Every year I completely replace my litter pans - just toss out the old ones and start fresh. Last night I went out and plunked down $8.99 each for two "Giant" Van Ness litter pans. I hired a babysitter and spent two and a half hours today cleaning the pet area - replacing all the bedding,...

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 have an 12-13 week old male kitten. I got him for my fiance for christmas but unfortunatley our daughter is allergic to this little guy. We are giving him away to anyone with an open heart and an open home. He is grey in color. He is very playful, in good health, and he is excellent with children...

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...

We've now had Marbles 2 weeks. He's a darling, sweet kitty that purrs all the time, potties where he's supposed to, doesn't have any horrible habits but...my original kitties, Scottie and Abbey, are horrified of him. We kept Marbles confined to two rooms for about 4 days when we first got...

Well, Kitty really went downhill yesterday, Saturday...in the A.M. her left leg gave out..she was limping. Took her to the vet for her quartizone shot.. He watched her walk around, now she was more flat-footed. He said it was all related to the liver tumor, said that it was cancerous because if...

To Gail, Rhonda, Joe Canuck, Phil P. My deepest gratitude for your advices on Paris, my cat,post surgery. I wanted to get the most information about how to take care of him. I should say that the Vet has been very concerned about the cat and myself. He provided me with so much advise as you all...

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...

I came home from my walk the other night to find a car parked in front of my driveway. There was a woman standing in front of it looking at something on the road. It was a dead cat. The woman had obviously seen it in the road and stopped, not knowing what to do. She asked me. I said, "I know...

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...

How do cats typically react to harnesses. Never thought about it, but have seen posts about here. Do they try to run away, walk in circles, run from side to side..I can't imagine them walking in a straight line like a dog..Just wondering now that the weather is getting warmer, I might want to add a...

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...

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...

My male cat "Kitty" is very gentle. The feral female "Kiki" has been here for four years and two months, and is still untouchable and still hisses at me from time to time. As shown on my picture page, they have a Skyway that allows them to hang out above the crowd. They love it. A week ago, I...

My 4-year old male cat has a mysterious habit. Every once in a while he'll start meowing incessantly as he carries this long furry cat toy throughout the house. The cat toy is one of those whip kind of toys, resembling a fuzzy 3' piece of material attached to a stick like a fishing pole. He'll...

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??

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. ...
