For those that are interested, Icarus is once again back at the vet for a urinary tract blockage and is giving them a lot of headaches. They said that if they get only a few feet near him he starts hissing and spitting. I was on the phone with the doctor today and could hear Icarus in the...

Hi I have had my lovely tom cat from a kitten and he is now 3 years old. I have never owned a tom cat before and he is just so adoreable, but there is a behaviour that he does religiously every single morning and wondered why he does it. He sleeps in the house but late at night he always...

Hi, I recently adopted a 10 year old blind cat from the shelter..Just felt so bad for the poor thing. I live in a quiet apartment, no kids or other pets (well, a hermit crab). I'm a senior citizen, so I do not want a kitten that will live for 20 years! Now it's just us two old ladies. She has...

Good god man - you seem like the quintessential Usenet Kook/paraplegic/schizophrenic/mom's basement dweller. Some of us don't have time to follow the gazillions of posts in anger you've submitted (God forbid.. we're just looking up how to help cats) - so as a favor to recent browsers, could you...

I need advise about what is the best to do with my FIV cat who has been diagnosed with breast cancer last week. She ist about 4 1/2 or 5yo. She was found in Queens/NY 2 1/2 years ago, one week before giving birth. I was fostering her and her two kittens and it turned out she is FIV+. I discoverd...

Please help! We adopted Roscoe at the pound 3 months ago. He is now 5 months old. He is a very active and healthy little guy, was neutered promptly when we adopted him, has a good appetite and gets lots of play from us and our dog (whom we adopted at the same time). At first I figured the biting...

Yes, silly. Though, the behavior on one is a bit worrisome. Two of our girls, right? First subject - about a year old. She's monogamous. That is to say, she will only allow one male cat to attempt to mate with her. And it just so happens that the cat she allows to couple with her...

Meghan e.mailed the cattery and was told that Conan has found a home .. I hope this will be confirmed and that maybe we can see some photos of him. All the best Conan. -- Alison http://catinfolinks.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/ http://doginfolinks.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/

My husband and I recently acquired two purebred 3 month old kittens that turned out to be FeLV+ on ELISA, tested within 48 hours of bringing them home, with the older kitten testing IFA+ a few days after that. (I haven't had the younger kitten IFA tested yet.) The breeder, who had given us a...

Henry's really taken to indoor life. Given our recent harsh spell of Minnesota winter, I figure we've already saved his life. He's the typical long-hair mutt with strong Maine Coon/Norway Cat indications - the same coloring, ear tufts, huge mane and footpad tufts. Since he's been adopted, he's...

I have 3 cats. One (or more) has recently taken to urinating outside the litter box. I think I know which one it is but would like to be sure. Does anyone know of anything that can be given to a cat that will color its urine? This way I could give it to the cat in question and if the next...

Why is it that cats think playing hide and go seek is fun or funny? Everyone is looking for you, calling your name, thinking you're hurt and you don't bother to reply or come out. Then you just suddenly show up like nothing happened. Very funny. Or how about waiting to go up the stairs until a...

Mike Kenzie wrote: Has anyone had any trouble with multiple cats sharing one of the automated litter boxes? Suffice it to say the things are troublesome. If your cat is large the automatic boxes may not be big enough. Some cats are afraid of the things and refuse to use them. Think of how...

Hi All, I have put in an application to adopt a 1 year old shelter kitty - who happens to be Manx. He has no tail whatsoever, not even a stump. I had no intentions of getting anything other than just a cat from a shelter. I have done a bit of research on this breed and am concerned. While I...

We have a female cloud tabby aged about 4 years that has taken to excessive scratching - to the point that she is digging at her own flesh. We have always been regular with flea treatments and she is in overall excellent health. About six months ago she began scratching on the rear of her neck...

Hi, My cat Nemo was just diagnosed with CRF. His numbers were all completly normal with the exception of the BUN, which was only 12 points about normal. I am feeding him pretty much whatever he wants for now but he doesn't seem to want to eat and he isn't drinking much water. Otherwise he acts...

My Siamese altered female, age 4. The other day she was in a neighbors house and would not come out. I had to drag her out by the back of the neck from under a bed. Since then she has been attacking me, and her eyes are bugging out of her head. I don't want to take her to a vet, because they...
