Has she been playing less since she got the dewormer? The kitten is under weight and probably is more fragile as a result. She should be thoroughly checked over to make sure nothing else is wrong with her. I would feed high quality dry and canned food. Feed her small amounts frequently and...

OK, cat people, I ... well actually we, i.e. Mother, the cats, and I, need some guidance from the best cat thinkers on the planet. I somehow feel this is the moment to say "your mission, should you choose to accept it........" because the situation is rather daunting, taking on aspects of...

I have a bowl of dry cat food in our backyard, for our "outside" cats, and it is often over-run by flies; is there any way to get rid of 'em (the flies) ? Thanks, Shell

Latest Developments Reuters Photo China Confirms Case, Begins Civet Cat Cull (Reuters) - China confirmed on Monday its first SARS case since a world epidemic was declared over in July, and began a mass slaughter of civet cats on fears a new strain of the deadly virus may have jumped from...

Hi. I haven't used a pesticide in years, but am getting frustrated to the point that I feel I need to find a solution. My basement is infested with camel crickets. I've tried a Bioganics spray, which works, but the level of the infestation is well beyond that at this point. Thousands of little...

So I took my cat for a regular check up today, and the vet showed me that his gums are kind of red--and suggested a $200 dental cleaning! That seems to be quite much. Is this a normal price? Should I get a second opinion?

My cat broke a rear ankle five years ago prior to my adopting him. A veterinary orthopedic surgeon repaired it with screws and a plate. The vet said to stay on the lookout for protruding screws over the years. Recently a screw came through the skin. There is no bleeding or anything. It looks...

Well, I've read many archive posts (about 200 there are about force-feeding) and I came up with something different on my own that seeeems to be working. Vet had said I should either get her to eat special wet food, or mix up something with meat AND VEG. My cat likes things like fish, chicken,...

Perhaps I should have known, but I have learned the hard way... When you stop using dusty litter, you should remove all of the dusty litter before adding new litter. I suppose it depends on the precise formula of the dusty litter. If you don't remove all of the old dusty litter before beginning to...

First of all, let me say that I am WAY too attached to my cat, Quincy. He became sick 12/31/04, but I didn't know what was wrong with him. Because it was a holiday, I didn't bother calling the vet. On 1/1/05, I started noticing he was trying to use the litter box, but nothing was happening. On...

It seems as if every time I change my kitten Charlie's litter, I experience some major allergy symptoms centered solely in my eyes over the next few days. I'm using Fresh Step Clay. Do you think it's an allergy to their particular brand, or to clay litter in general? I highly suspect that it...

First, the Bengal Breed was developed by crossing the ASIAN LEOPARD CAT with a short haired domestic. That makes the Bengal both a hybrid as well as a domestic cat. The eat the same thing any other domestic breed eats and are subject to the same ailments as any other domestic breed. They are...

Yesterday out tabby Boots looks as if he hurt his front left paw. He was cranky that he decided to hid in our yard. I thought keeping him in would be a better option than letting him stay out. We got him back in and off to the vet it was. The vet was nice (X-rays at C$190 that is high).

Just got our cat back last night into the house. For about a day or so, he was avoiding our property for 24 hours. He was more or less out for 72 hours. Recently at the start of June 4 kittens and their parents have taken a small area of our property to just raise the kitties. I wonder if our...

I have a 14 year old male cat that pees outside the litter box every few days. I have three boxes and I keep them cleaned often. I think he's having neurological issues, but perhaps it's something else. I plan on taking him to the Vet in a few days. I thought I'd get some feedback from others here...

My old cat just recently left me, and I'm planning to get another. In fact, I'm planning to get two more, so they will have each other for company while I am at work. The cats do not yet know each other; they have never met. One is a 1 1/2 year old male Bengal cat (neutered, or will be): the...

I recently started using supermarket gravel litter for my two cats. They made the switch from their old litter painlessly but I find that this litter produces a fair amount of dust. I find the dust seems to stick in my throat. I'm not having difficulty breathing and have no allergies that I...

I receive complaints about the Cat Deterrent. The elderly in particular use a cat-deterrent in their garden. It is a small apparatus with a speaker attached to it. It produces a high-pitched bleep of more than a 100 decibel. The sound is mostly only audible for children, youngsters and people...
