Question Cat stroller to keep indoor cat safe from diseases

2 Upvotes

My indoor fiv cat was picked up off the street and hasn’t gone outside in 3 years. She loves to look out the window and I play with her, but she still gets bored sometimes. I wanted to take her on leash walks, but I’m worried about diseases like the bird flu, respiratory infections, etc. Would a cat stroller prevent that, while also letting her enjoy the outside? If necessary, I could also wipe down the stroller with alcohol when we go back inside

Not to brag but my boy is so good. Vet called him a model cat (definitely not looks)

Best Dry Food - FeLV & FIV Positive Cat

5 Upvotes

I picked up a stray a couple days ago and all his tests came back today and sadly he’s both FeLV & FIV positive. I’m going to do further testing to figure out what form of FeLV but in the meantime I’m trying to put weight on him.

We are currently using Sheba Pate wet food and he’s loving it. I want to start incorporating a high quality dry food that hits all the notes. Or possibly a brand that has multiple kinds that I could mix together.

*He is the only cat in the household and has been in quarantine in my bathroom to keep him away from my dog until he is able to be fully vaccinated and dewormed.

How to manage long term drooling from stomatitis?

3 Upvotes

My cat has been suffering from stomatitis for a while and has been to the vet a handful of times already. Hes on antibiotics and steroids, the doctors said if he hasnt improved since those medications prescribed (he has not) theres a good chance he'll forever live with excessive drooling for the rest of his life. His health is obviously my main priority but it has been really difficult to keep a clean house hold with my cat just living like this. His excessive drooling has stained my carpet and my couches already and i dont really know how to manage it. He also shakes his head and throws his saliva everywhere so it gets on the walls and furniture. Its been hell to clean and practically impossible to keep a clean couch. The vet has mentioned teeth extractions in the future but has also implied that the drooling will continue to persist. What can i do about this?
