Strange things happen - my much loved Burmese boy Mr Max of 14 years died 8 May 2009. On Saturday I can pick up my new Burmese kitten who is the great great grand nephew of Mr Max. The strange thing is my new kitten was born just 2 hours after Mr Max died, so 8th May is going to be a happy and...

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 was considering doing cat sitting to make some extra money this summer as well as get even more involved in helping cats. There appears to be a big need for it and with my love of cats I figured why not. What does everyone else think? It seems that doing stuff like this is getting to be the...

Martha, my 5 year old domestic long hair mix likes to hang out on the balcony, and specifically perched on the 4 inch ledge. The ledge she prefers is over concrete, about 12 feet to the ground. She is not calm while hanging out on the ledge, but restless, looking over the edge like she is...

Here is a show report for the ACT Cat Alliance Inc, Canberra Australia As the Secretary of The ACT Cat Alliance, here are a few words I've written about our very successful cat show held on the October long weekend... In association with the Waratah National Cat Alliance, we held...

I just noticed something strange on one of my cats. Along the top ridge of her mouth, on the outside, in the fur, but right next to her "lips" there are dozens of tiny black specs.. they look almost like blackheads. Any ideas of what they are, or if anything needs to be done?

My family is very sad about this, but we must find new homes for our cats. My wife has developed allergies, that over the lastg three years have become so severe she is now on asthma medication. We can't bear the thought of our 'children' being euthanised at a local shelter. We found a no-kill...

My wife and I are retired and our cat recently died and we want to get another. We have had several in the past years and we really want an affectionate cat that will sit on our laps while we watch TV or read. Not all cats will do this, some are friendly but skittish and will not sit on your lap...

I have one of those "Drinkwell" water fountains for my two cats. The water passes through a fiberglass/charcoal filter, then out a spout into a dish, and is then recirculated. I have to add about quart of water every three days. Question: How long can I go without changing the water and the...

While researchers and experts are highlighting the importance of diet rich in fruits and vegetables, a new study reveals some shocking news about the human tropic levels (HTL). Trophic levels are usually calculated for animals to des - See more at: http://goo.gl/Q29gzk

My 4-year old male cat has a mysterious habit. Every once in a while he'll start meowing incessantly as he carries this long furry cat toy throughout the house. The cat toy is one of those whip kind of toys, resembling a fuzzy 3' piece of material attached to a stick like a fishing pole. He'll...

If I understand the ads, one dose of Revolution will likely get rid of all fleas and earmites in the house if all cats are treated simultainiously? Are there any other products that will do this? Is this expensive? ...Like how much? Are there any safe flea collers for inside cats??

I have a litter of foster kittens, about 8-9 weeks old. I was just upstairs playing with them, and one of the kittens was making all these digestive noises, like gurgling sounds. I looked to see if he had anything leaking out of his butt, didn't see anything. He was playing and acting normal. ...

last night the cat came inside crying, licking herself, wandering around, then went into a box in the closet I setup a month ago. As long as I sat there with her, talking to her, she was fairly calm. When I walked away she got anxious again, followed me around the house, crying. She finally calmed...

Our vet, after already diagnosing the issue during an office visit, has told us that it is "policy" that worming pills only be given by their staff in-house ($20 per pill per cat). We have two cats, both of which are, to say the least, not happy about being carted off to the vet and/or riding in...

I'm looking for recommendations on a good cordless clipper to cut the hair of a (very impatient) cat. He has very thick fur and must be trimmed once or twice a year (especially for the summer months), but he's fidgety and won't stand still for two minutes without throwing a tantrum. For that...

Hi, just wanted to post an update to my post from last week for those that are interested. I still think it's really weird.. Anyway, Squidly did finally quit hissing at Froggy, although I was starting to wonder. So we do have peace and everyone is getting along. However, I don't think these two...

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

We have 3 cats, 2 of them are about the same age & are from the same litter. One of them is just an out & out snob, any time either my wife or myself EVER attempt to hold her, no matter how gently & slowly we approach, she inevitably runs away refusing to be allowed to be touched & when we do...

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...
