I stumbled across the below website when trying to help my daughter find a topic for her social studies project. I am curious, why have I not seen any investigative journalism on this or ever even heard of this before? I buy their food, (until now) did yesterday as a matter of fact, and am in...

Sorry about the length of this posting but I can't seem to make it any shorter and give all the information of what I tried and so on. I'm at my wits end on this one my kitten is four months old, I realize this is sort of early for training but he does come when I call him. I have been using a...

I was considering doing cat sitting to make some extra money this summer as well as get even more involved in helping cats. There appears to be a big need for it and with my love of cats I figured why not. What does everyone else think? It seems that doing stuff like this is getting to be the...

Just making a new thread to draw attention to this! Charlie Wilkes in Bellingham, WA said he may be able to take Conan into a one cat, one dog home. This is potentially very good news. Can someone send him pictures of the cat (I know they were posted here at one point) and put him in touch with...

What causes a cat to drool incessantly? Our one year old, Saffron, was drooling quite a bit on Sunday. I watched it off and on all day, wondering if she should go to the emergency vet. She was sleeping, purring, eating, and otherwise was fine so I held off. She stopped by evening. Yesterday was a...

We have a 15 year-old calico, in otherwise good health. About a year ago, she went deaf, and about a month ago went blind. Putting her down is NOT an option. The vet says she'll adapt better than we will, and so far that's been the case. We're looking for advice from people who've been down...

Here's why... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,170-1707077,00.html I wish I didn't like it either! chas

I just spoke to Kelly on the phone, and she asked me to update everyone. She had the c-section on Friday as scheduled. She seems to be doing well, but is tired and the BF isn't happening at this very moment. It will, it's very early on. She should be home Monday. Baby A is Ainsley Louise: 6 lbs 7...

Hi, My otherwise healthy 8 year old cat was recently diagnosed with vaccine-related fibrosarcoma (the vet believes it was the 3 year rabies vaccination). He has an appointment with the oncologist on Tuesday. Can anyone give me some advice as to what questions to ask, what things I should read up...

He sure did, I hand fed them to him...lol just 3 of them. I thought maybe other cats periodically ate something odd like a green bean, or...potatoe chip, or...

Hello, I'm a new poster to the group and a relatively new cat owner. One of our cats (almost 2 years old, former feral trapped at about 6 - 8 weeks of age) has been extremely listless and withdrawn since yesterday afternoon. She slept most of the day yesterday, not even getting up and playing in...

I've gotten started with our local trap/spay/return cat rescue organization. On Monday I trapped one of the cats I've been feeding outside, and took her to be spayed. She was a little upset when I first found her in the have-a-heart trap, but settled down quickly and was as quiet as a mouse on...

I have a cat that perpetually likes to hide & go into seclusion. I don't like that. Two other cats we have never do that, and don't bully the 3rd one, and we'd rather then 3rd one be "out & about" to socialize with the others rather than hiding all the time. Sometimes she hides so strongly, you...

After Icarus' bout with a UTI, I decided to change to a food that all the cats can eat. Does anyone know of a relatively decent dry food at a good price which actually has meat in it? I checked out Maxximum which has chicken in it along with the normal ingredients that a lot of the other foods...

Hello, My 6 year old short-haired calico, Fiona, has not been acting herself recently. I'm very worried about her, but her vet does not seem to know what is wrong. Here are all of her particulars: Fiona is a strictly indoor cat. She is spayed. For about the last 2 - 2.5 years, Fiona has vomited...

Hello, I recently had my 5 month old cat go in to the vet for neutering and declawing on the front paws. Unfortunately, during the surgery he stopped breathing for about a minute (was revived) and he may have had a stroke. It is now a week after the surgery, and the vet is going to keep him for a...

Otis lived in a flat for the first 12 years of his life, and used a litter tray. He's now 15. I now have a house with a small garden and would like him to do his business outside, but he won't. He goes into the garden (no further as the fences are quite high and he won't/can't jump them) but...

Yesterday I got a 7 week old female kitten everything seems fine, she's eating and drinking and pee'ing. The thing that has me a bit worried is she hasen't "pooped" yet I've had to switch the food she was eating to a kitten formula geared toward her age group as she was eating her mother's adult...

I was wondering if anyone here has ever used those automatic feeders and water dispensers for cats? I was thinking of getting a couple for my 3 cats as I might be leaving for Las Vegas for a few days. I am considering a sitter come in but don't know any I could trust as they would be strangers to...
