Cat Health

Mary S asked:


My cat is a little over 2 years old. We thought he was acting funny bc of the 4th of July but he’s still acting the same way. I can’t get him to eat anything and as far as I know he won’t drink anything either. He stays hidden behind furniture sleeping all day and won’t come out hardly at all. I can’t even get him to play with his laser light that he loves to play with. Normally he will greet me when I walk in the door and he doesn’t do that anymore. Right now I can’t afford to take him to the vet bc my husband just recently started a truck driving job and I had to quit my job to stay home with our daughter. So right now we are a little low on money. Is there anything I can do or do I definitely need to take him to a vet?
I bought canned cat food for him. He licked the juice then walked off and went back to sleep. Then I was able to get him up again and he ate just a little bit. He acts like he’s weak and he feels warmer than usual.
He is an inside cat. He never goes outside due to the fact that I don’t want him bringing fleas home bc I have another cat.

Our cat had a urinary blockage a few months back and at our vet’s suggestion we purchased Purina One’s Urinary Tract Health Formula. This took care of his strained (sometimes non-existent) urination, but he has now developed fairly frequent diarrhea. He doesn’t exhibit any other signs of distress/illness, so I’m fairly convinced that this isn’t the sign of something more serious. I’m wondering how serious the diarrhea itself is and if there’s anything simple we can do to treat it. I have considered switching the food, which I’ll try after this batch runs out. Thanks in advance!
This isn’t the recalled food. It’s dry food, and to the best of my knowledge, the recall is for wet food only. Plus, the Purina One brand wasn’t affected. Thanks for the answer though.

I have heard that bells are harmful for cats, they disorient them and even can turn them deaf, besides such a permanent close noise being really annoying for an animal whose ears are much more sensitive than ours. Is this true?

I have my cat’s litter box in my bedroom and I’m just wondering if the fumes of her urine and poop can harm me. I’m not pregnant….I’m 17 yrs old. My room has two windows but sometimes it gets hot and when I forget to clean her litter it smells bad. I eventually clean it but I’m just curious as to if having the litter box in my room is not a good idea.

I have 3 cats, one male and 2 female. The Tortie has started on a habit of bringing more and more birds to the home. I scold her and tell her i am very unhappy with this and yet she still brings them home and not just to play with them. I am tired of this because the birds are generally babies and not even full grown. What can i do and is this bad for her health? Last night i heard her wheeze/hacking.

my “friend” abandoned her cat two years ago and i took it in. she had kittens last year; and this past year, she has been eatting ALOT, never gets full, but stayed rail thin. the vets didnt see any problems. she did not have worms. she passed away yesterday, and i dont know why. Her kitten is 1 yr old now, and they ate the same things, but he stayed fat, and like i said netiher of them had worms. should i be worried about his health?

I’m 35 weeks pregnant and my new roommate brought an old, mouse catching, angry cat with her when she moved in. I’m semi-allergic to cats as it is but I’m wondering if there’s anything I should really be worried about because I live in a small apartment but I’m not the one who cleans the litter and I avoid the cat as much as I can.
