My cat is 2 years and six months old. last February she was diagnosed with pancreatitis. Of course, they have to do an exploration surgery to find what was causing her such pain. But after about two weeks of the surgery she started suffering from Epilepsy seizures. Sometimes she is totally normal and quiet and on other occasions she gets the seizures two to three times a day!! We try to keep everything quiet, not to use detergents as the smell sometimes make her tired and we feed her good. I am so worried about her and it breaks my heart to find her in such pain. Please Please tell me what to do. Thanks

Hello again, Gonzo has been sneezing a lot more in the past few weeks, what could this be? Sometimes he doesn't sneeze at all one day, then he would be sneezing a lot. It's so inconsistant that it's not driving me to get quickly to the vet. Is this a cold or an allergy?

Has anyone opened a bag of Swheat Scoop lately and found it exceptionally powdery/dusty? I have, didn't think anything about it, used it, and wound up with a $700+ vet bill for two dehydrated cats who were probably ingesting this powder while grooming, which I later realized actually stuck to my hand in a film. I took some to Petco and they agreed it was abnormal. I phoned Swheat customer service on Thursday, May 27, 2010, and they said they had just changed out a screen in their plant 3 days earlier, which had a bigger hole than they realized until they changed it. Cats have different litter now, and are putting weight back on. Can't prove it's related to Swheat, but blood tests showed no cause. I wrote Swheat to consider a recall, and wonder if I shouldn't be cautioning folks - if so, how? Maybe somebody more computer literate than I can pass this along? I have saved the last Swheat bag, and sent a baggie of it to Swheat. Page Williams, Houston TX Email Removed"> Email Removed ...

Not sure how to find the words to express how traumatic my experience was yesterday in having my dearest friend Shadow being put to sleep. I have had him for 17 years and we have battle his heart disease problem for some time. He had his chest drained twice and the last time it only lasted just 3 weeks so i made the extremely painful decision to put my dearest friend to sleep. I made the call to the vet who came up and examined him, and agreed that it was the right time, as he was laboured with his breathing once again. I wanted him to be put to sleep at home in the quiet and familiar sound and smell of home. I was expecting an injection in to his vein, as i had had another cat put to sleep this way over 20 years ago, which was very peaceful. The vet said that they now do cats direct in to the kidney as it is quick and painless, so i agreed. I have never been able to stop my tears, since, as the vet felt for the correct place which was so upsetting in itself, once found he injected Shadow in to his kidney, and it will haunt me forever. He screamed for over 20 seconds struggling to get away, even trying to bite me as i had to hold him still to enable the injection. In 17 years he had been a gentle giant, and at that moment his eyes were filled with fear. It will stay with me the rest of my life. I have spent the whole day looking in to this, as i cant get over it. I dont understand why he was not sedated first, everything i tried to avoid happened, a thousand times worse than i can ever image.I feel devastated that his ending was filled with so much pain and fear, it make me feel so let down by the vets, and feel i let him down in his last moments. I wanted to be with him so he wasnt alone or afraid even though i was so afraid myself, and the trauma will haunt me always.Just dont understand why this painful technique is ever done without sedation, it seems extremely cruel. Just feel i dont know what to do with myself and needed to talk it out. This was my awful experience of euthanasia, and i will never allow another vet to do this again without sedation. Thanks for listening, broken hearted, xxx Jane

My 18 month old cat got spayed on the 18th of April. She didn't eat anything since the 17th (today is the 21st) except for a small bite of tuna. She drinks a lot of water though. She slept for two days and uses the litter box. Her incision looks healthy and she doesn't seem to be in pain, neither does she have a fever. She walks around now. What can I do to get her to eat? I left tuna, dry food, several types of wet food and chicken at her usual eating place. PS: The other cats are treating her like an outcast now, so I am keeping her away from them. She doesn't seem depressed and slept in my bed last night. It is also close to winter here, so the cold may play a role.

My 12 yr old cat has always been my shadow.....she calmly follows me up and down the stairs and comes and goes from my bedside as she pleases...she's not super cuddly affectionate, but aloof and very matter of fact when she's hungry..one or two crisp meows by the food dish usually will send the right message.....she has alone time...in her favorite perches...but when I'm home she's usually near by but indifferent.. Lately, she has been obsessively "stalking" me for lack of a better term. She sits up right beside me as I'm on the laptop...paw obsessively tapping my arm as I type....this could go on for up to an hour...I have tried to satiate her in every way...thinking ...she obviously needs something...is it food?...no...water? ...no TLC and long ear scratch session...ok.....that should do it?...nope.....still with the paw....we are not finished yet....we go into many rooms.....and I am no closer to figuring this out..... I have to tell her 20 times or so to relax and lay down.....I have noticed that she's might be doing this in my sleep....I had a small scratch on my nose the other morning.... Anyone who has any cat decoder clues...feel free to fill me in... We are on month 2... I just want an interpreter or the number to the cat psychic please!

Does anyone have experience of looking after an incontinent cat? Tips & advice will be highly appreciated. The vets are trying to persuade me to put him to sleep but I can't. He's too loving and affectionate.
