My wife seems to think we should get a friend for our cat CC who is a spayed female 1 1/2 years old. If so should we get a kitten ? Will we need a separate litter box & feeding bowls ? CC is a very good cat who does not scratch the furniture or anything else. Will getting her a friend change her...

I'm really enjoying plastic grass doormats (probably from any major store that sells doormats). You can probably buy carpet like that, but I'm not sure if it would be as suitable. You might find that your cat enjoys lying on the plastic grass doormats, especially when it's hot. They might enjoy...

The lab report is in. Well, that explains why he has been licking part of his fur off. He's been on antibiotics and a steroid since Monday and has gotten better I think. Of course, he's been ripping off MY skin when I try to get that stuff into his mouth. Then he glares at me. But I give him some...

I had to get some melphalan compounded into 0.75 mg capsules, and the local compounding pharmacy charged me $140 for 14 capsules. That's $10 each. Yikes. Online, I found some pharmacies that were less expensive. One in particular, Diamondback Drugs in Scottsdale, AZ, quoted me only $1 each. I...

Hi Every time I jump the stove up, the cats pile in on the bed, I love it. They mill around their kitchen... hit the potty, then off to the bid. It's so nice to see them sleeping and stretching, I think to myself, 8 hours is enough, are ya'll ok?

Mike Rowe, host and willing participant of Dirty Jobs just asked a "master groomer" what his opinions on declawing cats were, while they clipped a cat's claws. The groomer only said that cats who have been declawed are definitely meaner. "When those cats come in I never turn my back on...

Just brought my cat home after dental cleaning and having an absessed tooth pulled. The vet said her breathing would sound congested from her having a tube down her throat. Indeed her breathing sounds like she has a very loud congested purr (but there is no purr). The doctor didn't say how...

Although the phrase "cat care" may bring to mind thoughts of hard work or obligation, with the right attitude and a little information, cat care can become an enjoyable part of your day. If you do it right, caring for your cat can be something that you actually look forward to. Helping your cat...

I am so sad to have to write that. He threw a major clot this morning, he has lost the use of his entire back section. Legs, tail, bowels and bladder. He is on strong pain relievers at the vet's office. His bout 2 weeks ago was a precursor to today. I saw him tonight, he was drugged...

I find this very curious. An old thread I ran into (thanks, google!) contains a posting by Phil P which states: "An average, healthy, adult, neutered, moderately active, indoor cat has a daily energy requirement (DER) of about 20 calories/lb (45 kcals)/day." There was general agreement that this...

Just looking to see if my posts are showing up. I'm not seeing them.

We finally got to the vet's last night (it had been storming for the last couple of days and the vet's office lost power). They took another x-ray and said the bone was calcifying nicely, but when they took the tape off the end of his cast the vet saw that his toes were swollen (he thinks...

my cat shatner has been drooling out of one side of his mouth like CRAZY. it's like there's a hole in the side of his face the way he drools (not really though). his leg that he rests his head on is soaking all the time. this started about a week ago. he went to the vet a couple days ago for...

I currently have 3 cats and I am thinking about getting a puppy. I work at a place where I can take my dog to work. Has anyone adopted a dog with cats? If so, can you give me some tips and let me know how the conbination worked out? Thanks!!! Irene

Hi Folks, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good general-interest sites about cats that would be 'special' enough to add to www.odd-sites.com Thanks, - Jeff
