I am pleased to report that I was able to give my cat two tape worm pills, without it being a traumatic experience for either of us! Never had a cat, until three years ago when I got this guy. Ken

I left the house clean this morning when I came home it was ragged with **** everywhere kittens ****ting behind my bed, peeing in my bed! yeah! there's a couple that haven't figured it out THE WHOLE HOUSE SMELT LIKE 10 YEAR OLD CRAP Lucy in the kitchen being as ugly as ugly can get TO A KITTEN

Hi all - Yesterday one of my kitties passed away. Thank you so much to all who responded with kind words and prayers. The reason I write now is that my other kitty is now by himself. He seems to be doing okay but I know he's looking for his sister. I'm wondering about leaving him by himself...

I have a dilema. I want to go camping this year for a few days at a time but am concerned with leaving my cat at home by herself while I am away. My place gets hot during the summer and I can't really leave the windows open wide enough for it to be any benefit to cooling the air in the...

I'm taking Kira to the vet in the morning. Hopefully, a few people on the east coast will see this before I go. It may be nothing at all, but am concerned. She's a couple times where she was either constipated, blocked, or having a stomach ache. The first time was a mild version of what happened a...

OK. If anyone has been reading this group for a long time, you will think I am just gabbing and not serious. SO, for those willing to listen, let's assume I have learned a WHOLE lot over the last few years. IF I had realized what I now know, a lot would have turned out differently. BUT. I am...

Yes, dh and I may need to have our heads examined. We really do not have to have another cat. Especially having one boy who was dx 3 months ago with renal failure :-( It pushed us over the top though on Monday when "Whitey" was out in the rain and finally found some underbrush in the back of our...

After the vet determined that her thyroid levels are still within normal limits and have remained consistent now for several years, she did another ultrasound and an EKG and the results show that there has been no change in her heart in those years. (She had an ultrasound of her heart just after...

Harriet is a bookstore cat who spent time in the hospital twice in August, for constipation. She's currently eating only canned Eukanuba low residue food, and gets 1ml of Lactulose daily. Since Hariet is one of two cats in the store, I still don't know how much she's going to the bathroom. I...

i am traveling from New York to Boston and i need to take Shaina with me because theresn't going to be anyone left in our apartment and even if our two flatmates stayed, i wouldn't leave her with them. i am afraid that a four hour bus ride will be too much for Shaina. i have no other way of...

My Touhey is six months old and has never touched the ground, he has two locations where he can sit or lay and look out the window at a pond with geese and ducks and other birds and a field no other houses. He is a Siberian and they are known for not being very vocal and they don't meow its more...

Happy holidays to everyone. Be back some time in the New Year. Best wishes to all the kitties and their slaves.

We like to pride ourselves that this group, rec.pets.cats.anecdotes, is a nice, friendly group and we live quite nicely without unpleasant, argumentative threads in our daily lives... so if y'all are going to continue this arguement, please do so in private, or somewhere else. Stacey (Who only...

Nows here's something I could use, a good walk. I work hard and sweat, but this does not replace aerobics, getting my heart rate up. I think I will leash my cat and take him on a walk. (remember...two go out, but only one comes back)... why do I get the feeling this is not going to work

I just uploaded a bunch of pictures of my cats to yahoo. Any comments on Felix's and Oscar's weight will be appreciated! Thanks Judy F http://photos.yahoo.com/catstoy28

My two-year old inside/outside cat has gradually developed a twitch in his tail. While his tail is held up, he will twitch it by rotating it along its axis. Possibly with a slight side-to-side twitch of his hindquarters. This looked a little bit like spraying behavior, but without the spraying. ...

My cat has an interesting tail quiver. It is not the usual twitch or tail slap on the floor. She actually makes it quiver very rapidly while it is raised straight in the air. I have never noticed any of my other cats exhibiting this behavior. Anyone familiar with this behavior and what it means?

I'm just curious about this - Damien walks from room to room with his tail straight out from his body. Does anyone know what this means ?? Thanks! -- Christi Stampin' Up! Representative

First, please don't look at the pictures if you have a weak stomach. Bear has a problem with his tail. He's already seen a vet, she said the tip of the tail is dead and that it will fall off on it's own, but if it gets infected, or there is any puss or ooze or anything, bring him in and they'll...
