The neatest thing... I knew cats had good control over their tails, but last night, Ruprecht and I was laying in the floor and he startedt his thing with his tail... like he was tickling my leg with the end of it... he'd dangle it over my leg...then barely touch it.. and jiggle it...like we might...

Thought this was interesting. I talked to my Grandmaw today, her daughter and son-n-law trapped a cat. (several years ago) She said they just knew the cat was going to kill itself trying to get out of the trap. They took him to the vet, then decided to keep him. He's real big, and she said the...

Hi- I adopted 2 beautiful brothers from the animal shelter on Sept 29. The shelter told us that they were 2 yrs old and that they were originally brought in sometime in Feb 05. Then (not sure when), someone adopted them, only to return them to the shelter in early Sept. After a check-up, our vet...

Dear Cat Experts, Please explain cat teleportation in layman's terms. I found some info on google but it was difficult to understand. Thanks in advance - AJ

I've receintly installed a ceiling fan (and am scheduled to install 2 more). My 3 year old cat--timid but usually friendly and happy--is completely terrorized by the site of it, even when it's off. He will not go anywhere near the room with the new fan and has taken to crouching low and staring...

Just curious, I have a cat that doesn't knead. All of my other cats knead, and any other cat I've had did. I got her at about 8 months old, don't know much about her life before that. She purrs and headbutts and likes to cuddle, just doesn't do the kneading thing. -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons...

Thats a trip. A Cat that goes into a bottle. Very impressive flexibility I say. See for yourself: http://www.jumpingpixels.com/feline.html

Hi, One of my cats does something that has always confused me,. so I figured I would ask about it here. He licks things. I know a lot of cats do, but I dont mean food things, or plastic, which he does, but he is constantly licking the edges of things. Of anything, a book, a table, a wall, anything...

This cat belongs to a friend of a friend. A five year old altered male that pees on the bed. He has been to the vet and was given a clear bill of health. This has been going on for quite a while. My recommendation would be a Feliway diffuser in the bed room. Are there any...

Ok I know there was a subject about this a while back but I just wondered where everyone is getting their essential Christmas cat themed gifts. I particularly after a set of tables mats (for my table not the cat!!) with a black cat silhouette design or black paw prints design - if such a...

My 1 year old cat Sweety was not feeling well last night or this morning. She threw up around midnight (about an hour after she'd had her dinner), and then this morning at 8am she refused to eat her breakfast. Also this morning her ears seemed very hot to the touch. I was going to wait to see...

Hi, Brought new cat home last week - went great - last two days I have found her poop on the floor beside the litter box. It is lightly dusted with litter - so it is being thrown out of the litter box - any ideas? Thanks, Suki

Does anybody have a clue as to why, almost every morning, my cat throws up? He's 13 and this has been going on for years. I can only give him four pellets of food at a time, with each dispense of food being about 45 minutes apart. Only then will he not throw up. He doesn't eat any people food...

Hello, i am new to this group. I have a 13 year old cat that is a short haired tabby. Recently, he has been diganoised with thyroid problem. Since I am unavailable to pay the cost of testing and vet visits, the vet gave me a medication that was too high for him because he keeps pucking it up. I...

Hi , I'm new to this group, perhaps this has already been mentioned but thought I would give this tip I have discovered by myself. I have a very agressive 1-1/2 year old spoiled male cat. We play constantly and on most occasions, I walk away bleeding and all sctatched to hell.....

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...

Is our cat too old to add a kitten to our family? A year and a half ago, a 5 month old kitten walked into our lives. Very sweet and incredibly smart cat. So we fixed her, vaccinated her and kept her. She's now about 2 and an indoor cat (well, we take her out on a leash, sometimes.) Very social...

I may be getting a slightly used cat tower and was wondering if they were safe for my cats? Is there any germs or health issues I should be concerned about that could carry over to my cats if I bring this thing home? I've been told the cats that had this before were healthy but you never know...

Many months ago, I bought some of those dumb looking Hartz colorful plastic balls with a bell inside. Recently, Kitty has been getting a lot of self-propelled exercise with a yellow one of those. More fun than playing with his tail, I guess.
