Hardest Day of my Life by
Rockinghorse Winner
Last saturday, I had to put down my companion and friend of 15 years,
Henry. He developed advanced kidney failure. Symptoms began on Monday
and by Thursday he wasn't eating or drinking. Henry was the mildest,
most retiring cat. He ran from anyone or any animal except for his
person (me). ...

Cleaning Used Cat Tower by
Cat Protector
I just received a used cat tower and was wondering if it is truly safe for
my cats? I was told that it would be ok to bleach it before giving it to my
cats. Has anyone else here ever gotten a used tower and safely been able to
allow their cats to use it? I saw that one of the cats in this home...

sudden death - does "stroke" diagnosis sound right to you? by
Big Al
Hi folks -
I am just heartbroken. My beloved cat died very suddenly, quickly and
unexpectedly about 48 hours ago. I'm doing some web surfing to try to
make sense of what happened.
She would have been 15 years old next month, and she was perfectly
healthy, no history of any health problems,...

Keeping kitty interested in wet food by
Corey Kaye
Lizzy has lost a pound and a half in the 18 months she's been living in
my house. The vet pronounced her "perfect" after the results of a blood
panel, fecal and exam, and suggested I try supplementing her with her
wet food.
I started feeding her what I had on hand--Innova. She liked that for...

Kitten behavior by
Teralyn
I am new to this and need some help. I have a 7 month old male kitten.
He is beautiful and affectionate. When he gets in my lap and does that
"kneading" thing that cats do, his claws are partially out and it
HURTS. Is this normal? Is there a way I can make him stop?
TIA for any help

Behavioral Problems by
Jenta
I am looking to get a new kitten since my Snickers passed away on Feb
5, 2007. I was speaking with a lady that is selling kittens. I was
telling her that my family normally declaws all the paws. She was
telling me that declawing all the paws on cats can alter their
behavior with the litter box and...

Curious new behavior by
Lynne
Levi has a somewhat odd (to me) new behavior. He's digging. Everywhere!
He's not using his claws, just digging away. It's cute, but I'm wondering
what is motivating him. He does it on the bed, on the carpet, on the glass
door, and maybe other places. This started happening just before he...

Female Improper Urinating... Wits' End... by
Smartin
We've had a tortie for most of her eight years of life. For most of that
time we've had a Siamese male as well. Over the last three years we've
taken in three strays, one of whom ran off last summer, leaving us with
four of the little dears. Two males, two females, ranging from two to
eight...

Looks like it's the end for Al by
mdsu
I just received very sad news. My cat, Al, most likely has lung cancer.
I've had
Al 14 years. I got him from a shelter in Ohio on Aug 2, 1992. At the
time I got
him the shelter staff estimated Al's age at between 1-2 years. So Al is
between
15-16 years old.
He has diabetes, asthma, and...

Strange bump on kitten - update by
Lynne
Levi saw the vet this morning for another booster. The bump is definitely
from his last injection--he said that can persist for up to a month. It's
smaller now, too.

Here we go again. I've posted my troubles with my own cats and if other
people post their troubles using my name (Barb) it's going to look like I
have double the trouble that I do.
I know. Someone is going to post "Get a life." Who will be the first?

Of course I don't look busy,

The vet is going to come to the house and help Peewee cross over.
He's weak, skin and bones, and suffering - it's time. He still has
some quality of life, will purr when I hold him or scratch his head,
and still likes to go out with the dog, but isn't eating much and is
weak. I can't let him...
