For three years or so, our cat has using the box just fine -- until two or so weeks ago. Admittedly, we had let it build up (due to cessation of daily indoor-exercise, after which shower taken and turds removed from box). Which left only our standard complete clean-outs and grit-replacement on...

Having kept the cat indoors for the first 4 weeks I have finally let it out (thankfully it returned!) Once the cat starts going out, is it safe to remove the litter tray completely? Will the cat go outside automatically or should I leave it in place and hope she goes outside of her own volition?

My Mainecoon cat has been diagnosed with kidney stones. I was hoping to get some feedback from other cat owners who have expierienced this. What treatment did you seek? Was surgery involved? A change in diet? My vet says he is a time bomb waiting to explode. He said there is really nothing he can...

I just got a six month old cat a few days ago. I also have a parakeet. I know that my cat is still considerd a kitten but how should I go about teaching my cat that the bird is not going anyware and that it's not okay to stare at him all the time? My cat is not agressive, but has a strong hunting...

One of my cats has been vomiting today... it smells like poop. He hasn't eaten or drank anything all day and he is walking very gingerly. Is this a sign of something serious? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, CCL

I haven't been able to find an exercise wheel like the one shown in http://web.ukonline.co.uk/frances.peace/heloise.htm and I'd appreciate any pointers. I've emailed Mrs. Peace but haven't heard back yet. Thanks very much! CC and Ben will also say thank you! 8) Will

Greetings all: First, I apologize if this is the wrong group to post this in. I'm not going to crosspost trying to figure it out though, so if it's in the wrong group and someone wants to send me the right group name via email, I'd appreciate it. Now, on to business, as it were. My husband and...

The short story is that my wife and I are divorcing, and there's a problem with what to do about our 4 cats. Cat 1 is "my" cat; when we adopted her to be a companion to someone who's gone on to the Rainbow Bridge she chose me as her person to play and cuddle with. Eventually we got cat 4, who...

We have two one year old occicats, and a brand new living room rug. They scratched at the old living room rug, but I guess it was made in a way that it didn't pull, or damage. The new one, well, let's just say it responds to the cat's scratching negatively. We're wondering if anyone has any...

Hi , Does any one have or know where I can find or read copies of Professor Robert May's cat predation study in the English village of Felmersham , Bedford and the Churcher and Lawton study. There are lots of references on Google to the C&L study but not the real thing. BTW , I'm not trolling, I...

I'm having some success keeping the smell down to a minimum, after a few weeks of desperate experimentation. Urine isn't much of a problem, but I swear I can instantly detect as few as three molecules of cat poo from the other side of the house. Luckily, I'm at home much of the time, so I...

I just wanted to warn all to be careful about buying the Science Diet Advanced Protection pet food to get the $9 rebate (free after). Hill's Pet Nutrition sent me my rebate back saying they had to return my submission because the incorrect UPC proof of purchase symbol(s) was submitted. And it had...

My cat is 11 years old and very muched love. Recently, over the last month she has lost a lot of weight and spends much of her tim sleeping. A trip to or Vet and an X-ray proved that she had a large growth that could not be operated on. We don't think she is in pain, but are not sure. We know the...

I've had my cat for at least 4 months now, and in that time, she has gained at least 3 pounds. I am single. My cat is indoor-only and it is now winter. I'm thinking maybe the weight gain is because she is less active during the winter, and maybe will be more active during summer. Does anyone...
