First when was the last vet check you may need to rule out a urinary tract infection. IMO it is more healthier for him to drink tap water. If it was unhealthy a person would not be able to drink it. There are so many reports of people only drink bottle water and the tooth decay is higher in...

How many newsgroup readers does it take to change a light bulb? 1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed. 14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently. 7 to caution about the dangers of...

My crazy cats have been peeing on the air cond/heating vents in our house since we moved in.It's driving us crazy and we don't know what to do!! Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this, or is this unique occurence from my kitties?

My cat is white and tends to shed far more hair than my previous black/white and mixed fur cats have. Do white haired cats shed more or is it just that it notices more. i.e do I have to give up wearing coloured clothes ;-) She's not too keen on being brushed/combed either A few pictures...

I'm skeptical that expensive cat food brands like Science Diet are worth the money, health and nutrition-wise, over brands like Purina One. Is this a "boutique" type issue, where those who shop at expensive, organic grocery stores for human food (e.g. Whole Foods, EarthFare, etc) also tend toward...

I've owned my cat for three months now. Before, he was simply too young to reach the kitchen countertop, so he'd clamber up on shelves every once in a while. Now he's a bit older and more agile, so my husband and I catch him up there quite frequently. I don't approve of this behavior as it is...

My 16 year old cat was recently diagnosed with kidney disease. The vet had me switch his food to Hills K/D, and told me to give him a baby aspirin every other day. He doesn't seem to get filled up on the cat food, and the vet suggested that I not feed him canned food. Fortunately, all his blood...

I thought you might like this story from a TV/Book writer who posts on another board. I recently lost a cat that I'm still very sad about. It is good to hear these kinds of stories. Bill _________________________________________________\

I love these things. They have catnip and some have crackly stuff in them. Our latest: Hillary Clinton and Arnold Schwarzenegger. :) (Petsmart was out of George Bush, and Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich have been retired. Bummer!) Being a true Democrat, I got both so I could see which way my cats...

Good morning, everbody! I have been on a quest to find a new Bengal kitten to "entertain" my resident 4 year old Bengal girl and I have a male silver spotted Bengal coming my way on March 13th. The breeder is very sweet and she seems to take VERY good care of her cats (she lives 12 hours away...

Hi Group, Hope you can give me some advice. About a month ago I took in a cat that had once belonged to someone I know. She had pretty-much stopped caring for the cat. I felt bad and took the cat into my care. When I got the cat she was very thin and had an abscess on her behind. It is near...

This whole situation is in the past, but I'm still looking for answers. I'm interested in knowing why giving a 12 y/o, indoor only cat 100 mL of Sub-Q fluids twice a week would cause him to become sluggish and stop playing (his playing involved running around the house). About a month prior, all...

Hello, I have a problem and needs some advice. I have two Abyssinian's, one about 6 months older than the other. The older is a male, the younger a female (both de-sexed). We've had both from kittens. These two have been best of friends of 2 years, playing together, sleeping together, meow for...

How much do kittens grow from 6 months to a year? Except for Maine Coons (who can keep growing for up to 5 years - although with Sammy it's mostly sideways growth ;) - how long do cats keep growing. I'm asking because Ozzy is now at 10 pounds. His bro-fur Archer is only 7.5. -- Hugs,

How do i share my cat photos on Google groups

Has anyone been reading the comic strip "Sally Forth" lately? The story line is that their cat "Kitty" is very sick, has an impacted colon, and requires an operation that will cost $3400. Sally and her husband are trying to explain this their daughter and that they probably are not going to have...

I have a cat about ten years old, neutered male, diabetic controlled by insulin. A few minutes ago he started crying as if he were in pain and his hind legs went out from under him. He seemed to be paralyzed in the hind quarters. While we were trying to figure out what was wrong, he defected then...

We have litter trays for our 2 cats,..one is a 5 yo desexed caramel coloured short-hair male, the other is a little 7 mo non-spaide black and white short hair female who we keep inside untill she is neutered.. The male is fairly good, and uses the litter most times, but the female usually takes...
