I have a tiny, exquisite Siamese kitten running around under my desk, glowering balefully at the other kittens, growling like a little dog, with one of my husbands socks clenched firmly in her jaws. What is it with socks??? Kittens have the cutest growl,....

I have a 12-year-old indoor-outdoor cat. For the last several months, he has not been using his litterbox regularly; goes on floor in basement usually. But this morning, he went no.1 on the living room carpet. I know a trip to the vet is in order, but I'd like to solve the problem without...

Hi, if you are having trouble sleeping, and turning around in your bed, here's some relief for you... http://collegeandloans.blogspot.com/ http://cure4imsomnia.blogspot.com all the best !

I just introducted another male kitty whom I named "Sunshine" American short-haired (18 wks old/beige & white) into my brood of two other male cats. Pebbles (orange) is my oldest cat; he's 6 years old & is not too happy with his new buddie as yet. But then again Sunshine has only been with us...

Hello everyone! After few months of hard work, my site about the various insurance sites is finally up and running. I have tried to create a site that acts as a gateway and goes right to the point and cuts through all of the marketing and PR hype. Having read this group for quite a while, it looks...

What causes a cat to purr?

She will give up soon enough Just be patience ""kls"" wrote in message ... My cat has had one of the head collars fitted by the vet today (the ones that look like lampshades). She is struggling getting about,...

One of my three DSH's, a black 9yo neutered male named Ted, recently started licking the hair on his tummy excessively, leaving a large, downy area of near-baldness. He also "scrubbed" a couple spots bald on his right foreleg. I took Ted to the vet yesterday, and was told he doesn't have any...

I should probably start out with some background - 2 months ago I adopted a 3 year old male cat I named Otik from the shelter. He was dropped off by owners, is fixed, and does have claws. He is very shy and timid, but once he gets going he loves affection. It just takes him awhile and if he thinks...

My cat has stinky poop. the vet told me this week to get a stool sample to get for parasites and bring it in - I didn't get any further instruction. so how does this work? here's my plan: wait until my stinky little stewie poops then scoop it up ant put in a ziplock. Can I put it in the fridge...

..... are posted in alt.binaries.pictures.animals. SadEyes got special treatment when he was here. In all my years of being around cats, I don't ever recall one that looked as hung-down, brung-down, woebegone, and bedraggled as this. I was the only human that could even walk within eyesight of...

My cat Fila is an 11 year old female indoor cat. About a week ago she started to have blood in her urine. Yesterday she kept going to the litter box to pee but I don't think anything really came out. Then she went and sat in a bucket with dirty work clothes and tried to pee there, when she...

We just got two cats. One of them sneezes every time she goes into the bedroom. It seems to be mostly when she's on the floor, where there's a rug. I guess she's probably allergic to something in there, do you think that's right? Is it something to worry about? Thanks, Maxine -- mgusenet at...

Day 4 of antibiotics and Luna seems to be just about sneeze and sniffle free. She has been up running around and much more active. I think it's safe to say she feels MUCH better! I have no idea what made her get sick all of a sudden! Does that kind of thing just happen? She is an indoor cat! I...

My cat just came home today from a bout with a urinary blockage. The vet cathiterized him for a few days to allow the blockage to pass. So, he was soaking in urine for 3 days. I have washed him twice with baby shampoo, but he still absolutely stinks! Does anyone know what I can safely use to...

Does anyone have experience with either? Some sites recommend this in conjunction with Chlortrimeton for cats with allergies. Derm Caps http://www.1800petmeds.com/pdetail.asp?SK=10303

one of my kittens have been throwing up and his dropping looks very watery...anyone knows what may have caused it? thanks,

we recently took in a stray. he's very friendly and has been roaming the streets for at least 6 months from what people tell us. no one has claimed him although we placed several local ads and called various shelters, vets etc. he eats well and knows how to use the litter box. he's a...

our cat licks the soap in the soap dish repeatedly. is this a sign of anything serious beyond cat insanity? we've resorted to putting the dish in the cupboard to keep it away from him. he east and drinks normally otherwise and is average weight for his size. tia
