cat jumping away from food by
wasted[_2_]
Hi
A cat that I have looked after for about 15 years (he moved in, aged about
1-2 years, but allowed me to stay!!) has always been a very scary/wary
creature, not comfortable having humans, including me, in the same room. But
he has always allowed me to serve him food in his bowl.
Of late he has...

Any large houseplants that cats don't like? by
Jane[_2_]
I have three cats and lots of plants. I'm careful not to have any
that are poisonous but they don't return the favor by not eating any.
Luckily they don't seem to be interested in my orchids but I had a
very large plant that has been completely ruined by my jumping,
chomping cat. Of course...

Paranoid feral female by

A feral female cat has been here for three years and four months.
Still not touchable, but light years better than the first hour or
two of window gymnastics after being trapped inside. When she
knows some delicious food is on the way, she is able to let loose
a tiny little meow or two.

My 10 year old male has had two attacks of pancreatitis in the past 7
months, cause unknown. Per my vet, I keep him on a low fat diet and
don't let him eat anything but his normal light cat food.

Tough decision for my cat by
Brian[_2_]
I'm facing a decision that every pet owner hopes they never have to
have.
My cat has cancer in one of it's ears and the vet thinks that if the
cancer on his lower part of his ear is cut out then there is a change
that parts of the cancer will continue in another part of it's ear.
So it's a choice...

Recent research on how cats drink water by
MaryL
I imagine most of you have seen this information by now, but I particularly
like this article because it includes pictures and a video showing the
"column" of liquid that cats form when they drink.

Orson Cart
My cat had a large abcess drained, and the vet fitted
the Elizabethan collar to stop him getting at the wound.
If I remove the collar, he resists violently when I put it back on.
So for him to drink, I put a large bowl of water by his bed.
When he drinks, he dips the bottom of the collar into the...
