Today was a good day to go see Chester, and lucky for me, I have the day off. (I usually get stuck working the holidays). So, I got to go along. I'm posting a URL for a photo. http://www.zoocrewphoto.com/cats/chester.jpg He was snuggling up to the lady's shoes when we there. He was...

Well, Cali's kitty acne is the least of her problems; she has a bacterial infection of her mouth!!!! She got a shot of penicillin and depo something anti-inflammatory and I have antibiotic drops to give her. Poor baby! Heaven only knows how she got THAT!! Ugh!! Oh, but there's a 6 week old...

Fatass, my CRF cat who is 16 1/2 years old, is now blind, and her BUN and CR numbers are as bad as they were when she was first diagnosed at the end of May. Last week my wife noticed Fats was acting a little off, and thought it might be her vision, so I tested it with the flashlight and by...

Hi, I just adopted a 4 months old kitten this weekend will be picking him up in a couple of days. I need some tips as I don't have experience before, I have purchased the dry and canned food, a litter box, food water bowl etc, bed, a scratching post and a horizontal scratcher. It will be an...

I buy 5.5-6oz cans and each is good for 2 meals. I used a tight lid and refrigerate the unused portion as per instructions. I always try to use it within a day. No matter how carefully I warm it, she is reluctant to eat it. I don't know if it is the fodd or she is missing the ritual of watching a...

2 weeks ago my 2 year old indoor-only Manx "Gray" managed to rip out his front right index claw. After 2-3 days it started to smell terrible so off to the vet we went. The vet said it may or may not grow back, and prescribed Amoxi drops to fight off infection. Gray has a big problem taking any...

I brought in my houseplants last night because it's getting cool at night. Dmitri used to try and eat the shamrocks and spider plants, so I got those up and out of Jasmine's way quickly. (After she taste tested both, and said "mmmm, I likey.") The diffenbachia is another story. It's large, about...

Posting for maximum coverage: please cross post:The ASPCA animal staging area in St Bernard Parrish will not be accepting anymore animals after Oct 15. I have a friend who is down there now and feels they are doing a good job of cataloguing the animals as they come in etc. There is an urgent need...

My 1.5 year-old-kitty is now left all alone when her only companion, my 9-year-old doggie was taken to another place for treatment of her terminal illness. My kitty, for loneliness or for the joy of being able to grab my full attention, has been following me everything in the apartment. She would...

I'm posting this about my sister's cat, Peasy. Last Thursday my sister took Peasy to the vet for a regular checkup/shots. Peasy is an indoor/outdoor cat so my sister makes sure she gets her vaccinations each year. My sister called me up, very upset, about Peasy's behavior since the shot. I...

I have a generally well-behaved 8 year old cat when it comes to using her litter box. She has only urinated outside of it a a couple of times; however, although ocassionally (once. twice a month), she will poop outside of it. Usually, when she does this, it will be on one of our scatter rugs, and...

Someone had mentioned in another thread that her cat doesn't like to eat paste-like food, preferring "chunks in gravy". My cat must has the same taste. But for some reason premuim canned food tends to be paste. Maybe most cats like it, but mine doesn't. If you can recommend some good values in...

From this point forward I'll no longer take part in your games of pin the tail on the ass. All posts from me will be cat related, unless provoked for one reason or another. Let's see how many of you get bored :)

I have a sofa that small slits (less than a half inch in length) from the back paws of my cats. What are the options to repair these slits? Thanks.

Hi Just found this group and its so very interesting and informative! First off we had one cat for 8 years *Schmoopie*, well brilliant me decided we needed a kitten to amuse and irritate him, so I talked the hubby into it. They get along ok, but now there are new problems arising. Last month...

My cat's now 9 1/2 years old, is mostly indoors, has had two bouts of cystitis, has luxating patellas which means she'll likely (if she hasn't already) develop arthritis. I'm trying to get her on a higher quality dry, since she's terribly inconsistent on what wet food she'll eat, if any. I can't...
