First, have you taken her to the vet to make sure she doesn't have any medical issues? At the bare minimum, take a stool sample to your vets to be checked for parasites. Our youngest cat had both coccidia and roundworm, and she developed diarrhea and started pooing outside of the litter box. How...

Hello everyone! I'm new to the group but have been lurking for a couple years & occasionally posting since last summer, so I decided it's past time to formally introduce my cats & myself. I'm Mari, probably a little older than many here, live in Canada & have had cats since 1970. My present cats...

Another small opossum showed up in the rabbit cage. Don't know if it's a child of the other young one or if it's a sibling. They probably like to explore the cage because there's water, rabbit pellets and some times a few left over bits of cat food. Last night I left an empty can of N.E. clam...

My cat, Charley, wears soft claws, and that prevents him from damaging all the furniture in my house except for one sofa with rather soft fabric. To get attention, he "chooses" to scratch this sofa and of course, it works every time! ;-) I go over and shoo him away or try to distract with...

My female cat started very last night with an aggressive pawing at her own eye, which seemed closed. I could not see anything in there when I looked gently except it was obviously sore, She settled on my bed for the night although her eye was closed, and all as quiet until 3am when she...

Last night Archer ran up the side of the tall cat tree before DH or I could stop him. When he reached the top he, in his usual klutzy style, overbalanced and fell to the floor with his legs flailing. He immediately started limping again. I checked him over and I don't *think* he broke his...

I tried replying to your email and got a bounce notice. So, since I'm not saying anything confidential, if you don't mind, I'll just reply here.... Thanks chickie-dee! I appreciate the support. Yeah, we old-timers tend to forget that everyone here doesn't know the history and why a certain...

Today is wash day at the Crews' home. Before I wash I separate all the dirty clothes into piles on my kitchen floor. I needed to wash a comforter and that was in a pile all by itself since it is a large, king-sized spread which will be a load all by itself. Da Boyz thought I was a wonderful...

I emailed them told them it was 8 days ago since I treated Moe & Rudy, had also used a flea Bomb, Vacuumed w/a flea collar in the bag and sprayed downed the door mats, door ways, and all around the edges where the floor meets the wall the said i had hit the time when the eggs hadn't yet hatched...

My youngest kitten isn't cleaning herself well. I've read a couple of the other threads talking about it being a learned behavior, and while I realize that is true, the older cat has yet to be a problem and both were born and raised in a home where they were constantly around older cats. My oldest...

Hi, One of my cats does something that has always confused me,. so I figured I would ask about it here. He licks things. I know a lot of cats do, but I dont mean food things, or plastic, which he does, but he is constantly licking the edges of things. Of anything, a book, a table, a wall, anything...

bleeeeeeeep It's Sunday morning CN... Don't let me down

Is Science Diet better than all other brands? There were some catty posts regarding that. Don't want to start another fight..Cat has not been eating well, so I bought Nutro Gourmet dry - hopefully he'll like that. He just ignored Iams Original - it might as well have been sand. -- Message posted...

When Abbey died, we knew that Tiger would be lonely. He was a farm-cat with a lot of energy, who always tried to play with our other cats, but was rebuffed. So we made the decision to buy a purebreed cat whose reputed characteristics would best match Tiger's high spirits. We bought a Bengal,...

I have a male cat that has to have a tablet for the rest of hislife. I have tried putting it in food, but he just knows! I can't hold him down, and opening his jaws with those teeth it too scary!! Any ideas please?

Some of you may remember my liver shunt kitten, Ana, who was supposed to be dead by now. Well, here she is visiting Santa at the shelter! www.snittens.com/ana_and_santa.jpg She's about 8 months old now and weighs 8 lbs :-) -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net

I recently adopted a 2 year old tabby mix from the local Animal Rescue League. He is a great little guy and is fitting in well with my four year old tabby male. I noticed the other night as he was getting ready to bed down that he was kneading an area around my calf, which to me wasn't unusual,...

it is scaring me to death !!!
