Revolution for cats by
Lynne
The new vet thinks the cats should be on Revolution instead of
FrontlinePlus and Interceptor. It would certainly be simpler and less
expensive, but I hate to fix something that isn't broken. The vet only
suggested this because Revolution covers ear mites. This doesn't concern
me since they...

UPDATE: Unexplained weight loss in 8.5 yr old male cat by
Lynn
I took my cat for an ultrasound this morning and unfortunately, it
didn't come back with good results that I was SO optimistically
looking forward to receiving. Apparently, he has lumps and/or masses
spreading throughout his abdomen. On the mezzentary (sp?)? The doctor
said he either has FIP...

pork? by
Dennis Carr
I've heard it said once that pork is one of the things you don't feed to
your cats.
Now, other than that it's not kosher (and then a concern if kitty is
Jewish), I'm curious, what is the reason for this?

Another benefit of Astroturf... by
John Doe
Cats enjoy clawing on it. Apparently does not hurt the Astroturf,
yet. So it gives them good clawing exercise. My indoor cats have been
doing it for many months. Just noticed the outside (neutered) cat
claw on some Astroturf that's on the porch. They are attracted to it
for that purpose.

Muscle atrophy in hind legs? by
yngver
Our 11 year old cat has arthritis in her knees and a bit in her spine.
She has been doing very well on Cosequin and can still jump up on the
bed and even runs a little sometimes but I can tell her knees bother
her because she walks with her hind feet a little forward, hunching
her spine. Even our...

Heart murmur in young male by
Priscilla Ballou
My new kitten, Francis, has had a heart murmur since he dropped into my
life at age 4 weeks, two months ago. Today he had his 12 week check-up
and shots, and we discussed neutering.
The vet said that since he has a heart murmur, he should have an
ultrasound before anaesthesia to make sure he can...

Cat, porch, winter by

in the back porch, which is covered and protected from rain and snow,
partially protected form winds, but it is not heated.
It is still September, I can read 87 degrees. The cat is busy ignoring

Do new cats NEED to fight the residents? by
Brian Link
I'm getting some conflicting info from googling this whole
"introducing a new cat" thing.
There is a viewpoint out there that a new male, in particular, will
need to rassle with the current residents in order to establish the
new hierarchy.
Henry mostly watches the other cats, but he will...

Cats love their Skyway by
John Doe
http://www.flickr.com/photos/27532210@N04/
The kittens drew their mother up onto the Skyway (the kittens love
it). Before, she did not go up there. I didn't encourage it, because
the feral has been totally cramped (she's really weird/paranoid) by
our newcomers and needs space. The male kitten...

Cat Meowing by
Debbie Bouthiette
I have a cat that just doesn't stop meowing. He mostly does it because he
wants to go outside. We'd like him to be an indoor cat since all our other
cats were indoor cats and we believe they live a healthier life indoors. I
even tried to let him outside today in our fenced in yard and while I...

Perils of Seeing the Vet NOW w/OUT Becoming Informed by
Elle
One of the Marys here pointed out today that I did not respond to some
requests to elaborate on the following (which I posted in response to John
McMaster on May 13):
---
John McMaster: ... the advice to visit a vet NOW is always good.
Elle: By itself, no, it can be fatal.

I have (3) thirty three day old kitties.
See http://www.scrtoys.com/
I've scooped them up twice and taken them outside to change their
surroundings and play in the grass.
This freaks Mama. She mows continuously even after I return them to
their room. She'll go back outside where they were...

Pacing, meowing by
[email protected]
For the past couple weeks my 4 year old male cat has spent most of his
time pacing up and down the hallway, going from one room to another,
while meowing most of the time.
The only time he stops the noise is when eating or sleeping. The noise
makes it very difficult to sleep, and I doubt I sleep...

Experienced opinions requested on this raw food product... by
Hank
http://www.abcpetfoods.com/
I'm looking for opinions from those with first hand experience feeding their
cat a raw diet. This is a local vendor that I am considering trying. I would
like to avoid making a raw diet myself, if possible, thus the attraction to
this vendor.
Does anyone have an opinion...

Cat Food and Mad Cow Disease by
Jean B.
Soooooooo, do any of you wonder about the beef byproducts that
might be in cat food? I was initially thinking that not feeding
cans of beef would do the trick, but where else might this mystery
meat lurk?
