2011-02-21	Juana	How to trap a	10	10	10	Yes	Thank you so much Jessica I will try my best. I have gotten mama cat to eat out of my hand so do I know some where she does want to trust me. Earlier I managed to save one of her kittens before it turned and she has since become a lap cat, she's very sweet. So I feel good about saving a life. Peace Juana
2011-02-21	Juana	How to trap a	10	10	10	Yes	I had a feeling this was not going to be a piece of cake. I appreciate your suggestions anyway. I am using a humane trap which I purchased just for these kitties. I do have a little rapport with them maybe it will work out all right. Thank you Juana
2011-02-12	Moe	Massive blood in urine	10	10	10	No	Thank you so much for your detailed response. Unfortunately Church was so weak by the morning that she went into shock and her vet said it was best to put her down. She was in so much pain and the vet said it was cancer and had spread to her brain. I'm struggling to deal with her passing. It all happened so fast I am filled with guilt. I miss her so much and I wish that I could have saved her but she went downhill at rocket speed. She was amazing and like no other.
2011-02-11	Ida	lameness following abscess.	10	10	10	Yes	Thank you so much Jessica, for taking the time to reply in such depth. I think I see a slight improvement today and he seems to be getting about with less difficulty. The vet did suggest the vitamin B injection which you mention, which pleases me I couldn´t see how vitamins would help so I didn´t take the cat back to have it, but thank you for explaining why it may indeed help, and I shall definately try it out and mention the steriods to follow up should they be necessary.

2011-01-30	Charles	people influencing/contributing to bad	10	10	10	Yes	Extremely fast response time makes for awonderful first time experience with the "AllExperts" website. Thank you so much!! I may be in contact again regarding this matter and possibly regarding different/new cat matters, (or fot something all together different). The expert that handled my question did a terrific job and "AllExperts", (in general), seems provides a fantastic service and I highly recommend it to anyone for any reason. Thank you so much!!! Mahalo and Aloha.

2011-01-26	Liz	Royal Canin Urinary SO	10	10	10	Yes	Thank you to Jessica for a clear, concise quick response.
2011-01-25	Leila	Adult cat has lost	10	10	10	Yes	Thank you very much for the knowledgeable and thoughtful response. We will certainly try to get him to take some Nutri-Cal and get him checked out by a vet.
2011-01-24	Ina	Old cat	10	10	10	Yes	Dear Jessica, Thank you very much for your kind answer. As you said it might happened, he is a little bit better (probably using his 7 life:). He starts eating and walking but very hard and slowly. Now I am confused, because he wants to eat and purrs when I pet him. I will wait for for few days to see how hs is doing. It is very sad to look at him so fragile, walking hard and can't see,especialy knowing that he is very old and cant be much better, but It is also hard for me to put him assleap now when he stars eating and purring when I pet him:( Best regards, Irina
2011-01-22	Mary	How to Care for	10	10	10	Yes	Thank you Jessica. You were very helpful and I appreciate your assistance. Thank you for the tip about using Raptor gloves -- we will give it a try. Take care, Mary.
2011-01-21	Belenda	cat insommia	10	10	10	Yes	Thank you so much Jessica. My vet just passed it off as age. I will pursue your advice with someone else. Again thank you for your time and helpfulness.
2011-01-19	Nick	urination out of litter	10	10	10	Yes	thank you very much! We tried the feliway already and seemed to work somewhat, but was very, very expensive to continue; hopefully the cat attract will work and we will get some vertical space for them. Thanks Jessica!...Nick
2011-01-19	Carol	Hair pulling	9	10	10	Yes	Thanks for the help! I'll run out tomorrow and buy the safe dewormer and a larger supply of kitten food. she seems to prefer wet food so she has plenty of that with a bit of added water. Apparently both the closet and the bos are not satisfactory, she has taken up residence in my bathtub (I plugged the drain in case lol) It is nice to get a simple, easy to understand, direct answer after so many different opinions and advise from the multiple sources I've contacted. Still don't know what Im doing but I feel a bit more confident than I did b4!
2011-01-18	amanda	15 year old male	10	10	10	Yes	thank you again for another great answer
2011-01-12	Nolajac	sudden cat death	7	9	10	Yes	Jessica, Thank you so very much for your time and consideration. You have helped to ease the pain. I felt so responsible. In a way I was but I take your point that I wasn't to know ( the severity). If only I had taken more notice of his increased appetitie and prominent spine... I did love him dearly though perhaps did not always have patience with him .. he tended to dawdle and meander in front of me when I'd be in a hurry..... Its only when you lose a life ,a friends life that you fathom how precious it actually is. Many blessings to you!
2011-01-10	amanda	15 year old male	10	10	10	Yes	wow, thank you so much. your answer was very helpful and gave much detail.
2011-01-08	Amber	Need help trapping a	10	10	10	No	Thanks so much. We haven't tried inching the food in -- we'll give that a shot!
2011-01-05	lynn	pregnant?	10	10	10	Yes
2010-12-30	Adam	Spayed cat in heat	10	10	10	Yes
2010-12-28	fernand	Cat is making choking	10	10	10	Yes	Jessica, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! I did take him to the vet today because I couldn't take seeing him in pain anymore and not eating. You were right, he has to get a dental cleaning and if they find further problems, he might need to have a tooth taken out. After we got home today, although I can tell it still hurt him, he did eat a little and stop on and off from the pain, poor guy :( but tomorrow is the day and he'll recover soon :) thank you again! you are the best!
2010-12-27	Sam	gagging cat	10	10	10	No	Thank you for your reply and advice. I took him to the vets today. It was the emergency vets because it is bank holiday, but was worth it. They said they don't think he has a blockage, but they have given him an anti inflamatry and antibiotic to see how he goes and we can take him back wednesday if we need to. Thank you again

