well. She should be giving birth in 1-2 weeks. Is it all right to give her the medicine as well?

I have had a male kitty for about 2 months now, & he's probably about 3 1/2 to 4 months old. I adopted another last weekend, & she's about 2 months. I've had to keep them in separate rooms, of course. I know it's only been a week & it takes time, but the male kitty is still trying to pounce her & bite her neck. Although he's never hissed at her, I can't tell if he's being dominant aggressive or playing too rough. So, I've been monitoring their actions like crazy, just to make sure she doesn't get hurt, & then I have to put him in another room when it gets too rough. Otherwise, she just wants to play with him, & all he wants to do is bite! Do I just keep doing what I'm doing until he "gets over it" & chills out? He also has this whiny meow when I separate them for a few minutes. I was supposed to get him neutered this weekend, but I forgot to NOT feed him, so I have to wait. PLEASE don't tell me to do the obvious, I'm well aware. Will neutering affect his behavior? Thanks!

I don't have a lot of details, because I was just told by my mom that my cat apparently threw up last night some time. Should I be concerned? Or is this ok every once in a while? We've had Remy for 3 weeks as of tomorrow. He hasn't thrown up before while we've had him. He seemed pretty normal last night. And seems fine today. I don't know if this will help any but he is a 3 year old Domestic Short Hair Grey Tabby.
