I treated my foster cat yesterday with Frontline because I saw a flea in the carpet in her room and she was scratching. I thoroughly cleaned and vaccuumed the room. Today, I noticed a nickel-size bald spot on her, near where I applied the Frontline. I'm not sure if the spot is exactly where the...

I am currently looking for home for FelV+ stray, Big Boy, (about which I posted before). I have other cats who cannot be exposed to him so he is isolated. I get very conflicting info about one thing: I would be able to let him loose in my bedroom (instead of the attached bath & large dog...

I just complied a list of cat rescue groups in the Phoenix, AZ area for a co-worker who has a mom and baby kittens in her backyard. Unfortunately, she is not much of a cat lover and doesn't want to keep them or find homes for them. She only spotted them today so does not yet even know if they are...

I have a short hair indoor cat. He's about 6yrs old. On his back there is about 4 or 5 little clumps about the size of my thumb. It's matted and tangled. I tried to use a brush and comb but ts just too tangeled. Im thinking about trying to wash/shampoo it out. Last but not least I guess I can cut...

There's nothing actually *wrong* with Meep's eyes, at her last physical they tested her vision and looked at her eyes, but I've noticed a curious thing: One eye appears darker than the other in certain light (always the same eye) - is it possible for the tapus luteum (sp? the reflective bit...

Hello - I'm a somewhat frequent Usenet user, but never here. My parents have a cat that it's now time to put to sleep. He's about 14 years old and over the last month (or less) has ballooned up with fluid in the abdomen. The vet did a blood test (negative for any diseases) and then an...

Hey I just happened to be looking through the pictures on an eBay listing when up comes this really cute cat! Obviously pussy was feeling neglected while the owner was taking the pictures, so did what any neglected pussy will do - GET IN YOUR FACE!!! If you want to check it out, go to www.ebay.com...

A friend of mine is moving from Scotland to Norway soon with her cat and has to replace her current rather tatty carrier with a new IATA approved one. We were looking at them in a pet shop at the weekend and she liked the idea of one with an opening grill on the top as well as at the front grill ...

I am going to be replacing the carpet in my basement with something tough and durable like Berber given that I have a home gym in the basement. However I was wondering two things: 1) Whether my two cats will always be clawing the carpet and getting their claws stuck in the Berber "loops", or...

I just got a call from my son's best friend who lives about 1/2 a mile from here. She wanted to know if Levi was in the house (of course he is). There is a cat who looks just like him who, according to her mother, has been there for 2 days. The daughter just saw him and freaked, thinking it...

Hi everyone - it's me again. Millie has been home now for two days. She was spayed on Wednesday; the day before she received her shots. I don't think she has eaten since Tuesday night - I'm very worried. I called the vet today, they said to come in tomorrow to get some a/d food which should tempt...

Scapegoats and Feral Cats Working on the wheatbins at Mingenew, in the northern wheatbelt of Western Australia, in the early 80s, I witnessed the systematic slaughter of feral cats by high-powered guns. At an age where I'd grown out of the need to prove my passionate interaction with...

Hi, This seems to be the next chapter in the story of the foster cat, Victoria, whose litter was terminated during a spay operation. We also had a family of 4 kittens and mother in the dining room. Gradually, after she returned from the vet on Tuesday night, Victoria started to settle down. You're...

I was outside at about 9 PM working on my cats' pen when this handsome fella strolls up, meows at me, and plops down about 10 feet away. I thought he was probably someone's cat who got out because there aren't many strays or ferals in my town. The few that I know of hang out by the restaurants in...

I noticed that my cat, Amanda, who is just shy of 14 years old and has cardiomyopathy and the start of CRF was recently spending an inordinate amount of time scratching around in her litter box. I also had noticed she wasn't grooming quite as well as she used to (but it wasn't significant, and I...
