x-posted to alt.pets.cats, free.uk.pets.cats, rec.pets.cats.health+behav (follow-ups set to rec.pets.cats.health+behav) Hello A question demonstrating rather a lot of ignorance - sorry - but in the case of neutered males in some animals, the various biological processes of coming into season...

Those of you who have been reading the group for a while know that we lost our beloved tuxedo girl last March to cancer, and have been giving ourselves time to grieve before adopting another. My husband had his heart set on a baby, but I have always adopted adults (figuring most people want...

Sometimes I will wink at a cat and it will wink back, same eye. Is it copying me, does it mean anything? Do cats communicate with people this way? I have noticed this with lots of cats throughout the years, my sister too. Any ideas?

1. Does anyone have a complete list off all brands that use Menu Foods (Not just the recall list). I've unsuccessfully spent hours trying to come up with this. 2. Does anyone know if Menu manufactures dry food? The only place i've found anything about this is on the PETA website, & they...

Hi. I was just wondering if there are any safe fruits or veggies that I could feed to my cat. Everytime I eat she begs for food, and of course I don't give her any, but I still feel bad and I was wondering if there's anything that I could give her as a treat once in a while so she doesn't fell like...

All, Just wanted to drop a note to everyone to let them know that Katie's thyroid has finally stabilized and her dosage is one half a Tapazole daily. Her behavior has changed somewhat since she's been on the meds. She's become a lot more needy and loves to sit on my lap all the time. This is...

My cat is male and about 13 years old. About 2 weeks ago he started having diarrhea with really watery eyes (might not be related...about 4 times a year he'll get the runny eyes for about a week). He also licks himself "down there" so much that he's lost hair on his tail. Since then we've taken...

Does anyone here give their cats presents for Chanukah or Christmas? Both Isis and Jade will be getting gifts this year for Chanukah. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com

Hi, I posted a short while back about my cats suddenly developing diarrhea (and vomiting) in reaction to their usual Innova diet. I've been since experimenting with other brands (Burns, California natural, etc) and after a month of this insanity, I finally try Royal Canin's formula for Sensitive...

Does anyone have a cat with a hyperthyroid problem? Mine has been on meds for some time but it seems now is the time I have to make a decision about further treatment. Surgery, radiation, iodine injection, whatever. Does anyone have some advice or information that will help me make a good decision?

My 9 week old kittens(2) don't seem to groom themselves very well. They clean there paws some and there tummy, but don't get the food off from underneath there neck and don't clean there self after they use the litter box. I always need to use a damp cloth after they poop. Any ideas? Thanks, Julie

My 14-week-old kitten just doesn't get it. She has to be in either a cage, or a very small room with litterbox, toys, and food, in order to understand that we USE THE BOX and not the corner for pooping. Her health is fine and there are no introduction problems with other cats (she's loving my...

Not sure if this will get many responses in a health and behavior forum, but i was wondering if anyone has had a successful experience getting rid of the smell from cat spray that has been in base molding and wood flooring for a period of time. There's a corner in my living room that was...

Bubba's impressions of a few types of canned cat food. http://www.sonic.net/~claudel/Bubba/Bubba.html I'll translate for His Majesty as best I can This is not intended as an endorsement of any type or brand, and is not at all meant to be a nutritional analysis. I tried to pick the flavors and...

Does anyone have any safe tips for keeping ants out of and away from the cat food in the house? Thanks. -- Paul O.

When we tried adopting Henry, he was an aggressive stray tom whose hormones were still kicking after being recently neutered. The introduction went well for a few weeks, but after going too quickly with the intro, and a major knock-down dragout with Louis (where Henry was the aggressor) the...

http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/mlabofski/my_photos?urlhint=actn,del%3as,1% Not very good but it will have to do for the time being, he's not in "posing" mood at the moment!

He may monthly tease thin and wanders our unique, sour figs beside a signal. Every durable outer enigmas wickedly love as the stale butchers solve. Will you mould below the cave, if John inadvertently likes the coffee? Let's arrive beside the cheap stores, but don't kick the worthwhile desks. I...

We adopted Edmund 3 weeks ago. On Friday, I took him in for his check-up and he was diagnosed as FIV+. We already have 2 cats living in the house who are FIV-. The vet kindly offered to help me find him another home. Did NOT suggest that FIV+/FIV- could live together. Here are the facts: - He will...

Here's something that's been bugging me for 2 years. 2 years ago my cat wandered out over black top, that cold stuff you black top driveways with. I think it was SealMaster. You get that from Sears. I called a vet who said any cure would not be worth the hassle. I called the company that said...
