We have two one year old occicats, and a brand new living room rug. They scratched at the old living room rug, but I guess it was made in a way that it didn't pull, or damage. The new one, well, let's just say it responds to the cat's scratching negatively. We're wondering if anyone has any...

Hiya, I have a 13 year old male cat that has been neuted but over the last month or is started to spray every time he comes in. He comes in the back door, has a quick bit to eat and then out the front door, on his way through he'll spray somewhere. Can anyone tell me why his started this bad...

Being a two cat family for the past 17 years, we has to put our oldest cat down ( after a long and giving life). Too fill the empty space, we adopted a 3 year old from the local SPCA. This really stressed out our 12 year old female, to the point that she wouldn't come out or eat. After one week we...

FYI, I did not, and have never, e-mailed you. There is obviously either a quirk in the system, or you don't know the difference between an e-mail and a newsgroup posting. The abusive e-mail you sent to *me*- - Forward the alleged e-mail you claim I sent, so I can figure out what the hell...

After reading about Dave's kitty, it got me reading more about FeLV. #5 is particularly interesting to me in the following article. I'll need to ask the vet about this when Bonnie's booster is due in May. The healthy cats are for the most part separated from Shadow most of the time now, but it...

Cat does not always use litter box, he goes on the carpet. I have been trying to fix a cat urination problem for quite a long time. I'd like to replace the carpet in my living room, but I don't want the cat to urinate on it. So, I'd like to fix the cat problem first. He is a 5 year old male cat....

My 9-month old Siamese kitten has a tendency to bite and scratch me. I wonder if this is common to the species, and if it will ever end. I don't recall this happening with any other cats I have ever owned, but that was over a decade ago. I keep his food and water constantly replenished, he has...

Most of you won't know me. I haven't posted here for probably over a year...my computer suffered a fatal crash and I never bothered to rejoin my newsgroups after it was fixed. But there might be a few who remember my Nic...my beautiful boy. I'm not sure why I'm posting this...I just need to, I...

Hi my male cat (3 years old) is in the vets with a problem. rather ill and crying when he tries to urinate. vet says urine too alkaline and has given him a catheter and antibiotics. vet says he has a blockage due to crystals in bladder. he is fed both dry (Frisky) and wet food (Felix) and has...

OK, I failed to get my stray neutered in time and he started spraying two days ago. He has only done it twice so far. That kitty litter A&H scented baking soda takes care of the smell quickly. Thank goodness! I won't be able to get him fixed for 2 weeks. I called the vet today and she said they...

I took my cats to the vet to get there feline leukemia booster and let me tell you there were soo bad. They bit and scratched my husband. These are usually very friendly cats just not at the vets office:) Anyway Rocky our boy cat chokes all the time when he eats it used to be just when he ate...

Can a male cat a year & a half old still get 'frisky' even though he was neutuered when he was six months old? Does neutering just mean cats cannot have children, but they can still have sex with other cats? the reason i am asking is that i noticed that my cat (not very often) occasionally seems...

I just heard on KFRC that there's going to be free microcipping tomorrow Sunday March 14, at ACC (Animal Care and Control) in San Francisco . I think it's until 4 PM. For those who don't know it, ACC is located kitty-corner from the SF SPCA. Here is their web page with the...

Wow poor little thing....I'd be miserable if I were here. I would call the vet to let him know what's going on and see if there is a med you can give her for the diarrhea or if she has a stomach virus. I can't offer much help, but I think calling the vet and explaining to him that she is still...

I fear our kitty boy Spencer is on the downhill slide: The anemia is making him cold so all he wants to do is sleep on top of the monitor. He doesn't want to eat and is loosing weight. He's been getting kind of spastic and clumsy – suddenly launching himself up on top of things. He's started to...

Hi there, I have a 7-month old semi-feral that I've been fostering. Antonio has come around a lot in the past 2 months I've had him. He sits near me, even gets on my lap once in a while. Recently, like the past week or two, he has started eating everything! He eats mashed potatoes, rice,...
