Hi All ~ 16 year old CRF cat, Fatass, on day 6 of liquid therapy of 150ml/day of NaCl... Went to the supermaket yesterday and bought all kinds of stuff for Fats to try...clam juice, canned mackerel and crabmeat, baby food, some fancy feast in gravy... I get home and see that she ate nothing that...

I adopted a 6 yr. old nutered male cat 6 mths ago who from day one yowls at night. I've taken his to the vet, tried ALL suggestions, but each night between 2:00 am and 5:00am when I get up he yowls...Help!

The family Cat loves her claws. The question is ; Is it better to de-claw or just use scratch prevention sprays? Your friend from......Shop till you drop honey.com

LOL, if she gets much bigger I'm going to have to move her to a zoo! ; *THIS* is why I think my (once) tiny rescue is 99.999999% Maine Coon. http://www.possibleplaces.com/catnipped/Sammy28/ You've all see those tunnels at PetsMart, so you can extrapolate her size from that comparison! I'm...

You've probably heard of cats that use the toilet just like their people do. How is this accomplished? Step 1: Move the litter pan into the bathroom. Step 2: Move the litter pan closer and closer to the toilet, until it is right next to it. Step 3: Raise the litter pan higher and higher on books...

Hello, I haven't posted here for several years since my Blue boy passed away in late 2004. But now I am brought back to ponder (and I know that I can't be the only* one out there wondering) if I can trust the Nutro brand for any of their cat foods? Or, if I can trust any* of the cat food...

My girlfriend's cat has developed a habit of peeing on clothes that are left on the floor. We think that she's upset because my girlfriend is working longer hours and not around to keep the cat company. Anyway, if you leave clothes (or in one case, a bedsheet) on the floor, there's a good chance...

I know it is not the most refined question you are likely to face today, but I would like to ask the more experienced crowd he How do you treat a cat when she throws up? It has got to be uncomfortable and disagreeable moment for them. The cat I feed tries to run away from the spot when this...

Nope, he's still kicking... or should I say scratching and biting and going ape bouncing off of walls? *shrugs* Anyway, he is now almost TWICE his original size. His frame appears HUGE to me now for some reason and he is weighs obviously more. You can tell when he lands on you that his...

Hi. My neutered male cat started spraying a few months ago. First it was the couch. Got some Feliway, that seemed to help for a while. Yesterday he sprayed my tote bag, last night my boyfriend came over (he's come over many times before, no spraying happened), the male cat got up, walked over to...

This is weird IMO. I'll try to make it concise. About one month ago I noticed fleas again. I gave up on flea collars and started using Advantage on the eighth of last month. I started checking their (my two cats) feces for worms segments, haven't seen any.

Hello. I recently had a stray older kitten (definately not full grown, I am not sure of age though) take up residence in my shed and my yard. I have never owned a cat, much less an outside one. If it turns that no one is missing her (flyers are out) then she might be able to stay here...

To all, I have been asked by our group to post the information below and I am delighted to be able to provide a positive update. Please note that the three of us are equally involved in Conan's adoption efforts and I just happen to be the one to post. Because of the time factor, we decided last...

we got Moe & Rudy from the Spca, they were always feed dry food, we kept it up, they used Wal-mart brand, is that type ok? I have always had cats since adulthood, but used a combo of dry and canned, 1/2 can in am & pm, dry all day they're 2 males,9 months old, neutered, housebound....I get them...

Hi, One of my cats has a hematoma (very swollen ear). I really want to take him to the vet to have it profesionally cared for, but we're on such a tight budget that there's no way we could afford the procedure. What would you recommend doing? I just found out today that the wrinkly ear thing is...

One of my cats apparently has allergies. I recall being told years ago that antihistamines didn't work in cats, but now I'm reading some things that suggest that they do work. But I haven't found anything very specific. Are there veterinary antihistamines available or are people just using human...

All, My twelve year old female cat has been diagosed with hypertyroidism. I'm presented with the two options: tapazole and radioactive iodine. What is the group-think as to the best course of action? Thanks, Rob

My cat names Tam. He likes to follow me. If I come back to home after school.I open the door to came in the house.He rans very fast to come in my house and crouch down. My mother doesn't like him to go into the house because, it difficult to clean if have cat hairs in the house.I want to know how...

Hi, I have a twelve and a half year old cat who seems to be losing weight despite the fact that she has a big appetite, plays a lot, and generally seems healthy. She's been somewhat overweight (not obese) since she had her second litter of kittens in 1994 but as of late she feels like she's...

This morning I had to take my cat Icarus to the vet because he was throwing up a lot and wasn't able to urinate in the litterbox. Apparently despite the treatment of antibiotics he got blocked and the vet said he definately had a bit of a backup and 8 hours longer and he might not have made it....
