cat health ? MY family cat is 22 will be 23 in march. well she's an inside cat she use to be chubby but now she's skin and bones. she throws up a lot depending on the cat food. just recently she's been having her tongue out and doesn't put it back in her mouth for awhile or u touch it. could something be wrong with her health? any ideas what might be wrong? could she have had a stroke? she's been more annoying now like always wants to be on you or someone(that's why i think she's getting close to dying) cause people say they want more of ur attention and get close to u more when somethings wrong or going wrong. my mom fed her tuna and she liked that and actually kept that down. I told my mom to start buying can food that helps the digestive system. she hasn't thrown up lately. i'm trying to convince my mom to take her to the vet. She's such a big part of our family i don't know what will happen when she's gone. My mom has never taken that cat to the vet cause she's always been healthy with nothing wrong but i told my mom somethings gotta be wrong now so its time to do it. one time like 6 months ago she was laying and it didnt look like she was breathing i thought she was dead and i moved her touched her stomach and nothing so i was crying and told my mom and then my mom went back there n touched her n she woke up so that cats gonna give me a heart attack. she's mainly deaf and partially blind from what we can tell or maybe she just has selective hearing

Is it safe for me to feed Purina Urinary Tract Health formula cat food to both of my cats? I have two cats. One was just diagnosed with a UTI. =( He's on antibiotics. I also went and bought a bag of Purina Urinary Tract Health cat food, since I heard it's good. I read on the website that you're not supposed to mix it with other types of cat food. In other words, you're only supposed to feed your cat the Purina Urinary Tract food for maximum effectiveness. So my question is, should I just put down the Purina and take up the regular food? Is it safe for me to do that? Thanks guys! Any other tips on how to help my kitty feel better are welcome. This is his second UTI. (I think he's stressed b/c we just moved.)

Can my cat get any health problems by nursing when she is not the mother nor ever has been one? My cat has been nursing our newest kitten for about the past 2 months (I'm pretty sure no milk is produced and he does perfectly fine with his food). She is not his mother nor has she ever had kittens (she thinks she is his mom though). The kitten was 9 weeks when we got him and he started nursing from her a few weeks later. I thought it would stop relatively quickly since he was getting way too old to nurse but he is about 4 months now and she is still letting him nurse. Can she get any health problems from this or start having false pregnancies? If so how can i stop this behavior?

My cat may have cancer. What can I do to improve his health/chances? Merlin is 12 years old. He has already been scheduled for surgery, later this month, to removed the large tumor (which is on his hind leg), but the results from biopsy won't be back until May 1st. In general, he has experienced good health, and is active, though chubby (12.8 pounds). He lives with two female cats, one older and one much younger. They all eat a high quality dry food, for "sensetive skin," and are much-loved indoor cats. I know the usual answers (chemotherapy, vet-precribed medication), but was hoping that pet lovers might have some other ideas, foods or supplements he could injest, homeopathic remedies, medical therapies that have worked for pets you know, specific medications that worked wonders for your "baby," etc.

How do I get my cat to eat wet cat food instead of dry cat food? I have heard that dry cat food is bad for your cats health. My cat loves dry cat food and only eats a small amount of the wet cat food. I used to give her dry food in the mornings but now I have started to give her wet cat food as that would be the time when she is the most hungry. This morning she woke me up meowing becuase she was hungry and I fed her one of those small tins of cat food and she only ate half. An hour later she still didn't finish it. I gave her a small pile of dry cat food and she ran straight over and ate it. I don't think it is enough food for her to be eating only one small tin of cat food a day (half in the morning, half at night). She is already small and although her weight is okay, she really doesn't need to be any thinner.

I need suggestions to get my cat back to better health.? She's about 14 years old, and I love her to death!!! Her name is Nanner. Anyway, she is an outside/inside cat, but lately she's been outside a lot. I've been in the same place, away from the city and in the country, ever since I've had her. In the winter she gains weight just fine and does good. But in the summer it gets bad. This time, it's the worst yet. She doesn't ever eat when she comes in, and I don't know if she's getting water out where she runs around. I'm not sure if she's getting sick; I'm out of town and I'm having a friend take care of her. Nanner always gets down when I'm gone, but all she's been doing is sleeping and not eating. I haven't gone to the vet; it's expensive and I know it's worth it, but I just can't. What can i do to get her to eat? I'll call up my friend and tell him.
