My one year old male cat is normal in all other ways except that he regulary upsets water out of his water bowl. When drinking he places a paw in the water and then "paddles" the water out of the bowl onto the floor. Why does he do this? How do I stop it? Any help would be appreciated. mahlon

I'm rescuing an old stray (Old George). When I first started with him he was almost feral. He wouldn't let anyone get near him and, if anyone did he would scratch, bite and hiss. It has taken me a couple months but I've gotten him to the point where he actually enjoys being petted. I let him in...

Bringing her home in the cat carrier still ranks among the most heart-wrenching experiences of my life. She meowed constantly, sounded totally terrified. After 3 years, she's worked out...
