At the risk of finding out a zillion of you out there have a cat who can do this, the feral cat I adopted is now 6 months old and has the most unusual talent: she *chirps* when she sees birds through the window. I'm not kidding you. The cat makes a bird-like sound. Really, how common is this? ...

sorry this is a bit long ... Well, I blithely said I was giving my cat oral medication - huh!! she's on a course of medication which comes one week on one week off, and the first week I managed to get most of it into her via her food, but by the last meal she rejected it out of hand, and it sat...

I am helping a semi feral cat and from being very very skinny a few months ago he is now putting on some weight. I have my own cat and I manage to give it Drontal Cat by crafty deception, but the stray one will not be deceived. Any ideas other than these which have not worked; hiding small...

My cat never bothers to lick himself, no matter how dirty he gets. He has been doing this since he was a kitten, and it is becoming a problem because he's very, very affectionate but smells terrible. He won't clean himself after using the litterbox, which often results in a mess. Bathing him is...

Hi, I have a kitty who is very affectionate and likes to cuddle. Problem is he will only do so under very specific circumstances. If I sit in bed with my legs under the covers, he will crawl up into my lap and stay there for hours; However, this appears to be the only time he's ever in a...

Hey Everyone, This is my first time posting and I need a little bit of advice. I have a five year old neutered male named Eddie. He is a strictly indoor cat, but does venture out on the balcony. I noticed the other day that his right front paw was being held up and he had a limp. The limp was...

Louis the Bengal will attempt to eat anything that remotely resembles food. So far, this hasn't been an issue. Our own theory is that he fancies himself still wild, and scavenging, just to be contrary. The other night, I found him chewing on a capsule of 5-HTP that had fallen out of the bottle...

My friend's cat (male, healthy & not overweight)has been diagnosed with (the first visit to the Vet's)a 'sorta' cold and that the cat was probably fighting it off on its own so no drugs advised. Two weeks later (2nd visit to same vet)antibiotics were administered as symptoms - runny right eye...

Hi, I am hoping someone here can give me some advice. We have 3 cats: Ozzie (male) who is now 4 years old, and FooFee and Lilly (females) who are 3 years old. Ozzie came to us when he was 4 weeks old, he was found wandering in the forest. He was starved, hard to say how long he had been...

Hello All, I've never posted to this group, but I need some input... One of my cats has arthritis and the vet gave me some drops to administer called metacam. He told me the drug is really for dogs, but they have had great results with cats. I did a little research on this drug and it...

Hi. My 14-year-old cat has arthritis in his lumbar spine and a meniscal knee tear or chip. The vet gave me some glucosamine, a large tablet size, to mash up in his food. However, he won't eat his food with it in there, doesn't like the taste. Remidyl (sp?) is not available for cats or I would try...

My girlfriend's cat has asthma and she's had a difficult time treating it successfully. The cat has at least two attacks per day lasting anywhere from a few seconds to about a half minute. She is using homeopathics given to her by the vet of her choice with the option to move into more potent...

I just recently started feeding a stray cat. Actually i believe he is still a kitten. But his head is extremely large & he seems like he was starved...He eats more then my 15 pound cat! Im wondering if he was either starved or sick? I cannot have another cat unfortunately. I also wonder if he was...

I am writing this for my Mom, she does not compute! She has an approx. 6-8 mo. old male neutered cat. The last few weeks he has started screaming when he has a bowel movement, he is not constipated, occasionally it is a little loose and he gets it all over the bathroom, he has no other symptoms...

I have had Sienna since April and have not been able to keep her stool firm for more then 2 weeks. I started her with Wellness dry, then Before Grain dry, then Science Diet DD, which she lasted the longest on, then after I opened the 2nd bag, she started throwing up and would not eat it. The vet...

My poor old kitty is at least 13--maybe older, because we adopted him from a shelter 11 years ago and the shelter and vet both said he was at least 2 and maybe older). He had lost a little weight during the summer, but he looked healthy. Then about a month ago, he started going downhill fast. He...

Hi all, We recently adopted a cat from the local cat rescuer. We knew she wasn't a healthy cat - we don't know how old she is, and she has bad diarrhea unless she takes steroids every day. Funny shaped - she's got a big pot belly. She also has bad dandruff. However, the woman said that the vet...
