I am pleased and proud to announce the arrival of "Bubba" on December 3, 2012. I had been thinking of getting another cat for a while because Pookie seemed so lonely and was sleeping all day. Bubba comes from Valle de Guadalupe and was delivered to me by my housekeeper, Alma. Bubba has a good...

Recentlly I had to re-home my male cat due to moving. I found a home for him, but the owner said that he would hide away and only come out at night to eat. Wasn't very affectionate, which is unusual for him . Would growl if any one went near him and he had a very bad habit of toileting...

I have two cats right now, one just about a year old and the other maybe one and a half. Both fixed males. A friend is worried about a very cute cat named Puff that was thrown out of his home by a neighbor. Puff was having trouble locating the litterbox. My understanding is that the neighbors had...

Last night at about 2:30 AM my husband woke me up to tell me our cat Simon had possibly swallowed a sewing needle and thread. Sure enough, after an emergency x-ray, the vet found it in Simon's intestine. The surgery went well, the needle hadn't penetrated anything so that was good. The...

Hello folks. I came home from eating dinner tonight and started petting my cat when he meowed in pain at me. Upon further inspection I realized his tail was all the way down. Maceo is a year-old Siamese mix and his tail is always up flowing like a question mark. There is some movement.. when I...

Hi, I have a twelve and a half year old cat who seems to be losing weight despite the fact that she has a big appetite, plays a lot, and generally seems healthy. She's been somewhat overweight (not obese) since she had her second litter of kittens in 1994 but as of late she feels like she's...

I cleaned up the enclosure under the deck and made sure all ground stakes, staples and cable ties are secure enough after months of having removed the pet door (too drafty in the winter). Added a few more stakes to hold the mesh down into the ground at tighter intervals to make it more...

I picked up a new playmate for Espy. I went into the wilds of New Jersy yesterday with my co-worker and made friends with his cat Nipsy, and then took him with me. That was the plan. Nipsy showed up outside their door a few months back and they fed him. Then, after he was attacked by something...

A Human shelter burned down last night in Florida, USA. It is a Tragic story, & I hoped that by posting it, that some of us might be moved enough to help them in some small way if you can...? I found it horrifying & such a terrible shame too... ( VIEWER...

I went to buy the Marinated Chicken or Tuna Feast in Savory Juices, as Phil had pointed out, they are low in phosphorus. And low in kilocalories, I might add. BUT, it's now Marinated Morsels Chicken Feast in Gravy, grrrr. New Bite Size! Whoppee. Web site, click here for more info. Get a bigger...

when my kitty no longer likes her food, canned food, she "buries" it with motions around the bowl that she makes in the litter box. i've seen cats do that before, but it's cute every time. -L

I was using Fresh Step, and found that there was little or no odor and it was easy to clean. Tried a corn-based one, but didn't like the smell. Went back to Fresh Step. Tried Arm & Hammer, but there was distinct Eau de Cat Box in the house and I found it very hard to scoop: it tended to form a...

The sides are pretty tall, but they can jump. Seems they already prefer the huge 100+ quart Sterilite box for a litter box. I was using one of those grocery store style maroon litter boxes (Hartz I guess). Had to clean the sides every few days. I guess that proves it stays clean not because of...

My two year old kitty recently had a urination problem. After exam and medication Vet said give her more wet food because that increases her moisture intake. Problem is she only really likes the gravy from inexpensive brands like Friskies and 9-Lives. I want to give her something better since...

So we took her to the vet. The oldest of our girls. Made mention of her in a previous post, entitled "silly kitty". For starters, keep in mind she's always been a small and slightly frail cat. The doctor confirmed dental trouble in the way of some gum disease to an extent of something awful,...

My 14-week old kitten Fracas has still not completely overcome the illness that causes him to sneeze rapidly about 4-30 consecutive times, mostly in the morning just before I give him a refrigerated liquid suspension of amoxicillin. Fracas appears to respond positively to amoxicillin, although the...

I have an 8-9 week old kitten. She has been the perfect animal except for one bad habit. When I am sleeping, usually 3-4am in the morning, she will curl up next to my head on the pillow or on my chest. She will then stretch her paws and put them on my face and start taking small bites or nips at...

I have seen this mentioned from time to time but is there any proof?

my cat has mild fleas. have combed her and found maybe a dozen at best and going to be attempting to bath her with dr. bronnes castile soap tomorrow. however, a couple days ago, she scooted across the floor when i got home, adding additional worries now when i thought i was making progress. she is...
