If you are making your own cat food, what is your cat's favorite catfood? I've been feeding raw ground turkey. At first she ate it for a few days, then refused it. I tried again after a week and she ate only about 2/3 of it. Next day I tried leaving the supplements - calcium, B-complex, Vit E,...

I just applied "Soft Paws" to 2 of my 3 cats for the 1st time today. I was amazingly easy to do (with a little help from my wife). I was surprised at how quickly they adjusted tot hem. They did not lick or bite at them and have been going about their normal business for several hours now. Good...

In case you haven't been following, I started Tucker on a new, canned food only diet to help him lose weight. (Long story short, my vet gave me poor information and he gained 5 pounds in 8 months!) He's been on the diet almost 6 weeks and is doing great! He's lost 1 lb. 10 oz. so far! Initially,...

I have a recent addition to my home (4 year old girl that I got about 3 months ago), and she's shedding EVERYWHERE! It's not just because it's Spring; she's been shedding tons since I got her (in the middle of winter). She is an american shorthair, but seems to have a much thicker coat than my...

I am appalled. This jerk is no friend to cats and obviously has no ethics as evidenced by his blatant promotion of lies and distortions. Megan From: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/09/25/ED279186.DTL Individual Rights

Wow, intriguing picture of a cat that looks like yoda in cat version, to check this photo got to the below link! Oh and this picture is real! no gimmicks! http://xs133.xs.to/xs133/08460/yoda793.jpg

If I understand the ads, one dose of Revolution will likely get rid of all fleas and earmites in the house if all cats are treated simultainiously? Are there any other products that will do this? Is this expensive? ...Like how much? Are there any safe flea collers for inside cats??

It's not just my other cat Elwood either! I brought Jake with me over to the parents for Father's day. Well the parents have 3 dogs, and Jake knocked the snot out of all of them!! They tried to give him guff, but he gave them a might growl, and boxed them into next week. He was even chasing them...

Dear Megan and Mary, Many Thanks for taking so much of your time and your trouble to help me make my two cats friends for life. I really appreciate all your help. After reading your posts under "O'Malley-Hercules & Xena......." and Mary's email, I have done some thinking. First of all, even before...

I have a litter of foster kittens, about 8-9 weeks old. I was just upstairs playing with them, and one of the kittens was making all these digestive noises, like gurgling sounds. I looked to see if he had anything leaking out of his butt, didn't see anything. He was playing and acting normal. ...

Martha, my 5 year old domestic long hair mix likes to hang out on the balcony, and specifically perched on the 4 inch ledge. The ledge she prefers is over concrete, about 12 feet to the ground. She is not calm while hanging out on the ledge, but restless, looking over the edge like she is...

Thought I'd just post a quick message about how things turned out with the strays I've been working with. The little black and white guy with the severe URI went to a no kill shelter and was adopted two days later. The brown tabby with the degloved chin and FIV finally tested negative for FIV and...

Welp, I'm a new cat owner (3 beautiful kittens), just under 5 months old now, and we're looking to find a vet, get them spayed/neutered (as applicable). A little behind schedule, long story, but nonetheless, we'll make it happen before they go into heat. Long story short, what questions should I...

I brought Tiger (female, 14 1/2 years old) & Otto (male, 5 years old) to the vet on Friday. I had felt a lump on Tiger's underside recently and wanted to have her checked out. I had been taking her to the same vet for the past 7 years but was never really happy with him, so I decided to go to...

Is anyone familiar with some kind of indoor Christmas lights that are cat proof? My friend would like to put lights on the tree in her condo but her cat persists in trying to eat them. I believe she is using the LED lights. I'm not sure if a cat could actually break one of those and ingest...

Hi there, I have a 12 year old hyperthyroid semi-feral female cat. She loves me, but she's very afraid of everyone else - so I'm trying to minimize the amount of vet trips for her. She weighs 6.5 pounds which is one pound underweight for her. Her creatinine is normal (1.2), but she's drinking &...

I was considering doing cat sitting to make some extra money this summer as well as get even more involved in helping cats. There appears to be a big need for it and with my love of cats I figured why not. What does everyone else think? It seems that doing stuff like this is getting to be the...

I'm looking for recommendations on a good cordless clipper to cut the hair of a (very impatient) cat. He has very thick fur and must be trimmed once or twice a year (especially for the summer months), but he's fidgety and won't stand still for two minutes without throwing a tantrum. For that...

Any ideas on what can cause both of my cats to start drooling? It's not a lot of drool, but just a single drop that's slowly dripping out of the side of their mouths. I noticed it first in my 9 year old, Kotyo, yesterday afternoon. About 2 hours after he ate, I went to pet him and his lower jaw...

Hi all - Thanks for 'being' with me during the trials of Millie's illness. On the weekend things were great - her appetite returned and she was chowing down on food and apparently her personality was coming back. The vet mentioned that there were some more sores appearing on her back that he was...
