A funny question to be sure. What's the wildest domestic cat breed? Initially I thought bengals - 50% wild, more or less, as half the genes seem to be from the Asian spotted leopard. But now I'm thinking Savannahs, which I understand to be a mix of Bengal and Serval - that would be 75% wild, if...

I've seen cat strollers advertised and am wondering whether people here have tried them. (The strollers are like baby strollers but are covered in a net so that the cats can't get out.) I'm curious about these--do you or your cats have experience with them?

About four years ago a neighbor brought me a little calico stray she found in her yard. The kitten was clean and friendly and appeared healthy. I was reluctant to take her to the pound so I set up quarters for her in the shed. I put up signs but with no result, and after a vet checkup, including...

What is everyones ideas on the microchip. Is it worth it for a indoor only cat? DeborahY

Please help me. From reviewing the various websites online regarding this breed I have having trouble understanding one thing. Is this an actual hybrid between a domestic cat and a wild cat of some sort. How do Bengals differ from other domestic breeds?

We have sort of "adopted" a cat that visits us once or twice a day. I wouldn't mind keeping her but she is a free spirit and I think confinement would be a torture for her now. Her behavior is quite aristocratic: For example one of her visits is in the late aftrenoon. She suns on the porch, then...

Hi all, I'm off to the vet in a few hours, we got the first free slot, but I thought I'd see if anyone here has any advice on what we might expect there so we can prepare if necessary, like by setting up a secluded box-bed for our cat or anything. A few days ago I noticed that our cat's middle...

Our seven year old male Ocecat Rudy now and then has blood in his bowel movement. This is not a constant thing. Nor does he show any other symptoms. He is active, affectionate, maintains his weight and appetite and shows no signs of illness. Any thoughts??? ds -- "The difference between...

My cat doesn't have any teeth now, 11 y/o Himalayan female. She will eat/lick the juice from the wet cat feed, and the other cat will eat the left overs. She will not touch the sauce if I mix water with the bits to wash off more of the juice and then give her all the juice and the "cleaner" bits...

In how many countries is microchipping pets compulsory? So far, I know that it became compulsory in Israel a few years ago for dogs to be microchipped (not so sure about all cats - the last I heard was that if they are kept indoors the whole time, they don't have to be microchipped, but this may...

If you buy dog or cat food from the Iams Pet Food Company, you need to visit a website iamscruelty.com. Apparently, Iams keeps cats and dogs to TEST their foods on before it goes to market. I had no idea pet food manufacturers used animals to make a better food - but some do! Iams keeps cats and...

In February my cat was diagnosed with hyper thyroid. I was given a choice of treatments, all expensive, and after looking at what each involved, decided to go with a radium treatment. It involved one shot, a four day stay at a special clinic, and two weeks for special treatment of waste, at home....
