Cat Care

I'll admit, this is quite an odd topic to be brought up on our pet blog, but many of us have cats who seem to constantly have mood swings. Our cat Kalista loves to get petted. Sometimes she will beg for attention until we start petting her, but shortly after she will bite and then lick us. Beau is very similar, though oftentimes Beau will claw at us out of seemingly … [Read more...] about Can Cats & Kittens Have Schizophrenia? How Do You Tell?

In the case of Beau, our eldest, we had to wash him several … [Read more...] about What Can I Wash My Cat/Kitten With? Is Dish Soap/Detergent Safe? What Can I Use if I don’t have Cat Shampoo?

At this point, it should be no surprise that we had to go forward with Beau getting a PU Surgery. This decision, at first, was a difficult decision to make, but after reassurance from our vets, we ultimately chose to move forward with the surgery. We had battled previous urinary tract infections (UTIs), switching to all different types of food, and even tried reducing his … [Read more...] about What is a Perineal Urethrostomy (PU) Surgery, and what do I need to know?
