Cat Urinating Around Apartment by
Shrubman
Hi all:
I know this subject has been covered in many threads. Therefore, I
wont discuss here why this one year old is doing this or how to change
her habit.
What I do need to ask about involves cleanup. I live in a small one
bedroom apartment and it is starting to smell of cat urine -- not...

18 year old kitty going for his first big grooming tomorrow by
beth
My almost 18 year old Tycho is a long haired tabby. He just doesn't
groom himself well anymore, and he is full of mats (he won't let us
brush him on the lower part of his back or belly). I'm bringing him
to the vet for a "shave" tomorrow. Because I work, I'll be dropping
him off in the AM and...

The Kitty Puke Issue by
Mary
My cats are both short hairs who get frequent vet visits, brushing every
day, and Laxatone every week.
I feed them Purina One Salmon and Tuna dry, and Fancy Feast Chopped Grill
Feast because they LOVE these foods and often turn their noses up at
others. (I want to switch to better quality cat...

One cat picking on another UPDATE by
KellyH
Bartleby and NewCat are sleeping peacefully together on the bed upstairs.
NewCat was downstairs most of yesterday, and Bartleby walked by her several
times without giving chase. I may still get Feliway diffusers, though.
I think they do these things to drive their humans crazy!

How to tell the owners the tragic news? by
Gee
Hi, I need some urgent advice please.
About 10 days ago I saw a beautiful cat get run over and took it to
emergency vet. The cat unfortunately died probably immediately. She had no
ID tags/microchip so we were unable to contact the owner, but I told the
local vets in case anyone...

Urine Testing Beads & URINE TESTS by
PawsForThought
From: Laura R.
Every time Jacob goes in for his CRF workups, the vets get a urine
sample from him at that time, usually via needle although once in a
blue moon just by expressing his bladder. Every time, getting the
urine has taken only a few...

Cat lost BOTH teeth by
jc7098
My cat lost one of his upper "fang" teeth several years ago, and then
I found the other one on the floor this morning. Does this mean he
won't be able to eat regular (aka "hard") cat food anymore? I took
his food away this morning b/c I wanted to give his gum time to heal
from losing the tooth...

Diet cat food question by
Mark Healey
My cats are dangerously over weight, big floppy belly. I like to let
them free feed. I changed to Iams hairball weight control. I'm
wondering if the "weight control" aspect of it is unpalatability.
They just aren't eating as much. It is also about a million degrees
here so they aren't moving...

food I've been able to find is made in the UK and I can't find a

Troubling Changes in Old Cat's Behavior by
Cowa Bungie
We had a cat who lived in the cellar until I moved in. I trained her
to be an "upstairs" cat. She never really socialized (big surprise),
but then she got to be so affectionate.
Anyway, when she was still confined to the downstairs, she'd go out in
the yard, sit in the sun, lay on the deck, etc....

I haven't been able to have a nice relaxing evening of cross stitching for a
