My 12 year old male tabby is exhibiting behaviour that has my vet stumped. For the last few weeks he vomits once a day. The vomiting always occurs somewhere between midnight and 6 a.m. The vomit consists of a small amount of liquid that looks like the residue of the dry cat food he is fed. On...

Well, after almost 2 years of being diagnosed with CRF and hyper-t, my soon-to-be 18 year old Cory has to get sub-q fluids administered by me. I know you've all said it's no big deal after the first couple of times so I hope you are right. Tomorrow will be my first attempt. Cory has been acting...

My 10 year old cat was diagnosed with a tumor on his spinal cord today between his neck and between his shoulder blade affecting about 5 vertebrae he had a M.R.I. and a spinal tap. the spinal tap revealed the cancer had spread into the spinal cord and spinal fluid. My vet said there wasn't much...

Hi I have had my lovely tom cat from a kitten and he is now 3 years old. I have never owned a tom cat before and he is just so adoreable, but there is a behaviour that he does religiously every single morning and wondered why he does it. He sleeps in the house but late at night he always...

I'm wondering if anyone out there has figured out any good ways to track down missing cats? Here's my situation. My mother adopted two cats a few weeks ago. We think they are brothers although we don't know for sure. Their names are Fred and Barney. They are a year and a half old, male,...

I trully do not know if anything can be done at this point. Figured will throw it up there, see if someone had simmilar problem. The cat is 5 years old and extremely submissive. Its afraid of everything and anything and recently it started 'spilling outside'. The cycle goes: the cat gets scared I...

Hi, I'm lucky in the respect that my cat doesn't scratch the carpet. At the moment I've got a "twist pile" carpet but now fancy a "loop pile". I've heard that loop pile isn't a good idea if you've got a cat, but as he doesn't scratch at the moment will start if I get a loop pile as it would give...

I'd like to teach my two rather wimpy kittens to hunt, or at least to give them something entertaining and instructive to do. I want them to be more like my girlfriends' cats, that cool cat who killed bunnies and birds. I am considering the idea of buying several small rodents from the pet store...

hate to be the bearer of bad news. just visited a specialist today. was told in cats that have the habit of scratching furniture it is pretty much impossible to change. the only way to have a cat who wont scratch your funiture is to train as a kitten to scratch on post. once they are adult and...

I was just wondering...is there something special about the area just above the base of the tail? I remember that one of my grandmother's cats had a skin condition in that area, and my own cat seems rather sensitive in that area...if I touch or rub it, she starts licking (or nibbling) on my...

Why is it that cats think playing hide and go seek is fun or funny? Everyone is looking for you, calling your name, thinking you're hurt and you don't bother to reply or come out. Then you just suddenly show up like nothing happened. Very funny. Or how about waiting to go up the stairs until a...

Poor Persians. Bred for a feature which makes it hard for them to breathe and leaves them susceptible to upper respiratory infections. Purchased for their beauty and status as a "rich person's cat", but then neglected because they require so much work. We get yet another Persian in horrible...

Hi there, This question is about the same cat as before, in the "Cat in heat question" thread. This cat has kittens that are now 9 weeks old, they are at my house awaiting their spay appts. Beetle is at the shelter also waiting for her spay appt, and is apparently in heat. Beetle has been...

Hi every1, I was just wondering if anyone had any views on which type of litter (clay, wood, catsan, silica) is best to use. AND which kind of litter tray? Has anyone tried the 'self-cleaning ones'? I have one kitten (he is 10 weeks old). Any thoughts will be a great help

On 2005-01-14, Barb penned: Bought a little alarm through a catalog- I've seen these in a couple of catalogs- and it works! My two older cats never go on the glass top coffee table or the glass top table by the mirrored wall. They are allowed everyplace else. But the baby (2 years old)...

This cat behaved so unlike any other cat I ever had. For a start, it rarely ever meowed, instead, it cooed like a pigeon. It also had those thick horizontal long hairs in the ears, perhaps you can see them in the first pic. It was also extremely smart. It had a very strange personality, as if it...
