Do cats have a high pain tolerance by
Al Kondo
I have two 7 month old cats who are health and very active.
Sometimes when they chase themselves around the house, they sometimes
bump themselves on a chair or table leg with a resounding "thunk".
Yet, they don't even seem to break stride. If I were to engage a
piece of furniture with the same...

What's wrong with Jackie Cat? by
dgk
Jackie has arrived! I took her home from the pet store on approval. If
it works out then I have to pay them the adoption fee and collect the
papers.
I really don't need a third cat. Espy and Nipsy are enough. But I saw
her sitting in the cage last week and just shook my head, knowing that
disaster...

Ron M.
We adopted Skeeter, a really sweet 2 year old orange tabby, a neutered
male, about 6 months ago. He's a really sweet cat, very passive, loves
to be petted. The idiots who owned him previously declawed him,
unfortunately.
Skeeter has always SCREAMED to go outside, so about 3 months ago, we
started...

biting by
Lacey
My cat is only 8 1/2 months old, yet he seems to be biting everything! He
tore up our toilet seat cover, and the toilet seat itself (the plastic foam
kind) and he's even attacking me and my husband while we sleep. Not to
mention the fact that he feels the need to chew on a metal table leg. What
if...

Fleas on Newborns -- Advantage Kill Them? by
Jerry Ingerski
My newborn kittens have fleas! I've treated the mother with Advantage.
Would the little kitties die if I put just one drop on them? I know the
directions say only for kittens over six weeks.

Outside the box frustration by
PattyC
Hi all,
I haven't been here in awhile, but I am back to request some thoughts or
advice. My 3 year old kitty has in recent weeks (maybe 8 or 10 weeks?) been
pooping outside the litter box on occasion.
I am certain this is a behavioral thing, but will tell you the details so as
to circumvent...

She knows a lot about it, but anyone may chime in.
I might just be writing for therapy though.
Jewel is in attack mode again right now.
I had been sitting outside and a neighborhood cat climbed on my lap.
Jewel knows the sight and the smell of this cat, in fact earlier in
the day he "Simba" also...

This morning I woke up around 1:30 a.m. or so to find that Hodge had
come up on the bed and was lying on my curled up arm, and what woke me
up was he was stretching out his front paw and feeling around in my open

stressed-out cat by
B Keene
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...

Surprising Shadow by
Cheryl
This cat never ceases to amaze me. Since he's been on a mainly canned
food diet, plus his pred. every other day (doing well on it, BTW) he
still keeps trying to find Bonnie's food. She still won't eat canned so I
have to hide her food from him, but leave it so *she* can find it since
she free-feeds...

Bad breath and...? by
Dennis Carr
A general rule, as I have read, is that bad breath is a harbinger of
illness in your cat in one form or another.
But here's the thing - what should I be smelling for?
It's granted that my cats are probably never going to have minty fresh
breath as they seem to have an aversion to my tin o'...

Anyone have experience with Chylothorax? by

I had to get Omar to the vet last night as he was having trouble
breathing. Xrays showed fluid around his lungs and they took 170 mls
out. The fluid fits the visual description of chlye to a T and will be

Outdoor enclosure by

I cleaned up the enclosure under the deck and made sure all ground stakes,
staples and cable ties are secure enough after months of having removed the
pet door (too drafty in the winter). Added a few more stakes to hold the

opening the last case of turkey, Amber refused to eat it. I noticed

enthusiastic about...
