From: (Liz) I heard he has an IQ of 87 and severe dyslexia. That would explain things a bit. Actually I "heard" the same about you. Seriously, just because you "heard" something doesn't it give a grain of truth. Perhaps you can move this off-topic junk where it...

Hello, I have a bottle fed kitty with a problem. Naturally, since she was bottle fed, she has some issues...one of which is that she loves to chew the bristles off my hairbrush. She also likes to suck on my neck, but I can live with that. The scalp lacerations from blindly groping for my hairbrush...

I'm taking Cheeks to the vet tomorrow, just for a checkup. She appears to be doing better than ever, might actually be up to eight pounds now, bright-eyed, playful, and has that "ruffed," fluffy,healthy look. The thing is, She has not had a Depo shot since last November, and is not at all...

Greetings, I'm considering buying new living room furniture and would like to know what materials are safest when there are two active kitties in the house. The cats like to tear around the house with their nails out, and I've heard them scratching up the back of our existing couches while...

I just read an article online that is a perfect illustration of how cats potentially lose their homes because someone is suckered/manipulated by someone that they are "in love" with. That there is even a question in this woman's mind after what this jerk pulled is amazing to me. I wrote a response...

A friend of mine just emailed me with this dilemna. Any one have any ideas. My local HS would destroy the kitten, as would the county shelter, I'm sure. I gave her the name of a no-kill which would probably be her best bet for this area, but can anyone think of anything else??...

I decided since my cats loved this laser pointer so much I would try it with my dog just to see what he thought. He didn't even seem to notice it he just kept running around with his tennis ball in his mouth ignoring the red dot. I tried it for awhile but he just didn't seem to care. :)

I have two 9 month old kitties, a brother and sister. The female is ok with staying in the house, but the male really wants to go out. I live in SoCal so I have both traffic and coyotes to worry about, there's no way I can allow the cat out. Due to a mishap, he finally got out and was out for a...

My cat has the vet dumbfounded. She has these little bumps on the back of her leg and she bites at them, causing open sores. The vet shaved the cat's leg and looked at the bumps and could not come up with a logical reason for the bumps. He wants to do a biopsy but I would like to try and avoid...

Two weeks ago my wife and I adopted a 6 month old Calico female kitten from a local animal shelter. She is adjusting very well and is not causing any problems. It is time to trim her claws and we don't know how to properly hold her while doing so. She is still shy but no longer afraid of us. ...

Hello, I have a cat who is just over two years old. He is healthy and happy but lately, once every three or four days , he has been throwing up a bit. I thought that this might be due to hair balls so have been giving him treats which are supposed to prevent hair ballsbut thus far, they...

Dear Friends, Three months ago I took in two homeless kittens (a brother and a sister). They were doing fine --- eating their Kitty Chow, getting de-flea-ed and de-wormed, etc. They are now venturing outside and the female contracted a nasty head cold (much sneezing, nasal congestion --- all the...

Hi! I recently discovered that my 9 yr old kitty, Sniper, has lost his hair under his armpit. I have an appt. with the vet this week, but I am wondering if anyone has ever seen anything like this? The area doesn't seem irritated or sore and I haven't seen him grooming excessively. Does anyone...

Is it normal for a male cat to have to stay overnight at the vet after being neutered? I had to take him at 8:00 this morning. W
