A friend of mine is moving from Scotland to Norway soon with her cat and has to replace her current rather tatty carrier with a new IATA approved one. We were looking at them in a pet shop at the weekend and she liked the idea of one with an opening grill on the top as well as at the front grill ...

I treated my foster cat yesterday with Frontline because I saw a flea in the carpet in her room and she was scratching. I thoroughly cleaned and vaccuumed the room. Today, I noticed a nickel-size bald spot on her, near where I applied the Frontline. I'm not sure if the spot is exactly where the...

My cat is at it again... now he has "nailed" plastic items near the front door (which I cleaned and moved to higher ground) -- I really need a Feliway diffuser, but I do not have electricity near the door. Has anyone seen a battery powered one? Or similar? I do not have rugs near the door (he...

Hello all, you’ll have to forgive me, I have done nothing cry, and try no not cry for the past three days. My baby, my heart and life time friend is dieing. Muffy, that is my beautiful girls name; I have had her for 18 years, since I was five. Because like most I don't remember much before the age...

I'm using a book to learn how to clicker-train my cats. I've been doing it for 5 days with Ebony, and 3 days with Blackie. The book I am using so far is "Getting Started Clicker Training for Cats," by Karen Pryor. We 3 have all learned a lot so far. My question is for anyone who's familiar and...

I have two cats--a 7.5 lb tabby with a long, skinny build and a pointed face shape (suggesting she has the genes for a long, slight build, and may not be "programmed" to get too big) and a very fat 18 lb tuxedo with a frame the vet says should carry maybe eight pounds. The skinny cat gets 3 oz of...

And am totally amazed at how both IBen, Cat Protector and some others need a good old fashioned spanking. Never have I heard children bicker so much as I have here. In the two days I have been reading I have learned a lot. I figure since I will mostly lurk from this posting on I will say what...

We been using recycled car tire rubber 1/4 inch thick mat since March 2015. It works very well for climbing and it doesn't shed onto the floor. It was cut in strips and hot melt glued to 1x4s with about 1/2 inch hanging over each side. They have some trouble climbing down, like cats do on...

I have 2 dogs that are about 15 years old, there blind and deaf and not in good health. I can't afford to go the vet to have them put to sleep to end their suffering what can I do?

Me and my partner both work from home and are considering buying a second home (actually a flat) which we intend to travel between on a weekly basis - one week in one place another in the other. All we need to work is an internet connection so it would be quite feasible. However, we have two cats....

On the advice of the group, I purchased some cortisone cream for my cats acne that has gotten rather bad. Any advice on how to use it? Same dose/frequency as humans? should i rub it in? will it be dangerous if she licks some off and ingests it?

Tiger is a big cat - make that a HUGE cat. He weighed in at 23 pounds at his last vet visit. He likes to lay on his back with his feet sticking up. Is this a trait of Maine Coons? -MIKE

Hello all, First off, I am really happy to be able to report that Conan is in very nice feline-friendly, although temporary, surroundings. He is with people who are very caring and knowledgeable cat-lovers. He was switched to a premium canned diet and already looks a lot better than he did on...

I am going to be replacing the carpet in my basement with something tough and durable like Berber given that I have a home gym in the basement. However I was wondering two things: 1) Whether my two cats will always be clawing the carpet and getting their claws stuck in the Berber "loops", or...

I have two, and Pookie is about one year older than Bubba. Both females. I spoil them; they are house cats and do not roam outside. Recently, we took them to the vet to get their bottoms trimmed of long fur as they were having accidents in the litter pan. We got Pookie in the carrier alright,...

I have recently got a cat. The cat has a habit of waking up at around 4 or 5AM. The cat also has a habit of waking the household by her insistent scratching and meowing. Does any one here know of a way of stopping her doing this? Please Help! Chamal

I found this story rather surprising. I have never heard of bats carrying rabies before now, but then again, we don't have rabies here...(Yet!) http://www.mlive.com/news/chronicle/index.ssf?/base/news-11/1181915114303570.xml&coll=8 Is this a common problem, or a one off incident? S;o)
