2-year-old cat is slugging the new kitten by
Marilyn & Glenn Spence
I agree with Lynn K's response.
We started with 2 Maine Coons (Jasper & Jasmine) who came from the same
cattery and were about the same age. They got along great. A couple of
years later we added another Maine Coon kitten (Molly) and it took a month
or so for the hissing and swatting to subside....

Anastasia
My kitten is just over 4 months old. I got her just over a week ago - she
wasn't entirely healthy then - was still sneezing and coughing (from the
kennel flu), but on the way to recovery. She finally stopped sneezing and
coughing within the first few days being at home, and her eyes were clear
and...

Cathy Friedmann
As long as she's going outside, I'd personally have her get the FeLV
vaccine.

Curious about rabies by
Purplecat
Hi,
I was thinking about this last night. Yesterday I found and caught a
stray/feral kitten, which managed to give me a bite (mistaking my thumb for
food rather than out of fear/aggression!) This is not the first time I've
been bitten by a feral. Fortunately in Australia we don't have rabies,...

does the No-Scratch spray work? by
Governor George Liquor
Rizzo is doing a number on my TV speaker grilles with his claws. This is
despite having ready access to several scratching posts. I was able to
break Jack of the habit with the pennies-in-a-can bit, but Rizzo ignores it.
They somehow manage to pull off the double-sided tape I apply with...

Good food for dandruff???? by
Sherry
Hmmm, thanks MaryL but I really can't go to a canned food. My dog would
like it to much to resist, and it will bring ants in the house.
The good thing about canned food is, they usually go for it really well and eat
it right away,esp. if you only give them a half portion or so. There won't...

The problem with Arthur...... by
Steve
Hi
Our cat, yes he's white, has recently started to paw his eyebrow area.
He makes his face quite red and can cause bleeding.
We've had him in a 'lampshade' for a week to stop him and the problem
cleared. However, we've just took the collar off and he's done it again!
Why?
How can we stop him...

Nipsy is part Maine Coon? by
dgk
I was describing my new cat Nipsy to friends at the beach yesterday
and one said that he sounds like Maine Coon. Definite tufts of hair
coming out the bottom of the feat, tufts of hair on his face that make
him look somewhat lynxish. Most of those were removed by constant play
with his former buddy...

I will never buy a "bred" cat. I like the kittens that cats have in
my barn every year.
No kidding. That cute little noise they make as you flip them on the grill
is priceless.

Jean
I'm certainly no expert and am reading and asking alot of questions.
Seems like the jury is still out on the carb question diabetes, as
well as on the protein/phos question, kidneys. I've run across an
awful lot of conflicting information - all from some kind of expert or
another.

Falling asleep by

Does anyone else have cats whose head drops when they fall asleep?
I was thinking about things my cats do that make us laugh.
In the evening they like to sit with us when we watch TV. Now like most cats
they sleep a lot but remain alert. However there are times when they fall

Considering Radio Iodine Treatment by
L
I'm about 90% sure this is the way I want to go. My cat was diagnosed
with hyperthyroidism about 3 weeks ago. He has been on Tapazole 2x a
day since then. He hates being pilled, it takes 3 or 4 tries to get
him to take the pill each time. His activity level has gone down
drastically, his toy mouse...

I thought you might like this story from a TV/Book writer who posts on another
board.
I recently lost a cat that I'm still very sad about. It is good to hear these
kinds of stories.
