Hi all, I'm off to the vet in a few hours, we got the first free slot, but I thought I'd see if anyone here has any advice on what we might expect there so we can prepare if necessary, like by setting up a secluded box-bed for our cat or anything. A few days ago I noticed that our cat's middle...

A half-digested dead mouse after the cat has threwn up on your carpet ...

Okay, here's what I have experienced thus far: We found a spot where Rutherford (my ever-so-****ing-on-the-floor cat) had been spraying and squatting over and over, and we got some of that "Nature's Miracle" stuff. We wasted our money on that stuff - it didn't work at all. Tonight, after spending...

Does anyone know where I can buy beautiful kitten shirts?

Hi, Buster is a year and a half old shelter cat. He had a home at one point, lost it (this is a college town, with the usual horrible college-town pet dumping problems), was in the wild for an unknown period, and got hit by a car, which ironically turned out to be his salvation. He was rescued...

Illinois village going to the dogs Oak Park, IL, Sep. 14 (UPI) -- The Village Board of Oak Park, Ill., has increased the number of dogs that can live in a single-family residence from two to three. The town's two-dog per house limit had not changed since it was enacted in 1904. A woman who owns...

Can anyone recommend a good air cleaner/filter for removing litter box smell? Background: I have two cats and one of them refuses to cover her "deposits" in the box. I clean the box twice a day and one of the cats refuses to use a littermaid automatic box. Hence, I have litter box smell between...

Hi, You guys (especially kaeli) have given me such great advice before...it's all worked, really well. Now we're entering Phase 3, I guess. For those who didn't catch it earlier, I'm going through the transition from having an elderly, clingy, and very mild cat to having the cat equivalent of a...

Hi All: Another update on Rutherford the Brave, the floor-****ing and wall-spraying cat... Last night I caught him squatting RIGHT after I cleaned the litter box (about two hours after) in the 4 foot area that he has destroyed in our living room with his urine. I feel that he MUST have known he...

I rescued a male tabby cat and he lives in my home with my two resident females. I did everything by the book as to how to introduce them. Kept him in the room for weeks, slow introductions. When they finally did meet the male violently attacked my older female. Weeks later he attacked...

It has been over a year now since I lost my precious kitty named Bacardi. It broke my heart the day she was hit by a car, and everyday since. How do you get over something that you love so much? I've recently adopted another cat and named her Phoebe, now she is everything to me, but I still...

With my home-made rockets.Unfortunately, 100% of rockets flew into the garden of my neighbour and the kittens were eaten by his pitbulls. Woof!

From: How do you get an investigation of animal cruelty? I reported it on or about August 20 to the police, but it still has not been investigated. Their pathetic excuse for an animal control officer (John List*r) won't investigate complaints, esp. if one of his buddies is...

I have the Littermaid but saw the new Performa box at Petsmart. Anyone have experience with this and how it compares with Littermaid? Adam

I have a semi-indoor cat. I want to make her an outdoor one so I don't have to worry about her escaping through any of the many exits(patio doors, conservatory, etc). I live in a cat-friendly neighbourhood but my cat six months old has only been out on a liesh thrice a week on average for about ten...

I'm trying to figure out what color to call my kitten I know it's a little silly but I'm used to horses and every color combination has a specific name and I can't seem to find that name for his color. I have a picture at http://www.umich.edu/~techess/cats/nita2.jpg but his color doesn't really...
