Cat sick for months :( by
Jennifer
My poor Boo is about a year old; we adopted him about six months ago.
He started having bloody, mucousy diarrhea about two months ago. We
took him to the vet along with a feces sample. They said it was
probably coccidia (he was a feral rescue kitten) and put him on
antibiotics and Albon. He...

Bengals vaccine side effects by
Mandarina via CatKB.com
Two weeks ago I brought home our two new Bengal kittens - Jasper and Beau -
they were 3 months old and when they left the breeder's home they were both
healthy and playing happily. The kittens had just had their booster - when
they had the first jab the breeder said they had 'stiff legs' for a...

Goldangit - some people by
Brian Link
My son called me to say he was worried about his girfriend's cat.
Again. After what seemed like a pattern of poisoning incidents, the
identification of several cat-toxic plants in the house, and the
refusal to remove them, Max the cat hasn't eaten for three days and is
curled in a ball in the...

How do they talk to us....... by
Brad
I just read a posting that said (out of context) her tail was drooping
like she was upset about something .........that brought me to
thinking about if there is any universally accepted body language or
vocal language that I should know about as a new owner in nine days
and counting......such as...

ITS A MAAD HOUSE!! by
bigbadbarry
(EXCLUDING A SICK CAT, LAYING ASIDE ILLNESSES)
I get the distinct feeling that many of the people on here posting cat
problems are not telling the whole story.
You've done something TO that cat, and when a problem crops up, you get
on here and play like you have no idea what happened.
When you...

Coconut - please update by
MaryL
Coconut,
Please provide an update on the diagnosis and condition of your cat. I know
you planned to take him to a vet, but indicated that you are in an area
where it was difficult to get the vet to take your cat in a timely manner.
This sounded like an emergency to me, and I am very concerned --...

Two strange cat things by
Suzanne via CatKB.com
Well...I was at my cousin's house tonight..her daughter is 12 and had two
strange stories...
One was about some bizarre Chinese practice of "growing" cats in a bottle
so that cat's body conforms to shape of bottle..
The other story was about a "mini cat" that is bred to be small..or they...

Microchipping by
Cheryl
My local news just had a story that has been discussed here before -
multiple microchip technology; scanners can't scan them all.
The story recommends that you find out -before you chip- which
manufacturers scanners are in use at your local shelters and vets.
They also say that if your pet has a...

Skin problem with a siamese cat by
[email protected]
From some time now, my siamese cat has some problems with her skin. We
took her to a vet and after lab analysis, she defined the problem to be
some sort of a skin fungus (don't know if this is the medical term),
which makes her constantly itch, and the cat basically scratches small
parts of her...

My cat's liver is damaged. by
hanson
Two nights ago, I found my cat, Peanut, wedged in the crux of a tree so
tightly that he could not move. But he was wailing. I am not sure how
long he was there. When I pulled him out, the lower half of his body
was paralyzed. That began to get better the next morning.
The next evening, I...

Help, my cat got wedged between two tree branches by
hanson
It was a narrow "V" that he apparently fell into. I don't know how
long he was out here hanging by his midsection. Now his bottom half
does not work.
I don't think he broke his back because he can move his back legs move
just a bit. I can feel him push a little with his back legs. I...

Chinese TV show's cat slinging act draws fire from pet lovers by
kaeli
Um, yeah, I think someone took too much of their meds when they okayed this.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20050513/od_afp/afpentertainmentchina_050513172212
The cat is fine, BTW.
Still, not a good idea for a documentary, eh?

Good Toy by

As I said before, we've had a hard time getting Oreo and Gabe to play with
any 'cat' toys. They don't like the balls with bells, the furry mice, the
hanging ropes, anything with catnip... you get my drift! (Gabe does like
laying on paper, never really figured that out) But, I'm happy to...

Cat Walking - Short-term Flea and Tick Protection? by

My husband and I would like to take our indoor-only cats out for the
occasional wander. I know about harnesses and walking jackets, but I
would rather not use something like Advantage if we only take them out
a few times a week during good weather.
I've read some unpleasant things about the...

Moody cat by
[email protected]
I have recently adopted two 2 year old cats (bother and sister) from a
cat rescue center. The sister is very shy but is affectionate and a
good pet. The brother however is like a wild animal, he doesn't really
like being stroked, he hardly ever purrs, and the only interaction he
likes is chasing...

My cat loves bugs... by
Sara via CatKB.com
I hope you can help me! We live in a small, quiet nieghborhood and our 2
cats come and go as they please via a cat door. One of the cats has a
compulsion to bring in bugs (moths and grasshoppers mostly) on a daily
basis. I have locked the cat door until I can come up with a solution to
the bug...

Cat with a predilection for eating inedible stuff off the floor... by
Brian Link
Louis the Bengal will attempt to eat anything that remotely resembles
food. So far, this hasn't been an issue. Our own theory is that he
fancies himself still wild, and scavenging, just to be contrary.
The other night, I found him chewing on a capsule of 5-HTP that had
fallen out of the bottle...

How much I love Tiger.. by
Brian Link
Tiger's a farm-cat. He lived in a feral colony in rural Indiana, and
one summer my son, visiting his relatives, aged 5, picked him out as
a cat we should get to know.
We made the trip to collect my son and his new cat after a long
vacation. We took the scenic route up above the Great Lakes, and...
