I unleashed a monster a few weeks ago when I introduced my little cat (3 years old) to the Video Catnip I've had for years. (It's a VHS tape of birds and squirrels - other cats have enjoyed it a few times, but quickly figured out it's just a goof on them and quit watching) She's deaf, so at least...

Keep it up! The more you touch and pick up and hold your cats, the more likely you will catch any growth or problem early enough to make a difference. I hope I have. My cats are in big trouble now. I was already pushing it when I found that lump on Boo, now I'll be mauling them even more....

Hi everyone.. Sally here.. Im Elbies Mom... Elbie is my 13.5 pound Lynx Point Siamese, he's 3 and a half and has an attitude! Elbie and I are moving to Germany in 13 days. Elbies other mother insists her boy flies business class so he will be less stressed. The vet gave me Acevet 10mls for...

I recently found dark green stool in the litter box. Anyone know what could be causing this problem? I am pretty sure it is coming from my eleven year old cat. Anyone suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.!! Thanks -- Message posted via...

My mom has a 17 year old cat that has had CRF for sometime now. Last week, he stopped eating and started to become a bit lethargic. We hospitalized him for three days where they did Sub-Q and began epogen because apparently he had also become anemic. He was even more lethargic when we brought him...

Milo had his routine checkup at the vet yesterday, and she told me I'm overfeeding him. (He's a 5-6 on the weight scale, but he produces a *lot* of poop. He weighs 11 pounds, and he' a 1-year-old neutered male, 100% indoor cat.) She said the Purina folks overstate the feeding levels because...

My 13 year old indoor cat snuck outside and ended up spending the night on the deck before I realized she was missing. When I brought her back in, she was limping on her front right paw (and the other cat, her sister, is hissing at her). I've manipulated the whole paw and am pretty sure nothing is...

Am I correct that fleas have to bite you cat for the once a month stuff to work? If so, which is more annoying to the pussy, bathing or flea bites?

I've been faithfully feeing my cat two little cans of wet food per day, supplemented by good kibble. I've been giving her one can of fish-based food and one can of what she prefers (meat with gravy) per day in the name of variety and balanced diet. Now I read that cats shouldn't get fish...

My closet doors are mirrored, and Milo seems fascinated. Does he think it's another cat? Or, since the "other cat" has no smell, does anyone have a clue what cats do think of mirrors? I'd be interested in a good book on cats' mental processes. There seems to be a lot written on how dogs think...

One of my cats is definitely insane. I won't bore you with all we've been through to come to that conclusion, but trust me when I say, he's crazy. He's been on Prozac for two months and it's been great! I was concerned how it would affect him, but he seems really happy and very calm, instead of...

Hi guys - I currently own a cat who I've had for a little under 2 years. To the best of my knowledge she's about 3 years old now. I live in a pretty small apartment, 6-700 sq. feet and I work 9-5 so I try to leave lots of toys around for kitty to play with and make sure the windows are open so she...

Pemberton is a Short Haired American Tabby, who will be 2 years old in mid August. She was adopted from the North Shore Animal League here in NYC on April 7 just a year ago. She is a neutered female. We adore her and she has settled into our family beautifully. But, aside from eating like...

He's okay now, but I wanted to drop in and let you know that this group probably saved his life... or at least saved him a lot of pain and suffering. He was straining to urinate in the wee hours this morning but I didn't really "get it" until he tried to pee in the sink. Instead of getting upset...

I have yet to prove to my caregiver the cat, misses me and the talk radio keeps her company, yet the animal sheater said the radio being on when I am gone does not help the cat loneiness, who is right or wrong

Our 1 yo british longhaired castrated male cat has been on Whiskas oh so fishy for a week and he is going mad for the stuff to the point at which I am wondering what the makers have put in it to cause this, and whether I should be alternating it's use with other types of cat food - any thoughts? j

Well I've been force feeding Tommy since he left the hospital last week. Once I learned what I was doing and got a feeding syringe, he showed some dramatic improvement. I've been making making my own concoctions out of ground dry cat food, vitamins, corn syrup and a few drops of olive oil. I...

Hi everyone. We have a new litter-born May 14th-of 6 beautiful kittens. They all actually had thier eyes open at 10 days. One of them seems to have a problem with keeping it’s head up and in a ’straight ’position. She is gaining weight and a friend told me in time she should gain strenght and walk...

I took a nice photo of Ozzy and wanted to share, Enjoy. Judy http://postphotos.shutterpoint.com

Usually if my pussy tasted my food I give her the piece. Tonight after she licked it I just popped it in my mouth and ate it. If I get sick I'll not do it again. Guess after a while a person get used to such things. Specially with the bad economy people would grab a high price rib steak from a...
