I just got a new rescue kitten today. She has a yuck brown, shiny, hard, oval - thing - on her shoulder. It's about the size of a small pea but elongated. An engorged tick maybe?????????? If it's a tick should I try to remove it or should I just treat it with Frontline and hope it dies and falls...

I just lost my Cat, she was a siamese but looked more tonkanese to me, named Kiki. My mom bought her for me when I had just finished the first grade, so I was around 6 years old. I am now about to turn 28 and she has been with me the entire time, amazing when I reflect on it, she was around 21. She...

I really, really want to get a Dyson and I'm wondering if the expense is worth it. Right now, we have a cheap (~$150) Dirt Devil Breeze purchased a few years ago and it is just not cutting it. The house is a multi-level townhouse with old wall-to-wall carpet. The carpet will be replaced in about...

What did you do with the body or ashes? The reason I'm asking is I have a dog that's terminally ill and I want to prepare ahead of time so that I have a plan. She's still hanging on (and doing ok), but the vet expected her to pass months ago. I'm thinking about putting her in our back yard,...

I just noticed something strange on one of my cats. Along the top ridge of her mouth, on the outside, in the fur, but right next to her "lips" there are dozens of tiny black specs.. they look almost like blackheads. Any ideas of what they are, or if anything needs to be done?

While stary cats face certain dangers all the time, I am wondering if Halloween atmosphere increses those risks? I ask because I feed a stray cat that show up late afternoon and leaves in 1-2 hours. If Halloween evening would increase any risk to her, I could try to lure her into staying longer....

This has been an exciting day -- one where we went from an almost-certain death sentence for two little blind kittens to one where a promise has been made that they will not be euthanized. When I was first contacted, the person who called me said that both cats were to be euthanized the...

Hi Group, As many of you know, I have 11 indoor cats, well, 10 now. Old Buster (a beautiful tuxedo male) passed away last weekend. He went in for a checkup (he was 16) last Friday, since I noticed he was eating less and had diarrhea. His blood work was normal and his kidneys were functioning fine...

Hi, Ive have a kitten Daisy who is about 7 months old and is driving my wife and I crazy by destroying our curtains, and meowing at the early hours of the morning. It all started a few months ago when daisy who used to sleep on our bed with us decided to attack our new curtains in the bedroom. As...

My girlfriend had been asking me for a cat for sometime. After several weeks I finally went out to get one. I waited for hours till I saw a stray scratching on someone's door. I brought it home and my girlfriend loved it. Long story short - she is spending way too much time with this cat. We had...

Now they are back at $11.78 per 28 pound box. That's about $1.50 more than the local megastore where there are usually beat up or out of stock. Ordered another set of four. They have the 40 pound box for a penny less per pound. Arm & Hammer Super Scoop Clumping Litter, Unscented, 28-Pound,...

Hi, four months ago someone tossed some kittens into my yard. Although I already have two cats, I decided to keep these two kittens, as there is no way I could ever drop them off at the pound. At seven months of age I took them to have them spayed and neutered. The doctor told me they must have...

Our (approx.15-16) year old cat was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago with the above at the top of his right hind leg. (or around there) Vet said this is common in older cats. A vet partner more or less confirmed the diagnosis. 6 months ago it didn't appear OR the vet missed it. No biopsy was done...

There is a feral cat at the local waste disposal site that I use. I have been feeding it in the hope that I will be able to bring it home. Progress has been slow but steady until another person decided to feed it. He just dumps kibble on the ground 2lbs at a time. Needless to say the cat is no...

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...

Okay, I am going to start working on this pretty soon. I wondered if anyone had any ideas. We're going to make Tucker an enclosure and here is what we're thinking. some kind of wire mesh, the bottom buried underground and then fastened on both side of the *cage* with 2x4s. He will have a *ladder*...

I took house cat to the vet for a scratch on her neck that got infected. They gave her a shot of antibiotic. She's getting better but I wonder if I put some Triple antibiotic ointment on her neck and she licked it off, if it would hurt her? Any thoughts? When I clean her neck with hydrogen peroxide...
