With the vet's approval, Milo is going to become an indoor-outdoor cat starting a few weeks from now. So of course I'll be applying Frontline. The local Petsmart wants $60 for Frontline -- or, rather, that's the price marked on an empty shelf. I expect I can do much better by ordering on...

Hey all, I'm wanting to switch cat litters to that Feline Pine because of Rowan's being so sensitive to the dust from conventional litter these days. The thing is, they all despise the texture of the FP. I did what the bag said and put one inch on the bottom of the pan and 3 inches of...

I went to visit the kitties for lunch today, and while I was eating a Twinkie, Elwood seemed to be really interested. He was pawing at it, and trying to steal it out of my hand!! Are Twinkies dangerous for cats? No, I am not going to make it a regular part of his diet, but am wondering if a...

Cheeks is going crazy trying to watch the little birds who appear to be trying to build a nest at the top of my office window. But the sill is too shallow for her to sit comfortably so she has to stretch on tip toe from the filing cabinet to watch them. Any tips on good window seats for kitties...

This cat, unlike other's I've had, is "extremely uncooperative" when it comes to toenail clipping (his, not mine). I prefer not to have to keep hauling him to the vets. Any strategie for a lone person who want to cut his pet's toenaild? Thanks. James

Greetings All, I have a 5 year old neutered male cat who is a very special part of our family. Monday morning, we noticed strange behaviour - not eating, lifeless, depressed, glassy eyes, etc. He also urinated outside his litterbox which he has never done before. We monitored him over the next...

As stated in the past, I had great luck with my cat Gnarly who lived to be 20 and had every tooth when she finally died. I never had her teeth cleaned at all. She never had a day of sickness in her life. No, her breath was not sweet. Fast forward to now--and my little rescue Cheeks, four years...

I have a yellow tabby, about 3 years old. He has brown stuff around his lips. We have taken him to the vets, they have cleaned him up; said he had no cavaities and everything looked good. But 1 month after the cleaning he is back to having brown stuff around his mouth again. any ideas what it could...

Is in normal for a cats heartbeat to quicken upon inspiration?

Anyone had a cat with this? What did you do and how long did it take the cat to get going again? We've (we and the vet) been working with one of our cats for 3 days now. I feel so sorry for the cat. Rhonda

I have 2 wonderful cats that happily share my NYC apartment with me. For the first time since they joined me I need to go away for a few days... 5 days and 4 nights specifically. I have a friend whom I trust to stop in for an hour or 2 a night to give the cats some company and some wet food. My...

This may be a bit long, but please bear with me : I sorely need some advice here. We have two cats, Callie and Flower. Callie is 16 months, Maine Coon mix and was adopted at 6 months old from the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago. She's a great cat and we adore her. We moved back to...

I have a new kitten, who's 13 weeks old, and he's long-haired, although his long hair is still growing in. WHen I first saw him, I thought his whiskers were cut off - they were only about an inch long when I got him - but now that his whiskers are starting to grow longer, the ends of the whiskers...

My white cat has developed a darkening of her nose (see other post). I'm told white cats are prone to skin cancer. I never let her outside but she does lay in a sunny window in the morning for hours. The window is a double, with a storm window on the outside. Doesn't that block the dangerous...

John Doe wrote: It's the weirdest thing. If anything in its area is changed, takes weeks getting used to it. It's the only cat that has not used their skyway. The only exception is for getting up to and down from its loft. There are two exit/entry directions it can go on the skyway, left...

I do not want to restart the debate on dry versus wet food,(*) but I thought some might be interested in my experience. From age 1 (when I adopted him) to 2, Milo ate Purina Indoor, as recommended by the shelter where he lived for a couple of months. (The vet was okay with that.) At his...

Our cat, now about fourteen years old, has recently started having some sort of fit, or attack. Her legs give way, then she rolls about threshing and squealing in agony. This lasts for a few seconds, but then it seems to be over and she gets up and carries on as normal. These fits are now occurring...

"Purplecat" wrote in message ... Does anyone here happen to know if Rubber Trees (Ficus elastica) are poisonous? I'm finding conflicting information. (It's not listed at all on most of the websites I usually...
