We are still upset and shocked. Fifi, our 3 year old chinchilla, fell out of our kitchen window on the 4th floor. She landed badly, and dislocated her right back leg at the hip joint and also broke her right foot. It was 1am when she slipped. Luckily, we have a 24hour vet at the pet shop we bought...

I have heard alot about how good Nature's Miracle is for pee odor and stains so I tried it since my 18 year old siamese female(who has always been a very good cat) started peeing in the corners of my living room and of course I have carpeting. So I tried Nature's Miracle and used a whole bottle (I...

I just got back from my vet a few hours ago who determined that my cat has a large abdominal tumor, says it's definitely advanced and combined with other symptoms (loss of appetite - I could only get her to eat about a tablespoon of wet food this morning - fever and listlessness) is recommending I...

Hi, we have a 3 yr. old cat. For the first 2 1/2 yrs. of his life, he has never been outside... we lived in an apartment, and the closest he could get was on the second floor porch, with no route to outside. Now we own a house with about 1.5 acre or so, a portion of it wooded and brush. Question...

I am in a very bad situation here and need to get out of this house. I won't bore you with all the details, but I will be going into a women's shelter for a short time until I can find work and get settled again...no cats allowed... :-( What I need is someone to take my two boys for that time....

My almost 17 1/2 year old feline companion is generally in good health (confirmed by the vet within the past year). This summer he periodically has trouble walking, but it usually only lasts for a few minutes to a half hour or so (depending on what he's doing). Lately he periodically has trouble...

For those following the sick Pee-wuss... He has been home since Sunday PM. Was happy to be home (puur-machine), but pretty sickly. Won't each much, but was able to keep a little down Sun PM. and Monday. This AM actually pooped (yea!!) so doesn't seem to be blocked - passed what may be part...

Help - A stray cat recently had a litter of kittens in our garage. We have decided to raise them until they are old enough to give away. At about 2 weeks old, we noticed that their tails and feet were covered with scabs. The tips of two kittens tails have actually fallen off. This is my first time...

Just found 2 orphaned/abandoned kittens outside one of our basement windows (the mother was there last night when we first discovered them, and there were 5, but she moved 3 and hasn't come back for these 2). I have received some advice & supplies from my vet, but they seem to not want to eat. ...

A big cheer for Weebles' meowmie for providing TLC for weebie and for continuing to look out for mammkat and other babies.

I am the owner of three cats - one is a domestic longhair 8 yrs old, and the other two are domestic shorthairs 2 yrs old (siblings). I also own two dogs, ages 8yrs, and 8 months. All are female, and all are spayed. Each cat - of course - has a unique personality. One of the 2 year olds has me...

For the last week or so, my 3 year-old female cat has been spending the entire day and night lying on one surface, leaving the spot only to eliminate and eat. She'll spend three or four days at each location before moving on to another place. I sealed off access to certain parts of my living...

Hi, My neighbours mistreated then abandoned a 8 week-old(?) kitten. I like the little guy, but he's kind of a handful and gets into feisty play (I try to play with him but I also have to work at home) such as scratching, biting, jumping onto my neck, biting and scratching my ears, neck, and...

"liv" wrote in message ... I seem to have a small kitten on my hands (9 weeks or so). I remember there being some issues with using a scoopable litter with kittens. What is the current thought on this, and is there a ...

Greetings: One of my indoor kitties peed in the laundry room near the litter pan. This was discovered after the copious amount of urine had sat for several hours and seeped into the concrete floor. This is unusual behavior, and my guess is he is reacting to the sounds of the dogs who recently...

Jack and Rizzo have, to my mind, have always gotten along well. Their play is rough-and-tumble, but has never been marked by hissing, growling, or injury. Last night, Jack comes tearing into the living room with the fur on his spine standing up and his tail puffed out. He is quite obviously...

My cat Webster has brown eyes but the other 6 cats that I've had had green eyes. I know that Siamese cats and some other cat breeds have blue eyes but I've never seen a cat with brown eyes before. Have you? Zoe

I would greatly appreciate input from this group on an ongoing problem with my 10-year-old cat. She has always had a vomiting problem (yes, she is given Petromalt for hairballs), but it seems to have worsened in the last few months. She is also experiencing diarrhea. I have made more than half a...

Could I please have some advice and suggestions? My two cats were best of buddies for about 10 years, when the male died. I replaced him right away with a 2-year-old male from the shelter. Tried to pick a "laid back" one, but it looks like I guessed wrong. Sully, it turns out, is a very...

All cats should wear proper identification. A pet id tag is the best way to ensure that if your cat is lost, it is returned to you. Many municipalities are required to hold an animal with a cat tag longer than an animal they find without identification. Easy to order pet tags...
