Hi there, I have a 12 year old hyperthyroid semi-feral female cat. She loves me, but she's very afraid of everyone else - so I'm trying to minimize the amount of vet trips for her. She weighs 6.5 pounds which is one pound underweight for her. Her creatinine is normal (1.2), but she's drinking &...

We got 2 new kittens a couple months ago. They are 4 months old now. A few weeks ago, we suddenly realized we had severe fleas. We had the vet flea bath them and he sold us Frontline. Right at the same time, we flea bombed the house but it was only partially effective. So, we applied the...

Wow, intriguing picture of a cat that looks like yoda in cat version, to check this photo got to the below link! Oh and this picture is real! no gimmicks! http://xs133.xs.to/xs133/08460/yoda793.jpg

I just applied "Soft Paws" to 2 of my 3 cats for the 1st time today. I was amazingly easy to do (with a little help from my wife). I was surprised at how quickly they adjusted tot hem. They did not lick or bite at them and have been going about their normal business for several hours now. Good...

Is Royal Canin widely accepted as a high quality, premium cat food? If it matters, I am referring specifically to the Sensible Choice Chicken Meal & Rice Formula (adult). Thanks in advance!

Did I make that ^^^ clear enough that this was off topic so that people won't be forced to read it if they don't want to??? ; Also, note - THIS IS NOT A COMMENTARY BY ME JUST SOMETHING I FOUND AMUSING! There, did I cover all bases? ...

Hi. I have a cat whose diabetes was until recently manageable through diet. He started to lose weight so I took him to see the veterinarian. She told me that his blood sugar was high enough that dietary intervention alone wasn't going to be good enough - that he'd require insulin. I left my...

His dermatologist appointment was today. This vet is very very thorough in both her examination and taking his history by asking questions. Based on his history plus what she saw, she didn't believe it to be caused by a bacterial skin infection, which is common, but he does have a secondary...

Every cat I've had that's been neutered has had scabby cat disease. Currently I have two indoor only unneutered females (they are doing fine) and they do not suffer from excessive licking. I'm wondering if neutering messes up there hormone production and has an effect on their resistance to...

Hi. There's a long window above our bed which the cats love to jump on and prowl around on when we sleep. A couple of times they've jumped on our stomachs getting down, which is no fun at all. Last night one of them landed on my face, giving me some unsightly and painful scratches. Any ideas...

From: Laura R. I neither particularly like nor desire children, which means that I am very fortunate not to have them. There is absolutely nothing about your life that will ever inspire envy in me, you bitter, sagging frump. People w/o children usually respond to other people in the manner...

Background: We have two cats, both female. We have two, covered litter boxes. The boxes are side by side and both use by both cats. We clean the litter daily and replace it every couple weeks. We use premium, clumping litter (fresh step). We have two problems: 1. The litter gets tracked...

Bought another diffuser and put it downstairs near the prime spot he's been marking. Did another big clean-up, though I'm worried that stuff has seeped down past the flooring into the floorboards. Using an enzymatic cleaner, but the animalark website suggests a cleaner called "Force". Perhaps we'll...

I know it is not the most refined question you are likely to face today, but I would like to ask the more experienced crowd he How do you treat a cat when she throws up? It has got to be uncomfortable and disagreeable moment for them. The cat I feed tries to run away from the spot when this...

Ozzy is still doing good with the chickens. When they all run at him at once he gets a little nervous. Now I have to break in 2 other cats and a dog.. what a lot of work this is. Sorry I havent been around, My computer was took over by spyware and adware and really got messed up. Take care, Judy

I'm appealing to the wisdom of the group in hopes of finding some interesting thoughts/suggestions/solutions to a problem which has been ongoing for about 2 years now. I had raised my cat from tiny kitten stage on a sailboat I formerly lived on for approximately 10 years. She grew up to be a fine...

I hadn't paid attention to the band since "Creep" but some folks at the office insisted they were some transcendent force in music so I picked up some of the later CDs. It sounds exactly like Pink Floyd. What is the big deal?

I want to order some Feliway spray to use on my cat carrier. Who has the best price? Dr.Foster/Smith has a good price but the shipping cost is excessive. -MIKE

Ok.... We got left this nice little outdoor black and white by a tenant in our basement that disappeared. She was quite pregnant it would seem as she had kittens shortly after. This was in April of this year. She hadn't even finished weaning that batch and was obviously pregnant again.

I live in an apartment building and already have a (100% indoor) cat. We are allowed only one pet in a unit here. Recently I saw a very friendly stray outside and gave her some food. Now she shows up at my door. It is also obvious that she is very pregnant. (She is so friendly that I know she...
