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...

My 12 year old male tabby is exhibiting behaviour that has my vet stumped. For the last few weeks he vomits once a day. The vomiting always occurs somewhere between midnight and 6 a.m. The vomit consists of a small amount of liquid that looks like the residue of the dry cat food he is fed. On...

Hi, I'm lucky in the respect that my cat doesn't scratch the carpet. At the moment I've got a "twist pile" carpet but now fancy a "loop pile". I've heard that loop pile isn't a good idea if you've got a cat, but as he doesn't scratch at the moment will start if I get a loop pile as it would give...

hate to be the bearer of bad news. just visited a specialist today. was told in cats that have the habit of scratching furniture it is pretty much impossible to change. the only way to have a cat who wont scratch your funiture is to train as a kitten to scratch on post. once they are adult and...

I'd like to teach my two rather wimpy kittens to hunt, or at least to give them something entertaining and instructive to do. I want them to be more like my girlfriends' cats, that cool cat who killed bunnies and birds. I am considering the idea of buying several small rodents from the pet store...

Hi every1, I was just wondering if anyone had any views on which type of litter (clay, wood, catsan, silica) is best to use. AND which kind of litter tray? Has anyone tried the 'self-cleaning ones'? I have one kitten (he is 10 weeks old). Any thoughts will be a great help

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...

On 2005-01-14, Barb penned: Bought a little alarm through a catalog- I've seen these in a couple of catalogs- and it works! My two older cats never go on the glass top coffee table or the glass top table by the mirrored wall. They are allowed everyplace else. But the baby (2 years old)...

Both I and my cat need a weighing scale and I was wondering if we could get by with one. For myself, I don't require analysis of water, fat, bone, etc.; accurate and consistent weight readings would do. Good readable display etc. For the kitty, I was thinking it should be accurate to 0.1 lbs....

I'm about to buy a leather sofa. Any advice about training/preventing cats from damaging it? TIA Stuart Reed

I trully do not know if anything can be done at this point. Figured will throw it up there, see if someone had simmilar problem. The cat is 5 years old and extremely submissive. Its afraid of everything and anything and recently it started 'spilling outside'. The cycle goes: the cat gets scared I...

I'm wondering if anyone out there has figured out any good ways to track down missing cats? Here's my situation. My mother adopted two cats a few weeks ago. We think they are brothers although we don't know for sure. Their names are Fred and Barney. They are a year and a half old, male,...

Why is it that cats think playing hide and go seek is fun or funny? Everyone is looking for you, calling your name, thinking you're hurt and you don't bother to reply or come out. Then you just suddenly show up like nothing happened. Very funny. Or how about waiting to go up the stairs until a...

This cat behaved so unlike any other cat I ever had. For a start, it rarely ever meowed, instead, it cooed like a pigeon. It also had those thick horizontal long hairs in the ears, perhaps you can see them in the first pic. It was also extremely smart. It had a very strange personality, as if it...

Poor Persians. Bred for a feature which makes it hard for them to breathe and leaves them susceptible to upper respiratory infections. Purchased for their beauty and status as a "rich person's cat", but then neglected because they require so much work. We get yet another Persian in horrible...

Hi, I had my cat Callie to the vet a couple of months ago for a checkup and the doc told me she had to have a tooth extracted but he did bloodwork first and found certain kidney levels were a little elevated so she was put on a special diet of Hill's k/d prescription food. She does not like this...

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...
