I am at my wits end with my co-worker's neglect of her cat. For a month now her cat has been very sick and she refuses to take him to the vet. I hardly know this girl and I've never met her cat. She says that the cat has constant diarrhea (pure liquid with blood and mucus), the cat is lethargic,...

One of my cats has just recently (within the past 8-12 hours) taken up digging. She's tried to dig up the bathtub, the front door, the door to the basement, and the bathroom sink so far. As I write this she has just finished a 10-15 minute tub digging tour, and she is now stretched out in the tub...

How the hell am I supposed to know if Jasper needs pain meds or not? I do *not* want to drug him out so I have been very conservative with them. He is not showing any signs of pain, but as we all know, they don't like to! I figure the pain meds, though they will help his mouth feel better, will...

I have come to the conclusion that cats will byte out of affection. I was laying down, and rubbing Ruprechts neck, and outlining his shoulders with my fingertips, you know...he was drueling...lol... While I was continuing the same general non-chalant affection, around hisneck and shoulders... he...

Sometimes I will wink at a cat and it will wink back, same eye. Is it copying me, does it mean anything? Do cats communicate with people this way? I have noticed this with lots of cats throughout the years, my sister too. Any ideas?

Those of you who have been reading the group for a while know that we lost our beloved tuxedo girl last March to cancer, and have been giving ourselves time to grieve before adopting another. My husband had his heart set on a baby, but I have always adopted adults (figuring most people want...

Lilly the birman is feeling somewhat better, but unfortunately she came home with a dose of the flu. Even though every single one of our cats is inoculated against cat flu, they seem to be dropping like flies:o( Lilly is on antibiotics, & I have an appointment to take Belle, the mother of our 4...

Hi. I was just wondering if there are any safe fruits or veggies that I could feed to my cat. Everytime I eat she begs for food, and of course I don't give her any, but I still feel bad and I was wondering if there's anything that I could give her as a treat once in a while so she doesn't fell like...

My cat is male and about 13 years old. About 2 weeks ago he started having diarrhea with really watery eyes (might not be related...about 4 times a year he'll get the runny eyes for about a week). He also licks himself "down there" so much that he's lost hair on his tail. Since then we've taken...

I have to give my cat his dose of flea drops every month but he absolutely hates it and will just run away when he realises whats going on. He basically hates any fluid, plus the drops also seem to irritate his eyes. I've tried various different methods of giving them to him, without any...

Hi, I posted a short while back about my cats suddenly developing diarrhea (and vomiting) in reaction to their usual Innova diet. I've been since experimenting with other brands (Burns, California natural, etc) and after a month of this insanity, I finally try Royal Canin's formula for Sensitive...
