Poinsettas poisonous for cats?? by Andrew
With x'mas on the way I'm tempted to buy a pot of poinsettas (those "christmas flower"). I know it's poison for human... but is it also for cats? I've heard that it's NOT poisonous for cats (or the cat need to eat several whole plant to get enuff poison for them?!). What's the truth?? thanks

question about fur quality by Yngver
About six months ago a very emaciated stray cat appeared on our doorstep, and despite the repeated objections of our resident cats, she ended up staying. At the time we found her, she was very malnourished (weight only 5.5 lbs for an average size cat) and her fur was coarse and clumpy. On a good...

Flea & Tick Control? by [email protected]
Hi, I have 2 adolescent cats (about 22 weeks old) and they're going outside now. I wanted to get some kind of flea & tick control for them. My Vet recommended Frontline and said that the over the counter stuff could cause neurological damage. In reading about Frontline, I found some dogs that...

Apparently there are now two stray cats in my complex that have seemingly been alone for a while. One is a Calico and the other is a long haired black cat. The management approached me about helping these two cats but I am limited on funds but they have allowed me to start a fund...

Feral cat behavior by Betsy
I have 11 cats, 2 are rescued ferals from my old neighborhood. One settled down into almost pet like behavior after she was spayed, the other is still quite wild 10 years later. The "pet-like" one, Melon, has some kind of skin condition which is autoimmune. She is being treated for it with...

I Think I have a Maine Coon by Sherry
(snipped) He looks a LOT like a Maine Coon. He has the bushy tail, the big high ears with little tufts of hair sticking out, and the shaggy fur, including the droopy belly fur and britches. The only characteristics he lacks are the longer mouth (his is more like a normal housecat), and he...

Painful bump on cats back that isn't going away. by James Collins
Hello everyone, I have two male American Shorthairs that are both about 5yrs old. One of them has developed a bump on his back (right above his front shoulder). It appears that the problem is just under the skin, rather than an external problem. The bump is about the size of a pea, and feels...

Cat spraying: got professional help by Mary
I just spent $395 to go to a cat behavioral psychologist. Patches spraying was driving me nuts. Last week he peed on the bed and sprayed the side of it. He does not have a urinary tract infection. He only sprays near where Mimi likes to sit and sleep so I knew it had something to do with her. They...

Help! Kitten Vomiting! by Spark
Hello everyone. I've had my kitten named sam for about 2 days. It is a female kitten with black and grey stripes on it. Anyway, I have been feeding it Purina Kitten Chow for about a day now, since she wouldn't eat the first brand we gave her. We have also been giving her some wet food. So far she...

I'm at wit's end with my cat... by Leonessa
This morning, my cat decided it would be fun to attack my arm. I was bleeding profusely all morning, and by the time the bleeding had almost stopped, he did it again. I know he's playing...he's just a very, playful wild cat. But this kind of playing is not acceptable. And I've tried everything...

food by afr
I know I've been asking a lot of questions since my arrival a few weeks ago. The reason is because I can't seem to get adequate care instructions from doctors I talk to. My cat was put on neutral ph (IVD select care and waltham's so) soft food three weeks ago after he was blocked. The problem is,...

my cat keeps bringing home dead animals by jacqueline wright
I live in the country and my cat is left to roam free amoungst the fields, although i think this is great for the cat it is not so great for the animals around it. It brings home, dead birds, rabbits, moles and mice. I know it is only doing what it believes is right, but it is very upsetting to...

Compulsive licking by Dave
If anyone has had a cat with a compulsive licking problem (where the kitty licks raw places on their legs and other places), please let me know if your vet was able to determine the cause, and how it was treated. I will be taking her to the vet again but I'm curious what others' experiences have...

Crushing Methimazole? by Tony Toon
We recently got a third kitty, a middle-aged one from my sister. She moved to England recently, and can't take the cat with her. She takes 5mg of Methimazole twice daily, or at least is supposed to. The old cats are chasing and fighting her constantly, so she won't let anybody get near her, and...

Put Amoxil Drops on food? by Kirk Is
So, the vet prescribed amoxil for the kitty. Who really doesn't enjoy the eyedropper-in-the-mouth treatment. Is there any medical reson not to just apply the medicine to her food? I can't imagine her not eating it... -- QUOTEBLOG: http://kisrael.com SKEPTIC MORTALITY:...

Claw question by Wendy
Two nail clippings ago I noticed that Tiggy's claws on a few "fingers" have gotten really thick. I didn't think too much of it the first time I clipped them. I thought maybe she was getting ready to shed the outer nail like they do periodically. When I clipped them the next time and they were still...
