Asking for diagnosis by
Jason Leow
Momo, my cat, is sneezing and acting like he is trying to get rid of
something in his throat/nostrils. The vet took an X-ray of his lungs
and chest and found "shadows" around them, and concluded that there is
infection.
So now my cat is on medication from the vet but isn't getting better

Is this Normal Behavour? by
The Nice Mean Man[_2_]
Our cat loves iceberg lettuce. But only if it's served cold covered in
thousand island dressing with a couple of saltine crackers on the
side. We know he constantly tries to mimic our behavior, but this is
kind of ridicules. Anybody else's cat like lettuce?

They use their skyway all day. The paranoid feral female learned a
new trick recently. I was getting up to feed them, and Kitty was
behind the her on a single board, pushing her out into the room where
she did not want to be (since I was getting up)....

need e-collar advice to keep cat away from his tail by
Elizabeth Blake[_3_]
Friends of mine have a young male cat, around a year old, who managed
to do something to his tail in their apartment last week. They said
he was acting fine but one of them noticed his tail looked odd. They
brought him to the vet the next morning and it turned out he hurt his
tail really bad. I...

echoes in the forest by
Mark
The whippoorwill returned to the forest, she
echoes in the ambient night air and her
song bounces off the tree trunks luminated
by a passive full moon. She
belongs to the night, to us for a time, then
like some lovesick ghost floats away to
who knows where leaving us a piece of
ourselves.

Martha is playing coquette to a Tom by
Rockinghorse Winner[_2_]
Martha came to me from the local pound around Christmas, and has been a
wonderful companion. She has some *wildness* in her still, in spite of being
fixed before I picked her up. Specifically, she has a fondness for being out
of doors. We have an arrangement where I take her for a walk when I get...

NON ITCHY EAR HAIR LOSS by
[email protected]
One of my two cats is losing hair on the back of his ears BUT it does
not seem to be caused by mites. First, the veterinarian says mites
typically cause hair loss on the tips of the ears but in this case the
tips are fine - it is the backs of the ears only that are affected.
Second, the cat is NOT...

ASPCA Insurance Question by
Peg Caldwell-Ott
Derek and I thought we were being very clever to take out a health
insurance policy on Pemberton and Ebenezer, especially now with a
kitten in the family (Ebenezer). ASPCA seemed to be the way to go,
and were generous in arranging a "Level 3" policy on each cat. This
translates too about $70 per...

Older cat breathing problems by

I have an older cat who just turned 19 this month. He gradually began
developing some breathing problems over the last few months. It appears
that he can no longer purr, but wheezes instead. I took him to the vet a
few months ago, they x-rayed his lungs and said that they were fine and
showed no...

Cat with LYMPHANGIECTASIA by
Jennie Edsall
My year old cat, Mittens, has lymphangiectasia (very rare in cats). He is on prednisone at the moment, but I am unsure what to feed him. I know he needs a low fat, high protein, grain free diet, but is there one that works? I know switching him to the raw food diet might be best, but I want to know...

St. Bernard's Worth of Kittymass by
harry
Hello,
If you consider the average weight of (properly fed) kitties to be in
the range of 5 (3 to 6) lbs, and the weight range of a St. Bernard is
110/200 lbs, you can own about 40 kitties of a St. Bernard's worth.
Therefore if someone asks you how many kitties you own, you can say,
“I have a St....

Purrs for Meep by

We don't know if anything's actually wrong yet, but at her vet visit
yesterday the vet thought she felt a lump near Meep's cecum. Might be a
tumor, Vet's not sure. Meep is also slowly but surely losing weight,
despite eating (somewhat) better over the last couple of months - she
gets two...

Cat scratcher emery board no more clipping? by

Has anyone tried the new curved cat scratcher on a wooden base? Supposedly
it files their nails down so you don't have to clip. One of my cats hates
to be clipped.

But for now: Meep (14 yr old spayed female moggie) has a tendency to
