ADOPTING ANIMALS There are approximately 100 cats in need of adoption. Interested adopters can download an application here and fax back to (504) 324-0518. They will then be contacted by a Noah's Wish coordinator. Interested adopters will have to travel to Slidell, LA to accompany their new...

Mine do. If I want Kiki's attention away from food/similar, I have to be stern about it. But if I want Kiki to come when she is not busy, all I have to do is gently call her and maybe stretch out my arms in a welcoming fashion. Kitty does too, but maybe not as easily.

My 16 year old cat began limping 2 days ago. He was fine in the morning and when I came home from work, he was limping on his front leg. I'm not sure how he may have hurt himself, if that's the case, but it may be that he fell or tripped on the basement stairs because when I came home from work...

My nine year old female cat (spayed) constantly digs holes in my lawn but almost never excretes. I took her to the vet and she said there was no evidence of a problem. We treated her anyway with antibiotics just in case she had a urinary infection. Should I be concerned? J. Huff

Jasmine (age about 5-6 months) has been doing some panting after strenuous exercise and so I've made an appointment to have her checked for cardiomyopathy. What I'm wondering is how is this diagnosed? The panting is her only symptom, so I'm hopeful it's just that she doesn't know when to...

Hi I am posting to this groups because most info I get on cats comes from here, indeed most of the text below came from this newsgroup, through google. Please help :-) I have a male cat, he's loving, kind, relaxed, soppy and very tolerant of my 3 LOUD children, he sleeps with my daughter (eldest...

Does anyone know the approximate age when male cats can successfully father kittens? Thanks, Momma Catt

My adult cat has been breathing loudly out of her nose and she smells funny. I don't know how else to describe it. She also is losing weight. I brought home a kitten about 4 months ago and for the most part they get along these days. I think the weight loss is related to the kitten being a fat...

Since the "fat-free craze" began, statistics show we have grown fatter and fatter. Just because a food is fat-free doesn't mean it's calorie-free. Get up to speed on "good fats" and lose the fat from your body, not your diet. Today, supermarket shelves are packed with foods that call to dieters...

(my question is at the bottom of this post) I found this abstract on PubMed of a recent study of diet for CRF cats -- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi? cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=16100367&query_hl=8 or (same article) http://tinyurl.com/ac9wq ======== Retrospective...

This is my first time here. I have a tortoiseshell 6 mo old who is over the top rambunctious. She chases anything, everything and nothing. Our other cat is so docile and makes us wonder if Patches is psycho? Any help out there?

Phil check your website's email Please. I sent one earlier today with an important question. If you did not get it I will post it here

A friend told me that Friskie's Dental Diet made his cats sick. I've been feeding a limited amount to my two cats for at least a year - maybe ten pellets a day. Neither seems to be bothered and their teeth seem to be clean. The few cases of throwing up seem to be hairball related. What has been...

Hi- I adopted 2 beautiful brothers from the animal shelter on Sept 29. The shelter told us that they were 2 yrs old and that they were originally brought in sometime in Feb 05. Then (not sure when), someone adopted them, only to return them to the shelter in early Sept. After a check-up, our vet...

cat nip addiction, is it possible? My Mozzy will only come in or take notice, if there are cat nip treats to coax him. Is he addicted, just spoilt, or like the misses says, twisting me round his pointy little claw?

Just got back from a doctor's visit and the irritation on my arm has turned out to be ringworm. Have an indoor only cat, 2years old dsh that is showing no signs of lesions at all. If the cat is not showing any signs I'm assumming he can still be infected with it, true? Is it necessary to physically...

http://www.jcruel.com/?c=posts1116 how can they do this? it's not right to treat animals like this!

Looking to purchase the LitterMaid self cleaning cat box and wondering which is the newest top of the line model they make. I see the Mega model but also seeing another model that seems more expensive. I owned -senior-two cats which one is starting to use my carpet for a bathroom if the other uses...
