I want to raise this to everyone's attention here. Steve Crane pointed this out in a post buried in another thread here, however this warrants a thread of its own to bring the information "up front" so to speak. October 15th issue of JAVMA (Volume 223 Number 8) details a study in which it was...

Hi I have had my lovely tom cat from a kitten and he is now 3 years old. I have never owned a tom cat before and he is just so adoreable, but there is a behaviour that he does religiously every single morning and wondered why he does it. He sleeps in the house but late at night he always...

Hi, I recently adopted a 10 year old blind cat from the shelter..Just felt so bad for the poor thing. I live in a quiet apartment, no kids or other pets (well, a hermit crab). I'm a senior citizen, so I do not want a kitten that will live for 20 years! Now it's just us two old ladies. She has...

My adult cat has been breathing loudly out of her nose and she smells funny. I don't know how else to describe it. She also is losing weight. I brought home a kitten about 4 months ago and for the most part they get along these days. I think the weight loss is related to the kitten being a fat...

Has anyone tried the new curved cat scratcher on a wooden base? Supposedly it files their nails down so you don't have to clip. One of my cats hates to be clipped. Barb

Hi there, This question is about the same cat as before, in the "Cat in heat question" thread. This cat has kittens that are now 9 weeks old, they are at my house awaiting their spay appts. Beetle is at the shelter also waiting for her spay appt, and is apparently in heat. Beetle has been...

For those that are interested, Icarus is once again back at the vet for a urinary tract blockage and is giving them a lot of headaches. They said that if they get only a few feet near him he starts hissing and spitting. I was on the phone with the doctor today and could hear Icarus in the...

This is mainly for kittens. But my male cat enjoys chasing his tail, so it might work well for him too. Currently, he needs the exercise. I found a way to give my three kittens all the indoor exercise they can handle. Basically, it's just extending their tail 6 or 8 inches with a 1/4 inch thick...

Good god man - you seem like the quintessential Usenet Kook/paraplegic/schizophrenic/mom's basement dweller. Some of us don't have time to follow the gazillions of posts in anger you've submitted (God forbid.. we're just looking up how to help cats) - so as a favor to recent browsers, could you...

Hi all, I am new here and wanted to get some feedback on whether other cats are like the one I adopted from the humane society. All we knew was that he was over 1 year old and was a stray. He is part persian, but without the scrunched up face, he is orange and white, very fluffy with pretty orange...

Please help! We adopted Roscoe at the pound 3 months ago. He is now 5 months old. He is a very active and healthy little guy, was neutered promptly when we adopted him, has a good appetite and gets lots of play from us and our dog (whom we adopted at the same time). At first I figured the biting...

My male cat "Kitty" is very gentle. The feral female "Kiki" has been here for four years and two months, and is still untouchable and still hisses at me from time to time. As shown on my picture page, they have a Skyway that allows them to hang out above the crowd. They love it. A week ago, I...

I need advise about what is the best to do with my FIV cat who has been diagnosed with breast cancer last week. She ist about 4 1/2 or 5yo. She was found in Queens/NY 2 1/2 years ago, one week before giving birth. I was fostering her and her two kittens and it turned out she is FIV+. I discoverd...

Your boys are absolutely gorgeous! How lucky they are to have "found" you! They photograph so well. I love the photo of them on the laundry. I have two brothers (littermates) who will be 6 yrs. old next month. I adopted them about a year ago from one of those pet clinics (their owner was...

The whiskers of my girlfriend's 6 month old kitten have been breaking off since before he was adopted from a shelter. He's also kind've bony for his age (only 6 lbs). Everyone remarks that they can feel his ribs and spine more than with other kittens, including more than a slinky 5 month...

For the first time - my cat hissed at me! Twice - about an hour between each other. Thats because she has something stuck on her fur under her front leg and I want it out - just in case its sharp and its hurting her so I fiddled with the just to check it out but when I actually started to feel it...
