I've just given Meep her monthly Stronghold dose. Normally, she licks her lips, runs around a bit, tries to lick the spot, pouts and is fine. Tonight though, she's acting strangely, but I don't know how much of it is because I might have caught her half asleep; I'm also a bit concerned that I...

Hello, I'm fairly new here but I just wanted some advice about my 16 year old cat Spot? He's still quite a mobile, vocal cat but he's unable to eat pretty much anything without throwing it up a few minutes later; have tried Fancy Feast tuna, Dine, Whiskas wet food, and just plain old Coles brand...

As promised, a final update to let everyone who is interested know that Conan (now "Dylan" which we thought a more gentle name) has indeed been homed with wonderful cat-loving humans and a feline friend. He is a loving and lovable kitty lapping up all of the attention and affection he...

I'm thinking of switching my cat from Wellness canned food back to Fancy Feast after many many months. She doesn't seem to be getting nutrition from the Wellness, it appears to be going right through her. At first she was satisfied with 9 oz of Wellness a day, now 12 isn't enough. When she ate...

My kitty, a 3 year old spayed Maine coon mix is a full time indoor cat, but in the last month or so I've been taking her for walks in the yard in a harness. Occasionally during her walks she'll nibble on grass and sometimes she'll throw up a few hours afterwards. She is pretty long-haired,, so...

We've got a huge catmint plant in the garden. Ringo likes to lay down in it, and fall fast asleep. He definately feels that this is HIS plant and if any cat goes wandering through our yard (we have several acres of lawn very far from any street, but we do have neighbors with cats) he can't wait to...

I have two TOTALLY indoor cats. I decided last year not to continue vaccinating them (they are 5). However, last summer I found a tame but unneutered male cat outside (approximately 1 year old) and had it neutered, got it tested and had him vaccinated. He is the most loving, sweet cat and I know...

Who are you? This is the worst advice I've ever heard! How many litters of kittens have you had a "hand" in? \ I've raised countless litters of kittens, and you can pick up those babies and cuddle & kiss their little tummies right from the first day! I've never failed to socialize a cat, mother...

Hi. *waves, takes cautious step into the cyberspace of the newsgroup* I'm writing because I was wondering if people could share their experiences with their cats having gone through upper respiratory infections, hopefully with an emphasis on positive experiences. I adopted a little gray domestic...

Hello everyone, just wanted to update all thoose who were following the thread about my kitty Abby AKA The Lazarus cat LOL. I am thrilled to report that my new vet phoned today, she received all blood work back on Abby, and everything is NORMAL!!!!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOO! She is our little miracle cat!...

Hello there all. I haven't been around for ages & do apologise if this subject has been covered before. We have a female cat that we bought from Cats Protection League about a year ago - she was one of 14 cats rescued from a lady suffering with Alzheimer's & she is the most affectionate cat I...

Hi all Sorry to butt in, hope you might be able to help. My vet said that my ca, Jessie,t is now showing signs of slight gingivitis(she's 13 years) and is now going to have her teeth cleaned annually. She has been on a wet diet for all these years, and latterly a senior wet diet - well mixed...

We adopted a new kitten a couple days ago. She is approx. 9 weeks old. We also have a 1-1/2 year old female cat who we have had since she was a kitten. Two issues: 1. The kitten won't stop crying. We have her staying in one of our extra bedrooms. Her litter box, food, and toys are all there...

I have started telling Bonnie she is a "good boy" because that is what I tell Shadow and Shamrock. She doesn't know she is good girl and not good boy. lol She responds to it. -- Cheryl Trapped like rats. In a chia-pet. MIB II

I had to go stock up on food for the girls. Before going to Wal-Mart I told DH that I wouldn't be surprised if Fancy Feast had gone up alarmingly in price from the usual US$0.45 per 3.5oz can. I was pleasantly surprised when I found that FF had gone *DOWN* in price to US$0.40 per 3.5ox...

i believe i have failed at introducing my new cat arwen into the household (has one existing cat). too depressed to give the details now but i'm starting all over again as of today. would like to check if any of you have posted long, detailed success stories about introducing a new cat to...

Hi folks - a few weeks ago, I wrote for some help with Skipjack, who uses his box but uses other places as well. His first visit to the vet showed no UTI. Neither did a visit to a different vet. We tried to go to my preferred vet, but she's an hour away. On the day we had the appointment, Skip...

When I took Abernathy to the vet with his bladder infection, I asked the vet quite a few other questions. One was: What are those strange black flecks on his very pink nose? Her answer: Freckles! She said it is very common for orange tabbies to have freckled noses and linings around their eyes....

Has she been playing less since she got the dewormer? The kitten is under weight and probably is more fragile as a result. She should be thoroughly checked over to make sure nothing else is wrong with her. I would feed high quality dry and canned food. Feed her small amounts frequently and...

OK, cat people, I ... well actually we, i.e. Mother, the cats, and I, need some guidance from the best cat thinkers on the planet. I somehow feel this is the moment to say "your mission, should you choose to accept it........" because the situation is rather daunting, taking on aspects of...
