Hello. Any help will be appreciated. I have 5 cats. All have been neutered/spayed. I have one cat (male) who is apparently being bitten behind one of his ears. I haven't seen the culprit who is doing it to him. I am giving first aid to him, and it starts to heal and then he apparently gets it...

There is a point in "The Godfather" by M. Puzo where one of the characters says, "I tried to live within the system, but the system failed me. Now, for justice, I must go to Don Corleone." That is what has happened here. I believe this can be avoided, in the future, if the participants in these...

Any ideas where to look for an independent lab to test some cat food for nutrient content? Found a couple sites online that do FDA labels for people food, but those places are awfully expensive. Maybe I should call my local university vet hospital...? Thanks, Corey

Cats enjoy clawing on it. Apparently does not hurt the Astroturf, yet. So it gives them good clawing exercise. My indoor cats have been doing it for many months. Just noticed the outside (neutered) cat claw on some Astroturf that's on the porch. They are attracted to it for that purpose.

I just got back from my vet a few hours ago who determined that my cat has a large abdominal tumor, says it's definitely advanced and combined with other symptoms (loss of appetite - I could only get her to eat about a tablespoon of wet food this morning - fever and listlessness) is recommending I...

Hi. My wife has lost two cats in the last few years that just ran away and never returned. So she is really concerned that our current indoor cat Brittney will flee now that she has gone out the doggie door a couple of times. We are currently locking the doggie door while she has full reign of the...

Hi everyone. I've been lurking and you all seem to be so helpful to those who need advice and I really need some. For about two weeks now, our whole family has been miserable. We have an indoor cat (no other animals) who has fleas. It is getting worse. Our legs are full of flea bites, my kids wake...

Have 2 cats, male & female. All of a sudden, like a screeching halt, after months of eating any hard food of any price level I gave them, they suddenly refuse to eat anything at all except soft food. A few days ago we couldn't find the stash of hard food we had on hand, and picked up a small can...

My cat has developed a cough and the vet and thought it may be the silica dust from the litter. The x-ray did not show anything serious. He was given Prednisolone which helped for a while then the cough and wheeze started up again. I tried the wheat litter Swheat only they licked the dust off of...

My cat - an abandoned stray - is truely lovable towards me in the middle of the night and first thing in the morning. We always thought she hated my husband and all men (as displayed by her action of running out of the door and away to hide everytime) but today I was with her in the morning and...

My cat evidently tracked through a puddle of latex paint outside today. The white pawprints in my room tell the tale. I assume she licked the paint from her paws and ingested some of it. Unfortunately, she's an adopted feral who refuses to be handled, and it takes two people to give her a bath,...

Meghan has set me up with someone who may be interested in adopting Henry! They'll be visiting tomorrow. I need to make sure Henry's been well-brushed... In anticipation of this, I took Henry to the vet today for a general once-over as well as a butt-shave. He seemed perfectly healthy, and the...

Does anyone else have a cat who goes nuts over the smell of Altoids? I have a friend who eats Altoids. When she comes over, my cat goes nuts - he goes to her and starts nuzzling around her pockets very persistantly trying to find the source of the smell. It's gotten to the point that even if she...

For goodness sake, ... hit her. not hard but enough so she knows its wrong. cats are amoral, avaricious and aggessive. you have to train them. gently, firmly but don't hurt them tho. they aint toys, they are animals. so dont hurt them but they shouldn't hurt you either.

It has been a while since I have had a kitten. My kitten is about 5 months old and I notice when she is sleeping that her breathing and heart beat is very rapid. She has been to the vet and all is fine with her - no underlying medical issues. She was spayed about a month ago. So do the breathing...

There is a sweet cat I am interested in at the shelter. The cat looks emaciated. She is sickly right now and is not very energetic, but she is eating and I hope she will put on weight. If the cat gains weight and starts appearing to be healthier, I wonder if she will be plagued with health...
