And am totally amazed at how both IBen, Cat Protector and some others need a good old fashioned spanking. Never have I heard children bicker so much as I have here. In the two days I have been reading I have learned a lot. I figure since I will mostly lurk from this posting on I will say what...

We just moved to a new house and I've decided to keep my orange tabby inside because the street is busier and he's been less friendly to cats visiting the yard lately, he got in a really bad fight at our old place! I like to leave the door open (with the screen door shut) so that he can look...

Hey, There's a whole load of stuff on the internet about this and I too was in the same dilemma and was given very incorrect, biased and basically ignorant information. I live in the UK, outer London (the suburbs, for the US readers) and there aren't many natural predators out there. Please read...

Bonnie, the feral, is more finicky an eater than Shadow is if that is possible. Her early days here proved that she needed whatever food she would eat, dry or canned. She ate kitten food (she was ~4-5 months old back in May) and was very skinny and sickly. She's very healthy now and has quite a...

Anyone else besides me have a cat that likes yogurt. I was enjoying my yogurt tonight and my 'child' tried to get up in my lap and take it away from me !! I put a little on the tip of my finger and she lapped it right up !!!

Hello all, First off - thanks for the info about the wet cat food (in the thread "Best wet food for cystitis"), we've got both our cats (only one has cystitis) on Science Diet now (the kitten won't eat the flavor of kitten Science Diet that we got, so we're feeding her the Adult 'til we can...

Hello, My cat was just put on heart medication and I attempted to give it to her this morning. She is not big on treats so putting it in cheese or bologna wouldn't work and she spit it out when I tried to pill her. I really stressed her out which is something the vet said shouldn't be done. Any...

Harriet, one of two cats at my job (bookstore) has been attacking my co-workers all day. I got to work at 11:00am and she was fine. The manager, who got here at 10am, said she was fine when she got in, too. During the early afternoon Harriet came downstairs (offices are in the basement) and was...

I'm no newcomer to cat ownership (being owned by a cat, that is) and have only spent two years of my life without a one. Recently we took in an abandoned 4 week old female kitten and like every other kitten I've raised, I lavished Five with love, affection, attention, lots of lap time...you...

My cat was having a bad gas problem, so (at the suggestion of a holistic vet) I started him on a diet of chicken breast and plain yogurt. He loves the diet, the gas has stopped, but he hasn't had a bowel movement in 60 hours. Should I not yet worry? Any easy cat laxatives? HELP!

Hello everyone. I am new to this board and have 2 adorable (VERY) and loving persian kittens that are now about 6 months old. (and 9 year old bunny) I figured there are plenty of experts on this board so i was hoping to get a question answered. One of my little guys, Cooper, occasionally is...

hi. i just wanted to say thanks to everyone for replying to my previous posting. i am embarrassed to admit that i was essentially ignorant to all the information you guys gave me. i knew that people were opposed to declawing, but until now i didn't know why. you guys gave me more that enough...

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...

here are some pictures of my cats most of the pics the kittens are 3-4 weeks old, the ones with them sleeping they are 2 weeks old, in the last picture you see the mother cat, Whitefoot. The little kitten, Sweetsie, doesnt get any justice with a solo picture, I ran out of film and took some pics...

From: "Joe Pitt" Has anyone used the Cat Attract litter? I bought some. Unfortunately, the cat I bought it for has no interest in it. My other cat, who likes sand/scoopable litter in general, preferred it over regular scoopable, but since she'll use either...

Hi, I've bought my cat some cat grass, it's about 3in high now and I think ready for him to eat. Do I leave it on the plant for him to munch or should I cut it off? Do I need to "mow" it and how long should the plant last? He's already helping himself to it and he seems to be enjoying it. What...

Just back from the vet's... she suspects a vaccine associated sarcoma. It has been 3 years since a rabies vaccine at this site. She is getting a consult from Cornell. We will be making an appt there for whatever treatment they suggest. Linda

With my husband's allergies and our soon-to-be-arriving baby that we will be cosleeping with, we made the decision a few weeks ago to keep the cats out of the bedroom. We are extremely happy with the decision and we are both breathing better at night (we are both slightly allergic to them). ...

I need some cat advice! I have two cats that, until about two months ago, were perfectly happy to go out and about. There are quite a few cats in the neighbourhood, and they all lived happily together. A big ginger tom cat has now appeared from somewhere (I think he lives a few doors down) and...

My dearest Nikita (the white one, below): http://www.kan.org/pictures/boing/SpiderCat_w.jpg is peeing inappropriately again. She lives with Tango (the large black male), my wife and me. Their relationship is generally good (?), but could probably be better. The usually get along, e.g. they eat...
