Hello all, I'm new to the group and somewhat new to raising cats (I had cats as a kid 10 years ago).

I'm pretty sure most of you have heard of Siegfried & Roy and their tigers. In case you haven't heard, one of the tigers finally mauled their "trainer" Roy. (BTW, I am very against "training" wild animals to perform for human amusement) So, from the "take a lesson" department - the reason the...

Hi again, I've spoken to my vet about Cilla ("Horrible Pet Owner" post) and she has recommended a completely canned diet for Cilla. I don't really think it will be that difficult to convert her...she loves her wet food and only picks at the dry. The wet food we give her comes in pouches that are...

I was wondering if anyone has info on whether cats can detect cancer as well as dogs. My dog sammy had cancer of the nose and skin, and my two cats were constantly going up to him and smelling the affected areas even before we knew he had cancer- in fact - that is what led us to go to the vet to...

I might be going to a cat show in Las Vegas with my cat Isis and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to travel with her by air.

They let the cat OUTSIDE and "now he hasn't come back for two nights in a row". The sign asks for any info. It has *poured* rain here (Portland, OR)...

Some of you were very kind with your views two months ago when Puss here developed serious asthma attacks. Since then the vet has been experimenting and the latest experiment was to give him a steroid injection. It worked brilliantly: instantly stopping the attacks. But then after five days they...

I was thinking of ways to keep it warm during the winter. You know, boxes or whatever. I bought an electric blanket and it hasn't left the area since that day. The weather hardly gets below freezing, so I'm hoping for a cold night :) I think it will work at least down to 0°F. One night was about...
