Hi Everyone, I'm new here and pleased to meet all of you! I have had a very hard year, lost my three beloved cats, ages 13 and 15, and my heart dog at the age of 18. 3 years. I really didn't want another pet because of the tremendous pain but fate/karma decided otherwise when a feral mama left a 2...

I now have 5 indoor cats with the appropriate number of litterboxes throughout the house. All get cleaned daily and completely changed out weekly with top off amounts of litter added as needed. Two of the boxes are at opposite ends of the same room. Whenever these boxes get changed it seems to...

Yeah, yeah, I'm a bit over protective. LOL. Baby Jasmine has, since I adopted her, panted like a dog when she's had a big round of play (heavy running and chasing). Her mouth open, tongue hanging out a little bit, just like a dog does. (She has a couple of other things she does that are dog-like,...

Our cat, Neil, is now nearly 12 years old and has been not well for about 6 months. 6 months ago we noticed that his abdomen was beginning to swell up quite a bit so we took him to the vets. Turns out his abdomen was full of fluid and possibly his liver was slightly large. Blood tests were done...

I just adopted my first kitty. I'm not sure how old she is but I do know that she is young. I was wondering if digging in the cat litter is normal? She has been digging in the litter box like she is looking for something. I've had her for only a week and she just started (or at least I just...

Hi all. My cat George has lost a tooth. He was meowing into my wife's face, and she noticed that his usual Four Big Teeth smile was down to three. My wife took George to our family vet, who gave George his shots (he was due) and pronounced his teeth okay. The vet gave no explanation why his...

Have you all heard the "report" recently that links cat ownership with schizophrenia? What is particularly disturbing is the allegation that cat ownership as a child will increase dramatically the chances of adult-onset schizophrenia. It's just bad press for cats. I really hope this dies down...

My cat was just diagnosed with Feline AIDS, and I can't seem to find any useful information. The vet clinic in my town had nothing to offer, so I'm searching the net. I know the disease is also called the Feline Immundeficiency Virus or FIV, but that's about all I've come up with so far. ...

Hi, Our 2 year old tabby Jinx hurt himself somehow during the night and I was hoping for some advice, specifically whether we should take him to the vet. I figure pictures speak louder than words so I took a closeup of the wound: http://krystek.net/JinxCut It's on the back of his neck, and is a...

I plan to keep a change of clothes and shoes in a bag and change in the shelter restroom...

When I took Abernathy to the vet with his bladder infection, I asked the vet quite a few other questions. One was: What are those strange black flecks on his very pink nose? Her answer: Freckles! She said it is very common for orange tabbies to have freckled noses and linings around their eyes....

With luck this won't be an issue in the morning but I have a question about my cat and his antibiotics. Sometime between the time I went to bed monday night and the time I woke up on tuesday one of my cats managed to cut one of his toe pads on his rear paw. It was a nasty cut that about cut the pad...
