Just wondering if anyone has creative ideas for what to do with old cat litter that has been reused for months on end... We have four boxes and use clumping litter with sifting pan liners. Every week we sift out the clumpy bits, add a generous sprinkle of deodorizer to the box, and top off with...

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...

First, the Bengal Breed was developed by crossing the ASIAN LEOPARD CAT with a short haired domestic. That makes the Bengal both a hybrid as well as a domestic cat. The eat the same thing any other domestic breed eats and are subject to the same ailments as any other domestic breed. They are...

Why do cats like emery boards so much? Mine tries to eat it. And also digs very deep into my wife's makeup bag to get at it. Is the smell of the glue they use? Or more of a texture thing? -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1...

The cat and I are both diabetic. I check my own sugar 6-8 times per day, I check his twice. We have separate glucometer kits. Today, while preparing to check the cat's sugar, I had a brain fart and instead of lancing the cat I lanced my own forearm with a lancet that had been previously used on the...

Hello - I'm a somewhat frequent Usenet user, but never here. My parents have a cat that it's now time to put to sleep. He's about 14 years old and over the last month (or less) has ballooned up with fluid in the abdomen. The vet did a blood test (negative for any diseases) and then an...

Hi, I've never had to look for a veterinarian. Now that our Georgia has CRF, we would like to find one closer to us, possibly one that has weekend hours, too. What questions do you ask when looking for a vet, or is it all trial and error? Word of mouth would be a good place to start, but most of...

I was at a new-to-me vet yesterday. My regular vet was full and would only take my cat if I would drop him off so they could look at him between other patients and even then they were going to charge me for an unscheduled office visit. I was peeved and went elsewhere. I liked the new vet, an...

I was outside at about 9 PM working on my cats' pen when this handsome fella strolls up, meows at me, and plops down about 10 feet away. I thought he was probably someone's cat who got out because there aren't many strays or ferals in my town. The few that I know of hang out by the restaurants in...

The momma cat started hissing and raising hell toward her four month old kittens, then she went missing for seven days. Now that she's back she looks like she has a buldge and she's passing gas like the last time she was pregnant. I had planned to get her fixed, but expected it would be at least a...

Subject: New Onset Spraying in 13 yr old neutered Himalayan male For the last 6 months, a female cat and her two kittens have taken over our yard (and we've been feeding them but mostly keeping them out of the house.) Mr. Redford our 13 year old cream point Himalayan and only house cat has been...

Hi all Just got a new kitten last wednesday. A friend came over with him and said his friend found him abandoned along with 2 of his littermates which were dead. Initially I said I did not want the cat as I have four others so he said they were going to put him back where they found him. At that...

Hi everyone - it's me again. Millie has been home now for two days. She was spayed on Wednesday; the day before she received her shots. I don't think she has eaten since Tuesday night - I'm very worried. I called the vet today, they said to come in tomorrow to get some a/d food which should tempt...

I realize this post is nearly a year old, but since I am here for the same issue, I thought I'd attach my concerns to this post. Ninetten days ago, my 8 1/2 year old cat george was howling. I took him into the ER and he was blocked. They unblocked him, and my vet kept him for a few days and sent...

The good news: Malcolm went back to the humane society, into the multiple cat room. He's in hog heaven. Chowing down, loving the other kitties. What's amusing is that he's a big solid boy with huge paws and not an ounce of chub on him but he's so easily intimidated by the black and white female in...

There's nothing actually *wrong* with Meep's eyes, at her last physical they tested her vision and looked at her eyes, but I've noticed a curious thing: One eye appears darker than the other in certain light (always the same eye) - is it possible for the tapus luteum (sp? the reflective bit...

I am currently looking for home for FelV+ stray, Big Boy, (about which I posted before). I have other cats who cannot be exposed to him so he is isolated. I get very conflicting info about one thing: I would be able to let him loose in my bedroom (instead of the attached bath & large dog...

A friend of mine is moving from Scotland to Norway soon with her cat and has to replace her current rather tatty carrier with a new IATA approved one. We were looking at them in a pet shop at the weekend and she liked the idea of one with an opening grill on the top as well as at the front grill ...
