In searching around the web and looking at a cat memorial... the number of cats dying of renal failure is shocking. Years ago when I worked in an animal hospital in the city, this was a disease of old cats. Now I see people losing much younger animals to this disease. Anyone have any idea why...

I have a 7 year old male cat. He's had no behavior problems since we've had him but about two or three weeks ago he started pooping on the floor in random places. It doesn't seem like he does this every time he has to go and he is still peeing in the box (as far as I can tell). Other than that his...

Just got this kitten a few days ago and it has learned a kind of annoying little behaviour. While I am asleep it likes to cuddle up just beneath my chin and sleep. Very cute. BUT, when it wakes up and decides it wants to play, it starts to stick it's face into mine and then claw at my face...

Any suggestions for how to stop an 11-year-old eskimo/poodle mix who insists on eating the new kitten's cat food? Training methods? Bowl placement? Special feeding devices? -- CRAIG BAILEY 67 Union St. #2D, Winooski, Vt. 05404-1948 USA www.floydianslip.com* |* 802.655.1197

Our cats get litter all over the floor. I've not yet managed to find a vacuum cleaner that picks it up quickly and well. Has anyone found a good option? -- Mark

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...

I LOVE TO EAT THEM AND DO ALL KINDS OF MEAN ROTTEN THINGS TO THEM, I ALSO SELL THEM TO CHINESE RESTURENTS, WHERE OTHER PEOPLE LIKE ME LOVE TO EAT DEAD CATS

Some weeks ago my adult Maine Coon started having very soft stools. The consistency of pudding. Not excessive, just once a day like always. She looks good, acts good, plays, eats, gives loves,but since it was a change I wanted it checked out. The vet didn't find anything wrong but put her on...

I need suggestions to stop a kitten from jumping on and climbing on shelves, counters and tables - expecially those with fragile items, cd's, photos, radios & cd-players,etc. To date, i have tried the following to no avail: loud noises, water pistol, bitter apple spray, aluminum foil sheets...

just about to leave home (yay!) and into a place of my own. i've always loved cats - i'm like a surrogate owner - i fuss over the neighbours cats and love to do so. so.... i'm thinking of getting a cat, to live in my flat, but it's a town centre location so i think letting it out would be a no...

I have an old car way back on the back of our yard/property. There are at least 15-20 cats living in it. Some of them look to be fairly healthy. I'd like to get rid of them. I assume I could just take them all to the pound, but it would be a lot of trouble to somehow round them all up. How can I...

I would like to know "who" this woman is so I can file animal abuse charges against her. People this idotic do not deserve to have pets period! Furthermore, I would like to see more people refer to the term "guardian" rather than "owner". "Ownership" implies that your pet is an inanimate object...

What's the difference between the science diet "feline adult" formula and the "senior" formula? I'm talking about the dry food that comes in the bag. I've continued to feed my 11 year old cat the "adult" formula despite the label saying it's for cats under 7 years. A vet some time ago told me it...

This is an ancient sport ! Throw the cat as far as you can !

There seem to be only black and white and some grey cats around here. No red ones. The cats all look the same.

Hi Cat's got a tick on its neck. How do I get rid of the bugger? It also had the odd flea or several so I gave it a dose of Advantage 80 for Cats. Now no sign of fleas but I can still feel the tick. The cat is very nervous and so I am reluctant to subject it to any stress. Mind you it has its...
