So, what does the vet say? I am making an appt for my kitty tomorrow, she is insane. I can pat her back side as HARD as I can and she will take it, she will lick the air and purr loudly. When I say slap her backside, I mean HARDER than you can imagine, she loves it! There has to be a problem,...

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...

As some of you know, I've been using Prednisolone for my cat's licky granuloma, and the latest round hasn't been working, so I'm going to try Derm Caps vitamins and 4 mg of Chlortrimeton. Does anyone know if the over the counter name brand is the same compound as the generic sold by...

I have 3 cats (Aged: 8-10). The two older cats always covered their poop. When I took in a stray, she understood to use the litterbox after a few days, but never understood how to cover her crap or pee. Now thats not a huge deal if she was well. About a year ago, my cat has gotten diareah & doctors...

I put my nose down there, and it stinks...what should I do?

TOMMY Words for my soul-mate. http://rrp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/store/images/tommy.jpg May you be at peace and enjoying the after-life, reunited with your big brother and beloved friend, Alex. For many years has he waited for you to once again be with him. .........

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 closet doors are mirrored, and Milo seems fascinated. Does he think it's another cat? Or, since the "other cat" has no smell, does anyone have a clue what cats do think of mirrors? I'd be interested in a good book on cats' mental processes. There seems to be a lot written on how dogs think...

I'm typing very slowly and mostly one-handed because I fell head-first off a step ladder land landed on my face with my right hand bent under me. It's a low step ladder and I was on the lowest rung, but the hand rail (bar?) is low. When I put both hands on the bar, I lost my balance and went...

"Diane" wrote in message ... I just bought Hodge a "thing in a bag." It's a brown Tyvek lunch sack size bag with a three-battery motor that vibrates its way around at random intervals for three minutes...

My 1.5 year-old-kitty is now left all alone when her only companion, my 9-year-old doggie was taken to another place for treatment of her terminal illness. My kitty, for loneliness or for the joy of being able to grab my full attention, has been following me everything in the apartment. She would...

I just returned from the 3rd time out with my 2 1/2 year old cat which I adopted fromt he spca. Gave him time to get used the leash, all Georgie really does out there is roll around on the cement and then eat grass. I'm not expecting him to ever go jogging with me but is this the best it gets?...

I keep meaning to call Meghan but we are so incredibly swamped we hardly have time to say hi to each other in our household, let alone set an appointment. I'll be calling her this week. Henry is drilling in as one of my favorite cats of all time (the 1-yr-old stray we adopted). He has a Nerml...

Hi, We have one altered male cat, "Pete," in our apartment. His companion of 2 years had to be recently removed from our apartment due to medical and behavior problems. Pete is an extremely outgoing, nosey, vocal, and playful cat of 6 years. He is also lonely for a companion and playmate on his...

My 15 year old tabby began using Tapazole a little over a year ago. He began to eat better and gained some weight. A couple weeks ago his progress went downhill and his appetitie greatly decreased and he has been very quiet. Turns out now his kidneys are bad. The vet confirmed the Tapazole...

Ok...I've bought scratching posts, horizontal scratchers, and I just ordered nail clippers, citrus spray and sticky tape for furniture, and catnip spray for the scratching posts. I even ordered her a nice little bed. Alot of stuff for a stray cat. :-) I bought a litterbox and the "good"...

I have an 8 yr old female tabby who goes berserk whenever we try and wash her off. We usually get cuts all over our hands and it takes like an hour or so to complete because of her refusal to be washed. We also have the inherent problem of her licking herself when we're soaping her. What can we do?
