How can I stop my cat from hissing at me?

Friday, November 9th, 2012

I have a 5 years old, long-haired orange cat.  I have to comb him every day to prevent mats in his fur.  I give him treats all the time while combing him.  I give him about 5 treats before I comb his tail even at this time he always hisses at me.  He growls constantly while I comb him.  Why does he get so mad?  How can I get him to enjoy it?

Also, whenever I try to hold him he always gets really mad and sometimes end up hissing. Help!

My cat has dry, itchy skin that flakes.

Saturday, November 3rd, 2012

She’s had tight, dry skin for some time, but now that it’s winter and the flakes are pretty evident in her fur. I’m wondering if there’s anything I can give her that can take away the dryness. The air gets REALLY dry here in the winters, due to the kind of climate I live in. Any tips?

Tenactin on Cats

Sunday, October 28th, 2012

Is it really okay to put Tenactin on a cat knowing she’ll lick it off or is an e-collar a must? A vet recommended this for her ringworm in place of sulfur dips, but I don’t want to permanently e-collar her until it clears up. Help!

Feline Leukemia

Sunday, October 21st, 2012

Yesterday one of my cats died of feline leukemia. Now that I know the signs I think my other 2 cats have the deadly disease. It is in the beginning stages for both of them, but so far they are only loosing their teeth. We have been buying them soft cat food to help them eat. Is it to late to save them? Will a vaccine still work for them?  Thanks.
