My cats dreams (nightmares) by
Private
I was wondering what others do or anything you may have found on the
issue. I've looked for quite some time for an "official" answer on
this topic without anything...
My cat has occasional nightmares and I wondered if it is better to
wake him or let him stay asleep. I don't want to do him any...

Ear mite remedy? by
Ken Knecht
What is the recommendation for an ear mite remedy I can get
locally - Wal-Mart, pet shop, whatever. Mail or on-line takes
forever and shipping is usually higher than what you order. I
suspect if I go to the vet she'll want to see the cat - which
means an unpleasant drive with the cat and getting...

Anal sac question by
Cheryl
Shamrock goes back to TED Saturday for his healing Depo shot as his
allergies are really bad right now. Still no signs of fleas and after
3 years I think we can rule that out (flea treatment, combing, etc,
many other tests vet did). He eats a mainly canned food diet and
rarely touches dry except...

Sleepless in Seattle by
just call me J
Well actually London, England.
We adopted two 9 week old kittens seven days ago and have had a week
of sleepless nights. They sleep on and off most of the day and come
the night time they are fully awake and playing with each other,
wrestling and running up and down the hall way.
They are not...

Woman Let's Go Of Cat To Survive by
Cat Protector
A woman in this story due to the floodwaters caused by Hurricane Ivan
actually let her cat's cage (yes with the cat inside) go so she could
survive. This is horrible. It just goes to show you that some people care
more about themselves in a crisis situation. Her response about the whole
situation...

Lazy eye kitten by
guynoir
I just trapped a kitten whose right eye doesn't track with her left. Is
this a common condition? Will it clear up?
Anybody want to see pictures of an adorable wee little gray and white
kitten? Anybody want one?

Toothbrushes & Toothpaste For Cats by
Cat Protector
I am now attempting to get in the habit of brushing my cats teeth and am
wondering if I can use a regular toothbrush and what non-harmful toothpaste
I can use for them? I would buy the toothpaste they have at Petsmart but
they wanted a little too much money. Can our human toothpaste be used...

Cat and cat grass by
Paul O.
Does anyone really know what grass does for cats? I know that a dog will
chew on grass to maybe settle a stomach and probably for other reasons, so
maybe the same for cats. Our cat seems to want it regularly, begs for it.
Won't leave me alone till I go get him some. I have some growing in a...

Indoor cats:Quality of life (again) by
blair thompson
Wow! I think I started this thread...at least the most recent
incarnation of it a while back, on Sept. 2. I appreciate all the input
and suggestions.
Consensus was to get a pair of cats, and, if possible, have some sort
of screened enclosure so they could venture out, get fresh air, etc.
That's...

Possible solution for peeing problems by
dgk
There is an interesting article in today's Newsday (Sept 20), called
"Crate News for Solitary Kitties". No link because I can't find it on
the website yet. The thrust is that cats are primarily solitary
creatures and don't mind being put into a crate. Free access to a
crate, and even being locked...

Disturbing Incident by

Your shelter would rush a vet to the scene to take care of the animal? Or
send people out as fast as possible to get this cat some vet care?
I just want to put in a plug for the Arizona Humane Society (in Phoenix) which
allows me to answer "yes" to these 2 questions, at least. They have...

diarrhea by

What can I give my cat who has been on a month of antibiotics and has
explosive runny diarrhea?
Would yogurt or the acidophilus supplements help? If so, how much, and how
to administer?
Thanks.

Need low-protein cat food recommendations by
dtanyol
Hi cat people,
I have a 14-year-old male cat who was recently diagnosed as having
early-stage kidney disease. The vet's recommendation was to feed him
low-protein cat food, and she sold me a few cans of g/d (which, I
believe, is made by Hill's). This food has a protein percentage of
7.5%, which is...

Cat drags her rear across her scratching box by
Moe Hair
My mom's 7 year old longhair indoor (apartment) cat (she never goes
outdoors) has a corrugated scratching post on the floor, and for the last
2 weeks she occasionally drags her rear end across the cardboard.
I've seen her do it across the carpet once, too.
I know it's sometimes an indication of...

Purina Hairball Food by

So I'm sitting here at the computer checking e-mail and stuff while
eating potato chips and beer. Cat-Boy comes in and decides, as he
frequently does, that it's lap time. I decide it's time for a break
anyway, so I let him in my lap. But this time it appears he's more
interested in the potato chips...

Hi everyone. I've been lurking and you all seem to be so helpful to those
