Lost Cat, Lost Heart When a Pet Goes Missing, How Long Do You Look? How Much Do You Spend? How Many Straws Do You Grasp? By Steve Hendrix Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, June 6, 2007; B01 There are a lot of missing-pet posters on the telephone poles of Takoma Park, but the one at the...

Anybody have cats that will run a treadmill or a wheel? Any other suitable-to-the-boss ways of getting them some exercise? Bubba's getting to be a bit of a fatass at 22Lbs and reducing his food only seems to go so far, plus it ruins his normally sunny disposition when the food dish goes empty.

Good News! Do you know how simple it is to go to Heaven after this life has ended? Some people believe that belonging to a local church, temple, mosque or synagogue will get them to Heaven.

I've noticed that one of the flavors of cat litter I can get (I use Arm & Hammer) calls itself "Multicat". Given that I'm about to be a multicat owner, I'm curious what the difference is between that and "ordinary" litter. I have seen that the texture of the granules is noticeably different, but...

Hi All, I have put in an application to adopt a 1 year old shelter kitty - who happens to be Manx. He has no tail whatsoever, not even a stump. I had no intentions of getting anything other than just a cat from a shelter. I have done a bit of research on this breed and am concerned. While I...

My cat is about 12 years old, she has been in not great health as of late, she ran away a while back and must have been trapped somehwere for a quite a while, about a week. She finally made it home and she was obviously starving, she was skin and bones. We have taken her to the vet, and he has...

We have a female cloud tabby aged about 4 years that has taken to excessive scratching - to the point that she is digging at her own flesh. We have always been regular with flea treatments and she is in overall excellent health. About six months ago she began scratching on the rear of her neck...

Hi all. I am just a bit curious about something my cat does and have seen my previous cats do. When startled they would turn sideways, hunch their backs and hop backwards. I'm wondering if it has something to do with instinctive defense. Thanks, James

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...

Sprocket's vet says he's too young (four weeks at time of vet's appt) to test for feline leukemia. I forget what she said about when he'd be old enough. Can someone tell me? Thanks! Priscilla

What actually is a granuloma?

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...

Last night I saw the people who adopted one of Boots' littermates. They mentioned that they were just now making arrangements to get "Midnight" neutered ........... and declawed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sometime in the last month he started clawing the furniture, screens etc. They said they have a large...

My six year old cat, Delilah, has a spot on her belly that appears to be bald, but has very short hair growth upon closer look. We took her to the vet, and based on the very healthy appearance of her skin under the fur, diagnosed her with "psychogenic alopecia" and told us she was just excessively...

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...

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

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...
