I know it is not the most refined question you are likely to face today, but I would like to ask the more experienced crowd he How do you treat a cat when she throws up? It has got to be uncomfortable and disagreeable moment for them. The cat I feed tries to run away from the spot when this...

Hi. I have a cat whose diabetes was until recently manageable through diet. He started to lose weight so I took him to see the veterinarian. She told me that his blood sugar was high enough that dietary intervention alone wasn't going to be good enough - that he'd require insulin. I left my...

Halloween Safety Tip for Cats Cursed with the reputation of being witches' helpers, reincarnated evil spirits and bringing bad luck, the black cat has become symbolic of Halloween, making this one of the most dangerous times of the year for the feline. Each Halloween a small number of black...

His dermatologist appointment was today. This vet is very very thorough in both her examination and taking his history by asking questions. Based on his history plus what she saw, she didn't believe it to be caused by a bacterial skin infection, which is common, but he does have a secondary...

From: Laura R. I neither particularly like nor desire children, which means that I am very fortunate not to have them. There is absolutely nothing about your life that will ever inspire envy in me, you bitter, sagging frump. People w/o children usually respond to other people in the manner...

I hadn't paid attention to the band since "Creep" but some folks at the office insisted they were some transcendent force in music so I picked up some of the later CDs. It sounds exactly like Pink Floyd. What is the big deal?

Bought another diffuser and put it downstairs near the prime spot he's been marking. Did another big clean-up, though I'm worried that stuff has seeped down past the flooring into the floorboards. Using an enzymatic cleaner, but the animalark website suggests a cleaner called "Force". Perhaps we'll...

Did I make that ^^^ clear enough that this was off topic so that people won't be forced to read it if they don't want to??? ; Also, note - THIS IS NOT A COMMENTARY BY ME JUST SOMETHING I FOUND AMUSING! There, did I cover all bases? ...

Ozzy is still doing good with the chickens. When they all run at him at once he gets a little nervous. Now I have to break in 2 other cats and a dog.. what a lot of work this is. Sorry I havent been around, My computer was took over by spyware and adware and really got messed up. Take care, Judy

I live in an apartment building and already have a (100% indoor) cat. We are allowed only one pet in a unit here. Recently I saw a very friendly stray outside and gave her some food. Now she shows up at my door. It is also obvious that she is very pregnant. (She is so friendly that I know she...

Ok.... We got left this nice little outdoor black and white by a tenant in our basement that disappeared. She was quite pregnant it would seem as she had kittens shortly after. This was in April of this year. She hadn't even finished weaning that batch and was obviously pregnant again.

Background: We have two cats, both female. We have two, covered litter boxes. The boxes are side by side and both use by both cats. We clean the litter daily and replace it every couple weeks. We use premium, clumping litter (fresh step). We have two problems: 1. The litter gets tracked...

I just applied "Soft Paws" to 2 of my 3 cats for the 1st time today. I was amazingly easy to do (with a little help from my wife). I was surprised at how quickly they adjusted tot hem. They did not lick or bite at them and have been going about their normal business for several hours now. Good...

HELP! I have called every source (spca/animal welfare groups/pet shops) imaginable trying to find a home for my 18 year old cat Willi. We are moving into a house that just is not set up for his regular incontenance near the scratch box and hair balls. The ole boy is still in pretty good shape...

I want to order some Feliway spray to use on my cat carrier. Who has the best price? Dr.Foster/Smith has a good price but the shipping cost is excessive. -MIKE

It's not just my other cat Elwood either! I brought Jake with me over to the parents for Father's day. Well the parents have 3 dogs, and Jake knocked the snot out of all of them!! They tried to give him guff, but he gave them a might growl, and boxed them into next week. He was even chasing them...

Good News! Do you know how simple it is to go to Heaven after this life has ended? Some people believe that belonging to a local church, temple, mosque or synagogue will get them to Heaven.

Two of four Camrose teens accused of microwaving a cat to death begged their ring leader to stop the torture but he refused - cooking the cat to a crisp before scrawling "You HAD a nice cat" on a wall of the house, one of the four youths claimed to Sun Media yesterday. "(One of us) found the cat...

I have two adopted cats and both were outdoor cats in the past with previous owners. Both of my cats look longingly out the windows and try to escape anytime the door opens even for a second. One of my cats seems "depressed". He sleeps all day and never moves from under a chair. However, the...
