hard (dry) food or canned food? My short hair cat he likes can, but will eat dry also. My Maine Coon won't eat much can food.

Both boys, while still sneezing just a bit, are outrageously healthy and have almost doubled their weight and size in the last three weeks - and they *should* have, they eat like any teen-aged boy does!!! -- Hugs, CatNipped

Here's a question for youse guys. No resp. on RPC.health, but low traffic there. (Sorry if there's a duplicate...) Got cats. Got fleas. Cats are pregnant. I've checked with not only our vet, but several vets that specialize in cats in the orange county CA area - almost all of them say there is...

We're thinking about "Archer" and "Ozzy" for the boys and "Jade" for little mama but nothing's set in stone yet - we'll have to wait until they pick their own names before we'll know for sure. In the meantime suggestions on what to suggest to them are still very welcome. --

I can't believe it...I actually let "Duffy's Day" go by unnoticed until I read some "congratulations" on another group. Duffy adopted me on Jan. 31, 2003, so we have now had 7 wonderful years together. He was estimated to be 3-5 years old at the time, and probably closer to 5 years. So, that...

This is somewhat off-topic, but I thought it was appropriate because many of us are sending e-greetings at this time of year. Be careful when opening electronic greetings. Here is part of a report that I read on CNN, which warns of a new virus. You need to watch for e-greetings with the...

Is there a link between hyperthyroidism and aggression and/or terratoriality towards other cats in a household? We have a 12 year old male (approx. 18 lbs) with confirmed (but mild) hyperthyiodism (and arthritis). He's been sharing the house and yard with 2 younger new cats (male and female, both...

hello. does any one know of a Yahoo group that deals with diabetic cat ownership? thank you TWQ

I have seen a flurry of questions about getting cats to use the litterbox and yep, I've got one, too. We adopted Lex after a month of visiting him at the shelter. The reason we didnt adopt him sooner is that he was brought back by an adopter after about 10 days because he wasnt consistently using...

A while ago I posted about a tiny, severly malnourished 8 week old kitten I had found wandering my neighborhood and had taken in. Foster, I said. Adopt him out to a wonderful home, I said. Get the basics of training on him, get him habituated to his harness and leash and send him on his way, I...

I need advice. I have a chemo appointment scheduled for my cat (yes, I know I am posting to two dog NGs) on Friday. She had a radical lateral mastectomy on Wed. September 17. Her incision from the first surgery several weeks before that was slow to heal and this incision is too. I've removed...

We recently had a longhair cat adopt us and I would like to brush her, but the brush I use for other other guys, a short hair and medium hair, doesn't do a very good job on her. It just slides along the surface of her fur without really brushing her. What kind of brush should I get? One with fewer...

Hi We recently lost our oldest cat of a mouth tumor, she was 15. I buried her in our yard. I was wondering what kind of framed memorial I could do for her. I have pictures on disk and some prior to digital cameras, I also have Photoshop CS which I can use without being a pro. I have a new...

Boots, my 5 month old kitten liked to go outside in the evening to chase bugs and stuff, he would come in and out about every half hour with stories to tell. Five days ago he went out and didn't do his usual in and out, So I went looking for him, even had the neighbor out of bed opening tool shed....

As I said before, we've had a hard time getting Oreo and Gabe to play with any 'cat' toys. They don't like the balls with bells, the furry mice, the hanging ropes, anything with catnip... you get my drift! (Gabe does like laying on paper, never really figured that out) But, I'm happy to...

I have been posting about TB, my poor boy that is battling chronic liver disease. My vet had given him prednisolone when he first showed signs of the disease back in October of '04. He responded very well, eating all of his food and acting totally normal. After a couple weeks though, he got sick...