2010-12-21	carolin	our semi-feral cat	10	10	10	Yes	Wonderful response - It is obvious that you truly are a real expert. Thank you so much, I wish I could go get Katie now and have her home for Xmas, but she is 3 hours away and the weather is very bad. I will go right after though when I have a good day for travel.. Thank you again. Caroline Fielder

2010-12-19	Kathy	Aggressive Stray attacked Indoor	10	10	10	No	Dear Jessica, I want to thank you for giving me hope! I wrote regarding the stray I just had neutered 2 weeks ago who attacked one of the house cats as if he were prey. I never intended to have 3 cats, but I know cats have a way of finding their way into one's life. I will be relocating soon and the stray kitty will be coming with me. I have lots of patience. Thank you again--A great Christmas present from you to me--HOPE. Be well and good cheer to you, Kathy

2010-12-13	Josie-L	lily's	10	10	10	Yes	Thank you so much Jessica, I really apperciate your help. Even with it being ten days my other two little ones have still not adjusted and neither have I. your help brings comfort, trust me any answers help right now my vet told me it could have been a heart attack related to the high amount of pollen but unfortunately we will never know. Again thank you so much!!!!

Expertise

The areas in which I have gained the most experience are cat health and feral cat management/rescue. I provide supportive care to chronically ill cats, hospice care to terminally ill cats and also am involved in trap-neuter-return efforts. My specialities lie in taming feral cats and in the allopathic treatment of cats with illnesses or special needs. I also have owned Siamese, Himalayans, Abyssinians, Russian Blues, Savannahs, Bengals, Peterbalds, Don Sphynx and Oriental Shorthairs and am well-versed in cat breeds as well as cat behavior and nutrition.

Experience

I have 15 years of extensive experience with cats ranging from breeding to medical care. My daily routine consists of caring for cats with diabetes, thyroid disease, kidney failure, feline leukemia, feline AIDS as well as feral cats. I have experience with liver patients, heart patients, feline infectious peritonitis, cancer, recovery from amputation and trauma, congenital deformities and most every disease in between. I have assisted cats giving birth and hand-nursed kittens who were neglected by their mother from 2 days old through weaning.
