I am trying to monitor Farfou's urine pH. What would be the best method and where can I buy the device/strips or ....? I found at Petco a mid-range (6.2 -6.8) pH indicator, but it is for testing fish water. I used it on farfou's urine, which was very concentrate. The sample stayed yellow, which...

There are 6 pictures of Sammy and her 6 new babies posted at alt.binaries.pictures.animals. I was obligated to include a picture of my other sweetie, Cassie, who is never far from the action. She was making noises of inquiry during the picture taking as if to inquire whether she would be included,...

That's weird. Counties don't regulate pet ordinances. Municipalities do. Or at least that's the way it is here. It totally depends. Can you expand on that, Laura. Admitting first I'm sure not a whiz on government..but here's the way I see ithe I thought an ordinance was strictly a...

(CBS 5 News)--A Peoria neighborhood is on alert after 2 family pets are found dead and partially skinned. The gruesome discoveries were made in the areas of 99th Avenue and Union Hills and 83rd Avenue and Beardsley. A cat was found right behind its home. Two days later a dog owner found his...

I have two female litermates that are about 9 years old. One of these cats(or at least I think it is only one of them) leaves me a gathering of nickle sized turds on the floor next to the liter box about every other day. They are pretty much dried up when deposited. This started after I started...

I have a feral with reddish fur. I heard that it is the result of a vitamin deficiency, and it will turn gray with regular meals. Has anyone heard about that? -- John Kimmel I think it will be quiet around here now. So long.

This is also about my foster cat, Hushpad. Hushpad's previous owners were a mentally ill woman and her husband who was hardly ever home. There were a total of 7 cats in an apartment, which was in serious disrepair. The woman was being committed, so the cats were turned over to the rescue...

OK, you're all assuming he runs in terror. All my previous cats took off for parts unknown as soon as I turned it on. Well, a few weeks ago my old Hoover croaked. Being tired of replacing vacuum cleaners every couple of years (I continually burn up the motors, for some reason), I decided to get a...

I need advice on shots for my cat. The vet routinely administers the following shots annually: FELV Feline Leukemia FIP Feline Infectious Paratinitus FIV Feline Immune Virus (cat AIDS) FVRCP/C Feline distemper He also administers rabies shots at the same time.

These are interesting but are all these true? a.. 95% of cat owners admit they talk to their cats. a.. A cat can be rightpawed or leftpawed a.. A cat cannot see directly under its nose. This is why the cat cannot seem to find tidbits on the floor. a.. A cat has 230 bones in its body. A human only...

Hi. Last December we adopted Callie, a three year old female DSH from the local animal services people. She had been in their care for about three months. The vet said she was healthy and she certainly seems to be to us. Until now, we have never noticed any skin flakes (looks like dandruff)...

I took Jewel to the veterinary behaviorist yesterday. She confirmed the redirected aggression thoughts I had about her episodes. She explained that it is caused by a defect in a gene which causes an abnormal and extreme reaction to certain stimuli. And since the reaction is not rational, there...

This is not spam--I had just posted earlier asking people about this, and now have one of my own. Even though the refills are a little pricey, I love having my own "diaper pail for cats"! No longer have to run the baggies out to the trash every time I clean the box in order not to stink up the...

My husband and I acquired a 4 week old kitten a few days ago. I am in the process of trying to litter train her, which is proving difficult. She seems to have a thing for towels (I think?) I have been making her a bed with towels, and she keeps peeing on it. I also put a towel on her litterbox...

I have two desexed adult male indoor-only cats. At night, a neighbourhood cat visits our house and lurks in the front yard, often sitting on the doorstep. This completely freaks out my pair, with lots of banging and crashing as they jump up on things to try to get a view of the other fellow,...

Hi, it's me again. Hoping for some quick advice, as it's too late for a vet tonight. One of my recently adopted feral cats has been doing a lot of vomiting today and I'm getting concerned. She's not vomiting food, just small amounts of white stuff, like spit. When it started, I picked up the food...

This is a bit difficult to write. My cat is near the end. She's coming up on 22 years old, and has been going downhill for the last several months. It really started around Christmas of 2002, when she had a big stroke. I got her breathing again with mouth to mouth, and she spent the night in an...

Hi, I have a siamese kitten - he is only about 10 weeks old and is going through an 'attacking everything' period. I know hes playing and learning to hunt, but im starting to look like a scratching post :( Does anyone have any idea how long this stage lasts? Thanks for any thoughts. Rach
