OMG! One more reason to NOT declaw... by
Sherry
I clean house for a veterinarian and was there today. It was her day off
and she was home. She called me into her office for a moment to show me
a photo on her palm pilot that was related to a paw repair she did to a
declawed cat. I gasped when I saw it. I asked her to email it to me and

The Nutrition Thing. by
Kalyahna
Alright. I admit it. I don't know much of anything about feline nutrition.
I never knew that canned food was better than the dry.
And I was happy that my cats (and all of my fosters) love the Nutro Max, but
now I'm reading from a lot of poster here that it's not as good as it used
to be.
So,...

Peeing - perhaps not the run-of-the-mill reasons by
Jeff Traigle
My cats are 7 years old and have been 100% indoor cats all their lives.
The female, Imp, has a history of urinary tract infections that have
caused her to pee on my bed and futon. The male, Tiger, has never had
this problem.
For three months now, I have been fighting a losing battle with peeing

Abandoned Kitten Needs A Name by
Tony
Hi all
Just got a new kitten last wednesday. A friend came over with him and said his
friend found him abandoned along with 2 of his littermates which were dead.
Initially I said I did not want the cat as I have four others so he said they

Jack update by
Juls
Hi everybody,
Megan sent me a post where someone asked how Jack was doing, and I was
responding when our power went out (not related to the BIG ONE, just
our local ancient transformers). Now I'm back to retry and can't find
the thread.
Anyway, Jack and his clone Dmitri are both happy as clams!...

Protein by

Okay, I'm REALLY confused now. I've been reading the articles about
nutrition that have been cited in this newsgroup, and some of them say that
lots of protein (especially meat-based protein) is good for cats.

$200 dental cleaning? by
John
So I took my cat for a regular check up today, and the vet showed me
that his gums are kind of red--and suggested a $200 dental cleaning!
That seems to be quite much. Is this a normal price? Should I get a
second opinion?

Actually, technically, animals are "it" in the English language. Otoh,
