I'm a new first time cat owner who adopted a nice 1 year old male who for the most part is very happy and contented but certainly likes to push the limits. Not knowing better,I allowed the cat to roam mostly wherever it wanted when it first came home but now he wants to get in the way in the...

Why, oh why, doesn't the kitty-cat realise that my toes under the blanket are the same ones that are attached to my body? Last night, I must have moved in my sleep and got a wide-awake (= bored) cat attacking the greeblies in the bed. I can remember the teeth sinking into the flesh... Ouch! The...

Today I thought of a way that I can open my windows (it was 70+ degrees F today) without fear of the screens popping out. I've had two do that, years apart. One was during a "cat fight" between one of mine, and a stray, or wandering neighbor cat through a window one full story up off the ground....

This is a little on long side but want to give a little background. There is a neighbor that has several cats that roam the neighborhood of which one of them is (He says) about 11 years old and this is the one I am asking about. Earlier this summer they started hanging around because I was...

Many of you here know Meep, my 13 year old, spayed female only cat. She's not lived with another cat since I adopted her. She's a very quiet cat but still does get the rips on occasion. She's arthritic and on medication. She's a needy cat, and I keep thinking maybe another feline companion...

Took my cats to the vet for their annual checkup. Jessie who's at least 8 years old (we don't know how old she was when we got her from the shelter) weighs 9 pounds and the vet was very pleased with that. Oscar and Felix who are 2 year old brothers (gotten as kittens from a shelter) each weigh...

Hello. I have a sick cat who I've been monitoring vitals several times daily (he's been sick or going on 2 weeks now, in and out of the vet, tests, IVs, etc. - still working thru it). I have trouble using a rectal thermometer without help holding him, so when I am alone I've been using an...

We have a 6 yr old tabby who was recently introduced (February) to a new member of the house, a maine coon mix from the local shelter. He brought what appeared to be a cold home with him, which he transmitted to Pnut. During most of February, she was dealing with the effects of the cold or upper...

I got a sample of this food and my cats really love it. It's probably the only good quality dry food that they both like. I was wondering if there was any down side to this food other than the price, which is very steep. I will probably mix it with Wellness Indoor since I really can't afford to...

I was using Fresh Step, and found that there was little or no odor and it was easy to clean. Tried a corn-based one, but didn't like the smell. Went back to Fresh Step. Tried Arm & Hammer, but there was distinct Eau de Cat Box in the house and I found it very hard to scoop: it tended to form a...

Because of the holiday week-end my vet is closed till Tuesday (one more whole day!) as is ihe other vets I called and I am worried sick. My six year old male cat urinated Fri. a.m. and nothing else for the day.. He is acting perfectly normal, eating as usual but he had no BM. So Fri. I gave him...

I have to get my cat a collar and tags (in addition to microchip). She spends a few hours out side everyday and while she knows our block well, it would be safer for her to be ID'd. But here is what I am struggling with: The vet (@Banfield) gave us two tags after vaccinations that she should have....

A friend has a cat recently diagnosed with diabetes. They've experimented with a vast range of dosages, but even at a very high dose the cat is not improving. Their vet has thrown up his hands and said "nothing more we can do", though the younger vet on staff is suggesting to send the cat to...

We are paying a small fortune at the vet's for cat chews. (about $.50 each). The cat was a stray that needed a lot of special care to recover and these are easy on his system. They are cylindrical with the diameter of a man's little finger and about 1.5 inches long (4cm). They are large enough...

Anyone have any experience with oral tumors in cats? My Mom's cat Pinky lives with my sister now, and has a fairly large yellow tumor surrounding one tooth and onto the palate. It will be removed next week along with a bad canine and a dental cleaning. This is one sort of tumor I have absolutley...

For a long time I was under the impression that all completely orange (as opposed to calicos with some orange) cats were males, just as the vast majority of all torties are female. But I have several strays that hang out in my back yard, and I've seen what I believed to be an undersized male...

Oreo has been doing great since her last surgery. She is bouncing and playing and chasing. Oreo is a great pet for our family and brings so much joys to our us. http://kittykatclub.blogspot.com/

Hello! After the huge pet food recall I started looking into Organic Cat Food vs "regular" cat food. I have two cats and usually have foster cats. I volunteer at a no-kill cat animal shelter. It was worse than what I expected with the cat food. Even the top brands were full of crap. It is like...
