Whenever I pet my cat, he commences to lick his front leg or his side just behind the shoulder. When I stop, he stops; and when I start again, so does he. What's behind this curious behavior? -- Dennis

Hi, one of my male cats (3 years old) has decided all of a sudden that he wants to "escape". My other two cats want nothing to do with "out there". As soon as we open the door, the cat in question, runs and escapes to the porch where he generally freezes and we toss him back inside. Yesterday he...

Back in late February, my cat Mouse began acting funny. Everything began with her voice getting weaker and squeakier, and some lethargy and a decline in her appetite. Everything happened very gradually and we deduced that she had a cold. We tried waiting it out, but when it became apparent that...

My old cat died a few months ago. But before she died, she urinated on the carpet at various places. I am unable to completely remove the odor. If I get a new cat, would the odor cause the new cat to pee at the same spots?

My siamese mix has always had two beautiful blue eyes. But this morning I noticed his right eye looks green! Is this a cause for concern? He is 12 years old and was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism and heart disease. He also had a huge abcess that had to be treated, so he has gone through a...

In Europe there is an 'anti-sprinkle' movement, the goal of which is to encourage men to sit down when they pee, and thus avoid the sprinkle effect. Restrooms in all the countries across the continent have signs urging men to be thoughtful gentlemen and sit down when they do their business. My...

If you are interested in getting a dog, you should be interested in dog breeders. The safest place to get a new dog would be from a dog breeder. That gives you a history or insight of the prospective dog you are interested in. You can find dog breeders in the newspaper or online. If you see a...

I caught the end of the game show "The Price is Right" and heard Drew Cary say, "Remember, spay and neuter your pets, it's the right thing to do." Don't know if he does it every time, but I think that's great.

My cat won't let my elderly mom eat in peace. He's all over her and her table whenever I feed her. Last time he knocked her dinner on the floor. I picked him up and carried him into the bathroom, and closed the door until she had her dinner. He wasn't pleased about that, and tried to wiggle free....

Or is it a specific breed of cat in its own right ? -- Count Baldoni

I'm a lurker; know absolutely nothing about taking a cat on plane, but not knowing any better, I would phone every airline that you could use and check on current regulations. HTH

Hi all: I was wondering if there was anyone out there who has experience with cats suffering from anemia? My cat had a blood transfusion a couple days ago and her hemocrit (packed cell volume) level has dropped to 18 (where a normal cat's is around 30). Even after the transfusion, her gums...

Lately I've been wondering if spirits/guides/angels come through our much loved pets. I've had a few pets over my lifetime and some I'm much more connected to than others, although they are all loved of course! Another thing I was wondering is if kitties have spirits like people do. I hope to...

We're heading back home soon! I've done this before, but rules change. Has anybody moved with their pet from Oz to the US in the last couple of years? Last time Meep traveled with us the whole way as excess baggage, but I keep hearing unsubstantiated rumors that this is no longer allowed,...
