No cat diseases are transmittable to dogs, and if he HAS rabies, he's going to rapidly become sick and die within the next day or two, so it's likely he doesn't have that! However, I should mention that rabies vaccines are REQUIRED in most states, and it's illegal not to have them done. If you

There are some Vegans out there that don't seem to have health problems feeding their cats vegan diets, but I'm not too sure it's really a GOOD thing to do to a cat, being, like you said, carnivores themselves. I definitely would not want to press my luck with turning a FELV+ cat vegan, it's

My opinion only but, dry food is what makes most cats fat, dry really isn't good for cats. It is mostly grains and carbohydrates and cats do not need either and in fact cannot proccess them very well. When Buddie was way over weight, she ate ONLY dry all her life, would not have anything to

Hi Carrie - Again, welcome to the list. That really is difficult, and tugs at my heart. My Lancelot just died, and seemed like he never thrived, poor baby. When he was sick, his 3rd eyelids would come out . He was less than a year when I got him, and maybe going on 2 when he died. I agree

It is possible it's a bad reaction to Revolution. I'm constantly appalled that vets PRESCRIBE the stuff to cats that are ill, weak, or unthrifty, as it CLEARLY states on the label that it's NOT for use in weak, underweight, or unthrifty cats. At this point, I think it should be pretty much

My boyfriend specifically said to me several times this past month "NO MORE CATS!". That means housecats, the ferals wont be in "his" space so that's OK. I tend to agree with him, 6 really is my maximum number in this apartment, any more would tend towards "hoarding".
