When Harriet began having constipation problems over the summer, the first vet she saw gave her Eukanuba Low Residue dry food (and canned). She did not like the canned, and mostly she's been getting Wellness and Petguard canned foods, which she loves. She is a dry food junkie, so several meals...

Just curious: Which stores sell cat doors, and also install it? How much would the total cost be (installation in an existing door)? I have no skills myself and don't want an ugly looking botched up job. I live in cold climate so it is even more importat that it is done right.

Just thought I'd share this newsletter article with you http://www.mercola.com/2005/nov/12/cats_need_wet_food.htm Y'know, there's no rule that says you can't moisten your kitty's dry food with filtered water either. But the authors do make a good point about the carbos in dry cat foods. Have you...

The Pilgrims leave Plymouth Harbor in England on a ship called the Mayflower. They seek freedom in America to worship the way they want. The voyage is difficult, but only one of the 102 passengers dies. Mayflower Cats Cats were welcome aboard sailing ships in the 16th century because they helped...

Louis has had some pretty unpleasant bowel movements lately. The only change to his routine has been a diet of Wellness dry food for about three days while we scrambled our schedules to get out to the one store in the vicinity which carries the wet Wellness that he's used to. Why would an indoor,...

Greetings: I was recently married, and we have joined households - two cats each. My two cats like my husband very much, and the feeling is mutual. His little female is skittish but warming up to me. The problem is his male - aged two years, neutered. This cat has a history of minor...

Dear magic cat group I know you can answer all things I have observed that male cats do not put out a smell after they are neutered I had a normal male cat, he would put his scent on me Especially when he was happy to see me. A very distinct smell

I don't know about the tail, but the fur can be an issue. We have one cat with a fluffy butt and when I see a stray dropping, I know we've waited to long to trim him! We have one person hold him and the other trim with a regular scissors. Rhonda Myriam Abramson wrote: Hiya!

Ok I know there was a subject about this a while back but I just wondered where everyone is getting their essential Christmas cat themed gifts. I particularly after a set of tables mats (for my table not the cat!!) with a black cat silhouette design or black paw prints design - if such a...

Hi Folks, Our nine year old male domestic shorthair had a urinary tract blockage back in July. He had a large, walnut-sized stone in his bladder. It was touch and go for a couple of weeks, but he was strong and healthy and seemed to recover fully. After six weeks, there were no signs left of...

I've got a two-year old cat. For the past month she's been hiding on us, not wanting to play and such. We took her to the doctor three times for a diagnosis (bloodwork, feces, x-rays) - she's been on two different antibiotics with no help. Then suddendly we were at the vet for the 4th time and...

With new postings on urinary blockage in males, especially neutered ones, a question comes to mind. The vet who dealt with my cat years back also told me that he was opposed to extremely early neutering - 10 - 12 weeks of age. His view was that the males need to grow and develop closer to...

As a sometime lurker on this ng, I wanted to say thanks to the people here who post their cat questions, knowledge, stories. It's kind of felt like being part of a community. Twelve days ago, now, we lost our cat PJ. I say "lost," but I mean we had to tell the vet to put him under after he told...

I had to bring Elwood into the emergency clinic tonight. It started when I got home this afternoon, I noticed he was kind of crawling around, and crying. So, I brought him in, and they say he has a urinary blockage, and they have to keep him overnight. What causes this? They told me it jujst sort...

Hi all. Cali, my Calico I adopted in April has had a mouth infection/ulcers since August. She's gotten her 3rd shot of steroids (Depo-something) and her mouth has healed up very well - this last shot was stronger than the last two. She got it about 10 days ago, and the last few days she has...

Hi there, I have a one and half year old tabby cat, that I adopted from the humane society when she was 8 weeks old. I also have a 3 year old cat that doesn't generally seem to be to bothered by the little one. I changed residences about 7 months ago and in the past 4 months have been finding my...
