As with many things, some items seem to always center around dogs; cats seem to have to take the back seat. It can be very difficult to find cat harnesses. I have also resorted to using extra-small or small dog harnesses for the cats I have and work with. I am not a huge fan […]
You can use a human thermometer. I usually recommend a digital thermometer.
Cats do not like having their temperature taken and I always worry about the glass and mercury in regular thermometers if they decide to move fast or take off mid-procedure. A cat’s normal temperature is higher than ours, “normal” runs from about 99.5 to […]
I suspect that you mean cerebellar hypoplasia. These kittens are usually born due to an in-utero viral infection.

Unfortunately, I’ve heard the same comments with respect to cats that scratch the floor in front of their food. This is usually not a positive response to the food. To test this you might try changing the food being offered. If the cat still does this for other foods, either your cat is a very […]
The most common reason a cat may drool is something wrong in their mouth. This could be a dental problem or something they ate irritated their mouth. Some cats will drool when they are being petted, but that is a different situation. A visit to your veterinarian might be in order.

When a young kitten does not use their pan it could be that they were introduced to another type of litter material as a kitten. Kittens’ will mimic the type of material they see the mother use and if your kitten was raised on an unusual litter he may have a preference for something […]
