My cat recently has taken to kissing me! At least that is what I think it is. He is in bed with me, then purposely strides up to my face, and deliberately plants his nose on my nose. I was a little disconcerted at first, but have taken to nosing him back. Have you all heard of such a thing? Is...

A situation has arisen for me in which I've moved into a friend's apartment with my two 1.5 year old cats (sisters) who do not show any signs of ocular herpes, and to my knowledge (based on numerous checkups with a vet) are healthy and disease free. My roommate has a cat that has in the past shown...

I went to buy the Marinated Chicken or Tuna Feast in Savory Juices, as Phil had pointed out, they are low in phosphorus. And low in kilocalories, I might add. BUT, it's now Marinated Morsels Chicken Feast in Gravy, grrrr. New Bite Size! Whoppee. Web site, click here for more info. Get a bigger...

Hiya Glancing through the CPL Xmas catalogue- I noticed they have Drinkwell water fountains and I am toying with getting one for the Fabulous Furballs So can I ask a couple of questions 1. How good are they?

My cat "Freedom" was recently afflicted by loss of body-coordination/ control in her back end (legs, excretory function), and getting worse throughout her body over time (so she finally would just lay flat on her side, just crawling a bit, with little interest in trying to eat or drink). She also...

One of my cats, Riley, strikes me has being handier with his paws then what is usual, at least in my own experience. None of his paw tricks are unique, but taken as a group, it seems that he's really jonesing for an opposable thumb. Alas, his genetic line stops here. Anyway, I'm going to share some...

My auntie who's house I'm at right now she started an animal shelter; they have two vets onboard and have a million dollar a year budget. (the city gives them this money) even the sherrif here is on the board They are the largest animal shelter in Greensboro their shelter is called the Ritz of...

Hi all! I posted last week about Spam, my 13 year old boy cat who has a heart murmur and kidney problems. We had the ultrasound today and got some better news. The murmur/cardiomyopathy is the most serious problem so he's been put on atenolol. He's got a checkup in a week and once his heart...

As some of you know, my 19 yo has been having accidents lately. I had purchased a quart spray bottle of Anti Icky Poo (AIP)(a bacterial based cleaner) about a month back. I'm ready to post my review. This stuff ROCKS! I was previously using Capture (dry powder cleaner) to do all urine spots,...

hERE'S ME BING COOL http://mysite.verizon.net/barrybignbad/me.htm yall aint doing nothin noways!

Hopefully. Anyone in the UK with nervous pets will no doubt be welcoming the hopeful end of the Bonfire Night carryon which usually starts 2 weeks earlier and in many cases goes on way after the 5th as well. My cat has spent the last few nights in hiding behind the settee and not even the choice...

My long haired 4-5 yr. old Isabelle is losing more hair around her hind quarters. We adopted her around 2 years ago and she came with a bald belly (they had shaved her to look for her spay scar) but long hair everywhere else and thick hair on her hind legs. Her tummy hair appeared to be making...

Just wanted to let you all know that I posted a few more new pics at our website www.richandlaurie.com As you can see, Kady and Koko are getting along fine :) She has been a joy to us , and she even sleeps all through the night now too !! YIPEEEE!! We are glad that Gabby brought us another...

Hi, One of my cats does something that has always confused me,. so I figured I would ask about it here. He licks things. I know a lot of cats do, but I dont mean food things, or plastic, which he does, but he is constantly licking the edges of things. Of anything, a book, a table, a wall, anything...

I have been a lifelong lover of animals. I don't find it odd that I fell into the job that I did (Zoonotic disease Research Analyst) working for the state. I've become involved in a lot of animal oriented projects at a much higher magnitude, but I remember, and cherish every year that I spent in...

Hello Everyone We have a 6 mo. old female kitten that does not shut up. She even seems to talk to herself. She was always yappy but it increased after she was spayed. I should point out that she is an indoor cat that only gets outside if one of us is with her or sometimes by herself for a short...

Hello all, I'm having trouble tracking down information online about my cat's symptoms, and I stumbled across this forum and thought somebody here might have some advice or information. My 3-yr. old female cat, Mya, was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) last December. Since then,...

We have a female cloud tabby aged about 4 years that has taken to excessive scratching - to the point that she is digging at her own flesh. We have always been regular with flea treatments and she is in overall excellent health. About six months ago she began scratching on the rear of her neck...

OK, as you may know, my 19 yo needed a new litter in our family room to help him with his accidents. I grabbed a priority mail box (the kind you get free at the post office)(good thing I am an eBayer and have this handy) and sliced the top off of it, leaving the side panels and sticky side intact....

Well, I got Spam to the vet today, and discovered he wasn't as arthritic as thought. His back legs are the result of an underdeveloped cerebellum and he isn't in any pain, but we should watch for arthritis in his hips in the future. He had a very slight kidney infection which is what was making...
