I have a 13 1/2 year old male tabby. About four months ago he started to vomit usually, but not always shortly after eating. Since I only feed him once a day that meant he threw up all his food for the day. Right after that he'd be begging for food. I took him to the vet who examined him and...

How do cats typically react to harnesses. Never thought about it, but have seen posts about here. Do they try to run away, walk in circles, run from side to side..I can't imagine them walking in a straight line like a dog..Just wondering now that the weather is getting warmer, I might want to add a...

"Popof 3D" wrote in message ... I just got 10-year old cat. I haven't bought her a cat tree yet as I'm saving up for it. In the meantime, I got those cheap scratch posts (sisal) that hang on a door and a box containing...

Hi, I'm thinking of ordering some of the Feliway diffuser refills from US as they're not available (yet) in Australia. Can anyone tell me if it would be possible to empty the contents into the vial of one of the household "Ambipur" type diffusers (ie the supposedly nice smelling things people...

I see these very expensive scratching posts at Petsmart. I was thinking of making my own scratchin post for our new cats. Does carpet really provide a scratching post for the cats? These things they sell look like fun toys for the cat but do they really provide a scrathin post. I thought they...

Dmitri sometimes misses his litter box by a fraction of an inch, and shoots all over the floor. If I happen to be in there when he's going and see that he's missing, I can physically push his rear into position and all is fine, but you can imagine the messes. So I had gone online to find out how...

I have a 13 yr old male cat. A blood test on him (1st time the cat had a blood test) tells that an enzyme in his blood is very high due to the pancreas not working properly, possibly pancreatic cancer. The normal level for this enzyme is 300-1100, his level has varied during his 3 blood tests from...

I was wondering what was better for cats, bio spot or frontline? My house was infested with fleas (I rent and it was the previous owner's fault) and even though I had an exterminator in here last week, my cats had a flea bath but both the house and cats are still crawling with fleas. We're...

It's smalll, and a little bloody, We let him outside, but should I be worried?

Our 2 year old tom has starting having trouble peeing and when he does manage it he seems to use anywhere but the tray. He's constantly trying go and wondering around the house crying. He was previously diagnosed with cystitis (he was passing small amounts of blood in his urine) and given...

Once in America a plane crashed, only a monkey who was traveling in the plane was left alive. Fortunately the monkey was intelligent enough to understand our language and reply in actions. The officials went to see the monkey in the hospital and had a talk with the monkey. Officer: "When the...

I have one of those "Drinkwell" water fountains for my two cats. The water passes through a fiberglass/charcoal filter, then out a spout into a dish, and is then recirculated. I have to add about quart of water every three days. Question: How long can I go without changing the water and the...

The time has come for us to open our hearts to some kitties who need a permanent home. It has been a long time since we adopted cats, and they have always been kittens. This time, we would like to adopt two adult cats together, preferably two who have been companions. I have never adopted adult...

My fur baby Chaplin is getting old. He's a large-boned Ragdoll who turns 14 this September and weighs around 12 lbs. Down from 16lbs last year. This past year has been hard on him. Some of you may remember about the lump in his tail I asked about. It's still there and I did have it aspirated. The...

We had a litter of 5 kittens dumped at the shelter yesterday. They were left in a carrier with a pillow in front of the carrier (so we wouldn't see them? not sure what the pillow was for) at the fence. They range in size from 3 lbs to 1 lbs, all have conjunctivitis and URI. The two...

Do cats feel the heat during the summer hot weather? If they do, is there anything we need to do to cool them off? Zoe

Well, things are trundling along slowly but surely here. We've started using a spray bottle and by god Henry respects its authoritah..All I need to do is put it on the ground between him and the other cats and he calms right down. Anyway, Louis is relaxed enough to play (cautiously) in the...
