is the light weight cat litter any good

I have this black/grey feral cat that sometimes lives in a clump of bushes at the end of my driveway. Everyone in my family has seen a glimce of him run off as we pull in to the drieway. One day, I was in the drive washing the car and I spotted him under the bush. I decided to adopt the cat by...

My 9-month old spayed female has been diagnosed with asthma. She is being treated with Brethine and prednisone, along with an ointment for an opportunistic eye infection. Has anyone had any experience with this ... or suggestions? Thanks, Gail

OK, weird subject, but probably not what you think. While at the optometrist today, my wife and I stopped by a local pet shop where we purchased two mice and accessories for rodent keeping in our apartment. Aside from my umbrage at how the little guys were treated by the rodent handler (the moron...

Well, guys. Wait till you see the house I built for the cat yesterday. I still have to paint it and put shingles on the roof, then I'll take pictures.

This is just a freeform musing occasioned by several recent events - 1. Tammy Quist's homepage slogan "She will never know freedom, can she at least know compassion?" (http://www.wildcatsanctuary.org/index.htm) 2. The decision to find another home for Henry even though I loved him 3. The "hard...

Hello everyone - I have a cat with fairly long hair. I have to comb her frequently to get the knots out of her fur, especially on her back. I have had to take her to the vet to have her shaved twice, when the fur became so matted I feared I was going to rip her skin right off if I tried to comb...

My cat Milo was a shelter cat -- about a year in his first home, six weeks in the shelter (during which time he was neutered) and four months so far with me. In both homes, he was the only cat and was strictly indoors. His previous owner told the shelter he was very affectionate, but I haven't...

Thanks in advance to anybody that responds to me! We already have a 12 year old cat that has been ours for close to 6 years. On friday night we (my roommate and I) got a 2 year old cat from the local humane society. This cat is VERY nervous and takes time to warm up to people. I knew this when I...

A question for those of you who take your cats on road trips: How many consecutive hours in the car (in a carrier) seem to be easily tolerable for the cat? I have found that 6 or 7 hours is ok, but with pet-friendly hotels not being very prevalent, I'm wondering whether travel days could be...

I have a gorgeous 10 month old neutered Russian Blue and 2 neutered Siamese females. This little guy insists running out of the house. He did it 2 times. The first time - 30 hours of freedom - he got ring worm and ear mites. He did it again yesterday. We can't handle that. I know he is a cat, he...

Hi, Our cat has had surgery for a knee injury and seems to be recovering well (story below). Her incision area looks flush to the skin when she's sitting but it bulges out a bit when she's standing. Is this normal? should we be concerned about an infection? Our cat is not currently taking any...

My cat was sleeping peacefully on my lap when a commercial for a radio station came on tv playing Katy Perry eye of the tiger. The cat suddenly jumped up frightened half to death, ran behind the couch, and didn't come sneaking out until the song was over, looking around like she expected to see...

I've read a lot, pro and con, about raw meat and other home made diets for cats. What do people here think of them? Does anyone here make their own cat food? I like the idea, but I'm afraid I would leave out some essential nutrient, or else my cats would get sick from the raw meat. Is there...
