My young shorthair cat vomits a couple times a month. She always does so on a blanket. It's not one blanket, it's any blanket she finds. Is there a way I can train her to vomit on the tile floor where it will be easy to clean?

Mommy opens the boys' bedroom door and two little orange blurs come rushing towards Mommy and begin to climb Mommy's pajama-ed legs. Archer and Ozzy (in chorus): "NAAOOOWWWW? Gushy food is NAAOOOWWWW?" Tayla (heard in background from the next room): "mee-ee? are you going to feed...

OK, where do I start?! First, does anyone have Phil's email address so I can also email this to him - I know he gets busy during kitten season and doesn't always read the group? Phil, I just adopted 3 cats from a rescue organization that operates out of PetsMart - Sunsmart. Archer and Ozzy...

Stray mother had kittens on my porch back in mid March. I brought them inside 10 days later and they have been inside ever since. (I am working with a local rescue group that puts them in Petsmart stores for adoption.) Mother and three male kittens were recently (2 wks ago) fixed. I had...

This is going to be a quick update since I just got home from work, then the vet's, and just finished dosing/scooping/feeding - it's 8PM and I haven't eaten since lunch (oh the joys of new slave-hood). Just as I thought, Tayla, Ozzy, and Archer all have URIs. Tayla's fecal was clear, but both...

My cat Zacky is an indoor/outdoor cat, and he's forever bringing home prey that he catches. Every week or so, I'll come home and find a bloody lifeless bird in my living room (and the room full of feathers!) Or a lizard. Or a mouse. Or these really weird worms that are not snails or slugs,...

I'm sure this has been discussed before. However, I'm inquiring on some "natural" things I can do for our 16 year old baby in Renal Failure. He's vomiting and has lost so much weight. He's a feisty little guy and the vet doesn't want to do weekly IV therapy because he'd have to be sedated which is...

OK, I just talked to Dr. French and he said that at that dosage (1cc twice a day) there shouldn't be any problems. He suggested skipping one day of treatment and then restarting the Albon at the *CORRECT* dosage after that. He said there reallky isn't and counter agent that would help, or even...

We moved Tayla upstairs into Ben's office last night, both so she wouldn't be quite so isolated and lonely (my office is an extra room off the garage), to let her sounds and smells mingle with the "upstairs" cats, Demi and Jessie, and to give Sammy (who is traumatized by sounds and smells of the...

Hi there I have two cats, 4 and 5 years old who have always lived inside in a flat. Now we have moved to a house with garden and a forest behind and we were so looking forwards to leave the cats to enjoy.. but I am scared they panic or get lost or a bigger aninmal attacks them (or them attacking a...

Levi is my sweet little lap cat. He'll cry for attention if I'm standing and haven't noticed him, and of course he always gets it (yes, he still suckles, too). So I was holding him and petting him and he was rolling around in my lap and purring. I told him how he was the sweetest cat I've...

My pussy insists on going out and staying in the swampy weather.

I felt like spending some money, so I bought a Drinkwell Pet Fountain the weekend before last. I washed it and set it up and Cat was very interested and cautiously investigated it and was soon drinking out of it contentedly. For the next week, she seemed quite comfortable with her new source...

OK, little momma is *SUCH* a slut - as soon as you sit down on the floor she *THROWS* herself on your lap and starts rolling around - she's *SO* not shy for just being brought to a new home. And here are also the two little teensies who are stampeding across the floor above my...

can't we just dedicate a song and all "share" the link? this rainbow bridge thing is not cutting it. I was just thinking about Jupiter.. and then I thought about.. you know.. and then this horrible thought appeared RAINBOW BRIDGE

My roommate has two cats. She adopted what turned out to be a pregnant stray who gave birth to 5 kittens about 4 weeks ago. Up until birth the stray and the home cats seemed to tolerate each other. Now, the stray stalks and constantly attacks one of the resident cats. This has extended beyond...

Hello! After the huge pet food recall I started looking into Organic Cat Food vs "regular" cat food. I have two cats and usually have foster cats. I volunteer at a no-kill cat animal shelter. It was worse than what I expected with the cat food. Even the top brands were full of crap. It is like...
