I've been lurking in this group for a while, getting nuggets of advice here and there, and I can't help but notice the dogmatic attitude the majority of the participants have towards the breeding of our masters. :) It was made explicit in the recent thread about "breading", but it was apparent...

we have an eight-year-old longhair mongrel cat who is getting thinner and thinner despite having a good appetite... she has been in good spirits till now but now seems to be seeking places to be alone. She has been wormed but passed nothing and it has made no difference. She has ALWAYS been quite...

Hello, I've got 2 cats. I live in Quebec, so we do get cold winters. Both cat are indoor cats: they used to go outdoors, but some of our neighbor complained (and to an extent I think one of them poisoned one of our cat a few years ago, he got REALLY sick). Anyway, bottom line, for the past 2...

Someone once responded to CP's postings about animal abuse here in the Phoenix area that we must be about the worst place for animal abuse. Stories within the last couple of weeks: The Phoenix Zoo, of which I am a longtime member, has feral cats on their property that they are planning to trap and...

Hi everyone and Phil, I finally got a urine sample over to the doc and she just called me. Things are pretty much in the normal range. He had a tiny amount of blood in his urine, so he's going to do a week of antibiotics. (He's never had a UTI) But his specific gravity is a tiny bit off, but...

In my first post to this group I shared my desire to convert the two feline friends I am caring for to canned food. Jade, the black cat, has made this transition without problem. My intention was to convert gradually, but when Jade came racing into the kitchen as soon as I opened the can I knew I...

dgk wrote in message ... Yikes, I had posted this to the wrong group! Well, here it is in the right group. Not too good I think. All chems are reasonably normal, not diabetic for sure. Her WBC is 42, which is very high. Could be an infection, but...

As I posted in my rant a few days ago, Spam had been pooping in the living room. So today I caught the entire production and I think he's constipated. Spam peed in his pan, and pooped a little tiny bit before coming back to his favorite chair. After five minutes he hopped down and headed for the...

Wife and I have been together for about 10 years (married and living together for 4). She's had her cat since he was a kitten...he's 18 years old now. He's going downhill...he has tumors in his chest and spots on his liver. Over the past 4 months or so he started throwing up alot and losing alot...

My Kitty had a sonogram, they found 1.5cm mass in her liver..She had a biopsy - but the sample came back as "necrotic material" - in other words - dead cells. The vet said that it could be cancer, with the dead cells around it. The biopsy report speculated that the liver lobe had "twisted",...

Any opinions one way or the other? The kittens have had both canned food and some moistened kitten chow. For a couple weeks I have also left dry kitten chow out for momcat but until the last several days, only occasionally would a kitten nibble on it. The kittens do drink water; momcat taught...

I have an older cat that is suffering from chronic renal failure. I've been to several feline CRF pages on the net, so I am fairly familir with the symptoms. The problem my cat is having is that when he coughs up a hairball every so often there will be stange black or very dark grey...

Do you like to pamper your cat? Well let her stand out from the crowd wearing one of these fantastic harmony balls. These unique items are little sterling silver harmony balls (pendants) that can be attracted to your cats collar and when moved it makes a wonderful chime sound. It has a center chime...

Gabby, our new kitty, is NOT fond of water. I mean, she hates it so much I am surprised we do not have to feed her through an IV. Anyway, to get her bathed without being mauled I wrap her and a bottle of shampoo together with duct tape, throw her in the bathtub, and agitate it with a broom so...

In 1994, I adopted a 4-month old brown tabby kitten. I named him Pooka, taken from "Puccha" - the Sanskrit word for cat, so says my Purina cat book. I fell in love with Pooka the moment I first saw him, and he seemed to feel the same about me. We were exactly right for each other. Pooka grew...

Hello ~ My parents recently got their third cat, taking her as a favor to a friend of mine. They have 2 female cats and this is their third. When they brought her home, she was secluded for some time as to get acclimated to the house. She was later released into the house and immediately hid in...

A cat person friend of mine recently moved in with a boy who has a dog which she is having a hard time with as follows: 1) Dog has a terrible entrenched long-untreated case of mange which was also transmitted to one of her two cats and (mildly) to the humans. Cat girl has encouraged dog boy to get...

Harriet is one of the cats at work. She was in the hospital on August 5th for severe constipation. Again on 8/22. I took her home over Labor Day, and she didn't poop. She was back in the hospital on 9/6. I took her home this past weekend and she did poop some, on Saturday & Monday but only one...

And one old one! http://public.fotki.com/kitkatluna/miscellaneous/jasper_dudley/young-dudley.html I just posted some new pix of Jasper Dudley Do Right. :-) The one above, however, is from his youth. DH obtained it from the daughter of the previous owner and surprised me for my birthday! Not sure...
