Our 3 year old has had his triple vaccination this morning for leukaemia, entiritis and flu - and after being fine on returning home is now lethargic, off his food and showing signs of annoyance when we stroke him, which is very unlike him as he has a sweet nature. Is this common or should we be...

My cat is bonkers!!! All my husband and I have ever done was try to love him and give him tons of attention. I don't work, so I am at home and play with him all day. His litter box is always clean... he always has fresh food and water... and we give him kitty snacks all the time. He is so...

The hard-core feral cat has been here for eight years. It has a loft in another room that's connected to their Skyway. Stays there most of the time. But when it exits to eat and use the box, it always takes the shortest route to the floor. But over the last several weeks or so, perhaps having...

Phil, You are by no means an "average" cat owner. Of all the cat owners I know, none of them have an otoscope. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44=B0 15' N - Elevation 1580')

I have always owned female cats. I have just recently adopted an older (12 yrs.) cat and he is absolutely the most affectionate cat I have ever known in my life. I hate to say it, but I feel like I've been missing out all these years having only female cats. MacCandace wrote: Chessfreak...

I'm convinced that there is a better material than carpet for attaching to 2x4s for climbing. For example, I have a ribbed rubber doormat that looks close if it were cut lengthwise and hot melt glued to the 2x4. Something longer would be better. Some ribbed rubber mat, maybe something used for...

Around Christmas my 8 year old persian-tabby cat Amy developed a limp in her rear right leg, we are not sure what caused it but we believe it was from trying to jump on top of a high counter. Along with the limp she developed a certain listlessness. We took her to a vet and he believed it was...

Just tossing this out for observation and comment. I have 2 cats in my household, a 4 year old spayed female and a 9 month old female due for neutering soon. Both are quite contented, well adjusted to each other and the household in general. Both have a normal interest in dominating the attention...

Which dry cat foods have the highest content of meat? I looked at many bags at PetsMart this week and the second ingredient is always corn or some other grain. Cats are not grainavores. I did pick up a bag of Purina. She gets a meaty canned food in the evening but I don't like leaving canned...

Got our kitty back from the vet this morning. $1129.14 poorer, I might add. He was in the vets for 3 nights, Highlights of the bill were hospitalization charges including "biowaste management" ($3.99 ea) at $122.40 per night, $120 for a CBC and chemistries, $114 for 1/2 hour anesthesia, $122 for...

Hi all, probably looking for people to tell me what I'm already going to do! Anyway, I'm quoting here from Max's House (www.maxshouse.com - thanks Phil P.!): "The most common clinical signs of hyperthyroidism in cats are weight loss, ravenous appetite, vomiting, excessive drinking and urinating,...

The world will miss the physical presence and teachings of the greatest living teacher of Vedanta. It is a huge loss for all of us. Great Masters become more powerful and influential when they leave the physical body. Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati will continue to be with all of us and inspire,...

ears and paw pads can get hot when they're excited and happy... What a pleasant suprise to find that this thread is about happy cats. I thought it was one of those troll posts about recipies for cooking kitties.

She pees on it constantly. I have cleaned the leather, used a citrus based cleaner to drive the cats away (We have a 3 cat household) and done various other things including pherenomes...no good! Scooter did not do this before we bought the couch. She will not pee any where else...aka other...

I know this is a topic that keeps popping up over and over again but it just goes to you that even during the holidays people still think about declawing their cats. Tonight at Thanksgiving dinner I was shocked to learn that a couple of guests (they are a married couple) who I had known for...

Cat health experts: Does anyone know if soy is good/bad/harmless for cats? This would include edamame, tofu, and maybe soy milk. Not soy sauce, though. And I'm not referring to soy mixed into cat food for bulk. I'm asking this question for a friend, so I don't know all the details. But she...

I've had a cat for some four years now. Recently I introduced into our home a 6 month old kitten. As a given....he is full of energy and likes to play. The older feline is game a lot of the time but there are times she is clearly annoyed and becomes angry. Wanting no part of his youthful...

I've got a problem in my new apartment (which is in an old building) with respect to bugs and am looking for some way of eliminating them that won't harm my two senior cats. I don't know much about bugs and don't know what these particular critters are. They are very small and never seem to get...
