I really want to get one of these for my cats! I would imagine if someone was handy, they could make one, as they are pretty expensive: http://www.bengal.us/gymcats.html Click on Wheels in Motion on this page: http://www.fitnesswheel.com/

My two year old kitty recently had a urination problem. After exam and medication Vet said give her more wet food because that increases her moisture intake. Problem is she only really likes the gravy from inexpensive brands like Friskies and 9-Lives. I want to give her something better since...

Has anyone had a similar experience? We have three kittens all about six months. They're orphaned sisters we fostered and then adopted. Yesterday they were spayed and came home pretty miserable. This morning it's the same behavior and we're worried. They're normally very affectionate with each...

I would not say I am worried, but just wondering how long this might go on and how I might coax new cat Destiny out of hiding: Picked my new 1 1/2 year cat up yeterday from the cat room at the Humane Society where she seemed fond enough of my petting. Took her for a vet exam and shots on the way...

My cat sleeps in the bed with me. He likes to sleep on top of the blanket leaning on my side - this stops me from rolling over on him..But it also stops me from rolling over when I want to. He switches from side to side, there is no pattern to it. Why does he sleep in the bed, does he like the...

I read your story, I like it :) Cute and written with much feeling, lol I could almost see the bite marks on the handles. I'm reading the rest now :) You Sammy seems alot like my Squirrel who is a handful but is already 3. lol look what you have to look forward too.

My male cat "Kitty" is very gentle. The feral female "Kiki" has been here for four years and two months, and is still untouchable and still hisses at me from time to time. As shown on my picture page, they have a Skyway that allows them to hang out above the crowd. They love it. A week ago, I...

Hi: About two months ago I got a "free-to-a-good-home" four-year-old tabby cat. Ever since it arrived, it sits on a shelf in the basement and except for nocternal eating rarely comes out. It has been getting friendlier, craves attention, but does give me a fairly vicious bite occassionally when...

Hi all! A friend of mine has a cat with a broken front leg. Cookies has been in a cast for a few weeks, but the vet just checked her out again and the leg isn't getting better. The vet says the problem is that Cookies is still running and jumping around and putting weight on the foot. The vet...

I went to buy the Marinated Chicken or Tuna Feast in Savory Juices, as Phil had pointed out, they are low in phosphorus. And low in kilocalories, I might add. BUT, it's now Marinated Morsels Chicken Feast in Gravy, grrrr. New Bite Size! Whoppee. Web site, click here for more info. Get a bigger...

Hi all. The life story of our cat is relevant regarding what's happening to her now, so I'll start at the beginning. We got her from an SPCA organization (not spca but similar) at the age of 12 weeks. The most adorable kitten, still especially beautiful, but she showed behaviour problems from...

Hi! I have never posted before. My beloved 14 year old cat went suddenly blind during what appeared to be an acute episode of pancreatitis. He is already on attenolol for a very mild heart murmur he developed after hyperthyroidism began (successfully treated with surgery). He does NOT have...

I have two cats right now, one just about a year old and the other maybe one and a half. Both fixed males. A friend is worried about a very cute cat named Puff that was thrown out of his home by a neighbor. Puff was having trouble locating the litterbox. My understanding is that the neighbors had...

Last night at about 2:30 AM my husband woke me up to tell me our cat Simon had possibly swallowed a sewing needle and thread. Sure enough, after an emergency x-ray, the vet found it in Simon's intestine. The surgery went well, the needle hadn't penetrated anything so that was good. The...

So we took her to the vet. The oldest of our girls. Made mention of her in a previous post, entitled "silly kitty". For starters, keep in mind she's always been a small and slightly frail cat. The doctor confirmed dental trouble in the way of some gum disease to an extent of something awful,...

Our 12-year-old cat developed diabetes suddenly. He's now on Glipizide. How critical is the dosage size? This cat's behavior now is not anywhere near his original kittenish feistiness. -- Charles Packer http://cpacker.org/whatnews mailboxATcpacker.org

My 11 year old cat was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and is in her 3rd week of taking methimazole twice a day. She had been doing well, but this past week she has begun vomitting everytime she eats no matter what kind of food I try, even in small amounts. Although vomiting is lisited on...
