And just when I thought my three were doing well enough to stop using it I got a call from the rescue group asking if I could bottle feed another litter. Isabelle isn't happy. She peed twice in the hall this morning. Boots did the obligatory hiss at the kitty cage but has forgiven me and is in...

im not looking for things for my cat (necessarily), but things for the home - like cat salt and peppers shakers - or a pewter piece that looks like the back of a cat and the tail is the hook that you hang your dish towel on id especially be insterested in quality stuff - maybe even artisan...

Hello all, for those of you who use the crystals for litter, I have a bit of a gross question. Our kitties' litter tray gets a gross layer of sludgy stuff at the bottom, beneath the still-ok crystals. This happens long before the litter should "expire" as judged by the indicator crystals, which...

We've recently fitted a cat flap to our back door, which should mean that we can finally take a well earned 2 week holiday for the first time in years (wife doesn't like the idea of boarding the cats). The flap is around ideal height inside, but there's a drop on the outside, and the cats only go...

My cat's pads don't feel oily, but he sure does leave some sort of residue that is actually quite difficult to get off the tables and such.

It hasn't been easy getting Jackie accepted by Espy and Nipsy. I let her roam around late Friday afternoon and the boys were still not happy about it. I was worried about leaving even for two hours since she is all of five pounds and old and sick. But Espy came up to her and hissed. She hauled off...

Hi again, My poor little foster cat Hushpad is not a happy girl. She was treated for earmites last week, but she's still rubbing her head on the floor, against the wall and furniture corners, and pawing at her ears. One of the other volunteers thought it sounded like she had a secondary yeast...

My cat is only 8 1/2 months old, yet he seems to be biting everything! He tore up our toilet seat cover, and the toilet seat itself (the plastic foam kind) and he's even attacking me and my husband while we sleep. Not to mention the fact that he feels the need to chew on a metal table leg. What if...

OK, I know there is no definitive answer to this question. But what is the "smartest" cat breed? (if you feel you cannot list one, list several, but please rank them). I realize this is totally subjective but I'd love to know everyone's thoughts.

I have tried metal rake types, and regular little hairbrushes, When I brush this cat, hardly any hair comes off her. She's a beautiful longhair cat, not persian. I am beginning to think she's half porcupine though because when she rolls on her back I think she's shooting tufts of fur...

Hello All! "Angel" has always been a very active cat; climbing up and jumping down the cat tree, chasing and being chased by her sister, "Spirit". Both cats are about 5 years of age. For the past week or so, we have seen Angel limping and favoring the right front paw. Examination of her pad under...

I'm not sure what to do to get my cat to stop chewing. He likes to chew on magazine corners, paper, the bristles on my brush, wires, etc. He seems to be more like a dog than a cat. I wonder if I should buy her a bone to naw at. Any tips on how to get kitty to stop chewing?

My 3 year old male cat seems perfectly happy and normal, except that he hasn't been interested in his food for about 5 days. Last week, we had a very hot day here and I think Monkey drank some bad water in a dish in my kitchen sink. That evening he vomitted 3 times and urinated in a couple places...

Hi all My friend just called me. Her cat sustained some kind of an injury on Thursday, and hasn't been eating since, and growls when she drinks. She's also been staggering about a bit, and right after whatever happened, her tongue was sticking out. My friend had heard some kind of bang, and...
