Two of four Camrose teens accused of microwaving a cat to death begged their ring leader to stop the torture but he refused - cooking the cat to a crisp before scrawling "You HAD a nice cat" on a wall of the house, one of the four youths claimed to Sun Media yesterday. "(One of us) found the cat...

I know it is not the most refined question you are likely to face today, but I would like to ask the more experienced crowd he How do you treat a cat when she throws up? It has got to be uncomfortable and disagreeable moment for them. The cat I feed tries to run away from the spot when this...

I live in an apartment building and already have a (100% indoor) cat. We are allowed only one pet in a unit here. Recently I saw a very friendly stray outside and gave her some food. Now she shows up at my door. It is also obvious that she is very pregnant. (She is so friendly that I know she...

If you are making your own cat food, what is your cat's favorite catfood? I've been feeding raw ground turkey. At first she ate it for a few days, then refused it. I tried again after a week and she ate only about 2/3 of it. Next day I tried leaving the supplements - calcium, B-complex, Vit E,...

HELP! I have called every source (spca/animal welfare groups/pet shops) imaginable trying to find a home for my 18 year old cat Willi. We are moving into a house that just is not set up for his regular incontenance near the scratch box and hair balls. The ole boy is still in pretty good shape...

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,...

Any ideas on what can cause both of my cats to start drooling? It's not a lot of drool, but just a single drop that's slowly dripping out of the side of their mouths. I noticed it first in my 9 year old, Kotyo, yesterday afternoon. About 2 hours after he ate, I went to pet him and his lower jaw...

I have two adopted cats and both were outdoor cats in the past with previous owners. Both of my cats look longingly out the windows and try to escape anytime the door opens even for a second. One of my cats seems "depressed". He sleeps all day and never moves from under a chair. However, the...

I have an 12-13 week old male kitten. I got him for my fiance for christmas but unfortunatley our daughter is allergic to this little guy. We are giving him away to anyone with an open heart and an open home. He is grey in color. He is very playful, in good health, and he is excellent with children...

Hi all - Thanks for 'being' with me during the trials of Millie's illness. On the weekend things were great - her appetite returned and she was chowing down on food and apparently her personality was coming back. The vet mentioned that there were some more sores appearing on her back that he was...

We've now had Marbles 2 weeks. He's a darling, sweet kitty that purrs all the time, potties where he's supposed to, doesn't have any horrible habits but...my original kitties, Scottie and Abbey, are horrified of him. We kept Marbles confined to two rooms for about 4 days when we first got...

I came home from my walk the other night to find a car parked in front of my driveway. There was a woman standing in front of it looking at something on the road. It was a dead cat. The woman had obviously seen it in the road and stopped, not knowing what to do. She asked me. I said, "I know...

Well, Kitty really went downhill yesterday, Saturday...in the A.M. her left leg gave out..she was limping. Took her to the vet for her quartizone shot.. He watched her walk around, now she was more flat-footed. He said it was all related to the liver tumor, said that it was cancerous because if...

Is anyone familiar with some kind of indoor Christmas lights that are cat proof? My friend would like to put lights on the tree in her condo but her cat persists in trying to eat them. I believe she is using the LED lights. I'm not sure if a cat could actually break one of those and ingest...

Martha, my 5 year old domestic long hair mix likes to hang out on the balcony, and specifically perched on the 4 inch ledge. The ledge she prefers is over concrete, about 12 feet to the ground. She is not calm while hanging out on the ledge, but restless, looking over the edge like she is...

Thought I'd just post a quick message about how things turned out with the strays I've been working with. The little black and white guy with the severe URI went to a no kill shelter and was adopted two days later. The brown tabby with the degloved chin and FIV finally tested negative for FIV and...

I was considering doing cat sitting to make some extra money this summer as well as get even more involved in helping cats. There appears to be a big need for it and with my love of cats I figured why not. What does everyone else think? It seems that doing stuff like this is getting to be the...
