I had to have Tiger shaved back in June to get rid of a lot of bad mats. I want to get a grooming brush that will help me to prevent future mats. What is the best one for this purpose (Zoom Groom)? TIA ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N -...

Right now, Kiki is lying on my left arm and chest, sleeping and obviously dreaming (I compute while lying down). Sometimes when she falls asleep, she starts to twitch like a dog does but not so obviously. I'm sure it is common, but just in case, are others are familiar with it?

On the Today show this morning there was a very upsetting report of cat mutilations in these two areas. People are urged to keep pets indoors until this sick person/people are caught. The cats have been found cut in half with one half missing or completely without organs ( surgical removal) . One...

How much do kittens grow from 6 months to a year? Except for Maine Coons (who can keep growing for up to 5 years - although with Sammy it's mostly sideways growth ;) - how long do cats keep growing. I'm asking because Ozzy is now at 10 pounds. His bro-fur Archer is only 7.5. -- Hugs,

I took Harriet to the cats only vet this morning. She still wasn't able to go to the bathroom since her last hospitalization on Tuesday/Wednesday. I called the cat vet this morning and they said I could drop her off between 8:00-9:30am. It was already 8:15, and it takes me about an hour to get...

There has to be some material cats can use for indoor climbing besides carpet or Sissel rope. Maybe something that also can be attached to a 2 x 4. Maybe some sort of plastic grating (yes, of course it will have to be safe). Next time I go to the hardware store, I plan to spend a lot of time...

After last Monday's escapade with the baby squirrel I was hoping for a little respite. No such luck. Yesterday as I was vacuuming I pushed aside a piece of furniture and one of my cats was shortly thereafter quite animated. I went downstairs, came up an hour later and found 5 cats in...

I have a beutiful brown spotted Bengal who is gorgeous and I love him to bits, but he has one habit that is driving me crazy. I have a window that I have put venetian blinds on so I can see my computer screen better on sunny days. Even though the cat always had a window he preferred to look out...

I have noticed over several months that many of our American friends are involved in Petsmart adoption days @ Petsmart. Would I be right in assuming that rescue dogs & cats are available for adoption on Saturdays & Sundays? How does this work? Does it mean that each shelter gets the chance to put...

Well guys, I guess I am not going to have much luck with having those kinds of cats that let you whip them into your arms for a hug... I haven't been here (in the ng) for awhile, but thought I'd check in to update on Sam. I adopted her in April at the age of about 1 1/2. She was living in a...

I have seen a number of messages on this NG where people refer to their cats as "elderly" with little chance of a quality of longer life, with implications that it would be unkind to prolong the cat's life when the cat shows signs of illness. In some cases, these "elderly" cats have only been...

I've read the archives, not sure what the concensus is. My cat pees against the side of the box every time and I have to scrape the clump residue from the side (not fun). I would like to know opinions of natural biodegradable clumping litter, with notes about how they act when stuck to sides...

Hi, I was on here over a month ago and several people helped me w/a problem my cat, K.C., was having. Thank you all. It seems that the situation has not cleared up. She is large (18lbs). She was leaking this foul smelling brown stuff from her butt. I took her to the vet, who said because she's so...

We took Precious kittie, est. age 8, 9 months to be spayed at a small vet clinic in Lima, Peru; after the surgery, wound seemed longer than needed to be able to enter abdomen and remove the uterus and ovaries, which we were shown after the butcher-like procedure. We were given no post-op...
