Help! I have a 12yo neutered male, adopted in August 2006, declawed in front (not by me)-- and he loves marking on plastic, or peeing in it. (plastic dust pan, for example). He has been to the vet to rule out medical problems, but is there anything I can do? He had also marked on throw pillows and...

HI We're looking after a BUNCH of cats at farm and want to treat them with FRONTLINE PLUS to control fleas and ticks. Since we have to treat a BUNCH of cats I guess it's cheaper to just buy a LARGE DOG DOSE. But I need the size of a cat dose (I think I read 5ml) ALSO does anyone know the amount in...

He has scratched most of his life (we believe its either allergy or behavior-related) with usually no more than a slightly bleeding scratch at its very worse. He now has dime-sized open wounds on each side (temple area). They heal a bit (one...

my 6month old kitten has just started pnating pretty hard after about 10minutes of playing and she's not playing very hard is there something i should be worried about. She also just got spaded last week on the 9th of May.

The following page has a lot of relatively recent nutritional info on canned foods: http://www.geocities.com/jmpeerson/canfood.html Perhaps some of you knwo about it but it was new to me. Now my only question to those who can read and interpret these numbers is, which ones are good, or let's say...

I open a can and put the food in a bowl. The cat decides after a few sniffs and licks that she's not in mood... Can the food be saved for later? If so, can I just cover it with a plastic wrap and refrigerate, or should I put it in a can with tight lid? Or, does it really have to be discarded...

Any experience with this book? Cat Health Secrets http://www.cathealthsecrets.com/?hop=darryl12 (For quick browsers, this is a question, not a recommendation. I haven't read the book.)

I am perplexed by how many intelligent-appearing people accept that food should be used as tooth-brush in a cat's life. This despite the fact that they probably rely on a toothbrush rather than pretzels to clean their own teeth. I got the same line pushed at me that dry food is good for a...

On every item I have checked, Petco is more expensive than Petsmart. Also, the two often have branches near each other. Do you understand why some people visit Petco and why it survives despite higher prices?

Many mammals have claws, with the primary function as an aid in digging and climbing, and for added traction. The claws of these animals are continuously growing, like our...

Among cheaper brands of canned food, how do 9Lives, Friskies, and Whiskas compare in nutritional quality?

We didn't ask for and don't have permission to name the source, so I won't, but a family member received this advice on commercial cat food from a nationally prominent professional: "Ironically, the most expensive foods are not usually better than lower priced foods. "I like Fancy Feast, Whiskas,...

Besides Usenet newsgroups, which other cat discussion forums do you like or find most helpful?

I normally buy at Petsmart and have a pretty good strategy of watching their sales and combining them coupons. However, they only carry Fancy Feast, Pro Plan, Eucanuba etc., the brands I might conveniently call premium but not "superpremium" ones I see selling for about twice as much at smaller...

Would you all be kind enough to look at these numbers: http://www.geocities.com/jmpeerson/canfood.html and help me select which canned foods are "good"? I am sure many will benefit from the list.

Sometime ago, I had a posted a question about how much to feed a cat. The response I rememebr (from Phil and others) was 20 Kcal per lb of body weight per day, for a neutered adult. So, for a 5 lb cat it would be 100 Kcal per day. However, it struck me that the calculator...
