Every year I completely replace my litter pans - just toss out the old ones and start fresh. Last night I went out and plunked down $8.99 each for two "Giant" Van Ness litter pans. I hired a babysitter and spent two and a half hours today cleaning the pet area - replacing all the bedding,...

Hi, I have recently adopted a small stray cat, hoping that she will make my older 7 year old cat more playful. Unfortunatly, I have discovered that she has tons of energy and rarely sits down. Whenever somebody is at the door she comes running, she climbs until she gets right under the ceiling,...

Looking at her website (www.puppykats.com) in one of the photos, she has some kind of shack behind her that she keeps the cats in. Sounds like a cat/puppy mill :( Sad too when she sells one of these "puppykats" and it doesn't live up to what someone expects, then what will happen to it. (my own...

Hi I have four feral 4 month old kittens living in my back yard. I trapped them and then took them to the human society / spca last week and got the tested, shots and fixed. The have been released and are doing great.

From the San Jose Mercury News... "The Bush administration is proposing far-reaching changes to conservation policies that would allow hunters, circuses and the pet industry to kill, capture and import animals on the brink of extinction in other countries. Giving Americans access to endangered...

My 7 year old female cat, Dirty Face has red showing thru her white fur on her nose. Last Aug. when I took her for her annual shots I mentioned it to the vet. He said to put Neosporin on it. It didn't help. Then it was just red between the eyes now it's down her nose. What on earth could cause...

Once in America a plane crashed, only a monkey who was traveling in the plane was left alive. Fortunately the monkey was intelligent enough to understand our language and reply in actions. The officials went to see the monkey in the hospital and had a talk with the monkey. Officer: "When the...

Dmitri sometimes misses his litter box by a fraction of an inch, and shoots all over the floor. If I happen to be in there when he's going and see that he's missing, I can physically push his rear into position and all is fine, but you can imagine the messes. So I had gone online to find out how...

I have an 8-year old male cat who has been putting on some weight the past few years. He weighed in at 14 pounds his last vet visit in April and was put on a diet (weight control dry Iams, 1/2 cup a day). He initially adjusted well to his new diet, but since we moved a month ago he has been...

"Popof 3D" wrote in message ... I just got 10-year old cat. I haven't bought her a cat tree yet as I'm saving up for it. In the meantime, I got those cheap scratch posts (sisal) that hang on a door and a box containing...

I have a 13 1/2 year old male tabby. About four months ago he started to vomit usually, but not always shortly after eating. Since I only feed him once a day that meant he threw up all his food for the day. Right after that he'd be begging for food. I took him to the vet who examined him and...

That's why we spay most of our kittens before they go out to their new home. Find a vet who will spay her now, unless there are actual health concerns (and not her age). The youngest we've seen a kitten in heat was 3 months, soon after her adoption. At that time, we weren't insisting on "early"...

Seems like everybody has a website these days, so I was curious how many people in this newsgroup had sites they'd like to share? :)

My cats will often, both while fighting with a piece of paper and when just walking down the hall, look up at a bare wall and jump about two feet off the floor and take off as if I had caught them stealing off the dinner table. It's like they saw something that startled them that was not visible...

Hi, I'm thinking of ordering some of the Feliway diffuser refills from US as they're not available (yet) in Australia. Can anyone tell me if it would be possible to empty the contents into the vial of one of the household "Ambipur" type diffusers (ie the supposedly nice smelling things people...

Hi all, I need some hints on the best way handle the cat while cutting his claws. He is still skiddish and still will not go near my husband - so this will be a one lady job. :O) Thanks Danielle
