We have a cat who just loves to throw up hairballs continuously. We’ve tried special cat food, cat medicine, and even special brushing, but nothing’s worked and we’re running out of ideas. Got any suggestions?

Just got a 10-12 week old kitten. She was a barn cat, I’ve put her in the litter box, but she just wants to jump out. I have a rabbit and when I opened her cage, the kitten went to the bathroom in the cage. I’m not going to leave the door open, and I put some cedar chips in the litter box, just because she smelled it. She has worms so I’ve given her medicine. I don’t want runny crap all over the place. She’s a sweet kitten, but I can’t have it using the bathroom all over my house. And, I am keeping her inside, no options on that one. Any help would be great.

We have a flea infestation in our house, which really sucks. But here’s the thing, we know it came from the kitten. Things were fine at first but now it’s a problem. So how the hell does a kitten get fleas when she never ventures outside? We didn’t have this problem before and I believe the Animal Shelter put flea medicine on them before you adopting them right?
We’ve had him for about a month. And the problem manifested about 2.5 weeks ago.

My friends cat is a girl and I know urinary tract infections are common in boy cats. She keeps taking the cat to the vet probably about once a month. The cat is on some kind of medicine thats not working. I was wondering if there could be an underlying cause to be cause the UTI’s.
I also know that she is on a special diet kitty food but I don’t know about her drinking habits.

One of the six kittens that were born seems to be having a problem. I think both her eyes used to be open and now one of them are closed with this yellow ”puss” stuff around it. Only a little bit though. (sorry if that sounds weird) I tried to wipe it away but it only seems to be helping a little…What do i need to do?
or maybe its just opening for the first time……i cant remember…….To many kittens @_@
Can anyone tell me the EXACT MEDICINE to get?
tejas_yuki- i did not say wanted to spay ”my cat” So thanks i guess for the advice but im not going to spay her. Yes i know there are alot of homeless kittens/cats in this world but im not spaying this one.
