Hi Something about my cat intrigues me. He's a six year old grey (Russian blue?) from a shelter. While he loves me, it's my wife's chest he lies on in the mornings, without fail. They hold hands/paws and they're mad about each other. Recently, he's taken to gently biting her cheek or chin. It's...

Hello, we have three great cats, two of them are brothers and exhibit the same behavior. They are about three years old and declawed (adopted them that way). They never scratch or use their claws or bite, except when jumping into or out of our laps, they extend their rear claws about half of the...

I adopted a tortie from the cat shelter a week ago. She's settled in fine and seems very happy. When she uses the litter tray to poop, she seems to prefer to sit in one half of the tray and point her rear at the edge. This means most of it goes over the edge onto the newspaper. It's a normal...

I wonder why a neutered cat with a bit of arthritis in his rear leg loves to stay out all night long in freezing weather. What goes on out there? I live in an old surburban neighborhood in Philadelphia. There is a high wall at the bottom of my garden separating it from a school for the blind. ...

Leslie wrote: I need to find a new loving home for my cat Inky. She is a 13 year old small black domestic shorthaired cat with a very loud purr. She is front declawed (no flames please). She is sweet but a little shy and skittish. She isn't happy about our crawling baby and has...

Rhett has had a history of getting infections on his paws, though for varying reasons. Several times the vet diagnosed an allergic reaction (yes, another with allergies!! :( The last time she said one of his paws looked burned, but if it was a burn, it could only be carpet burn. He tears...

Well, once again, ants have found Meep's food. We keep spraying trails, sprayed border stuff on the outside of the house, but still they find her food. This time, I think they're coming from a nest in the neighbors house (we live in a townhouse) because I can't find a trail into the house...

So now I am reading that Royal Canin hard food for cats contains too much Vit. D and is also killing cats? And that is what I switched to from canned food. I guess someone was correct - just cook chicken yourself and feel it to the kitties.

So my 14 year old has IBD and needs hypoallergenic cat food. I've been giving her IVD but recently discovered the parent company is involved in animal testing, so I'd like to switch. My problem is that I can't find a hypoallergenic food that is made by a company that *doesn't* do animal testing. ...

We have two kittens that we adopted at a shelter a month and a half ago. They told us they were both brown tabby cats. This afternoon, I took a peek on Orchid's site and the pictures of the Bengal cats look almost identical to the younger kitten, Stella. Is there a way to tell for sure or if she...

Thanks to all those who replied to my message about how the cat will cope when I am away Greatly appreciated :)

Hello, I have a 5 month old kitten who recently sustained brain damage. He stopped breathing during his neuter surgery 3 weeks ago (and was revived). He is blind but is finding his way around. He has learned to walk but is still weak esp in his back legs. He sometimes walks in circles...

My beautiful 16 pound Siamese marked longhair, overnight developed a mildly clouded cornea. The left eye is bright blue and clear, but the right eye is mildy cloudy. The pupil reacts to light, the eye does not seem irritated or running, and it does not seem to bother him. The right eye looks gray...

Okay, looks like our cat may have emergency surgery for mega colon as soon as we can find a surgeon. Our regular vet says it looks like she has an old injury, a broken pelvis, or a congenital problem that makes her pelvic area much smaller than it should be. For whatever reason, things have...

Has anyone seen that movie? I had NO idea that a cat would be one of the stars! Loved the ending, although the poor kitty was so wet. Once in awhile now I will grab one of our cats, hold him close and say "CAAAAT, CAAAAAT..." (I know, there's probably a 12-step program for this.) Rhonda

I finally broke down and bought a Roomba (automatic vacuum). The first thing I have to do is find a clear spot against a wall, plug in the docking station, and let the Roomba charge for 16 hours or so. Once it starts charging, you aren't supposed to do anything with it until it's done. No more...

So, I took Stranger Cat to the vet after work today to check for a microchip (the vet I went to doesn't charge for the service), thanks to those who suggested it. Can you believe that she didn't have one? Unfortunately yes. Most pets chipped at our practice are dogs. If the HS doesn't...

Hi I'm feeling very sad and completely helpless. Our cat Elise, was diagnosed with Leukemia and FIV on Friday and the vet has told us to expect to have to have her put down in a matter of weeks. At the moment she seems content to potter around the house and have lots of attention. But, she's eating...

What actually is a granuloma?

i bought some cat food that was bad, i mean it smelled real bad and they wouldn't give me my money back so i go, well i don't care about the money but this food is bad, so you can keep it. and they just go, there's nothing wrong with it, and they just put it back on the shelf... that's pretty...
