I recently started reading this board, and have been following Conan's story! After reading some of the messages, I became extremely concerned about the fact that people could justify placing Conan with Charlie Wilkes. He would not provide a suitable home for Conan. Anyone who gets his cat high...

We have litter trays for our 2 cats,..one is a 5 yo desexed caramel coloured short-hair male, the other is a little 7 mo non-spaide black and white short hair female who we keep inside untill she is neutered.. The male is fairly good, and uses the litter most times, but the female usually takes...

My 2 year old cat frequently squats but does not pee. My vet has told me this is behavioral, but I suspect it is something more. She has other clearly behavioral problems with the litter box--peeing over the edge, holding her pee until I am at home, peeing on rugs--but I am worried this is an...

My 12 year old cat cat has just been diagnosed with intestinal cancer mostly because she has an elevated white blood count and a lowered protein and no other symptoms such as feline lukiema or thyroid trouble, and no kidney involvement. She does not have any liver malfunction. There have been...

I have a short hair indoor cat. He's about 6yrs old. On his back there is about 4 or 5 little clumps about the size of my thumb. It's matted and tangled. I tried to use a brush and comb but ts just too tangeled. Im thinking about trying to wash/shampoo it out. Last but not least I guess I can cut...

Right now they have dog parks in the city where we live that are sponsored by the city, but I couldn't help but think that maybe we cat lovers should also have place to go with our feline friends that is sponsored by the city. What do you all think? -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your...

My girlfriends cats suddenly (today) began displaying weakness and lack of coordination (wobbly walk) in the rear legs. Her eyes were divergent, and the pupils were very narrow. These symptoms are intermitent--it happened twice today. Otherwise, she's fine, she eats and is in a good mood. Of...

Just brought another bag of Science Diet home and noticed this text "...great taste..." on the bag. How are we to know it tastes great? Has anyone here ever been so brave as to taste the stuff? If so, did it taste great? Do you think your cat will agree with your assessement of the taste?

Well, the new cats have arrived. Only time will tell whether they will be foster cats or will remain here for life. They will be here at least until December, when they can go to a no-kill shelter, but that seems like a bad place for shy cats. Of course, since they only arrived on Tuesday, Mingy...

Scapegoats and Feral Cats Working on the wheatbins at Mingenew, in the northern wheatbelt of Western Australia, in the early 80s, I witnessed the systematic slaughter of feral cats by high-powered guns. At an age where I'd grown out of the need to prove my passionate interaction with...

I have had Sienna since April and have not been able to keep her stool firm for more then 2 weeks. I started her with Wellness dry, then Before Grain dry, then Science Diet DD, which she lasted the longest on, then after I opened the 2nd bag, she started throwing up and would not eat it. The vet...

Two days ago my fiance and I discovered we have mice when our youngest cat stewie caught one and batted it around the living room. We hoped it was an isolated event. yesterday we heard him scurrying in the loft and subsequently bring downstairs yet another mouse. Thus, the general consensus is...

And Mary took me in. She showed a genuine interest in my cat Ruprecht, and we talked about Ruprechts diet ~ she was a lawyer in my court room, and a doctor in my sick room (laughter does good like medicine) waaayyyeeellll what can I say I know this might sound korny but

My cat is driving me crazy with its vocalization. It wants out, and we're trying to make it an indoor cat. That's the short story. Anyway, I know they do prescribe things for cats. Does anyone have experience with these medications? Do they help relax the critters so they can relearn behaviors?

It seems to have expired. MLB

Hallo, a few days after paying a deposit for 2 Begal Kittens, I found the following: They are confused as to whether they are wild or domestic and typically have horrible medical problems. The most common in Bengals (it is more common to have it than not) is irritable bowel disease, which...

I have a yellow tabby, about 3 years old. He has brown stuff around his lips. We have taken him to the vets, they have cleaned him up; said he had no cavaities and everything looked good. But 1 month after the cleaning he is back to having brown stuff around his mouth again. any ideas what it could...

I'm skeptical that expensive cat food brands like Science Diet are worth the money, health and nutrition-wise, over brands like Purina One. Is this a "boutique" type issue, where those who shop at expensive, organic grocery stores for human food (e.g. Whole Foods, EarthFare, etc) also tend toward...

A crawl at the bottom of the screen on CNN this morning says North Carolina is considering raising taxes on pet food as a means of reducing pet overpopulation. My first reaction would be that it's about as misguided as raising gas taxes to discourage consumption... Anybody here got more background...
