Wendy
We have a 16 year old spayed female tabby, Tigger, who has a tendency to be
overweight. We got her down to 9 lbs. but this is still a little heavy for
her frame. It is imperative to keep her weight down as she has arthritis.
We also have a 1-2 yr. old long hair spayed female, Isabel. We...

Declawing: glad I took the time by
[email protected]
Well, I posted here many months ago regarding a stray that we decided
to spay and keep. She turned into a beautiful cat with a nice shiny
coat.
She's still outside, and she sleeps on the deck in a nice little
shingled house that I built for her. She's a good mouser, and we live
next to a...

KA Turner
Hello
I have a 7 yr old or so gray tabby cat at 16lbs, Big Boy, who has

Help! My cat is trying to live somewhere else. by
Iso
Why don't you try keeping your cat inside your home? That will probably
solve the problem of it visiting your neighbor's home and fighting with
their cat. Furthermore, it will solve the running away problem.

Wish Me Luck by
Karen M.
I'm taking Ernie into the vet this morning. He's been acting lethargic
since yesterday, walking a little funny in his backlegs. Maybe I'm just
being paranoid, but I'm not taking any chances! I'm worried about
blockage... :(
