In article , enlightened us with... Problem 1: A few weeks ago, I had an allergy test. I wanted to know if I was allergic to cats, because, prior to just a few days ago, I hadn't been around one for a long time, and...

Hello, I have two sphynx kittens (7 months). The male has chronic loose stool regardless of what food I have fed him. The female has been fine since I started feeding them Nutro Natural Care. They both had CBCs and everything is normal. I went to an odd sort of vet who prescribed Biosol, which...

Hi All: Another update on Rutherford the Brave, the floor-****ing and wall-spraying cat... Last night I caught him squatting RIGHT after I cleaned the litter box (about two hours after) in the 4 foot area that he has destroyed in our living room with his urine. I feel that he MUST have known he...

On the Today show this morning there was a very upsetting report of cat mutilations in these two areas. People are urged to keep pets indoors until this sick person/people are caught. The cats have been found cut in half with one half missing or completely without organs ( surgical removal) . One...

Hi. I would like to adopt a kitten for a family house pet. We have young children. What breeds are most suitable? I like Siamese, Persians, and Manx. Any others to consider? Thanks. Lisa

Has anyone ever heard of Tapazole causing blood clots? A few days ago, a cat at the shelter who was hyperthyroid threw a clot and was rushed to the vet's, but died. It was very sad. Somehow it's gotten around that the Tapazole caused or contributed to the cat developing a blood clot. We...

I am brainstorming how to assist my stray during the holidays season when we would gone for about 10 days. A friend is willing to come every 1-2 days and put out dry food just outside the door. However, I can't figure out what to do about water if the temperatures are below freezing?

There has to be some material cats can use for indoor climbing besides carpet or Sissel rope. Maybe something that also can be attached to a 2 x 4. Maybe some sort of plastic grating (yes, of course it will have to be safe). Next time I go to the hardware store, I plan to spend a lot of time...

I had to have Tiger shaved back in June to get rid of a lot of bad mats. I want to get a grooming brush that will help me to prevent future mats. What is the best one for this purpose (Zoom Groom)? TIA ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N -...

Well guys, I guess I am not going to have much luck with having those kinds of cats that let you whip them into your arms for a hug... I haven't been here (in the ng) for awhile, but thought I'd check in to update on Sam. I adopted her in April at the age of about 1 1/2. She was living in a...

After last Monday's escapade with the baby squirrel I was hoping for a little respite. No such luck. Yesterday as I was vacuuming I pushed aside a piece of furniture and one of my cats was shortly thereafter quite animated. I went downstairs, came up an hour later and found 5 cats in...

How much do kittens grow from 6 months to a year? Except for Maine Coons (who can keep growing for up to 5 years - although with Sammy it's mostly sideways growth ;) - how long do cats keep growing. I'm asking because Ozzy is now at 10 pounds. His bro-fur Archer is only 7.5. -- Hugs,

I took Harriet to the cats only vet this morning. She still wasn't able to go to the bathroom since her last hospitalization on Tuesday/Wednesday. I called the cat vet this morning and they said I could drop her off between 8:00-9:30am. It was already 8:15, and it takes me about an hour to get...

Right now, Kiki is lying on my left arm and chest, sleeping and obviously dreaming (I compute while lying down). Sometimes when she falls asleep, she starts to twitch like a dog does but not so obviously. I'm sure it is common, but just in case, are others are familiar with it?

I've read the archives, not sure what the concensus is. My cat pees against the side of the box every time and I have to scrape the clump residue from the side (not fun). I would like to know opinions of natural biodegradable clumping litter, with notes about how they act when stuck to sides...

I have a beutiful brown spotted Bengal who is gorgeous and I love him to bits, but he has one habit that is driving me crazy. I have a window that I have put venetian blinds on so I can see my computer screen better on sunny days. Even though the cat always had a window he preferred to look out...

I thought you might like this story from a TV/Book writer who posts on another board. I recently lost a cat that I'm still very sad about. It is good to hear these kinds of stories. Bill _________________________________________________\
