Just adopted a cat that was left outdoors when her family deliberately moved away without her. My best guess puts her at about 8-10 months old. I was previously told she was "up-to-date with her shots", and she was in good health when I picked her up off the street, so I did not immediately...

Took Emily back to the vet last Wednesday. Prescribed steroids - says she's seen that help in such situations. Probably be a week or more before I see any change. One good thing, she doesn't mind the liquid dose - too much. Smells good to me too! Her appetite seems to be falling off a bit -...

I was recently advised by one of the assistants at my vet's office that picking up an older cat by the scruff of the neck was very painful for them. However, when I asked the vet about it a few minutes later, she just admitted that she didn't know if it was bad to do that. My first vet...

My roommate's cat is laying down purring and I notice the sides of her mouth are upturned. Does that means she is smiling?

We have a lot of leftover Xmas ham, it's got a glaze on it, but no other spices AFAIK. Is it OK, to cut the ham in small bits and feed it to two cats who are ~10 years old? Thank you in advance. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: ---

They will hop on the bed, purring. Then they will start moving their paws up and down. Not really scratching/sharpening but more gently. Years ago my mom had a cat that did this too but only on a pink blanket or my sister's pet stuffed pig. And she would suck on it too. It was kinda...

Hey folks. Lost my Usenet account, and am reduced to Google.. hope you can help me out. I first saw this picture a few years ago, have seen it pop up in various spots, and it's pretty awesome. Cat takes a swipe at a snarling dog on a beach. Usually these types of spats wind up with someone...

Hi, I don't post here much, but I thought I should warn people about this. I am always looking for foods that the cats might like, so I tend to scrutinize all of the food that I have not seen before. Today, I saw Mulligan Stew for cats. Hmmm. That's interesting. But,... how can this...

Moe is a black shorthair, a rescue kitty of indeterminate age. He is an adult, but not elderly. He has been sick for almost a year: runny nose, sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, etc. We've spent a fortune on vet bills and medications with no solid diagnosis. I spoke to the vet yesterday...

Since I switched Emily to Wellness canned cat food she has had hairballs - evidently too little fiber. Every other cat food I've tried gives her diarrhea. I finaslly discovered that ~ 3 tsp pumpkin daily kept the hairballs at bay. Unfortunately, she hates the taste of pumpkin mixed in her cat...

Emily, 15, has a diet problem - most foods give her diarrhea, including all the grocery-store cat food brands and flavors I've tried. She tolerates Wellness canned well, but is getting tired of the chicken flavor I've been feeding her for over a year now. The only store here that sells Wellness...

Gibbs is an 18 year old orange striped cat. She was diagnosed with renal failure about 1 1/2 years ago. The big problem now is loss of appetite. When she was first diagnosed, the vet prescribed pepcid. She hadn't lost weight and was eating normally. The vet prescribed it as a preventative....

I posted a few days ago about cat-proofing my mattress and several people recommended Sticky Paws, which I found at the PetSmart website. I was somewhat disappointed to find that three out of the four customer reviews of Sticky Paws were very negative; they basically said it didn't work and was...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays http://tinyurl.com/furballxmas

So, since the holiday means I'm running low on the liquid Tramadol, I pilled her this morning - used peanut butter, it went very well. At least, the pill went down, with none of the usual drooling that accompanies the liquid. She still fights me though. Just now though, same method, didn't go...

I'll never switch. It clumps well, does NOT stick to side or bottom of the litter box, very little dust, every bit is used, and not tracked all over the house. What's not to like? Comes in small bag too - no breaking your back with the heavy bags or pails. $6.49 - not bad, considering you'll...
