Speaking of "artificial and fabricated toys & equipment"... As I've said before, my indoor cats have a "Skyway". It's mostly made of 1x4s, 2x4s, and a few very wide boards. It's overhead, just above head level. Had it for years now and they still use it all the time. It has two ramps as access...

I have always had all of my animals neutered, including a number of cats. I believe it is the responsible thing to do and good for the pets' health. I know all the arguments for spaying, but I have a good friend who has got a 7 month old female and says she will not have it spayed because she is...

My mom's cats who notoriously do not like any canned food really like the new Meow Mix packets. So out of curiosity I looked at ingredients today while at the store. EVERY flavor, whether touted as chicken, beef or whatever, the first two ingredients are Tuna and fish. So really, all of those are...

A male orange/cream tabby came to my door last night pawing and rubbing on the door and in general acting friendly and needy. I noticed it because my two cats were excited and one of them was mumuring at the visitor through the glass. The cat was urgently begging to come inside even though I'd...

Barb, I think I'm confused. Everyone's posts go on google and in the archives as far as I know. I'm on dial-up and mine have always been in there. I've used google for years, deju-news before that, to pull up past posts. Am I missing what you are saying? Rhonda barb wrote:

I need some advice on an unfortunate accident. I had a cat that was an outdoor only cat. I wish I could've brought him inside but I had no control in that matter as my parents wouldn't allow it. Recently, the cat was attacked by a dog and as soon as I heard the commotion I ran outside to get the...

My ex-landlady is about to move out of her house next door over to San Francisco, in the Haight Ashbury. I became very attached to her cat, Jackson, and am nervous about how he will adapt; mainly I am nervous he might run away. She put a tag around him and plans to keep him inside for a few weeks...

I don't know if this link will work here, but my niece (who is 3) sent me a Christmas card that I know other cat owners would appreciate :-). http://ecardview.hallmark.com/hmk/Website/greeting.jsp?bae=3&mailID=BAE_ECARD_Order&id=EG5129-471717-51831154&userID=0 You might have to cut and paste...

Three to four weeks ago this cat came around (I live at the beach in Sarasota county, FL). She got my attention through crying unlike I have ever heard any animal cry. This poor little kitty was truly in her last days. Suffering from malnutrition and, who knows, what else! The LARGE lover of...

For a variety of reasons I would like to work our a feeding schedule so my cat would be unlikely to have to "go" during night (say midnight to sunrise). How long after eating/drinking do cats tend to have to "go"? Kiran

Hi My first time posting here, but I need to say something that might prevent others from having the sad experience I had yesterday regarding our wonderful cat, Merlin. My husband and I took our beloved 18 year old Merlin to our vet yesterday to be euthanized because his body had just finally...

Just FYI for those who's cats are on medications. If you get your meds at regular drug stores, and you have AAA cards, you can use the cards for discounts on the meds. Recently I got some Metronidazole/Flagyl at the vet's office - $16. The next week got the same amount at Rite Aid with my AAA...

This morning I woke up and Gaya was curled up against my side looking all cute and cuddly and she was purring really loudly like when she was a kitten.. She looked up at me, stretched one paw as if to say "Would you pet me please?" and we stayed in bed for a long time just cuddling and...
