Hello All, For about a week or more, our all-black kitten has been rubbing on and howling in every room in the house. We've had to "screen in" the other two cats in their room. Last week, when Stinky howled and rubbed herself on the hallway carpet, our 7 year old cat "Spirit" spat, growled and...

I have 3 kittens that are a little over 2 weeks old one little one seemse to have cold in her eye is there an easy way to help get her eye to open, also I need tips on how to bath them at this age?

Didnt realize how many I had, but here is the album of Gabe and Oreo pictures. We brought Oreo home from the Humane Society in July of 02 and then in July 03 brought home Gabe. I was glad when July 04 went by without more cats, these two keeps us occupied as it is : ) My husband has...

Do vets ever perform endoscopic exams of the stomach? Can the stomach be vacuumed out when it is impacted with fur?

I have this huge cat (about the size of a great dane) *LOL* and he likes to chew on my blinds and the pull cords on the blinds. I have tried the bitter apple and it just does not work. the only time he does it is when I am starting to wake up in the morning (around 7:30am). I catch him in the act...

It’s Simple…Making Money - This Really Works! Keep in mind that everything stated below is 100% legal as stated by the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161). A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you...

Hello, I'm a new poster to the group and a relatively new cat owner. One of our cats (almost 2 years old, former feral trapped at about 6 - 8 weeks of age) has been extremely listless and withdrawn since yesterday afternoon. She slept most of the day yesterday, not even getting up and playing in...

How common is herpes in cats? I never knew there was such a thing until I was at the local animal shelter a few weeks ago and they had two of them up for adoption (they are still there). The cats are isolated from the other cats and the shelter wants them to be adopted together by someone who...

I hope someone out there can help me out. We brought a 8 wk. old kitten home on 4/19. He was kept away from my other cats (2 1/2 male, 7 yr. female) until he was tested for FeLv and worms. Both negative. A week after cats began sharing home my older male began vomiting and soon after bouts of runny...

My new cat, Tweaker, went to the vet last week, and now I see he has developed a callous between his shoulders, and the skin there is tender and raw. I suppose this is an antibody reaction to one of the vaccines. Is this common? Is it a problem? He is the sweetest of cats, BTW. He always wants...

Hi, I'm new to this group and haven't seen this topic posted on my searches so far. My stictly indoor cat Dimitri is 6 years old and has been diagnosed Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) since he was 2. My local vet based his diagnosis on his clinical signs rather than biopsy or endoscopic...

hello iam new to this site but i have a persian cat that i show regularly but he has a slight tear staining and i was wondering if anyone had a suggestions on how to get rid of it please. thanks

Juls (of Dimitri and Jack), Kaare (of Gustav and Rori), Alice (of Isis), Malachi (I think her name was Susan and she wrote really beautiful posts), the other 2 Karens? There are also a lot of others who I think of from time to time but can't recall right now... Candace

Has anyone had to deal with this with a cat? For a variety of reasons, I'm not opting for surgery for Carey (bone thin tortie with a myriad of other issues). "Rest" is advised, and we seem to be able to prevent most jumping fairly easily (she's almost 12, not a kitten, which helps!). Anyway,...

Is there a website that lists the general good-ness of the product(s)? I bring this up because I've noticed that "Phil" recommends a few things over others, but then when a topic is brought up I tend to learn something new regarding a food product. For example, I read here at one point that Phil...

Hi there, Our cat is about 7 years old, and was first diagnosed with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disorder (FLUTD) about 5 years ago. 5 years ago we were told to keep him on a diet of vet food such as Hills 'C/D' or similar. It was spelled out that we should use dry food as this would make him...

It's amazing after reading this newsgroup for a few weeks how much knowledge is out there when odd situations arise. I dont know if anyone has had this happen before, but my cat Gabe loves to eat plastic. Not all kinds of plastic, but he is extremely partial to plastic grocery bag handles,...

Hi, My cat Jake has small patches of his fur missing on both of his sides. Missing may be a bad description, I would say the fur looks thin, if that makes sense to anyone... I am bringing him in tomorrow morning to have the vet take a look, as I cannot tell if this is serious or not. Any ideas...

Ok, this may seem ironic. Many of the regulars here know that my wife and I had our three kittens declawed last summer. They are now fine and in great health and show none of the terrible side effects I was told to expect. But none of this is the reason for this post. My wife was recently...
