We're considering getting a cat as a family pet but want to make sure we're doing the right thing. I'm not even sure where to start but I thought I'd see if I could get any opinions he - How do they do with kids? We have two, ages 5 and 2. - How difficult are they to house break? - Are there...

Help! We have a couple of fountains that we want to put back out in our home but can't figure out a way to keep the cat from drinking out of them. A few months ago we discovered that "Buffy" was getting sick from drinking the water out of one of the fountains. She vomited violently and we...

Hi. We recently had a disastrous experience with adopting 2 cats. They peed on the bed and sofa and we eventually had to send them back to their former owner. It was heartbreaking. We're about to try again with 2 different cats, and would like some advice on the best strategies for "re-homing"...

Sorry for the crossposts. I just now checked out the cat groups but didn't really see which one would be best, nor how much overlap there is. My 15-year old, Sadie Bugbane, was abused on her first trip to the vet, and since then it is almost worth the vet's life to take her in the doc. She is...

I'm wondering because my cat shows a lot more affection for me than anyone else in the household even if I'm don't always give her food; and it seems that it might...

Hi, I used to post to rec.pets.cats years ago. It appears that it's gone now and that I have not kept up with the changes. I see there are several cat newsgroups now including this one. It's nice to be back. I used to post under a different handle- Claire or John Swazey- and now have a new...
