I think the cat might have been sick or something because it lost patches of fur. I forgot to wash my hands after and then i pet my cat. I didnt touch either my house cat or the stray cat’s saliva, so i don’t think i can give my cat rabies. But can other diseases be transfered by touch?
this was only a few days ago, and my cat isn’t showing symptoms. if i take him to the vet then what can he do?

I recently moved from an apartment where my cat had another cat friend to play with. I would feed my cat one bowl in the morning and the other cat got feed at midnight and was fed an obscene amount of food. So now my cat bangs on my door and cries all night long to be fed. She probably weighs 19-20 pounds. I need to get her weight down and for her to stop begging. She will lay by her bowl and meow and chase you around the house. I dont give in, I still feed her in the morning, but I am now losing sleep because of it. Any Suggestions?
I just started feeding her all organic food. So I am hoping that will help. I give her a 1/4 of a cup of food at 630am. From the replies (that are all great) Im thinking that at dinner i should give her another 1/4 cup.
In response to the green beans… how does her digestion react to suddenly getting fed human food?
And do you think any of the crying has to do with suddenly being the only cat in the house… Do cats have enough memory to realize her other cat friend is not around?
Yes I am and have only ever fed her dry food. I thought that the wet food was more fattening.
She has not been to the vet in two years, should i schedule an appointment for her to get a check up?

something besides Frontline Plus and K9 Advantix
yes I understand that those are the best but my Vet only carries Frontline and it’s somewhere around for a 6 month treatment where I live

I am DEAD certain that my puppy has fleas. My boyfriend said he saw small black bugs on him after playing outside. He is always scratching or something. When we take him to the vet, the vet says she sees no fleas or flea dirt. I want to just give him something to be sure. I would hate the thought of fleas in my house.

I have a 5 and a half week old puppy, a 3 year old dog and a year old cat. The older dog and the cat get along OK but the cat wants to "play" with the puppy by attacking her. He grabs her and kicks with his back claws. We had his front claws taken out (He is strictly an indoor cat, I am allergic to his claws), but the vet refused to remove the back claws. I have been scolding the cat for playing with the puppy this way and the puppy even does her little growl at him. Does any one have any suggestions?
