Indoor cats:Quality of life (again) by
blair thompson
Wow! I think I started this thread...at least the most recent
incarnation of it a while back, on Sept. 2. I appreciate all the input
and suggestions.
Consensus was to get a pair of cats, and, if possible, have some sort
of screened enclosure so they could venture out, get fresh air, etc.
That's...

"how do I get away?" by
kelly andgary
I've had a cat for some four years now. Recently I introduced into our
home a 6 month old kitten.
As a given....he is full of energy and likes to play. The older feline
is game a lot of the time but there are times she is clearly annoyed and
becomes angry. Wanting no part of his youthful...

After 8 years, my feral is using the Skyway! by
John Doe[_2_]
The hard-core feral cat has been here for eight years. It has a loft in
another room that's connected to their Skyway. Stays there most of the
time. But when it exits to eat and use the box, it always takes the
shortest route to the floor. But over the last several weeks or so, perhaps
having...

Cat stopped eating by
TopCat
My kitty, a 3 year old spayed Maine coon mix is a full time indoor
cat, but in the last month or so I've been taking her for walks in the
yard in a harness. Occasionally during her walks she'll nibble on
grass and sometimes she'll throw up a few hours afterwards. She is
pretty long-haired,, so...

Phil P...I'm looking in your direction. :)
Jasper has basically slept ALL day. He did get up to use the cat box a
few times. The turkey meat that he hate...he barfed up. So it looks like
tomorrow we start the regimen of prednisone. We still have to give him
half of his dose of amoxicillin since he...

Should I be worried? by
Quincy's Pet
First of all, let me say that I am WAY too attached to my cat, Quincy.
He became sick 12/31/04, but I didn't know what was wrong with him.
Because it was a holiday, I didn't bother calling the vet. On 1/1/05,
I started noticing he was trying to use the litter box, but nothing was
happening. On...

Well, I've read many archive posts (about 200 there are about

seeeems to be working.

Best glucometer for cat? by
Amanda Robin
Hi everybody,
I've read some old threads about this, but with new glucometers always
on the market I thought I'd ask again.
My cat, Rusty, spent the night in the ER vet's because he went
extremely hypoglycemic yesterday (20). He's still in the regulation
stage and has been taking a rather large...

Litter box stuff by
John Doe
Still using Sterilite boxes for litter boxes. Using the kind with
clear and shiny smooth sides, apparently they never get dirty (or if
they do, they don't stay dirty). Also using Arm & Hammer Essentials
Natural cat litter. It doesn't clump very well, but it's light and
genuinely dust free.

Cats becoming more affectionate -- seasonal? by
Stan Brown
My cat Milo was a shelter cat -- about a year in his first home, six
weeks in the shelter (during which time he was neutered) and four
months so far with me. In both homes, he was the only cat and was
strictly indoors. His previous owner told the shelter he was very
affectionate, but I haven't...

cat has dandruff and oily fur at the same time?? by
Peg
Hello everyone - I have a cat with fairly long hair. I have to comb
her frequently to get the knots out of her fur, especially on her
back. I have had to take her to the vet to have her shaved twice, when
the fur became so matted I feared I was going to rip her skin right
off if I tried to comb...

random urination update by

Hi folks - a few weeks ago, I wrote for some help with Skipjack, who uses his
box but uses other places as well. His first visit to the vet showed no UTI.
Neither did a visit to a different vet. We tried to go to my preferred vet,
but she's an hour away. On the day we had the appointment, Skip...

Cat Luxating Patella: incision area by

Hi,
Our cat has had surgery for a knee injury and seems to be recovering
well (story below). Her incision area looks flush to the skin when
she's sitting but it bulges out a bit when she's standing. Is this
normal? should we be concerned about an infection? Our cat is not
currently taking any...

Litter Dust / Crystals / Love Bites by

It seems as if every time I change my kitten Charlie's litter, I
experience some major allergy symptoms centered solely in my eyes over
the next few days. I'm using Fresh Step Clay. Do you think it's an
allergy to their particular brand, or to clay litter in general? I
highly suspect that it...

at least know compassion?" (http://www.wildcatsanctuary.org/index.htm)
