This sounds silly, but I didn't know cats could carry rabies. You just never hear of it I guess. I suppose caution should be used when handling strays.

He did put that part in quotes ("), so I think he got it. Yet he responded as though I wrote them. If he wants to respond to those quotes it only makes sense that he do so to Bryan. I didn't write them, I only followed up with his message which stands by itself. It would be just as silly if, in...

Ok, it's like this. I have this 2 and one half yr. old cat that I recently adopted. I had my husband hold her with a towel wrapped around her and I proceeded to clip her claws. Well, she didn't like it at all, and hissed and fought, and bit. Ok, here comes the neurotic part. Do i put her down...

I use vinyl window blinds along with curtains because I like the night privacy they afford. (I'm not into big, heavy lined drapes; I prefer airier, lighter curtains) Jasmine has torn up three so far (lol) because she likes to look out the window. (Dmitri always did this too) She pulls the slats...

I heard yesterday that another foster home has 2 kittens with Penleukopenia. Well to be accurate, one has tested positive and the other was too small to get sufficient blood to test but has the same symptoms as the cat who was tested. The older kitten is about 12 weeks the younger probably around...

Hi, I joined this site to ask some advice as I cannot sleep because my poor rescue kitty is sick. He is about 1 yr old or less and I've had him for about 4 or 5 months after finding him by the side of the road. He has received all shots up to date and has had no problems until now. He has been...

Hi everyone, I will soon be relocating to the north-west Houston area - zip 77084, near Bear Creek Park and east of Katy for those familiar with the area. Off route 6, north of 10 and south of 290. More west than north I suppose. Would anyone be able to recommend a good vet in that area or...

I have had my cat for almost three years now. Just about the entire time I have had her she has always had a hard time using the litter box to poop in. She urinates in it fine.I also have another cat too, with her own litter box, which she uses fine. Back to the problem cat. I've tried...

Phil the angel trumpet cat was adopted today by the lady that found him. Mr. Kitty has a new home and his case has been added to the poison hotline about the plant. :-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-)

More kitty updates! Please.

People that smoke around their cats and force them to inhale those toxic fumes are irresponsible, ignorant jerks that don't deserve the blessing of a feline companion: Are asthmatic cats allergic to humans? Some felines sickened by cigarette smoke, dust and dandruff, study finds LONDON - Cats are...

Hi all, I am replacing my sofas and I want a general concensus. I know that cats claw fabric sofas; but in your experiences' do they (in general) claw leather sofas, chairs etc. I know have fabric, and my cat will claw at it at times. I do have a short clawing post which she will use. But, she is...

My eleven week old kitten stopped burying her stools two days ago. There is nothing notable in them and I haven't a clue why. She just digs a hole, has her movement, and then moves on. She still covers her urine. Any ideas? She was doing fine from the day I got her at six weeks. No change in...

Can anybody please recommend an online supplier of Frontline (preferably UK based to reduce postage costs). I've found several websites but I'm aware that counterfeit products are potentially a problem, so I'm interested in hearing of a supplier that someone has personal experience of, or that...

My ten year old, Angel, had recently been vomiting, lost alot of weight, etc. From experience with previous cats I concluded that she was either suffering from CRF or hyperthyroid. I gave her a tiny bit of a Xanax pill and the vomiting stopped and it also gave her a tremendous appetite. You can...
