My cat (DQB) had been tearing up my furniture (as well as my patience) by clawing everything, particularly when I would have to be being out of town for two or three days at a time. My friends Ken and Kathy told me about the success they had with declawing their equally destructive cat so I...

We had two cats, a male and a female for a few years and never had a problem with them using the litter box. Occasionally the male will deficate on a rug near the box if it isn't absolutly perfectly clean. (This only has happened a few times) Both animals are neutered/spayed. About a year ago, our...

I am normally an "Outside cat" person, and my five cats are all outside/inside cats. (they have two cat doors through which they can get outside the house) I have gone around and around with inside catters several times now, and I don't want to renew that discussion. However, recently one of my...

Hi all, After my noticing increased urination, my 15 year old male DSH was just diagnosed with diabetes this morning (after blood and urine tests). He is still a healthy cat, so I guess he can't have had it for long. His coat is shiny, he is not underweight, and he is lively and playful. So, at...

Went to see him this morning. He's on an IV. He actually looks better I guess from the fluids but now he's weaker - and he's not eating. He ate a few pieces of tuna and chunky chicken off my fingers but that was it. He wanted to eat but it seemed like it was too much of a bother. My vet...

I recently rescued a kitten estimated at 6 months old. She has been spayed, vaccinated, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV (snap test). My concern is that if she has been recently exposed, it could be too early for an accurate test. She has been isolated from my other kitties in a spare bedroom for...

One of my fosters was found outside very pregnant. She delivered 5 kittens within a week. She weaned them abruptly at 5 weeks and the next day got sick herself and stopped eating or drinking. She had an Intusseption. The vet did a bowel resection and removed around 11" of Ileum. They sent her home...

I just checked my records with Ka' Shays birthday yesterday it seems that another Happy times is to be announced. Rumble has been officially off Insulin for a year and has had his diabetes under control using a Fancy Feast diet. The gods and goddess play a strange part in our lives for if...

This thread is being repeated as it "disappeared" from several newservers with some idiot flames and other irrelevant stuff snipped out. === This thread is being repeated as it "disappeared" from several newservers with some idiot flames snipped out.

Remember that pic that everone has seen with that girl holding that big, huge kitty? Most people assumed it was photoshopped but, actually, according to snopes.com, it's real and they have additional photos of the girl and her cat, Riley, I think, posted there. But here's another big one, also...

Thanks to all who are are trying to help. I just made her a cardboard nest box so she can get into it if she wants. While I was making the box another kitten just came out dead. I hate to call the city pound and have her picked up because they will probably just euthanize her. I haven't had any...

Well the kitten is no longer bleeding in his stool however he still has potty issues. I did notice that his butt was deformed, and his butt bleeds. Talked with the local humane society and they suggested it may be Manx Sydrome, which is a birth deformority caused by the fact he has such a stubby...

2 faced kitten called Gemini born in Roseberg, Oregon on Sunday 12th June. I'm not sure if it's simply being reported more often or it is happening more often due to environmental toxins or inbreeding. In this case the owner claims to be breeding miniature cats, not sure if it's a genetically...

We've had one cat for about a year and got a new one in October. They survived through December with one box and no problems. In January, we moved the location of the litter box. The reason for this was because we kept it in a back room that was cold and by keeping the door closed, we'd spend...

Hi, I having been lurking on the edge of this group for a few weeks now too, so thought it might be time to introduce myself as well.. My name is Kitty, short for Katherine, & I live in the UK & I have 4 cats to keep me company day & night because I work from home. Their names are Binky Birman,...

Hi all, I know this is a common question - but I haven't really seen an answer that I think will work. My kitty is 11 months old (we have had him for 3 months) he has adapted really well to us. Recently he has started meowing as soon as the sun comes up. He has full rein of the house and just...

One of my cats mainly gets Purina Pro plan dry after it is placed in a zipper sandwich bag, filled with 50% water, sealed, and let saturate before refrigerating. Take some practice to get the mixture correct. Been doing that for 7+ years. About a year ago, I discovered another method that is...

I just introducted another male kitty whom I named "Sunshine" American short-haired (18 wks old/beige & white) into my brood of two other male cats. Pebbles (orange) is my oldest cat; he's 6 years old & is not too happy with his new buddie as yet. But then again Sunshine has only been with us...
