Cat Sickness

Plastic Feeding Bowl Can Make your Cat Sick

What do you use as a feeding bowl for your cat? A normal feeding bowl from the pet shop? Or some cheap container you were going to discard? How important did you think were food bowls and water bowls to your cat? Apparently, many people feel that cats can eat and drink out of anything, and though it may be true, a domesticated cat may have a different view compared to a stray.

Bowls you use for your cat's water and food should at least be acceptable to your cat, or otherwise, it would not want to eat or drink there. The bowls you use should not scratch easily as bacteria can be stuck in the gashes caused by the scratches and make your cat sick after feeding. Cheap feeding bowls usually scratch easily, so find your pet cat something of more quality.

Instead of plastic, which may scratch or crack, invest in a stainless steel or high impact plastic feeding bowl. You can even match these bowls to your home interior, and these feeding bowls usually come in various shapes, colors, and sizes, to you and your cat's preferences. Don't limit yourself to pet shops; shop online or at specialization stores which allow you to custom make products. If you are less picky and prefer plain products, a common stainless steel dish will suit your cats' needs.

As aforementioned, avoid plastic dishes by all means. They scratch easily, and attract bacteria that can spread diseases to your pets. Not only that, the scratches can even hurt your pet while it feed in the bowl, causing sores or lesions on its face. Therefore, if you notice that your cat is getting frequent cuts on its lips or face, and even chin, look out for a better feeding bowl.

The most basic aspect of feeding bowls that is usually neglected: clean dishes. Old food stuck in feeding dishes can attract bacteria as well, and of course as a responsible pet owner you would never allow your cat to eat bad, rotten food, would you? Keep your cat's bowl clean and your cat will not reject its food, and will eat according to time. As cats have a keen sense of smell, it will sometimes avoid the feeding bowl and will not eat if the bowl is unclean.

Cat + sickness?
My 9 month old kitten isn't well at the moment, she was perfectly fine until last night she was sick in the garden. She wouldn't even move to come in the back door, so I had to lift her. She went straight into her nights sleep. When I checked her litter tray it was full of diarrhea. This morning when I checked on her, she just wasn't herself at all, not drinking or eating, not wanting to move she slept all day and was not full of life. I took her to the vet a few hours ago, she gave her medicines and said she had a temp, sore abdomen and was dehydrated. The vet thought that she could have licked bird poo and this caused her sickness but she wasn't totally sure. So I guess I am trying to ask, has any other cat owners experienced this sickness with your cat/kitten? Thanks Sorry I don't think you can read too well, in the paragraph I mention that I took her to the VET about two hours ago :)

Cat Sickness Help!?
Hi, I have six outside cats. Many are very healthy. But I have a few that always seem sick. They first start out by sneezing, then it develops into matted eyelids which sometimes close shut and wheezing I also see signs of nasal discharge. Some of my cats seem to get the illness and then it goes away while others get it and cant seem to shake it. Every once in awhile they will even get thick mouth secreations and once I even had a cat die. I took one to the vet and the vet believed that it had an upper respiratory infection but in the end the cat died anyway. Does this sound like any sickness anyones heard of and is there a way to treat it.
