Hello all! I have a 14 year old cat that got most of his teeth pulled a few weeks ago. He was doing okay eating until a few days ago when he pretty much stopped. He acts hungry, follows me around the kitchen meowing, and runs ahead of me whenever I go to feed him excitedly, but then tries to eat...

I brought in my houseplants last night because it's getting cool at night. Dmitri used to try and eat the shamrocks and spider plants, so I got those up and out of Jasmine's way quickly. (After she taste tested both, and said "mmmm, I likey.") The diffenbachia is another story. It's large, about...

Hello everyone...newbie here posting for the first time. I was wondering: My 1 1/2 year old cat has been in heat for the last few months, and unfortunately I cannot afford to fix her just yet. (I keep her inside so there is no danger of her getting pregnant) I've heard that females stay in heat...

Early this morning our two-year old Maine Coon mix, Kenshin, started making weird noises, gasping for breath and lost use of his two hind legs. We rushed him to the Michigan State University Small Animal Clinic where he was diagnosed as having congestive heart failure. We already knew of the...

Hi everyone...update on Jasmine...she's following me around constantly, licking me (or biting, depending on her mood) and going through my cupboards at odd hours of the night. So I'm expecting kittens soon. I'm setting up her own room, so she can have privacy with the kittens, and trying to get...

Thank you everyone for your posts. I'm planning on taking my kitty to the Mobile Spay Station this month to get her fixed. I had actually taken her the same time that I got my boy kitty fixed, but they ran out of appointments right after they took him. So, I'm going to get there extra early and...

Hi All, I have a one year old neutered male cat who is totally offended by closed doors. Due to our odd sleep schedules, we often nap in the afternoon. When one of us lays down, we close the door because the cat, Charley, is likely to come in and play around or talk. He's really quite chatty. ...

Our little old boy (now 16 and a half) was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism last January. Unfortunately, he also had underlying CRF and when he was given medication for the hyperT his kidneys couldn`t take it. We tried different drugs and dosages, but each time he started vomiting and his BUN and...

I have a female cat thats almost 2 years old and recently she has been pooping in my bathroom. She has done it about 3 times, and its all around the same spot. She has never done this before. She has had two litters of kittens, I dont know if that would have anything to do with it. Or maybe I need...

Hi, My otherwise healthy 8 year old cat was recently diagnosed with vaccine-related fibrosarcoma (the vet believes it was the 3 year rabies vaccination). He has an appointment with the oncologist on Tuesday. Can anyone give me some advice as to what questions to ask, what things I should read up...

Okay, I feel really stupid now after getting all friggin worked up. This morning was one of those mornings during mournings when you wake up fine, then suddenly you remember the Horrible Thing that just happened. I went downstairs to start to work, and looked out the front window. A small...

Her Uncle Henry (my mom's cat) never liked the very cute tent his mom bought him so I brought it back to Phoenix with me. None of my 3 are all that thrilled with it either but they will go in it if we throw treats in there. However, the other morning Abbey was laying in there of her own volition....

When I first got Jazz, she started out in the bathroom (a large bathroom) while I did the introduction to Jack. Now she's out 100 percent and she still goes into the bathroom to play. (She's fascinated by the toilet and tub) When she gets really revved up and out of control, I've put her in...

i have three cats (all adorable cats) - i have had 3 cats for ten years now. the latest addition is 14 months old. he was introduced into the family after my darling cat Charlie had to be put to sleep (he had cancer - the poor love). felix is the eldest - he previously lived with my mother-in-law...

John Doe wrote: Troll Well, yeah, they are. But then, we already knew that. And from now on, don't feed them, OK?

Well Jazz and Jack continue to get to know one another. Jazz positively adores Jack and won't leave him alone. He wasn't happy about it at first, but he's getting used to her and tolerates it. Sometimes, he even likes it. She's obsessed with his tail. She's even given him a few head butts. I'm...

I was wondering if anyone here has ever used those automatic feeders and water dispensers for cats? I was thinking of getting a couple for my 3 cats as I might be leaving for Las Vegas for a few days. I am considering a sitter come in but don't know any I could trust as they would be strangers to...

There's a un-fixed tom wandering our neighborhood that gets our cats all whipped up. I've watched him for a few weeks and he's always run away. Tonight though it's pretty cold here, and we saw him when we pulled into our driveway. He meowed and came right up to be petted. My guess is that he's...

Can a kitten of 6-8 weeks be successfully adopted and be a normal grown cat? I have heard that they must be at least 3 months old. Is this true. How old to have them neutered. Thanks Lee
