I took in a stray semi-feral cat over 2 months ago. She lived for 6 weeks in our basement separated from my other 2 male cats. The other 2 cats knew something was going on and could sense the new cat behind the door and occasionally heard her. When it was time to introduce the new cat to the...

This cat behaved so unlike any other cat I ever had. For a start, it rarely ever meowed, instead, it cooed like a pigeon. It also had those thick horizontal long hairs in the ears, perhaps you can see them in the first pic. It was also extremely smart. It had a very strange personality, as if it...

Hi, I had my cat Callie to the vet a couple of months ago for a checkup and the doc told me she had to have a tooth extracted but he did bloodwork first and found certain kidney levels were a little elevated so she was put on a special diet of Hill's k/d prescription food. She does not like this...

On 2005-01-14, Barb penned: Bought a little alarm through a catalog- I've seen these in a couple of catalogs- and it works! My two older cats never go on the glass top coffee table or the glass top table by the mirrored wall. They are allowed everyplace else. But the baby (2 years old)...

Hi, I'm lucky in the respect that my cat doesn't scratch the carpet. At the moment I've got a "twist pile" carpet but now fancy a "loop pile". I've heard that loop pile isn't a good idea if you've got a cat, but as he doesn't scratch at the moment will start if I get a loop pile as it would give...

My 10 year old cat was diagnosed with a tumor on his spinal cord today between his neck and between his shoulder blade affecting about 5 vertebrae he had a M.R.I. and a spinal tap. the spinal tap revealed the cancer had spread into the spinal cord and spinal fluid. My vet said there wasn't much...

The human food thread was cracking me up for some reason. What else do your cats do that make you laugh each and every time. There are some things that Luna does that just about kill me...without fail. -when her mouth hangs open cuz she smells something -when we play with a dangly toy and she...

Funny story; my old 55 gal "project" fish tank set up is now in the house empty and close to ready for reseal.... One of my cats has made it his hang out and loves to go in there! It is so funny, his name is "Little Darkie" and he's a very funny guy. When in there he rolls around and will...

Both I and my cat need a weighing scale and I was wondering if we could get by with one. For myself, I don't require analysis of water, fat, bone, etc.; accurate and consistent weight readings would do. Good readable display etc. For the kitty, I was thinking it should be accurate to 0.1 lbs....

I want to raise this to everyone's attention here. Steve Crane pointed this out in a post buried in another thread here, however this warrants a thread of its own to bring the information "up front" so to speak. October 15th issue of JAVMA (Volume 223 Number 8) details a study in which it was...

Hi, Have two cats. One is way overweight, the other fine. They've been free-feeding their whole lives--in recent years, dry weight-management kibble. Decided to feed less.. feed only a couple times a day and use canned wet food.

Hi, My original post about Meetoo was about her arthritis but her blood test came back and the vet said her calcium is high. Her potassium is low. She also has an elevated heart rate. They are keeping her overnight to give her an IV containing potassium and some insulin. I did not speak to the vet...

Has anyone got any Fawn Point Siamese Cats in the UK that they can show under GCCF rules ?

I trully do not know if anything can be done at this point. Figured will throw it up there, see if someone had simmilar problem. The cat is 5 years old and extremely submissive. Its afraid of everything and anything and recently it started 'spilling outside'. The cycle goes: the cat gets scared I...

My sister and her husband have a business in a Seattle neighborhood with a large feral cat community. They have been taking care of this community for about 10 years, feeding, vaccinating, spaying, neutering, nursing and finding homes for kittens etc. They are now needing to move their business to...

My male cat "Kitty" is very gentle. The feral female "Kiki" has been here for four years and two months, and is still untouchable and still hisses at me from time to time. As shown on my picture page, they have a Skyway that allows them to hang out above the crowd. They love it. A week ago, I...

About 15 minutes ago, I stepped away from the Monday Night Football game (which the Bucs seem determined to give away) for a few moments, and when I returned there was a small but grotesque puddle in the hall off my living room. Promiently featured in it was a much-abused segement of...
