cat health
Isis Is: PLEASE HELP MY KIDS!! asked:


i know my daughter in law posted a question not long ago about her cat peeing on her bed. someone suggested butter on the cats feet as a way to clean and relax (it didn’t work).
the cats been moved quite frequently. and spent sometime riding cross country in a big truck.
but the cat also vomits frequently. he was vetted just before they moved here to TN and had a UTI which has cleared up.
the cat is about 2 1/2 yrs, and she got him from a pet store (yuck i know, but she didn’t know how bad that could be). he’s never been tested for Feline Leukemia.
he has a beautiful velvety coat.
what are the symptoms for Fe. luke?
we’re going to have some blood work etc done, but right after the holidays plus my car breaking down, has limited our funds until next week. he doesn’t seem distressed. eating and drinking normally. other than fe. luke, what should i ask my vet to test for?
the cat has never been outside except on a leash when they were in the truck. he’s not in a truck anymore. they moved here a few weeks before Christmas.
and “K” keeps the litter box immaculate.
because he also used MY bed as a litter box, he’s now restricted to their room.
