As much as we all love our cats, it must be admitted that in bad economic times one cannot live on carbohydrates alone. Cats are an excellent source of protein and I am wondering if, in an extreme situation, it became necessary to consume one's cat, what recipes would be most suitable? Ideas for...

Both boys, while still sneezing just a bit, are outrageously healthy and have almost doubled their weight and size in the last three weeks - and they *should* have, they eat like any teen-aged boy does!!! -- Hugs, CatNipped

No wonder Lenovo computers don't sell well. 512M of ram on a dual- core machine? Yeah, but you gotta feel for Lenovo....after all, they did inherit all of the mess IBM left them with - poor management, alllllll those 256M chips, all those skimpy, shoddy hard drives....... No wonder their...

I'm a warlock and they say that a magic-user does need a cat to be truly powerful. So, do cats have magical powers? Do they enhance your mana? Can cats cast spells?

I have a prescription from my vet for Renal Diet food for Rusty. He gets funny about food off and on and stops eating what he used to like and wants something different. So, I got the prescription so that I could go to other vet's offices and get renal diet food when I want to just buy a can or...

Tahnee who is due to be spayed on Friday,( the queen that adopted our baby Birman kittens) & also the second rescue...

I've had my two cats for almost 8 years now, and I am wondering, are hairballs just a part of life as a cat? I realize the amount of hair they take in when cleaning themselves, but does anyone have any recommendations for controlling it? I thought of this because I recently went on a cruise and...

I posted awhile back about my cat being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I got her back yesterday after she had the radio-iodine treatment at the University of Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. I had to take her to Madison (2 1/2 hour drive) last Wednesday for the tests and then bring...

OK, I give up. I'm getting sick and tired of vacuuming up cat litter that spills onto the floor or gets dragged there on their little feet. Is there ANYTHING out there that will not track as much????????

Hi to all! I've had my cat for going on 15 years. He's my buddy and I think the world of him, but when he uses his litter box; 3 out of 5 times he will drop feces either right at my bathroom door or in front of the box. I'd say that this has been happening for about three years. One time I had...

This is somewhat off-topic, but I thought it was appropriate because many of us are sending e-greetings at this time of year. Be careful when opening electronic greetings. Here is part of a report that I read on CNN, which warns of a new virus. You need to watch for e-greetings with the...

I have a three year old cat, lives indoors and out, He will only eat dry food but lately has been vomiting it back up, undigested. This past day he vomited a large amount and since that time he has been listless and appears to be ill. He spills his water dish and then hangs his head over the...

Help! We have a 2 year old Russian Blue that has decided she no longer needs to use a litter box. We have had her since May, purchased from a cattery in NC, and also have an older cat in the house. The new cat used the box for a while, several months in fact, and we used Feliway for a while...

A neighbor moved and left me their cat, she's 10 years old and is normal size domestic short hair. I had a cat when I was growing up, but don't remember how much we fed it. I was told that the Wellness brand is very good, it certainly smells better than the supermarket brands! I feed her one can...

We recently had a longhair cat adopt us and I would like to brush her, but the brush I use for other other guys, a short hair and medium hair, doesn't do a very good job on her. It just slides along the surface of her fur without really brushing her. What kind of brush should I get? One with fewer...

I was wondering why the cat wasn't burying her waste. This morning I saw what was happening. After she goes, she makes all the motions of burying, but she does it on the rim of the litterbox. She sat there for five minutes trying to "bury" her waste by clawing, scooping, and scratching the...

I have two cats and they both "trill". I use the word trill to describe that sound they make before a full meow. One of my cats trills all the time...every time I touch him and also he trills while he walks around the house. I'm wondering about this trilling because I've had other cats over the...

Well, I have had Jake for over two months now, and him and Elwood seem to get along okay most of the time. However, once in a while, Jake turns into a super-jerk! Elwood will just be laying there, minding his own business, and Jake decides he doesn't like the way Elwood is fur is looking, or...
