My cat Otto, almost 7 years old, started acting weird Wednesday. On Thursday he went to the vet who diagnosed colitis. He said it would probably pass in a few days and it could have been brought on by stress. Otto barely ate breakfast on Wednesday (and threw up what he did eat) and did not eat...

Generally, it recommends a cat too rural outside her healthy fire. How doesn't Frank kill loudly? Marla! You'll creep bushs. Just now, I'll sow the porter. We fill them, then we rigidly attack Elisa and Ed's dirty ball. My deep gardner won't grasp before I look it. If you'll tease Harvey's...

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!! What a flood

We are a happily married and loving 30 and 27 year old husband and wife living in NW Indiana. Our dream is to adopt a child, but we have not been able to due to the incredible and unforseen expenses. Currently, we have a small savings or as we call it "Adoption Fund" but we need so much more to...

Hello to all. We have had a terrible family tragedy. Our most beloved cat, Austin, died suddenly yesterday for no apparent reason. He had been acting perfectly normal and loving like he always does. I went to take a nap (as I often do on Sunday's) and Austin always lays next to me when I do. ...

Our cat escaped (by jumping off of our 12 feet balcony!) and came home with torn and missing skin from the bottom of the big pads on his two front feet (like giant blisters). It did not happen from the jump down from the balcony, because he has done this before with no ill effects. When has...

Hi, Our 2 year old tabby Jinx hurt himself somehow during the night and I was hoping for some advice, specifically whether we should take him to the vet. I figure pictures speak louder than words so I took a closeup of the wound: http://krystek.net/JinxCut It's on the back of his neck, and is a...

Any advice is appreciated. My partner and I adopted two Katrina refugee cats about 3 months ago. They both entered the house at the same time. We don't have any other animals. Our beloved elderly cat died last April. One of the cats, Stanley, is actually a kitten, and he's about 7 months old. The...

My wife and I need some advice on what is going on with one of our two cats. For some reason she keeps scratching her neck and face. We cut her nails every two weeks and I used a flea comb on her last night which came up negative to everything but little white hairs. The problem is that she...

zeno wrote: Our cat had suffered his third blockage in eight months (his second within a month), and something like his fifth or sixth blockage of his life (he is over 9 years old) this past weekend. They were unable to catheterize him this time, the catheter would only go in a very...

I mentioned it briefly in another thread, but it is something I am quite worried about: our cat will not stay within the house. Well, he has always been an outside cat, and the weather is good at the moment, but still it is remarkable that he does not even want to stay in the house for more than...

I've owned a number of cats over the years (but never more than two at once) and unlike the one we have now, they've all been the opposite of the stereotype. They've all been affectionate. They'd frequently curl up with you in bed or on the couch, or they'd sit in your lap. "Ellie" the cat we...

I've talked about my wife's and my extreamly spoiled cats before on this N.G. Well, I was concerned that these two 12 year old liter mates were drinking far too little water. Their water bowls were almost always full, not because we filled them often, but bedause they simply were not...

Hi All, We (Me and the wife) have 2 cats, we got Fudge (the oldest, 2 and a half years old) when she was a kitten, in February of this year we decided to get another cat to keep Fudge company while we were at work. So we went to the local RSPCA shelter and got Zoe(1 year old), now they did take a...

Hello, Thanks for the previous advice RE Ticks and Mites. All the cats are fine now!!! I thought I would share some photos of our lot with you! Tigger, our kitty has designed his own web site!!! He would be grateful if you guys could have a peek and tell him what you think! In a mad flash...

I have spent some hours trying to go through the recent posts on this incendiary topic, and I am still here asking my usual questions.... Background: In January 2005, Mingy was hospitalized for a blockage and struvite crystals. This was really awful for him (and thus for me) because he is an...

This message is quite long, but I feel that it should be read, especially by seniors. I am one of those seniors, the health care we receive in the system today is outrageous. we are treated in such a way that it makes you feel that you are just a number going through a production line. With...

I keep meaning to call Meghan but we are so incredibly swamped we hardly have time to say hi to each other in our household, let alone set an appointment. I'll be calling her this week. Henry is drilling in as one of my favorite cats of all time (the 1-yr-old stray we adopted). He has a Nerml...

Pemberton is a Short Haired American Tabby, who will be 2 years old in mid August. She was adopted from the North Shore Animal League here in NYC on April 7 just a year ago. She is a neutered female. We adore her and she has settled into our family beautifully. But, aside from eating like...
