I've read the archives, not sure what the concensus is. My cat pees against the side of the box every time and I have to scrape the clump residue from the side (not fun). I would like to know opinions of natural biodegradable clumping litter, with notes about how they act when stuck to sides...

Why do cats like emery boards so much? Mine tries to eat it. And also digs very deep into my wife's makeup bag to get at it. Is the smell of the glue they use? Or more of a texture thing? -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1...

I took Harriet to the cats only vet this morning. She still wasn't able to go to the bathroom since her last hospitalization on Tuesday/Wednesday. I called the cat vet this morning and they said I could drop her off between 8:00-9:30am. It was already 8:15, and it takes me about an hour to get...

Hi, I have a male,neutered tabby; almost 3 years old. Over the past few months he has started exhibiting rather disturbing behaviour. A month or so ago he got angry when I apparently didn't do what he wanted and he swatted me in the face giving me a cut above my eye. Since then whenever he...

The cat and I are both diabetic. I check my own sugar 6-8 times per day, I check his twice. We have separate glucometer kits. Today, while preparing to check the cat's sugar, I had a brain fart and instead of lancing the cat I lanced my own forearm with a lancet that had been previously used on the...

John Doe wrote: It's the weirdest thing. If anything in its area is changed, takes weeks getting used to it. It's the only cat that has not used their skyway. The only exception is for getting up to and down from its loft. There are two exit/entry directions it can go on the skyway, left...

Right now they have dog parks in the city where we live that are sponsored by the city, but I couldn't help but think that maybe we cat lovers should also have place to go with our feline friends that is sponsored by the city. What do you all think? -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your...

Hi, I was on here over a month ago and several people helped me w/a problem my cat, K.C., was having. Thank you all. It seems that the situation has not cleared up. She is large (18lbs). She was leaking this foul smelling brown stuff from her butt. I took her to the vet, who said because she's so...

Hello Everyone, First My condolences to the one whos kitty passed away. I stumbled onto this group while I was looking for pictures, similar to my newly adopted Persian. I figure shes a tortie/tabie point Persian/Himalayan,???!!? "say that 5 times" in short, I have no clue what type or class,...

I have seen a number of messages on this NG where people refer to their cats as "elderly" with little chance of a quality of longer life, with implications that it would be unkind to prolong the cat's life when the cat shows signs of illness. In some cases, these "elderly" cats have only been...

This is such a cookie cutter answer. Some things can be cured with bisquick and coke cola. and windex. Lord, Im going to become a vet.

We took Precious kittie, est. age 8, 9 months to be spayed at a small vet clinic in Lima, Peru; after the surgery, wound seemed longer than needed to be able to enter abdomen and remove the uterus and ovaries, which we were shown after the butcher-like procedure. We were given no post-op...

Hi all Just got a new kitten last wednesday. A friend came over with him and said his friend found him abandoned along with 2 of his littermates which were dead. Initially I said I did not want the cat as I have four others so he said they were going to put him back where they found him. At that...

My cat is at it again... now he has "nailed" plastic items near the front door (which I cleaned and moved to higher ground) -- I really need a Feliway diffuser, but I do not have electricity near the door. Has anyone seen a battery powered one? Or similar? I do not have rugs near the door (he...

Just wondering if anyone has creative ideas for what to do with old cat litter that has been reused for months on end... We have four boxes and use clumping litter with sifting pan liners. Every week we sift out the clumpy bits, add a generous sprinkle of deodorizer to the box, and top off with...

My 12 year old cat cat has just been diagnosed with intestinal cancer mostly because she has an elevated white blood count and a lowered protein and no other symptoms such as feline lukiema or thyroid trouble, and no kidney involvement. She does not have any liver malfunction. There have been...

I just complied a list of cat rescue groups in the Phoenix, AZ area for a co-worker who has a mom and baby kittens in her backyard. Unfortunately, she is not much of a cat lover and doesn't want to keep them or find homes for them. She only spotted them today so does not yet even know if they are...
