I have 2 cats that I'm sick of plucking ticks off them when they come in from playing outdoors. My husband & I want to convert them to indoor only. Does anyone experienced this issue and have any tips on doing this?

Hi! My name is Kevin and I have two cats named Scruffy and Ruffy. I post messages on this group and I am looking for a simlilar group for dogs. Does anyone know of such a thing? If you do could you respond? Thank you.

As I mentioned in a previous post, a cat in my neighborhood visits my home regularly once or twice a day. I have checked around, she doesn't belong to anyone. She started coming to relax on our 3rd floor apartment's back-porch (which is very quiet, good view, many cushioned chairs!). Later I...

Hi. My name is Sara, and this is my first time here. I'm just trying to find out some information on possible causes of my cat's cough, before calling the vet. Our cat, Butthead, is a 1 1/2-year old Ragamuffin (long hair). Before we were married, my husband bought Butthead from the...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone out there has used 'washable' cat litter.The idea is that it is used in a special filter tray. It does not absorb anything, just gives the cat digging material! The solids stay on top and are scooped away as usual, but the urine flows down into a container underneath...

We have a 6 1/2 year old female who tends to scratch the fur off her skin in areas on her back, sides, and rear underbelly around her legs. We have taken her to the Vet. He gave her a temporary solution of a cortisone shot. He also recommended flea drops instead of the collars we were using. We...

Actually two questions. Ray (My cute little 1 year old male cat) seems to be itching quite a bit in one area. I have no idea why he would be doing this. I've treated him with flea and tick repellent and he's an indoor cat. It's mildly worrying me. The other thing is, I noticed this morning he has...

Anyone know of anything safe to give an aging cat for arthritis? Joanne

Wellness was bought out - And DM is not as good as the wellness. Wondering what a good cat food would be to buy, less carbs, human quality, etc.....wellness used to be......buy not anymore. Thanks!

I took Ray in to get his claws clipped (He likes the woman that does it at the local store, and I have been trying to broach the subject of how she might like me for awhile, but that's another story for another message board) and it turns out Ray DOES have fleas. He's an indoor cat and I'm a...

does anyone know of any funding resources or organizations that help low income people get medical treatment for their pets? i'm aware of aaha and the pet fund.org, but i wouldn't qualify for aaha (because the specialist hospital i have my cat in isn't on their "approved" list") and i'm not sure...

This is a cat that we have had for about a month or so. This cat was very odd in that it wouldn't eat solid food at all. We had to get wet food and mix it with the solid. Today the cat just gets solid. The cats big problem is its tendency to hold in urine, and feces for as long as posible. ...

I have two female cats who are about four months apart in age. They are both really well behaved and we really don't have any issues. However, in December of 2005 the oldest Isabel my husband and I assume was angry with us because she was in the process of urinating on our blankets while we...

Having had a recent run of baby possum interactions with the boys, I figured that there must be an adult around. Sure enough, yesterday Espy was sitting on the back wall in the backyard, looking intensely at something behind a shed in the next yard. I look and there is an adult possum, moving...
