My cat, 6 yrs old, could possibly have kidney failure (it might be a bladder infection but I won’t find out for another 2 weeks after antibiotics); he’s still energetic and doesn’t show any signs of illness. Ironically I have kidney disease as well and am using natural remedies like dandelion root tea and other herbs. Wheatgrass has also improved my health a lot. I am wondering these herbs would apply to cats as well?

Does anyone have any suggestions for diet (should it be homemade)? I’ve been doing research and they all say low salt, but some sites say good high quality protein while others say low protein. And should I stop using the chemical Frontline (flea medicine) on my cat?

Also, where on my cat are his kidneys located?

Thanks!

The closest place to buy the EVO is like, 30 miles away, yet science diet is right here in town. How would you compare the two? Is science diet just as good? When I’ve had cat problems in the past, science diet has always been the cure all. Do you think its as good as EVO? Or will it be a good balanced diet for my kitten ?

I got Archie from a rescue home and he does seem to have a problem with men. He has been very settled at my home but since my boyfriend moved in he will no longer stay indoors if I am at work but my boyfriend is indoors. This means that he will be outside in the wet and cold for up to 12 hours a day and then he sulks and will still refuse to come in when I do get home. It’s very upsetting as I obviously love both of them. My boyfriend has tried to get Archie to like him but he’s having none of it.

My boyfriend hates animals, he can only stand fish & hamsters, and I am a huge pet person. I have one cat, and a few hamsters already, but I really want another kitten for my cat I have now to keep him company. The only thing is, I need to convince my boyfriend, but I don’t know how. He says he cant afford it, but I pay for the cat I have now. Someone please please help
I think he isnt fond of cats because mine is so vocal and annoying. But my cat is really friendly, never hissed, always sweet, loves cats and dogs.
Okay, another thing. My boyfriend is not some crazy psychopath, he just isnt a huge animal lover. He is a funny, great, loving guy towards me.. I just need to convince him, Ive been with him for nearly 2 yrs, if he was abusive, I would have broken up with him

Months ago, he picked her up and spun her around and I think she’s never forgiven him. She won’t come into any room that he’s in, but when it’s just me she wants to cuddle and be petted. If I bring her into a room and he’s there, she completely wigs out and tries to get away.

I have a male cat as well and he loves my boyfriend to death. I just don’t want my female cat to be afraid and hide every time he’s around.

My kitten who is 6 months old, doesn’t seem to like my boyfriend. How do I get him to understand that my boyfriend doesn’t want to hurt him or me? My kitten has been with me since is was just a few weeks old.
my boyfriend loves the cat, but everytime he comes around Tommy Boy runs and hides or trys to bite or scratch him. How do I get him to understand that my boyfriend doesn’t want to hurt him. I don’t think Tommy Boy likes men in general.

I have a male cat (neutered) that I have had since he was a kitten. He is a little over two years old and is a mixed breed shorthair. My boyfriend has a 6 month old male bassett hound (just neutered). We are planning on moving in together sometime soon, and I was wondering what is the best way to introduce the two? My cat is very affectionate and has only been around one other cat (I had a roomate with a cat for over a year). His dog has only been around other dogs. He is house trained and stays in the house most of the time. My cat stays in the house all the time. I want both of our pets to be comfortable and happy, with as less stress from meeting the other pet as possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

My new boyfriend told me that people who own more than two cats are crazy. I don’t want him to think I’m crazy, so whenever he comes over, I sedate the other five cats and put them in a box. How often can I do this without harming them? And how can I prove to my boyfriend that people who own more than two cats are not crazy?
Yes, he is worth it. He’s very, very cute. And it’s not often that someone like him is interested in someone like me.

I love my cat almost like a child.He is pretty good for the most part in my opinion and my boyfriend loves him too.But my boyfriend is getting mad because he has:scratched our leather couch,left scratches on our Amish made coffee table,chewed the edges off our lamps(which are lead but he wasn’t hurt?) ran into my curio cabinet and my boyfriend is afraid he will break it eventually,a few other things and I guess the last straw was when he knocked over our Christmas tree and broke a few of our ornaments we got from vacation.What should I do,I don’t want to get rid of my cat but I’m tired of my boyfriend taking it out on me when my cat does this stuff.Should I try to just find him a good home?

People are always saying raw meaty bones and whole prey is better than the BARF diet. Isn’t barf raw too? People say BARF is expensive. Is that the only difference?
