Bit of a long post here... First I want to thank everyone for the messages of support about the death of my cat Nic. It really meant a lot to know that people out there remembered him.

We recently had a cat killed by a vet because of a second vicious and totally unexpected biting incident. In effect, it was the end of an unsuccessful attempt to adopt a quasi-stray 3-year old male (originally not neutered). It caused my wife and I considerable emotional pain because 99% of the...

We adopted Skeeter, a really sweet 2 year old orange tabby, a neutered male, about 6 months ago. He's a really sweet cat, very passive, loves to be petted. The idiots who owned him previously declawed him, unfortunately. Skeeter has always SCREAMED to go outside, so about 3 months ago, we started...

Boy, if you want to hear something that will make you cringe; come over to my house. We just bought a siamese kitten, and the poor thing won't stop meowing. From cute little meows to obnoxious yelps, I swear our sanity in now a luxery. I don't get it. It eats, drinks, potties (1&2), but still I...

My 16 year old cat suddenly has scabs under his chin, doesn't seem to hurt his eating but looks terrible. Any idea on what could be causing this would be appreciated.

I don't want to think this but I really think it is time for drugs for Shamrock. He is just the most obnoxious cat and I don't know what to do. Shadow spends all the time that I'm home terrified of him, so he sticks close to me. (they are separated when I'm at work) If he doesn't, he gets backed...

Just giving an update on my newest family member. Lancelott is adjusting fine - Inface I doun't think he missed his birth home at all. He now has full run of the house with the other cats. I microchipped him the other day - my cats don't go outside and we have never had an oops - but it just makes...

Hello All! We are having a devil of a time purchasing the usual "Cat Grass" that our cats love so much. Just recently both Petsmart and PetMart have gone completely out of stock. It is something of an inconvenience to have to trot all over town trying to find it; sometimes they have...

We recently got a new cat, an 8 month old female, who'd been living with a foster after being rescued from a barn. She's a very, very sweet cat and we haven't had any trouble with her, except she doesn't use the scratch posts we have. We bought a large climbing tree with carpeting on it, we also...

Our precious oldest son, Amaretto, a seal point Siamese, turns 13 years old today! What a dear little survivor he is--we have had him since he was 3 days old and (more recently) he has been a feline diabetic for the past 4 years! We are VERY proud of him! Like any good kitty birthday boy, he is...

Hello, I am the caretaker for a very loved cat named Jack. He is an american shorthair tuxedo cat. Unfortunately, he has bad teeth and bladder stones that require surgery next week. I simply cannot afford that on my receptionist pay and am making a plea to any cat lovers that can help a little...

Health issues aside, Jackie begins her integration into the household and the boys are watching suspiciously. Yesterday I was only home for an hour before having to go to a meeting so that was the only time Jackie left her room. I let the boys out in the backyard and then fed Jackie and let her out...
