hard (dry) food or canned food? My short hair cat he likes can, but will eat dry also. My Maine Coon won't eat much can food.

I'm a warlock and they say that a magic-user does need a cat to be truly powerful. So, do cats have magical powers? Do they enhance your mana? Can cats cast spells?

I have a prescription from my vet for Renal Diet food for Rusty. He gets funny about food off and on and stops eating what he used to like and wants something different. So, I got the prescription so that I could go to other vet's offices and get renal diet food when I want to just buy a can or...

I was wondering if anyone knows whether it is possible for a lactating queen with 6 week old kittens can come into Estrus? I have 2 queens here that are still feeding their kittens. Tahnee who is due to be spayed on Friday,( the queen that adopted our baby Birman kittens) & also the second rescue...

Sorry I haven't responded to people but I've been traveling with Henry, my 9yo cat, and just got back to my computer... but, thank you to those who have been responding to me, I really appreciate it. We went to Tufts University Foster Small Animal Hospital in MA. After $3,000 there, we still...

I posted awhile back about my cat being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I got her back yesterday after she had the radio-iodine treatment at the University of Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. I had to take her to Madison (2 1/2 hour drive) last Wednesday for the tests and then bring...

Well, I have had Jake for over two months now, and him and Elwood seem to get along okay most of the time. However, once in a while, Jake turns into a super-jerk! Elwood will just be laying there, minding his own business, and Jake decides he doesn't like the way Elwood is fur is looking, or...

A neighbor moved and left me their cat, she's 10 years old and is normal size domestic short hair. I had a cat when I was growing up, but don't remember how much we fed it. I was told that the Wellness brand is very good, it certainly smells better than the supermarket brands! I feed her one can...

This is somewhat off-topic, but I thought it was appropriate because many of us are sending e-greetings at this time of year. Be careful when opening electronic greetings. Here is part of a report that I read on CNN, which warns of a new virus. You need to watch for e-greetings with the...

Well, Jacob is still a CRF cat, but he's not an FeLV kitty. Laura That's good news. Candace (take the litter out before replying by e-mail) See my cats:

Both boys, while still sneezing just a bit, are outrageously healthy and have almost doubled their weight and size in the last three weeks - and they *should* have, they eat like any teen-aged boy does!!! -- Hugs, CatNipped

Hi We recently lost our oldest cat of a mouth tumor, she was 15. I buried her in our yard. I was wondering what kind of framed memorial I could do for her. I have pictures on disk and some prior to digital cameras, I also have Photoshop CS which I can use without being a pro. I have a new...

Help! We have a 2 year old Russian Blue that has decided she no longer needs to use a litter box. We have had her since May, purchased from a cattery in NC, and also have an older cat in the house. The new cat used the box for a while, several months in fact, and we used Feliway for a while...

My Cat is 1 /12 years old, shes is spayed, got her UTD shots and the past couple of months I noticed she scratches, bites and pulls her hair out, and leaves bald spot/patches on the back area and her hind legs, even her tail. I do not know what is causing this but I cannot afford to take her to the...

WARNING CONTAINS W32.HLLW.TORVELB@MM VIRUS

EVERY book I've found thus far assumes at least one of two things: A) that my cat has behavioral problems that need to be corrected, or B) the I'm a newbie in cat care and I need to know about litterboxes and vets. Ug! I'm interested in cat psychology, what makes them tick, how they "think," why...

Well, my boy ate the 2 foot string a full 5 days ago now, and so far, so string in his poop and no signs of illness or distress either. He's eating, pooping, and acting normally. Hopefully, the string as dissolved in his system, or it balled itself up so tiney that it passed in one of his smaller...

Here's a question for youse guys. No resp. on RPC.health, but low traffic there. (Sorry if there's a duplicate...) Got cats. Got fleas. Cats are pregnant. I've checked with not only our vet, but several vets that specialize in cats in the orange county CA area - almost all of them say there is...

Some of you might remember my semi feral kittens Dobby (formerly Shirkan) and Cajun. In any event, I have noted a strange ritual. Every am, when I get up, the very first thing that Dobster does is run straight to the scratching post and claw it. He does it every day. We did not train them to use...
