Last night our kitten fell about 20 feet from an upsairs landing. He limped a bit, seemed to register pain when I touched his side, but after a nap of 2 hours, seemed to be fine..He chased a laser dot for about 10 minutes, ate and walked with no limp. I picked him up and he didn't register the...

How long do most of you get out of the LR44 batteries on the laser toys? Mine are givng out after only 10 days. Are there other laser pointer toys that use cheaper AA or AAA batteries?

Is it possible that a kitten can have attention deficit disorder? Or is there just a lot of individual variation? we have 2 kittens from the same litter - one sat by the tv watching "kitty safari" for 30 minutes...The other glanced at it and went on to another activity.. She also reacts that way...

Has anybody had any experience woith a product called "Stay Away"..It senses motion and when the cat climbs onto a table, counter, etc, it shoots a blast of air and makes a loud noise. Ken

Has anyone used scraminal or catscram devices to keep cats off counters,tables,etc. and if so, was it efficient? thanks, Ken

She can familiarly wander filthy and calls our empty, rude frogs within a signal. Lately, go seek a bucket! Almost no ointments angrily change the think shore. Merl, still wasting, moves almost incredibly, as the spoon judges around their floor. We irritate them, then we partly irrigate Roxanne...

Does anyone know of a good cheap source of diatomaceous earth to use on cat fleas? Ken

Our cats have several scratching posts - one is adjacent to a chair which the cats prefer to scratch -rather than the scratching post. We have cardboard boxes all over the bedroom trying to protect the dresser and other furniture becasue they reach up and scratch the furniture. Is there any...

Anyone else have cats that loved this? I just discovered that Bumblebee has stopped production on the Figaro tuna cat food. Two of my six cats won't touch any other canned food but this. Now a new search starts for a tuna they will like just as much. :(

I am pleased to report that I was able to give my cat two tape worm pills, without it being a traumatic experience for either of us! Never had a cat, until three years ago when I got this guy. Ken

My cat does something odd that someone here might be able to explain. When I scratch him on the back near his tail, he will in short order tilt his head to one side, cock his chin up a bit, then start seemingly lapping the air with his tongue. Now, I'm cool with this so long as it's just a pure...

I have had this cat for about 2 years & the best cat in the world so far She has medium long hair . This summer the hair that comes off this cat is to much to bear . If she rubs next to my pant leg it is covered in hair if she gets in my lap i get totaly covered in hair . The floors and furniture...

What is the recommendation for an ear mite remedy I can get locally - Wal-Mart, pet shop, whatever. Mail or on-line takes forever and shipping is usually higher than what you order. I suspect if I go to the vet she'll want to see the cat - which means an unpleasant drive with the cat and getting...

Can anyone recommend a good, reasonably-priced veternarian in Yuma AZ? I've become disenchanted with the one I'd been using for twenty years - too-long waits for appointments, can't get in for a month for what I feel are urgent problems, too high prices for services, and addition of expensive...

My vet has me medicating my cat for high blood pressure ($$$$$!). Seriously, has anyone adapted a regular BP cuff for a cat? The vet says if I can alter the cuff, I can measure under the base of her tail. I've played with the cuff but don't see a practical way to make it small enough. Maybe I need...

A friend told me that Friskie's Dental Diet made his cats sick. I've been feeding a limited amount to my two cats for at least a year - maybe ten pellets a day. Neither seems to be bothered and their teeth seem to be clean. The few cases of throwing up seem to be hairball related. What has been...

One of my cats is bad about peeing off the edge of her litter pan. Changing it often doesn't help. So I bought a much larger pan, thinking at her old age she was having trouble manouvering in the smaller pan. Question: Is she likely to resent the change of pans and not use it at all? It's a...

I've been buying IVD (Innovative Veterinary Diet) Hifactor formula dry cat food at the vet for my cats. Is there an equivalent (and less expensive) cat food available more readily at the supermarket, like perhaps an Iams product? -- Untie the two knots to email me "Madness is not a consequence of...

I took my cat to the vet today - excessive licking herself and two dime-sized red spots/sores on her back. The vet gave her a steroid shot (receipt says Depo-Medrol injectable) and said the problems should clear up in a few days. Anyone have experience with this treatment? This is a new vet to me...
