hi, this might seem kind of strange. my 2-year old tabby has always gotten plenty of love and attention, but i've recently moved to a new place further from work. this means that i'm home less often and don't get to spend as much time playing with him as he's used to. he likes to play, a LOT, and...

Hello everyone, I am torn about the decision to neuter my 7-year old cat. I think that it might be beneficial for her in the long run, but I am really scared about possible complications and not sure if I have the moral right to do it to her. I paid $90 for her blood test, and vet told me she was...

They are doing great for the most part, except for one little problem - Marmie is not going in the litter box. She goes *around* the litter box, but not...

Has anybody here ever euthanized their own cat or know a good, quick, humane method of doing so? I have a 15 year old female cat in good shape and she's a fine friend but I know that the clock is ticking when they get to this age. She hates going to the vet and I would like her final exit to be...

A newly adopted four month old kitten......loves table scraps but doesn't like wet or dry even if mixed together. Is it worth pushing the dry hoping he will eventually buckle?

The vet found an ulcer on my cat's left eye. He gave me 3 ointments for it (atropine,trifluridine, and triple antibiotic). Since I started applying the meds, the eye's pupil has been dilated all day. Is this normal, or should I take the cat back to the vet?

Hi, all, A quick question if you don't mind. I give my cats quite a bit of catnip, both fresh and dried. A few weeks ago, some workmen started sandblasting the house next door, and one of my cats, Pi, got very spooked. He hid all day while they were there, making noise with the machines and...

Hi My 13 year old female cat has a urinary tract infection. The doctor wants me to give her liquid anti biotics twice a day for 10 days. Its been about 5 days and I absolutely can't get her to open her mouth and take it. If there is any medicine on her mouth she wont even lick it off and...

A 2 year-old semi-feral spayed female cat who lives in my office is suddenly drooling quite a lot. I'll take her to the vet Friday - can't before that - but what *could* it be?? I managed to catch her and look in her mouth, and there's nothing noticeable or unusual there. There is nothing she could...

Anyone ever notice any odd behavior in a cat when they first discover a mirror? This morning Bonnie was watching me in a full length mirror in my room while I was getting dressed for work, just staring at me, though I noticed she was staring at herself, too. I was behind her and I guess she...
