I wonder why a neutered cat with a bit of arthritis in his rear leg loves to stay out all night long in freezing weather. What goes on out there? I live in an old surburban neighborhood in Philadelphia. There is a high wall at the bottom of my garden separating it from a school for the blind. ...

Rhett has had a history of getting infections on his paws, though for varying reasons. Several times the vet diagnosed an allergic reaction (yes, another with allergies!! :( The last time she said one of his paws looked burned, but if it was a burn, it could only be carpet burn. He tears...

Last night I saw the people who adopted one of Boots' littermates. They mentioned that they were just now making arrangements to get "Midnight" neutered ........... and declawed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sometime in the last month he started clawing the furniture, screens etc. They said they have a large...

Well, once again, ants have found Meep's food. We keep spraying trails, sprayed border stuff on the outside of the house, but still they find her food. This time, I think they're coming from a nest in the neighbors house (we live in a townhouse) because I can't find a trail into the house...

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

Tomorrow (Nov. 24) is the 13th annifursary of the day I adopted Holly. She is very special - my little shadow, my loving companion, and Duffy's "big sister" for the last 4½ years. Her name when I adopted her had been Jinx, so-named because she is solid black and therefore supposedly "bad...

My six year old cat, Delilah, has a spot on her belly that appears to be bald, but has very short hair growth upon closer look. We took her to the vet, and based on the very healthy appearance of her skin under the fur, diagnosed her with "psychogenic alopecia" and told us she was just excessively...

I have been caring for my father's cat, Jade, a chocolate tortie, since February. I really came to like her in the last few months. She seemed to take to me too. She has had a rough go of it what with stomatitus but the depo kept it under control. She was diagnosed with squamous cell...

They are hazarous to your and your pet's health: http://www.netsyscentral.com/keith/livingair1.htm From the research I've done, the best air cleaner for the home is your standard HEPA cleaner with a replaceable filter. Megan

I have 2 kittens to find homes for, I put an ad in the paper to good INDOOR home, I've had people call, I always ask how they feel about letting cat's outside. I've had several calls and everyone of them say they would let the cat out if it wanted out.. The last one said, well she let's her...

Hello, we have three great cats, two of them are brothers and exhibit the same behavior. They are about three years old and declawed (adopted them that way). They never scratch or use their claws or bite, except when jumping into or out of our laps, they extend their rear claws about half of the...

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...

So now I am reading that Royal Canin hard food for cats contains too much Vit. D and is also killing cats? And that is what I switched to from canned food. I guess someone was correct - just cook chicken yourself and feel it to the kitties.

I'm having a bit of sticker shock here... Meep is having some sinus problems, and my vet is trying to talk me into getting a dental at the same time they look at her sinuses, due to the concern about putting older cats under anesthetic. They want over $600 for a "level 3" dental - that's just...

Last summer, after my cat had been staring at floor vents for some weeks, I finally heard a rat gnawing on the floorboards. Clearly, she either smelled or heard him long before I knew that he was there. I was eventually able to find the hole he was using to enter and leave the space under the...

We pulled this beautiful cat from a county kill-shelter- What a beauty- with a personality to match. http://maxshouse.com/Shelter/MC_mix.jpg

Hi, I'm trying to figure out if one of my cats is sick, seriously sick, or just being the very definition of moody lately. first of all, I have 2 cats. 1 female short hair who has always been kind of tiny, not usually more than 7lbs, probably sitting around 5 right now spayed when she was only...
