Our 2nd oldest cat (7 yr) was just diagnosed with diabetes. Our problem is she is a feral rescue and only allows 1 hand on at a time. We have to hospitalize her for antibiotics for bladder infections. There is no way we can administer insulin 2ce a day without caging her permanently and making...

Cecil is a 5 month-old kitten who was found in Greenpoint. Someone had bound him with a cord or wire so tight that it cut into his neck, opening wounds that became badly infected. He also has other medical issues and tomorrow goes in for a consultation with an opthalmologist to discuss repairing...

I wondered if someone could tell me what's going on he My cat is on an antibiotic. At first I would mix it with a little canned food - a real treat for him. He'd run right over and gobble it up. He did that for a few days. Then he started turning his nose up at it and I switched to tuna...

I'll be going away in August and my former cat sitter (Crittercare) appears to have gone out of business. There are plenty of similar people in Manhattan but I can't find any that do Queens. Anyone know someone? Asking a friend to come by once or twice a day for a week is a bit much and I'd rather...

Hi folks, My cat, a VERY strong, 15-pound male, has an ear infection and I have to give him two separate liquid treatments for the next ten days. Oh joy. The problem is how to hold him still enough to be able to give him the treatment. I live alone, so it's just me against a very strong cat. My...

It is my favorite free graphics viewer. But, for years now, the default icon for IrfanView is an image of a run-over cat. You can even change to a similar icon that shows the tire treads. As much as I like the software, I am concerned that icon sends the wrong message, especially to children. A...

Q, my first cat, passed away last week aged 15. I had him when he was small enough to fit in the palm of my hand and he was my first pet. As a youngster he got out one day and was run over resulting in a smashed pelvis and 6 weeks of hand feeding in my spare room during which point he bonded with...

I've had a local stray hanging around for the last few months and it's always got scars and scabs around it's head and face. Obviously was someone's pet as he will let me pet him although never stay too close, my other cats don't mind him either when he joins them for food. This morning I got up...

Sometime ago, I had a posted a question about how much to feed a cat. The response I rememebr (from Phil and others) was 20 Kcal per lb of body weight per day, for a neutered adult. So, for a 5 lb cat it would be 100 Kcal per day. However, it struck me that the calculator...

The following page has a lot of relatively recent nutritional info on canned foods: http://www.geocities.com/jmpeerson/canfood.html Perhaps some of you knwo about it but it was new to me. Now my only question to those who can read and interpret these numbers is, which ones are good, or let's say...

I was just wrapping up downloading some pics from my camera when sammy, my little mom cat got on my lap and started kneading. 'Figured it was as good a time as any to put her on video. See Sammy Kneading in alt.binaries.pictures.animals

I am going to get a cat door installed in near future. Appreciating all the feedback a few months ago, I am trying to decide between these two models: Petsafe Ultimate (Small): opening 4.25" x 7" Petsafe Classic (Small): opening 5" x 7" The Ultimate costs a bit more and I am sure it is...

Would you all be kind enough to look at these numbers: http://www.geocities.com/jmpeerson/canfood.html and help me select which canned foods are "good"? I am sure many will benefit from the list.

I have a six month old cat by the name of Benny. While he has just been desexed and his behaviour has improved, he was showing some fairly strange behaviour as a kitten. From about two months he would come up and sit on my lap then pee on me. Also he has been known to do this while i have been...
