I have 2 cats they are around 3 years old. They love tuna fish. Whenever I say the word "tuna" real loud, they come running and meowing loudly where ever I am. Now here is the amazing thing. The cats know what a can of tuna is. I did a little test the other night. I got their visual attention...

Hi...Well, Monday night I went out to the shelter...I always used to go when I was sad about anything - petting the dogs and kitties always cheered me up. I wasn't looking to adopt - the thought of a cat running around in Kitty's place was too strange! There's also a Petco nearby that has cats...

"Diane" wrote in message ... For those of you (Phil?) who've bought Dyson vacuums, how hard are they on the carpet? I'm asking because I rent, I don't have the world's best carpet, I know it needs to be...

I usually give Mico one half of a tuna sized can of food a day. Lately he's been eating it all, and then wanting more. Mico is almost one and a half years old, and is Siamese. I don't want him to become obese. Due to hunger he's taken to ugly habits like licking the floor when there's no more...

I was under the impression that hairball remedy (whether it be a paste the cat licks off your finger, or a crunchy treat that hides a gooey, hairball remedy center) was supposed to help prevent the cat from barfing up hairballs. I thought it was supposed to ease the passage of cat hair down the...

I think some people collect cats just to get some love from something. Cats can be very affectionate, but If a woman needs love, she just needs to fix her self up a little bit, and tone down the cat traffic. A man don't want a woman with 25 cats. He will never have any alone time with her. How...

I just spent $395 to go to a cat behavioral psychologist. Patches spraying was driving me nuts. Last week he peed on the bed and sprayed the side of it. He does not have a urinary tract infection. He only sprays near where Mimi likes to sit and sleep so I knew it had something to do with her. They...

Hello, and pardon the long introduction, but I *will* get to the point eventually: Early last spring, a litter of kittens was born to a stray/feral cat (known to us as "Boo") in our semi-urban neighborhood (near Chicago). Two of the kittens ended up hanging around our yard, and after they killed a...

Hi Something about my cat intrigues me. He's a six year old grey (Russian blue?) from a shelter. While he loves me, it's my wife's chest he lies on in the mornings, without fail. They hold hands/paws and they're mad about each other. Recently, he's taken to gently biting her cheek or chin. It's...

Greetings ~ I have my mom's cat (sh was originally my cat) for about a month while mom is recovering from a nasty bout with pneumonia. Fatass is an indoor cat, about 15 years old, living in my mom's (a smoker) one-bedroom apartment. She does not clean herself and sheds a great deal. She also...

Sorry - this is kind of a weird post, but I'm compelled.. How odd these Internets are. I've recently taken to reading the blog of the actor Wil Wheaton - best known as Wesley Crusher on Star Trek the Next Generation. It's really fascinating, he's a celebrity, but not a bazillionaire, creative,...

Several times in the last few weeks, my cat has spontaneously gone into a sniffing fit going around the house constantly smelling everything; constantly walking slowly and maybe going in circles. He smells the wall, floor and any objects in his reach, moving slowly around and maybe getting stuck...

I don't know how many kinds this recall involves. Natura has a separate pdf file for each brand. Brands involved are Innova, Evo, California Natural and Healthwise See this link with pdf files for each brand. http://www.naturapet.com/recall buglady take out the dog before replying

First, we want to take her to a vet (Chicago area). She seems to have no problems, just basic check up and shots. (She spends several hours outdoors each day.) What kind of pet carrier should I get that would be good for this purpose as well as longer drives we may have to take later....

Last summer my 13 year old cat, Sparky, began taking tapozole for hyperthyroidism. Until a couple weeks ago he was doing fine. He had even gained a pound or two, Now he seems to be losing weight again. Appetite is about the same. Is it ever necessary to increase the dose of tapozole? I wouldn't...

Just wanted to tell you I got fired (again) yesterday from working adoptions. A couple came in to look at a kitten, and spotted a Boxer and started squealing about how they wanted him. I told them he was a cat killer. They didn't seem properly horrified at that aspect of his personality. Couldn't...

Well, it seems the Peewuss is majorly on the mend. He passed yet ANOTHER huge furball - this time barforola-ed it all over the room this morning, but I'm pretty sure that this giant furball was the main cause of his problem. This cat has been on hairballl remedy food for the last five years or so...

Yesterday was Fleaday. We bathed our three cats and dusted/bombed the place. It was approximately a 12-hour process. I noted that one of the cats had considerably more fleas than the other two. I have two guesses as to why, and I was wondering if anyone can offer me a reality check on my two...

My cat has a toe biting problem. I've had her since she was weaned. While she was in her first year, she would bite toes in the middle of the night. She's now 3 years old, I learned to close my bedroom door to curb that behaviour. She's grown up with another cat since she's lived with me. The other...

Here's a new one: The past two weeks, Rizzo has taken to occasionally sleeping under my bed during the day. I suppose it's the coolest, quietest place, and thus he finds it attractive. What I didn't know is that he'd been gradually tearing a hole in the fabric on the underside of the box spring....
