Mage: feline hyperthyroid? by
FragSinatra
Mage has been throwing up once in a while so I took him into the vet.
Everything looks good, but he's lost 5 pounds of weight since his last
checkup and now they want to do a blood test for hyperthryroidism.
Is hyperthyroidism fatal in cats?
He's usually a tough kitty, but now I'm worried about...

Day one of Tiger's kidney diet, and history by
Brian Link[_2_]
I'll explain what we're trying in a bit, but first some background.
Apologies for the long post.
Tiger's a 17-year old Maine-Coonish moggie (long hair, ear-tufts,
tabby markings). My son picked him from a litter of farm cats. He's
always been very healthy.
I thought it was time for a physical,...

Cats don't require grass as part of their diet? by
FragSinatra
I've noticed that practically all the cats I know have eaten grass at some
point in their life. Some of them make it a daily habit. I don't like to
let Mage out because of fleas and ticks but when I do he's grazing the
grass. It doesn't seem like they throw up after eating it either.

Odd cat ritual by
Rhino[_3_]
My male cat has an odd ritual that he does sometimes before drinking water:
he rubs his front feet back and forth alternately a few times in front of
the water source - like a human standing on a door mat trying to get snow or
mud off a pair of boots - before drinking. He doesn't do it every...

First time Summer Grooming by
Sylvia M[_5_]
I'm a first time poster, and need your advice...
Would it be wise, or too dangerous, to have my 9 year old long
haired cat professionally shampooed, Summer-lion-cut, and nails
clipped?
Might it be too traumatic, since she's never even had a bath,
hates to have us clip her nails and has never been...

Trackers for cats? by
Rhino[_3_]
Is anyone of aware of any products that can be attached to a cat so that it
can be tracked if it doesn't come home on its own?
I'm thinking of various TV shows in which the cops track the bad guy via a
GPS chip in the bad guy's cell phone. Is there anything equivalent that I
could put on a cat...

Feline jealousy by
FragSinatra
Mage, a medium sized orange tabby, is very jealous. He doesn't like
it when anyone pets Zero, a more lithe black cat. He'll deliberately
get up and go over to where anyone is petting Zero as well as come from
anywhere in the house if he hears someone petting Zero. This means Zero
doesn't get a lot...

Feline humor? by
FragSinatra
Why is it that cats think playing hide and go seek is fun or funny?
Everyone is looking for you, calling your name, thinking you're hurt
and you don't bother to reply or come out. Then you just suddenly show
up like nothing happened. Very funny.
Or how about waiting to go up the stairs until a...

Depo Medro and Personality Change by
JazzyPurrs
Hi everyone. I am new and came here because I am so upset about the reaction my sweet Himalayan cat has had to a recent Depo Medro injection. Jaspurr received 20 mg 4 days ago for a skin condition and since then I have lost the happy cat I knew. All I can think of to describe him now is "flat"....

It's so awesome that Megan and those who donated for his care were able to save his life! What you've done is truly amazing.
Cats and their toes are NOT disposable!

My cat won't stop begging for food by
Dom
It's all in the subject title. To give you a feel for things, my cat
will beg (cry, poke at me, search the trash for food) as soon as I get
home. I give him a 3oz can of gravy-lovers food, and a bowl of hard
food, and he licks up all the gravy in the first and takes a nibble
from the second, then...
