Hi, I'm Dr. Neely and I've been an exclusively feline veterinarian for 18 years. From the time I was born, I was around kitties and can't remember ever not loving them. I've lived with feline friends all my life. At one time, I had 14! Now I have six. I attended veterinary school just to become a Cat Doctor and since the moment I graduated, I have only seen cat patients. Needless to say, I have come to know a great deal about our little domesticated felines.

My reason for having a website has always been to be able to reach more owners than I do just from my private practice. The internet is a wonderful method of helping others around the world in all sorts of ways. My dream is to help the cat no matter where he/she is and share my vast experience and education with the many of you that love and live with them.

My free question and answer column, free monthly newsletter, various articles, reports, and ebooks will provide you with tons of information about the cat. I have information for you about medical problems, diseases, behavioral problems, surgery, and much more. I'm happy to answer your questions about anything related to cats.

One of my most important goals is to provide lots of information about preventative care so I can help you keep your favorite feline healthy and free from disease for as many years as possible.

Of course I'm serious when the situation calls for it. However, I also enjoy cat jokes, funny cat pictures, cat trivia, interpreting (and sometimes laughing at)feline body language, and funny cat videos. I'll include some of these things as well as the more serious medical content.

My favorite hobby is photography, and my favorite subjects are ...well, cats, of course. Doesn't everyone like looking at pictures of cats? Those of us who are true feline fanatics especially like to admire and laugh at our own cat's funny photos. I hope you will send me some of your own cat's pictures to display on the website so I can share them with other cat lovers all around the world.

LOL cats are welcome here too and if you don't know what that means, you'll enjoy finding out and creating some of your own.

As the number of felines in households throughout the country has increased so has the flood of products available to pet owners. From food to urine cleaning products and from cat health insurance to cat lovers' gifts, I review products through the eyes of a veterinarian and cat lover. The only products I will review here are the ones I truly believe in and recommend and would use myself. Unless, of course, I learn about something that poses a true danger to the health of kitties, and then, of course, I'll let you know.

I have created some special sections that I know you will enjoy. The Cat Doctor's Blog allows me to share my thoughts, when time allows, on such things as kitty current events to funny experiences with cats or their fanatical feline owners( I can say that because I'm one myself!!)

I'll also give you a special hint: the blog is the best place to visit to see a listing of the 50 most recent additions to the website, including new articles and questions and answers. If you're trying to find out if your recently submitted question has been answered yet, check the listings in the blog.

Another special section that I know you will really enjoy is Cat Case Presentations. This section will feature real cases I have treated in my practice from the initial symptoms, history, and exam to the diagnostic tests and treatments. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at a real cat veterinary practice. I know you'll find it both interesting and informative.

In short, you'll find just about anything you could want here at Ask The Cat Doctor. Fresh content is added daily so there’s always a reason for you to come back and visit. And what I don't have yet, I probably have plans to add in the near future! However, I'd love to also hear from you regarding what you'd like to see on this website! Just let me know!

Thank you for visiting and come back often!

Dr. Neely
