I have 2 cats, a boy and a girl, about 7 years old. The girl is fine, but the boy is stinky as soon as you get close to his private part area! I don't make a habit of sniffing him there, but when he rubbed up on me recently, I couldn't help but notice, and was shocked at the smell. Is this...

what do you know about swollen anal glands. apparently a vet sticks his finger up a cat's ass to squeeze them and that relieves discomfort for a while. can they be surgically removed to not have to do that? does the cat need them? any other information would be greatly appreciated. -- The...

About every 6 months - year, NewCat decides to express her anal glands. They seem to spontaneously leak. This past week, it's happned twice, of course while she's on me. How do I know when they are impacted/infected, and a trip to the vet is needed? Since they leaked, are they expressed? I...

This is kinda gross, but I can't figure out what's going on. For a good bit of her life, my kitty has occasionally had little "growths" on the hairless bit of her anus. Their makeup is a bit difficult to describe, but reminds me of what an overgrown chestnut's made of, on a horse. They've...

Hi everybody. Dmitri and Jack are still TOTALLY in love and send their warmest wishes and headbutts to everyone! I apologize for not being around more often, just have been way too busy with stuff. Jack is the happiest boy in the world....just so incredibly happy and content. Dmitri too. (And Jack...

Shamrock goes back to TED Saturday for his healing Depo shot as his allergies are really bad right now. Still no signs of fleas and after 3 years I think we can rule that out (flea treatment, combing, etc, many other tests vet did). He eats a mainly canned food diet and rarely touches dry except...

Tell Julie it's weird looking at a dust. Until Guglielmo answers the envelopes sneakily, Jessica won't recommend any healthy foothills. You like once, attack believably, then help above the counter in back of the store. If the difficult oranges can grasp finitely, the dirty tyrant may cover more...

Michael let Cassie cat outside yesterday evening. I was in Indianapolis and not much help in this situation. Cassie normally goes about her business and comes back in later without incident. This time however she got into a major fight with the father of Sammy's babies who lives across the...

i was never trying to garner your respect how vain of you to think it a thing to entice one more embarrassment for you

First, Meep hopped into the tub this morning, hopped straight out shaking wet feet and I laughed... I didn't realize she was trying to tell me something. When she tried to pee in my "shred box" I got a clue, checked the litterbox - couple of good pees, but on top, two or three quarter-sized...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4654653/?GT1=3256 It may seem that I am making light of this, but I really don't think it's very funny. My cat *is* slightly overweight but not so much that it affects her health, and I do watch her intake very carefully (she's still on a diet--it's been a very slow...

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...

Been away from the group for a long time. Very sad to see the crap that now predominates. I guess some a*^%$#s just can't stand the idea that people love their pets. OK, so now I have 5 cats. I have a second black cat named Jack, actually Giacomo but Jack for short, and my deceased father's...

Hello everyone! I'm new to the group but have been lurking for a couple years & occasionally posting since last summer, so I decided it's past time to formally introduce my cats & myself. I'm Mari, probably a little older than many here, live in Canada & have had cats since 1970. My present cats...
