I'm seriously thinking about getting a kitten, but I can't decide if I should get 1 or 2. I presently don't have a cat. A friend of mine said she has 9 kittens and wants to give them away. I saw the whole litter the other day and each kitten looks very cute and friendly, including the parent...

I have 2 6month-old kittens, male (whole) and female (fixed). I just gave them a bath because they both stank. The female was more or less ok with it but the male struggled desperately to get out of the sink so I had to give up on him half-way through and he's scared ****less now. What I did was...

I can't even find a real message this morning. All spam, all different return addresses. What happened? CMM

wild? homeless? is it a brand? what what

Looking to purchase the LitterMaid self cleaning cat box and wondering which is the newest top of the line model they make. I see the Mega model but also seeing another model that seems more expensive. I owned -senior-two cats which one is starting to use my carpet for a bathroom if the other uses...

Every year I completely replace my litter pans - just toss out the old ones and start fresh. Last night I went out and plunked down $8.99 each for two "Giant" Van Ness litter pans. I hired a babysitter and spent two and a half hours today cleaning the pet area - replacing all the bedding,...

my kitty, ebony, is 25 years old. no lie. he was my cat when i was in high school. I graduated in 1983, and left for college. he was loved and cared for (obviously well) my my parents for the next two decades. my mom passed in 2001, and when my dad died last september, he became my cat...

I haven't been able to stop thinking and worrying about Madeleine and keep looking for a report on her. What is going on with her? Best regards, ---Cindy S.

I wonder if there are alternatives to neuturing, like birth control for the females cats. Then the males could get thier groove on without us having to worry about the population. This could work for a pet, I realize a homeless cat would miss too many pills.

Well, I've discovered the hard way that you get rid of clumping litter by putting it in a bag, not trying to flush it down the toilet. So now I keep a grocery store bag for the litter, by the litterbox. Problem is, it just looks well, not nice. So I'm wondering how other people keep the...

my cat just brought me a squealing little mouse baby. It is still alive, probably in shock. It is about an inch long and fully furred. It has 2 tiny upper and 2 tiny lower teeth. I would have just let it go outside but its eyes aren't open! Assuming it lives, what do I do with it until its...

Hi all - I'm posting here because I'm desperate! My 3 cats are normally well-behaved, but Milo, my 3-year old male and the youngest of the 3, screams at me when I'm in the kitchen. I don't know how else to describe it - it's a long, drawn-out yowling wail, almost accusatory in tone. It ****es me...

I've posted about this before. So I apologize for the redux. But the problem hasn't been solved. Basically here's the scoop. We have 4 cats. Two cats hang out through the night and are happy to see us in the morning (both for food an attention). The other two cats (a brother and sister, strangely)...

I need to find a good vet for my cat in Bellevue, WA (in or near 98008). Does anyone have any advice on how to go about this? Or better yet, is there anyone in Bellevue with a recommendation? Cory

Jackie is home after having all her teeth removed. Her mouth doesn't stink anymore and she is eating the normal mush but I do crush it well for her if it needs it. She always would eat almost any canned food and is currently getting Wellness and Science Diet plus some Trader Joe. She is lying on...

To preface, I'm a great believer in vaccinations for both pets and people. However.... My indoor only cat has a reaction to rabies vaccines. When I got her, at about 11 weeks, I took her in for the last of her kitten shots (if I remember correctly). She developed a lump at the injection site. I...

I usually give Mico one half of a tuna sized can of food a day. Lately he's been eating it all, and then wanting more. Mico is almost one and a half years old, and is Siamese. I don't want him to become obese. Due to hunger he's taken to ugly habits like licking the floor when there's no more...

Does anyone have any recommendations on cleaners which I can use on bed sheets and other items when the cats spray? One of my cats seems to be marking their territory when I am asleep and in the bed. Apparently during the night the cats are fighting with each other and thus marking their spots. I...

I need some advice on an unfortunate accident. I had a cat that was an outdoor only cat. I wish I could've brought him inside but I had no control in that matter as my parents wouldn't allow it. Recently, the cat was attacked by a dog and as soon as I heard the commotion I ran outside to get the...
