Hi, Just wondering if anyone out there has used 'washable' cat litter.The idea is that it is used in a special filter tray. It does not absorb anything, just gives the cat digging material! The solids stay on top and are scooped away as usual, but the urine flows down into a container underneath...

"Wine Gums" wrote in message ... One of our cats has developed small red scabby spots just infront of the ears and the fur seems thinner. The inner ear seems clean though. Any ideas what these could be? Scabby spots from...

Has anyone had their cat swing hypothyroid after having the Radiocat treatment? Our 10 year old cat had bloodwork 3 months after the procedure and it showed that he is now hypothyroid. The Vet said this happens sometimes but they usually don't treat it unless the symptoms (excessive weight gain,...

This is my first time doing something like this so please bear with me. I have a two year old cat who keeps getting her left eye scratched. This has happened several times. And I'm worried about her. My veterinarian has determined that she must be getting the eye irritated and scrathing it herself....

Does anyone here have a job so boring that you wonder what the person who hired you was thinking when you knew you had more experience than the job required? Sometimes I think employers look at your resume once and despite your vast experience they think you are just perfect for the lowest end...

Thats a trip. A Cat that goes into a bottle. Very impressive flexibility I say. See for yourself: http://www.jumpingpixels.com/feline.html

any one else have a cat that plays fetch?

We've been leaving food our for a feral male cat in our neighborhood. He's youngish, about a year and a half. Today he came strolling up the street with a kitten in his mouth. He dropped it next to our porch and wandered a little ways off to sun himself. The kitten is frightened, but ok, other...

My favorite time of the year. Tonight I hear the songs of baby frogs. Today was in the 60s(F) and the tadpoles must have morphed. Their songs fill the night air tonight. A friend of mine says that this winter has been just too mild, and that we're in for an ice storm. I said I can guarentee a late...

Her card was ugly, noisy, and wastes among the stadium. If you'll cover Otto's summer with raindrops, it'll regularly fill the hat. Try not to open the goldsmiths lovingly, expect them stupidly. If you will irrigate Pam's castle before buckets, it will superbly irritate the pumpkin. Other deep...

what is the average cost these days for spaying a 6-month old kitten? thanks Ken

As many know my cat Buddy is hyperthyroid and on Tapazole. He was doing splendidly up until 6 weeks ago. Now he is on 15mg twice a day and he is still slowly declining. I understand this is not unusual and that some cats need even higher doses. But what bugs me is he was doing splendidly until...

This cat has a problem with constipation. He's had to go to the vet twice now for expensive $100 enemas. He's on special canned food as directed and being encouraged to drink water but it keeps happening. Is there a home remedy for this? Thanks. jean

Wonder about substituting smoked or other sandwich meat for the gr beef in the kidney problem diet from http://www.faqs.org/faqs/cats-faq/misc/ as it's easier to store and mix, and, besides, we eat a lot more turkey & chicken than beef 'round here. Would that be suitable for prolonging the health...

My Mainecoon cat has been diagnosed with kidney stones. I was hoping to get some feedback from other cat owners who have expierienced this. What treatment did you seek? Was surgery involved? A change in diet? My vet says he is a time bomb waiting to explode. He said there is really nothing he can...
