They won't wear collars. by
Mark Healey[_2_]
Recently a coworker had one of her cats escape. Fortunately she came
back. This got me worried about mine.
They are indoor cats. I've previously tried to get them to wear collars
and have tried the all stretchy kind and the kind with an elastic strip
and they took them off. I even...

Cat Friendly Plants by
Sheelagh >o
Does anyone know of any really cat friendly plants please? I would
love to plant something that I know will be entirely cat friendly in
the new cats run. I know that we all live in different countries, but
some of us must live in similar climates, so if you can think of any
that are similar to the...

Kitten hit by automobile by

Three days ago, I rescued a kitten that was in a busy road and hit and
unable to move.
I took her to a vet who told me that she has no broken bones,
appears to have no internal bleeding,
but appears to have nerve damage from her right shoulder all the way
down her right leg.
He initally...

Update on Eli by
Gary Woods
There was one query last week, which I can't find.
Eli is the 14 year old black cat who suddenly stopped eating.
Vet cleaned teeth, did all manner of blood tests and X-rays.
He's in good humor, affectionate, but just won't eat. S.O. gets him to lap
up a little Boost, and sometimes lick some beef...

Invisible Fencing for cats? by
Mark G.[_2_]
Good morning.
Can anyone here share any experiences or advice about Invisible Fencing for
cats? My kitty insists on going outdoors, and my veterinarian has suggested
Invisible Fencing as an option to keep him in the yard and out of the
street.
Thanks

Another baby. by
James
Another small opossum showed up in the rabbit cage. Don't know if
it's a child of the other young one or if it's a sibling. They
probably like to explore the cage because there's water, rabbit
pellets and some times a few left over bits of cat food.
Last night I left an empty can of N.E. clam...

Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) treatment?? by
CatMan07
My cat seems to have flutd. Howell says to acidify the urine, give the
cat ammonium chloride. Anyone have any ideas on how to use that? I
imagine I could add it to the drinking water. The taste might put him
off though. Adding it to fish might be better, as messing with his
water sounds like a...

cat has dandruff and oily fur at the same time?? by
Peg
Hello everyone - I have a cat with fairly long hair. I have to comb
her frequently to get the knots out of her fur, especially on her
back. I have had to take her to the vet to have her shaved twice, when
the fur became so matted I feared I was going to rip her skin right
off if I tried to comb...

Pet Smart kittens & cats? by

I have noticed over several months that many of our American friends
are
involved in Petsmart adoption days @ Petsmart. Would I be right in
assuming
that rescue dogs & cats are available for adoption on Saturdays &
Sundays?
How does this work? Does it mean that each shelter gets the chance to

Duffy scared me by

Duffy gave me a real fright this evening. This was one of the few times
when his blindness really "showed." I was sitting in a lounge chair
watching TV, and I happened to be holding the remove control upright in my
hand. Suddenly, Duffy leaped toward the arm of the chair (as he frequently...

Bonnie's vet visit by
Cheryl
I used the technique that I knew would work for today, getting her
in my bedroom, shut the door and remove the mattress and box
spring from my bed so she couldn't hide. Quick and painless. She
had the worst "Oh ****!" look on her face when I pulled off the
box spring and exposed her, though. But...

Varying Vets by

Couplea weeks ago, took Meep in for shots, and spoke to the vet about
the fur-mowing she's doing on her abdomen, down between her hind legs.
The vet was of the opinion that this may be caused by discomfort from
her cystitis, but there's no more maintenance changes to be made because

Thanks
