"Popof 3D" wrote in message ... I just got 10-year old cat. I haven't bought her a cat tree yet as I'm saving up for it. In the meantime, I got those cheap scratch posts (sisal) that hang on a door and a box containing...

From the San Jose Mercury News... "The Bush administration is proposing far-reaching changes to conservation policies that would allow hunters, circuses and the pet industry to kill, capture and import animals on the brink of extinction in other countries. Giving Americans access to endangered...

Hi, I have recently adopted a small stray cat, hoping that she will make my older 7 year old cat more playful. Unfortunatly, I have discovered that she has tons of energy and rarely sits down. Whenever somebody is at the door she comes running, she climbs until she gets right under the ceiling,...

Dmitri sometimes misses his litter box by a fraction of an inch, and shoots all over the floor. If I happen to be in there when he's going and see that he's missing, I can physically push his rear into position and all is fine, but you can imagine the messes. So I had gone online to find out how...

Once in America a plane crashed, only a monkey who was traveling in the plane was left alive. Fortunately the monkey was intelligent enough to understand our language and reply in actions. The officials went to see the monkey in the hospital and had a talk with the monkey. Officer: "When the...

My 7 year old female cat, Dirty Face has red showing thru her white fur on her nose. Last Aug. when I took her for her annual shots I mentioned it to the vet. He said to put Neosporin on it. It didn't help. Then it was just red between the eyes now it's down her nose. What on earth could cause...

Do cats feel the heat during the summer hot weather? If they do, is there anything we need to do to cool them off? Zoe

Every year I completely replace my litter pans - just toss out the old ones and start fresh. Last night I went out and plunked down $8.99 each for two "Giant" Van Ness litter pans. I hired a babysitter and spent two and a half hours today cleaning the pet area - replacing all the bedding,...

I have a 13 1/2 year old male tabby. About four months ago he started to vomit usually, but not always shortly after eating. Since I only feed him once a day that meant he threw up all his food for the day. Right after that he'd be begging for food. I took him to the vet who examined him and...

I woke at 2 am to some horrible screaming in the backyard. It sounded like a cat fight but it didn't sound like cats. I never heard anything like it before but it sounded like something was being killed. I didn't know if it was my yard or a neighbor and couldn't see anything. It went on for several...

This is mainly for kittens. But my male cat enjoys chasing his tail, so it might work well for him too. Currently, he needs the exercise. I found a way to give my three kittens all the indoor exercise they can handle. Basically, it's just extending their tail 6 or 8 inches with a 1/4 inch thick...

I was wondering what was better for cats, bio spot or frontline? My house was infested with fleas (I rent and it was the previous owner's fault) and even though I had an exterminator in here last week, my cats had a flea bath but both the house and cats are still crawling with fleas. We're...

We have a seven year old male cat who has always had a very enthusiastic and non-fussy appetite. Until two months ago, he happily tore into any type of food we put down for him - dry or wet. Not long after we moved house, he started to refuse the dry food he had always loved. We switched to wet...

I see these very expensive scratching posts at Petsmart. I was thinking of making my own scratchin post for our new cats. Does carpet really provide a scratching post for the cats? These things they sell look like fun toys for the cat but do they really provide a scrathin post. I thought they...

My trick is simple: I dip the pill and my fingers in cooking oil before medicating the cat. This achieves two things: 1. the oily pill goes down the throat fast and does not get stuck on the tongue 2. the cat's muzzle gets oily from my fingers and he starts licking his chops right away, and that...

The time has come for us to open our hearts to some kitties who need a permanent home. It has been a long time since we adopted cats, and they have always been kittens. This time, we would like to adopt two adult cats together, preferably two who have been companions. I have never adopted adult...

Has anyone got any Fawn Point Siamese Cats in the UK that they can show under GCCF rules ?
