came out here yesterday and looked for a few hours and again today on my lunch break, no sign of her, or any other cat, althoug someone is eating the food I leave out. Before, I fear the worst, I have to keep in mind that this cat has 'disappeared' for long periods before only to return none the...

Is it possible that a kitten can have attention deficit disorder? Or is there just a lot of individual variation? we have 2 kittens from the same litter - one sat by the tv watching "kitty safari" for 30 minutes...The other glanced at it and went on to another activity.. She also reacts that way...

A fellow volunteer just emailed looking for help on something that came out of her foster cat's butt :) Apparently, it resembles yellow seaweed and was seen in the litterbox and coming out of the cat's bottom. For background, this cat has chronic diarrhea and she is now on California Natural and...

Thanks to Janet for suggesting to another poster that he try putting a blanket on his lap to entice his cat -- this has been working like a charm with Rosalie. I don't know if she likes the fleece (well, I know she likes fleece! who wouldn't??) or if it just seems like a more solid surface, but she...

My Hannah has had urinary problems since the day we adopted her, the Vet had her on Science Diet SD for 75 days with urine checks during that time, she had struvite crystals now after this last urine test he said everything looks good so he put her on Science diet C/D for life. A friend of mine...

My kitten, Lucky, was diagnosed with a heart murmer at her last vet appointment which was about a month ago. She's aproximately 5 months old now which means I'll be taking her to the vet soon to get spayed. All I was told is that it would possibly shorten her lifespan a bit :( and that I needed to...

is it a fairly good food? that's what i've been feeding Shaina. it's quite inexpensive at petsmart.com and it looks good compared to the store brands. -L

Hello group, I've noticed that my new kitten, Dove, has a slight to moderate redness surrounding the outer layer of his eyes. His lids. I noticed this before* I brought him home last Friday and I asked the woman I got him from about it. She said that she had just noticed it too, as his sister had...

Thanks for replying. This story has a happy ending. My hubby is so in love with this cat it's uncanny. The cat is fully adopted by US and we spoil HIM rotten. Thanks for the help!

Has anybody had any experience woith a product called "Stay Away"..It senses motion and when the cat climbs onto a table, counter, etc, it shoots a blast of air and makes a loud noise. Ken

Dear Cat Experts, Please explain cat teleportation in layman's terms. I found some info on google but it was difficult to understand. Thanks in advance - AJ

Hi... After doing some research on the Net, I figured out that my cat had tapeworms. I called the vet today and they gave me two options: either to make an appt or jus pick up the medicine. I decided for the latter and I've already given it to her. My question is, how long does it take for the...

That is very common. The best way to prevent it is to keep the lid down. ---MIKE---

what are some good wind-up toys for kittens to play with? Ken

thanks guys/gals for your info . yes my boyfriend is a keeper . he did take home the kitten that is handicaped . the kitty has part of his leg missing .a vet thought that it was cut off by the ubilical cord at birth . there are three kitties that are 5-6 months old & the mom that we are going to...

I brought this up last month. Both Amber and Tiger frequently lie on their tummys with the paws out in front. They are usually crossed and it is always the right paw over the left. Has anyone else seen this? ---MIKE---

"Robert E. Lee" wrote in message ... How can one avoid such a medical disaster when adopting one of these "shelter cats"? Apparently a pre-adoption trip to the vet wouldn't have done it. None of this was apparent on the...

I guess we are gonna go thru this again. After these months of feeding Renal LP and the cat eating it, about the time the vet said he could go off of it, he decided he didn't want it anymore, ok no problem, time to start finding something he likes anyway. He just last weekend had a follow up blood...

I don't let my cats out - ever - so I don't know where this came from. In my dream I was walking at the end of my street when I saw a small gray cat and she was crying. Next to her was a small gray kitten - flat as a pancake - obviously run over (no blood or anything gross). There was also...

I have recently adopted an older kitty - he is almost 16. While he is grooming, he will often pull out clumps of fur with his teeth. He has recently had four teeth extracted and is in early stages of renal failure. Why would he pull his fur out? Thanks!
