Happy fourth of July to all those who celebrate it Enjoy the BBQ and the fireworks Have a safe and fun 4th Remember protect the furballs tonight I have been busy all day cooking and preparing for the store employees there

Last summer we brought our 9 year old cat in to the vet because she was having trouble climbing stairs and jumping up to her favorite spots. At the time of the exam, the vet said he thought he heard a very faint heart murmur. He thought it was insignificant, but since he was doing x-rays of her...

I just recently rescued a cat from our local SPCA. The cat was just neutured, he is about 1 year old and i don't know his history. We brought him home last night and he has since started to smell faintly(to me at least my wife says strongly). It smells like he sprayed but the smell goes away...

Once the novel was finished, I decided, what the heck, I might as well try t o sell it. This was not particularly successful. The agents I shopped it to liked the writing, but said humorous SF was hard place; the publishers liked the writing but said humorous SF was hard to sell. I wasn't terribly...

Thanks to those of you who responded to my post several days ago. My kitty, Hobbes, had two enemas a few days ago and is now finally passing proper stools and eating without throwing up. I have tossed out the artificial plant he chewed up, so hopefully we won't have a reoccurrence. It's a scarey...

I adopted 2 female cats from the shelter, Hannah B a 2 yr old spay female and the other, Sara a 7 week old female(now about 5 months old). They got along wonderfully, slept together and Hannah B was always grooming the baby and they played all the time. Last night we had to take Hannah B to the...

There was one query last week, which I can't find. Eli is the 14 year old black cat who suddenly stopped eating. Vet cleaned teeth, did all manner of blood tests and X-rays. He's in good humor, affectionate, but just won't eat. S.O. gets him to lap up a little Boost, and sometimes lick some beef...

Sunday morning I went in to take care of my fosters and I noticed one of them was just laying in the bottom of the playpen and there was a lot of bloody diarrhea in the litter box and vomit on the towels. Her temperature was so low that she felt cool to the touch. Her two sisters, who share...

How do you stop kittens from climbing curtains - aside from taking them down which isn't something we want to do all over the house. thanks ken

You know how sometimes cats get into a respiratory spasming thing like they're trying to clear something from their throat (a hairball or something??) I don't know what to call it. It's very rhythmic, and it appears to be involuntary, like they're choking on something and they're trying to...

We have a Manx long hair cat, Fred. I noticed that he is losing hair in a spot on his back hip. I thought that it might be mange ,but there is no scaling. Does anybody have any idea what is going on?

Our cat Tux is just shy of a year old. For quite a few months now we have noticed a claw-like growth on his paws. It doesn't seem to be causing him pain, so we haven't been in a rush to take him to the vet. However, it has been getting a little bigger over the months, and one of the growths look...

Any suggestions about how to judge whether a cat sitter is good or not? I've interviewed a few, they seem nice. One does it after work, the other is full time, plus she has references (but how can you trust those). They both made cooing noises with cat and seem fine - I just saw baby-sitters...

Our newest cat, Chloe, has more or less been integrated into the household. It's not the outcome I would have wanted - she and the other cats keep their distance - but there's no killing. Well, not much. Chloe has always had some behavioral problems, possibly related to her declawing. 90% of the...

(Forwarded) "Pay For A Spay Do you spend every holiday season searching for that perfect gift for an animal-lover who has everything? Well, we've got the perfect gift for you! Sponsoring just one spay can greatly reduce the number of homeless cats. One cat and her offspring can produce...

Laila writes i am not sure what the behavior of a cat going into heat is...i haven't had the time to take her to the vet to be spayed, but i am calling the ASPCA tomorrow! i can't afford the $200-$500 procedure. That sounds like an absurd (inflated) price for a spay....
