I posted this message at another cat newsgroup and got two helpful replies. I am posting it here (much larger) to see what else I can learn. I'm moving from my apt to another place across town in a week and will be taking my two cats, Dan-Dan (male, at least 12yrs old) and Whitey (female, around...

I picked up 2 young (~5 months) domestic short hair cats 3 weeks ago and they do periodically clean themselves, but they never seem to do so right after using the litter box. This becomes more of a problem when a cat is having soft stools as a small amount tends to stick around on the cat's rear...

We got 2 new kittens a couple months ago. They are 4 months old now. A few weeks ago, we suddenly realized we had severe fleas. We had the vet flea bath them and he sold us Frontline. Right at the same time, we flea bombed the house but it was only partially effective. So, we applied the...

I'm appealing to the wisdom of the group in hopes of finding some interesting thoughts/suggestions/solutions to a problem which has been ongoing for about 2 years now. I had raised my cat from tiny kitten stage on a sailboat I formerly lived on for approximately 10 years. She grew up to be a fine...

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...

Hi. I have a cat whose diabetes was until recently manageable through diet. He started to lose weight so I took him to see the veterinarian. She told me that his blood sugar was high enough that dietary intervention alone wasn't going to be good enough - that he'd require insulin. I left my...

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...

Is Royal Canin widely accepted as a high quality, premium cat food? If it matters, I am referring specifically to the Sensible Choice Chicken Meal & Rice Formula (adult). Thanks in advance!

From: Laura R. I neither particularly like nor desire children, which means that I am very fortunate not to have them. There is absolutely nothing about your life that will ever inspire envy in me, you bitter, sagging frump. People w/o children usually respond to other people in the manner...

Did I make that ^^^ clear enough that this was off topic so that people won't be forced to read it if they don't want to??? ; Also, note - THIS IS NOT A COMMENTARY BY ME JUST SOMETHING I FOUND AMUSING! There, did I cover all bases? ...

His dermatologist appointment was today. This vet is very very thorough in both her examination and taking his history by asking questions. Based on his history plus what she saw, she didn't believe it to be caused by a bacterial skin infection, which is common, but he does have a secondary...

Ozzy is still doing good with the chickens. When they all run at him at once he gets a little nervous. Now I have to break in 2 other cats and a dog.. what a lot of work this is. Sorry I havent been around, My computer was took over by spyware and adware and really got messed up. Take care, Judy

Bought another diffuser and put it downstairs near the prime spot he's been marking. Did another big clean-up, though I'm worried that stuff has seeped down past the flooring into the floorboards. Using an enzymatic cleaner, but the animalark website suggests a cleaner called "Force". Perhaps we'll...

Good News! Do you know how simple it is to go to Heaven after this life has ended? Some people believe that belonging to a local church, temple, mosque or synagogue will get them to Heaven.

Hi. There's a long window above our bed which the cats love to jump on and prowl around on when we sleep. A couple of times they've jumped on our stomachs getting down, which is no fun at all. Last night one of them landed on my face, giving me some unsightly and painful scratches. Any ideas...

Background: We have two cats, both female. We have two, covered litter boxes. The boxes are side by side and both use by both cats. We clean the litter daily and replace it every couple weeks. We use premium, clumping litter (fresh step). We have two problems: 1. The litter gets tracked...

I know it is not the most refined question you are likely to face today, but I would like to ask the more experienced crowd he How do you treat a cat when she throws up? It has got to be uncomfortable and disagreeable moment for them. The cat I feed tries to run away from the spot when this...

I want to order some Feliway spray to use on my cat carrier. Who has the best price? Dr.Foster/Smith has a good price but the shipping cost is excessive. -MIKE
