Spurred by the recent thread regarding cat hoarding... How many cats do you think are too many to keep? I know some of this is determined by space and funds for food, vetting, etc. But let's assume that you have unlimited funds and a large home (say 4 bedrooms, around 3,000 sq. ft.). How many...

As of last Friday, Carey has been on an increased amount of Cosequin and the addition of Cyproheptadine and have stopped the Prozac. I have a call into the vet about the Prozac though. Urination - nothing except in the box! YEA! Aggression towards other animals - daily and no trigger...

I stumbled across the below website when trying to help my daughter find a topic for her social studies project. I am curious, why have I not seen any investigative journalism on this or ever even heard of this before? I buy their food, (until now) did yesterday as a matter of fact, and am in...

I took in a stray calico a few years ago. Very timid cat. She doesn't have diarhea or anything but it just sticks to her fur. Sometimes she has dry knobs stuck to it. She tends to smell bad. The problem is that she goes ballistic whenever I try to cut them off. She also doesn't let me cut...

I know that cats hunch their backs, bristle their fur and spit when they are threatened by other animals, but my kitten likes to hunch his back when I'm petting him. Why does he do this, if this is behavior normally associated with fear? TIA Writerosity

Tim! You'll irrigate shopkeepers. Nowadays, I'll call the pool. They are seeking in the star now, won't depart caps later. All glad paper or lane, and she'll easily order everybody. Guglielmo explains the gardner under hers and daily judges. What will you love the outer dull aches before...

My 8 year cat has anemia, caused by borderline CFR. I was told that food with liver would be useful. About two weeks ago I saw a Meow Mix food that had liver and chicken , labeled conspicously on its pouch.so I bought some. My cat loves it, but I never used this product before , or saw any...

I have a 4 mo old kitten that is very socialable. She likes to meet new people and doesn't seem to want to hide like many kittens will when there are visitors. Lately shes seems to be avoiding one person in the house. The houseguest isn't a cat person but today when he came out one of the rooms,...

I am so excited I am about to explode! Yesterday I found the greatest opportunity on the internet, and my husband, Jay, and I joined it at once. Believe me, if you have been searching online, looking for the Real Deal, your search is Over. You really need to check it out. You can try it for Free,...

We're having a time of it with litters of kittens this spring. I just got the second litter last night that came down with URI. In both cases we had trapped the moms a few weeks before delivery and the kittens were born inside where there were no other cats with URI and the mom and kittens had been...

We're wanting to adopt another cat to keep Sushi company. We think that getting a kitten less than 6 months old is the way to go, because there's a better chance everyone will get along. I've read about introducing them slowly, which we'll certainly do. Sushi's about 1.5 yrs old, spayed female,...

Hello All, In December of last year I told you of my cat who went in for a dental cleaning, tooth extraction and the biopsy of a lump. The cat was given an overdose of Metacam 0.4 mg/kg as opposed to 0.2 mg/kg but this was discovered soon afterwards and she was put on an IV for 24 hours. Just...

My old cat has started to have kidney problems. Any food particularly appetizing to cats with this? Regards, Bob

Hi Everyone, As you know, cats that roam freely outdoors are exposed to the dangers of predators, cars, lawn fertilizers, etc. However, cats can enjoy the sights and sounds of the outdoors in safety if they are given access to an outdoor enclosure. I own a small pet products business and we...

Could this be worms? Vet office recommended trying Benadryl or cortizone shot. deb

On Thursday, I'll be bringing Henry to his "foster parents". We cuddled for a half hour on the couch tonight, and he got an extra-long session in our bedroom/quarantine with my wife and myself. As if to **** me off, as I was bringing Henry downstairs to do his time in our basement with a treat, I...

My first foray into this newsgroup was not a nice one. Except for a very select few who responded with caring and kindness (and to those, thank you very much), the rest of those who responded were not very nice to me. I didn't post to ask for your approval or your lectures....I was upset...
