Cats chewing houseplant leaves - please advise by
Threnody
We recently combined out home with that of my father-in-law. He lost his
wife to cancer in August and has a few health issues of his own that are
worrisome. His two cats and our two cats are being very good about
things, although they're still a bit territorial and the random bit of
hissing still...

Help - Husband With Allergies? by
Mary
My husband swears he's allergic to my two babies. I have my doubts,
though, because he also sneezes and has a stuffy nose hours or days
after he's been around them. For example, when we were away in
Europe, he was still sneezing two weeks after not being around any
cats. When he's at work, he's...

Caroline
Hello,
My little cat is seeing the vet for his FVR-CP (distemper etc.) shot this week.
I asked the vet assistant if there was a "three-year" version of it, as I now
get him the three-year rabies shot. She said, no, not to her knowledge.
I have no idea whether an FVR-CP vaccination lasting more...

kaeli
Hey all,
I'm wanting to switch cat litters to that Feline Pine because of Rowan's
being so sensitive to the dust from conventional litter these days.
The thing is, they all despise the texture of the FP. I did what the bag

Shame, shame AOL... by
-L. :
Ok, so we all know AOL sucks, but in their trailer for the new
Garfield movie, they have a link that says "search for cute kittens to
adopt". Nothing like promoting spur-of-the moment impulse
adoptions...I only hope it links to reputable sources - I didn't look.
:p

Frequent, Watery Vomiting by
MaryL.
My cat for a few days now has been vomiting a few times a day, and of
course manages to always get it onto furniture, rugs, etc, even though
most of the house is wood floors....argh!
On a more serious note, though, the vomit is not "regular"
vomiting...he usually produces a little pool of watery...

Corey
My wife and I need some advice on what is going on with one of our two cats.
For some reason she keeps scratching her neck and face. We cut her nails
