Do cats feel the heat during the summer hot weather? If they do, is there anything we need to do to cool them off? Zoe

I just got a new rescue kitten today. She has a yuck brown, shiny, hard, oval - thing - on her shoulder. It's about the size of a small pea but elongated. An engorged tick maybe?????????? If it's a tick should I try to remove it or should I just treat it with Frontline and hope it dies and falls...

I woke at 2 am to some horrible screaming in the backyard. It sounded like a cat fight but it didn't sound like cats. I never heard anything like it before but it sounded like something was being killed. I didn't know if it was my yard or a neighbor and couldn't see anything. It went on for several...

While stary cats face certain dangers all the time, I am wondering if Halloween atmosphere increses those risks? I ask because I feed a stray cat that show up late afternoon and leaves in 1-2 hours.

Has anyone got any Fawn Point Siamese Cats in the UK that they can show under GCCF rules ?

Hi, four months ago someone tossed some kittens into my yard. Although I already have two cats, I decided to keep these two kittens, as there is no way I could ever drop them off at the pound. At seven months of age I took them to have them spayed and neutered. The doctor told me they must have...

Our 16 mo. old male cat had his 1 year vaccination yesterday. He won't eat & wants to sleep 24 hours/day. Vet says give 1/2 a baby aspirin. I thought that aspirin was bad for cats. Is it or not?

My girlfriend had been asking me for a cat for sometime. After several weeks I finally went out to get one. I waited for hours till I saw a stray scratching on someone's door. I brought it home and my girlfriend loved it. Long story short - she is spending way too much time with this cat. We had...

I took house cat to the vet for a scratch on her neck that got infected. They gave her a shot of antibiotic. She's getting better but I wonder if I put some Triple antibiotic ointment on her neck and she licked it off, if it would hurt her? Any thoughts? When I clean her neck with hydrogen peroxide...

There is a feral cat at the local waste disposal site that I use. I have been feeding it in the hope that I will be able to bring it home. Progress has been slow but steady until another person decided to feed it. He just dumps kibble on the ground 2lbs at a time. Needless to say the cat is no...

Our (approx.15-16) year old cat was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago with the above at the top of his right hind leg. (or around there) Vet said this is common in older cats. A vet partner more or less confirmed the diagnosis. 6 months ago it didn't appear OR the vet missed it. No biopsy was done...

My family is very sad about this, but we must find new homes for our cats. My wife has developed allergies, that over the lastg three years have become so severe she is now on asthma medication. We can't bear the thought of our 'children' being euthanised at a local shelter. We found a no-kill...

Okay, I am going to start working on this pretty soon. I wondered if anyone had any ideas. We're going to make Tucker an enclosure and here is what we're thinking. some kind of wire mesh, the bottom buried underground and then fastened on both side of the *cage* with 2x4s. He will have a *ladder*...

Hello, I'm new to this whole forum thing so bare with me.... About 2 days ago I noticed that my 1 year old cat, Roxanne, is not eating very well at all. She's only consuming about 1/2 a cup of food at most a day. I've tried mixing wet food with her normal cat food (Solid Gold), and just straight...
