A year and 5 months ago we got a kitten from a local shelter. From day one it's been unclean, meaning ****ting and peeing outside the box, mostly this is taking place in the bathroom where he has two boxes. At some point he also started peeing in front of the front door, not very often though, just...

I hope there is someone out there who has had some experience (hopefully successfully), with splay legs in kittens. One of a litter of four born three weeks ago has hind legs that go out to the side, like a frog. He is able to walk and lift his abdomen up from the carpet, but his legs are weak. ...

Hi all, I am new here and wanted to get some feedback on whether other cats are like the one I adopted from the humane society. All we knew was that he was over 1 year old and was a stray. He is part persian, but without the scrunched up face, he is orange and white, very fluffy with pretty orange...

Hello, and pardon the long introduction, but I *will* get to the point eventually: Early last spring, a litter of kittens was born to a stray/feral cat (known to us as "Boo") in our semi-urban neighborhood (near Chicago). Two of the kittens ended up hanging around our yard, and after they killed a...

Spayed Female & Un-neutered Male... Would it work? Or would they fight all the time? Would the male be aggressive? Let me know if you've ever been in this situation. Thanks as always!

My female cat Tiger, who is almost 15 years old, has never been a very vocal cat. Recently, she'll be off sleeping somewhere and I'll hear her meowing. She'll continue talking until she finds me. Several times when this has happened we were both in the living room. She was asleep on the couch...

I keep meaning to call Meghan but we are so incredibly swamped we hardly have time to say hi to each other in our household, let alone set an appointment. I'll be calling her this week. Henry is drilling in as one of my favorite cats of all time (the 1-yr-old stray we adopted). He has a Nerml...

I screwed up trying to reply, so I'm resetting: "Monique Y. Mudama" wrote in message ... As near as I can tell, just about anything is normal cat behavior ... for at least one cat. Maybe your kitty is meowing for attention, but...

We just lost Bliss 2 days ago. I apologize first for this long post, but I think telling the story will help ease the pain. Bliss was a beautiful 7 year old Tortie - she was our first of 3 cats and she immediately bonded with me. My husband first noticed that Bliss was having breathing problems...

Sam was a rescue cat and is now enjoying the run of the house. The problem is with my other 2 cats. One of them hates Sam. Cinnamon will growl or hiss at him every time she sees him. This has been going on for more than 6 weeks. He is 7 months old and just wants to be friends with his...

Hi all, We have a 10 months old cat. And we recently got a puppy. Their introductions went well, and no hisses, growls, barking from any side. They normally sniff each other and run after each other. Our cat is 10.6 lbs and puppy(****zu mix) is just 4 lbs. Most of the time play gets a bit too...

I'm going to try to type up what transpired, but my daughter want the computer. First, you know how folks here have spoken of how little vets know about nutrition? I had a good lesson in that. Remember I was initially given a bag of the dry Hill's c/d. I asked about dry vs. wet and the vet...

Does anyone know why my female Norwegien Forest Cat ( 3yrs old) spends most of her midle of the night time collecting socks from ourlinen basket & bedrooms. She wanders around the house meowing loudly & depositing them all up the hallway. She has done this ever since we got her as a kitten. If I...

Does anyone have an opinion about Merrick canned cat food. It sure sounds like good stuff. It's suppose to be human grade, no preservatives. Right now she's eating Nutro Natural Choice canned kitten food. She's 10 months old and I'm thinking of putting her on the Merrick when she gets to be a year...

THREE days ago we took a feral female cat (about 1yr old) to be tested/vaccinated/spayed. We've been working with her outside for about 5 months. In the beginning we'd only see her once a week or so, and she always ran away. After she decided to follow us when we walk our dog, come when called,...

I adopted 2 litter mate brothers from a friend to replace my dog, who died about a year before I got the kittens, I wasn't ready for another dog, since I live alone, but I figured the cats could keep each other company while I'm at work. Anyway - Gizmo (the smaller one) will sit next to me meowing,...

Hi, I have a 4 year old female cat, and 2 male cats of the same age. The problem is the female cat, she has been neutered, as have the other two, and she was toilet trained when we brought her home at 12 weeks old. Over the last year she has begun weeing around the home, at first it was on...

I noticed several times this week that Isabella bites her toe nails. I trim each kitties nails at least once a month (I have hardwood floors) Several times I have caught her back foot in mouth just a bitting, I though maybe it was something stuck on her foot at first but then I noticed that you can...

Hi Can anyone help or explain this? I have 2 uneutered (through that is about to change) 21 month old black queen sisters who are utterly adorable except for one thing..... Sarrasine the smaller and shyer of the two (which is not saying much as they are both very confident kittens), does not...
