Both our cats are from same litter and are brother & sister of 8 years. The past 8 years they have been very loving and affectionate to each other, only with the odd paw fight with a bit of hissing. They are both primarily indoor cats but wonder in our garden when supervised. Two weeks ago at about...

Our new kitty is about 12 weeks old now. We've had him about a month. When we first got him, he was sweet and loveable and would come and sit in my lap. That lasted about a week. Now he's completely stand-offish, and runs and hides whenever I approach. If I ever do get to pick him up, he squirms...

hi I presently have 2 female fixed cats and 1 8-10 week old female kitten whom i rescused from a lady with at least 35 other cats and kittens. My mother wanted a part persian or hym but she felt so sorry for the kitten we have that she got her, and we are all happy for her. Well now she still...

Yesterday out tabby Boots looks as if he hurt his front left paw. He was cranky that he decided to hid in our yard. I thought keeping him in would be a better option than letting him stay out. We got him back in and off to the vet it was. The vet was nice (X-rays at C$190 that is high).

What do you do when the feral cat is to smart and won't go in the trap? We left the traps open for several days with food in them so the cats would get used to eating inside them. A week later we actually set the traps. We caught all but one of the cats. He was always very cautious but he would go...

Hi, we have a 3 yr. old cat. For the first 2 1/2 yrs. of his life, he has never been outside... we lived in an apartment, and the closest he could get was on the second floor porch, with no route to outside. Now we own a house with about 1.5 acre or so, a portion of it wooded and brush. Question...

Two days ago I adopted a 6 week old kitten. Does anyone have any good advice on how to introduce and acclimate the kitten to my older cat? Right now, I am keeping the kitten is confined to a bedroom. I have let him out a couple of times to explore the house. I tried to keep the kitten away...

Mary's gone forever. Have your fun NOT ANOTHER ****ING WORD ABOUT IT You wanted her gone? Done. She said! She is done.

We all remember this one. Leave it to Ford to blame an ad agency under their employ for this disgusting commercial. Now the ad agency is trying to state they also didn't sanction the commercial. Talk about passing the buck! http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0419ford-ad19-ON.html -- Panther...

is the light weight cat litter any good

My two cats (ages 13 and 12) are going in next week for a dental cleaning. The 13 year-old (Kitty) also needs a tooth extracted. The last time I got this done (different vet), it cost $700+ for the two of them (a couple extractions). The vet ran all kinds of blood tests and an IV. I felt $700...

I’m hoping that someone in this ng might have a clue for me. My 7 year old Maine Coon has been lethargic, had her to vet , Blood tests ok, and thyroid boarderline. Walks like old lady. Been tracking vitals, and constipation set in …brought back to vet. Yes, she was blocked. After irrigation...

A question for those of you who take your cats on road trips: How many consecutive hours in the car (in a carrier) seem to be easily tolerable for the cat? I have found that 6 or 7 hours is ok, but with pet-friendly hotels not being very prevalent, I'm wondering whether travel days could be...

I receive complaints about the Cat Deterrent. The elderly in particular use a cat-deterrent in their garden. It is a small apparatus with a speaker attached to it. It produces a high-pitched bleep of more than a 100 decibel. The sound is mostly only audible for children, youngsters and people...

Hi All: This has been a terrible two days for Tania, my 13 year old feral female Main Coon, and for me as well. Christmas eve Tania started bleeding from her vagina. I took her immediately to VERG http://www.vetemergencyreferral.com] Xrays, ultrasound, and blood tests revealed her uterus was...

Hi all - I am so stressed and need people to keep my baby in their thoughts today. I recently moved into a new house last week and it backs onto a forest, with few neighbours. Anyway I haven't let my cat out because I wanted him to become familiar with the territory first on a leash. However at our...

Feast your eyes on this Sweetheart! She was surrendered about a month an a half ago because her owners suddenly became "allergic". I'm actually afraid to adopt her to anyone. I make it a point to spend a few minutes with her every day. She's about three years old and an absolute sweetheart. ...
